Hi, In looking over the new E10 spotbeam maps at http://ekb.dbstalk.com/297 I noticed that Spotbeam 39 (LA/SD) has transponder 31 listed (Tony mentioned this as well in an earlier thread), however http://www.dishchannelchart.com/ doesn't indicate that any stations are on this transponder...

Hi all, I noticed this last weekend that I could not get some stations that I had been able to get a week earlier. In particular, all the "minor" San Francisco DMA stations seem to now be on transponder 31 spotbeam 43 (thanks Tony and dishchannelchart for the info) and I am unable to get...

I am still troubled by the fact that no one seems to know exactly what SHVERA says, perhaps including E* and D*. My story: I moved in Fall 2004 to a new place When changing my address, the E* CSR offered me LIL and DNS ... I said "yes!" This is pretty much what would have once been called a...

I've not received any letter from Dish stating I need to choose between Distant Networks (DNS) and locals. It's been a while since anyone here has reported receiving any such letter. I'm wondering whether Dish sent the letters out all at one point in time and not having received one is a good...

... Or would that hose me? The situation: I'm in a white area where last year when I called to add locals the CSR asked whether I wanted DNS as well. I signed up for both and have happily been receiving both for some time now. I've not yet received any letter from Dish stating I need...

Hi, I was wondering recently about some possible programming changes. I looked on the dishnetwork.com website and it appeared that my service address doesn't qualify anymore for both local networks as well as distant networks, something a Dish Network represenative offered me on the phone...

Hi, I would like to suppress the banner Dish Network gives me when I change channels with my DP 301. Can this be done at all? If it cannot, is there a way to, move the location of the banner? Thanks and all the best... Roadrhino

Hi, I just obtained a new (for me) receiver at a yard sale that I intend to use as a backup. However, when testing it out, it seems to have a lock on the system. I went back and asked the former owner who says something like "I don't remember ... all sales final." Not too big of a deal...

I read recently (in a newspaper advert, I believe) that Dish Network was now including locals for free with AT60 or higher. I just got my bill yesterday and this seems to have been confirmed. The way my bill now reads is: AT120: 34.99 Dist Nets: 8.99 ------------------- Total...

Hi all, I've decided to Ebay an old 301. I've indicated that I am willing to ship to US buyers. A Canadian asked whether I would be willing to ship to him in Canada if he prepaid the UPS charges. My question is ... "Would I be violating any laws if I were to ship a 301 into Canada ...

Just under a month ago I asked how long it would be until a disconnect signal is sent to a receiver and n0qcu answered "could be in a month". He wins the prize (although he was the only one offering a timeframe). The loser is ... me. Last night at midnight the AT180/HBO/Encore package that...

Every so often I've seen mention of a smart card being "married" to a receiver. What does that mean? Redrhino

I know that I will get blasted for this question because satellite theft is a crime. Let me state up front that I do not approve of such actions. However, I don't have an ethical problem with selling old IRDs on ebay because I can't assume that someone buying the equipment is going to use the...

I feel somewhat guilty for asking (what might be such) a simple question. However, I've searched the archives and not found anything that applies ... perhaps this is because of my limited knowledge. Perhaps I should start by mentioning that my goal is to have a 2-dish 3 satellite system. I...
