Thanks for the tip. I was careless and didn't check all the channels. I figured, hey, if it showed 5 or 6 HD channels, why wouldn't it show the rest...Life lessons...I'll call them up and see what happens. Unless others here know of a quick fix...

Hi all, Got upgraded to 622/211 last week and upgraded to the Dish HD bronze package. Really strange things been happening. I get all the HD channels perfectly up to HD Equator channel. (9471). Any channel above that, I get a 40 seconds of blank screen, then a message saying "cannot find...

Thanks, i guess it's trivial now that I called up dish again and spoke with retention again. They admit making a mistake in not telling me that the 811 won't pick up the new channels i'll be subscribing to(bronze) and they'll waive the $49.99 fee to replace my 811 with the 211. I'm very excited...

and what are the voom mpeg 2 channels? how many are there?

Bummer, how much is dish giving out the 211 for current customers? I know it's $199 for the ViP622

Hi all, I called Dish network today and upgraded my old DVR-510 to the ViP622 and the Dish Bronze package. woohoo. However, in my living room, I also have another HD TV which i'm currently running 811. My question is, can the 811 view the new 25 HD channels I'll be able to get the ViP622 i...

I just hear that 811 is a crappy receiver. and think maybe another OTa receiver will allow me to lock in signal better with my indoor antenna

Hey gang, Got a dilemma here. I just moved to a new house that's closer to the towers (SF bay area). I am with Dish and have a 811 receiver. I bought a Terk TV5 antenna that works pretty good. I get most major networks at 65%-75% signal lock. However, 1/2 the networks require the antenna to...

wow, for reals? that's pretty weak. Okay. thanks for letting me know. It was driving me nuts since I also have a 811 at home with caption built in.

I just got my DVR-510 yesterday. REally happy with it so far. Can someone please tell me HOW TO TURN ON CLOSED CAPTION?!?!?! I looked all thru the manual, search thru the menus, search thru this forum, search through google and i cannot find that information anywhere!! please help!

what will the fogger do?

maybe i can just until it dies in there..muahahah....i hate spiders!!!!!!!!!!!! (except spiderman)

When opening the set up, its it very sensitive? i'm just deadly afraid of messing up any of the TV components. i can't believe a freaking spider can crawl in there. but then again, there are large vent holes in the back of the Tv. i'm surprised this hasn't happend to more people.

I'm not sure where to turn but i thought you experts can help me out here. A real, freaking spider somehow found its way INSIDE my big screen tv. It's really annoying because i can totally see the spider crawling around while i'm watching TV. Please HLEP!?!?! I have a Panasonic 53"...

wow guys! thanks for all the suggestions. I really really do appreciate it. Sorry for the confusion. I do mean Dish Pro 500 TWIN, not dual. (there terminolgies are confusing to me). I will go back and lock in the 110 and start messing with the elevation, skew and aziumth again. BEfore i do...

Sorry to bring this up again. i still can't get it to work. I covered the 110 LNB and sure enough the signal drops off. However, for the life of me, i still cannot get a signal for 119 WEST on transponder 21. (and what the heck is all this transponder crap anyways?). I tried raising the...

The problem is, i did a check switch, and i get "X" on both 119 and 110 feeds. I'm using a Dishpro 500 Dual LNB. If i get 110 locked, does that mean i'm almost there? i still don't get what Transponders are. I'll leave it on 11 then. But with 119, transponder 11, i get the "wrong satellite...

Hi gang, installation question. I have a dish 500 dish and went to do an installation today. I seem to get everything working, but only for 110 West with transponder 11 locked, over 90% signal strength. HOWEVER, even the instruction booklet, says i need to get it locked in at the 119 WEST...

What trips me out is that i'm a new subscriber, so i got my 2 HD receiver free. but he is a current subscriber and he said Dish wants to charge him $300 for an HD reciever. I told him to threaten to go with VOOM and see how far he gets.

This is more of a curiosity quesiton. I subscribe to dish and have 2 811 receivers at my house. My friend just got an HD tv and wanted to test out what HD will look like. However, he doens't have 811 receiver but has a dish 500 already installed with a much older SD receiver. Is there a...

Hi gang. This site really rocks! I'm a new dish customer and i love the 811. Espeically now that I have my locals coming in via an OTA antenna. it's freaking amazing how many extra channels i get. Can't wait to cancel Dish's local channel and save $5/month My question is: When i'm in SD...

Hey, Just stumbled onto your site, this site is awesome. wealth of info. Anyways, i just subscribed to dish, got the 811 receiver, awesome. the guys i signed up with also said they can give out free DVR. but during my initial research, dish will charge $5 extra a month to allow the dvr...
