I'm truly getting sick of no 3G in my area (centennial acquisition area, SW Michigan) and I get horrible service with my Nokia N95-3 (US 3G version). Was in Ann Arbor on Saturday, couldnt make/receive calls for a while, couldnt get on internet at all despite having 3G signal. Forced Edge to...

I was doing some testing last night on my signal strengths, and I am not sure what is going on. I have a 1000.4 dish and I'm aimed pretty darned good IMO. My locals (Grand Rapids, MI) are on Spot Beam 10, transponder 15 from 61.5 location. Other transponders in this beam include 1, 3, and 7...

I saw some references to a show called "The Beast" in my searches here, but I found no shows in the Dish Online section of my 722k matching that title. Are there currently any free 1080p titles out there I can use to test my 722k's HDMI path to my tv (through Denon receiver)? Or is there a...

I thought I saw a way to do this a few weeks ago, but now I cant find it. I want to turn off the nightly guide download on my 211k, as its run through my Sage HTPC and I dont need the dish guide. Is there a way to do this? I'm not talking about the inactivity option, thats disabled. But I...

I just re-activated my account today, with a new 211k receiver. Got the AT250 package, with HD addon, and am pointed at 61.5/110/119 going thru a DPP44 switch. I noticed I was missing all the RSN's, and I think its due to the fact that when the individual in the Exec Offices re-enabled my...

I just came back to Dish and thought I had previously sold my DPP44 switch so I bought another from a forum member here. Since I dont need two, I'm selling one. $75 shipped in CONUS. Switch works fine, includes power inserter and power cable. Like new condition, and was always installed...

Ok, so the topic title was somehwat in jest at all these posts from people announcing their intentions to drop or whatever. I do have a question though. I am looking at what all I need to get in order to get back on Dish, through Eastern Arc. I have a pole mount for my 61.5 dish still...

Selling my barely used PS3. Bought in April for Bluray playback only. No longer need it. Comes with original packaging, all original accesories, no scratches, perfect condition. The unit was used 3 times for bluray playback and downloaded a few movie clips from PSN. Also including the Bluetooth...

Selling one of my Zektor HDS4.2 switches. Silver color, excellent condition. Includes original packaging, manual, terminators. Switch can be used for YPrPb or RGBVH hookups. I also believe you can use this switch for a analog 5.1 switch, although I never used it in that fashion. Also does...

Dish 411 with R5000 modification for sale. Works and looks perfect. Purchased the receiver new and it has no balance. Asking $650 shipped ground in ConUS. Paypal preferred. Post or PM questions. Thanks for looking!

My parents switched providers from D* to cable for their programming. The "newest" receiver on their account was activated on the account last April. They have been a customer for years. Now to the very best of my knowledge, I purchased the receiver for them at Bestbuy. D* claims it was...

I'm doing some re-aiming this afternoon, and so far on average, the best I am able to get is 119 in the 95-115 range, and 110 in the 80-95 range. No tree blockage, slightly overcast skies. Are the CONUS tp's on 119 just that much more hot than 110? I'm in Southwest Michigan. Using a Dish...

I hooked up my OTA antenna feed to my 411 (from 622) the other day, so that I can use the OTA tuner inside Sage with my R5000 mod. When I first checked everything, out of 11 OTA channels (and sub channels) only 1 gave me audio, an NBC SD sub channel. All the rest were silent. I'm not really...

*manually moved to appropriate thread*

Did anyone ever compare/post signal strength readings of the 2 core slots (110 and 119) using a Dish 500 and a Dish 1000? Not worried about 129 at this point, just curious what happens on the core slots.

Ok, so I've had a pretty decent 622 since they came out, not really had any issues with it, and the first thing I did was put it into Single mode, shared. But now I am looking at doing something a bit different in my setup, and I am curious if I switch the 622 to dual mode, is there a way for...

Anyone have any experience with these? Both are identical, made by HTC. I think there is also an O2 flavor. Looking at getting one of these smart phones, as I am not all that crazy about lugging around a PDA phone. Size is nice, WM5, EDGE, BT, WIFI, quad band. Everything I want. I read a...

I never had the old XBOX, always was a PS user. So with that being said, are there any really good XBOX games I should get to play on my new 360? Any must haves, per se? Do they look worth a damn too? Been playing COD2 last night some, and its great in HD! :D But I dont want to screw with...

So I was looking around XBOX Live settings, and thought maybe I would change my gamertag name, had a better idea. So I go to do it and it ends up costing 800 MS Points (whatever those are). Is that right? Cant change your gamertag without a fee? what about adding a 2nd one and just not use...

Using a DPP44 with a DPP Twin feeding inputs 1+2, and a DP Dual feeding input 3 with 61.5. Output 1 goes to the power inserter, then to my 622 (via the separator) and output 2 to my 411. About 20 minutes ago, all even transponders went away. thought it was rain fade, as a storm is moving in...

My xbox comes today. Question about resolutions, what dictates the output resolution of the unit, is it the game, or is there a setting? For example, a 720p game will only get to my TV as 720p, or does the XBOX upconvert to 1080i as well?

So my iPod drive kicked the bucket a while back, I was able to reformat it and make it work for a while, but it obviously has sector damage, as it failed again. I'm tired of screwing with it, its an older 40GB iPod without video/color/photo support. So I want a replacement unit! I know that...

Whats your thoughts on this? I am really wanting to get a new phone (GSM) for use on Cingular. I was planning to wait for a Treo 700w variant to come out in GSM flavor, but was looking at many places and I wonder if the iPaq 6910 might be better since its available now. From what I can...

I am trying to find the REN values for my dish receivers, 622 and 411, to determine if the total of all my devices is greater than what my VOIP ATA can handle. Does anyone happen to know what the values for these receivers are, or where I might find them? I didnt see it in the manuals.

And that would be the total disaster, more commonly referred to as the US Olympic Men's Hockey team. It was utterly brutal watching their games. Anyone else think we could have assembled a better team?? :confused:
