Kind of funny you say this because the customer service rep I spoke to last night suggested I need to allow it to sit for 24 hours to stabilize. It was late and I didn't feel like arguing so I said I'd wait and see if it downloaded the latest software overnight. It didn't so they're sending...

So I need to just allow it to get comfortable with its new surroundings? I'll leave the light on in the living room on overnight, too, to expedite it. :)

One of our old Hopper 2000's crapped the bed last week so Dish sent me a new one yesterday. After getting it hooked up, I noticed everything on the screen looked different on the other Hopper (and I'm not sure I like the layout either). Anyway, after an hour or so, all the updates were...

I moved today so I have new local channels. However, the guide shows everything as "No Info Available". I've tried powering the system completely down but nothing happened. So I went to Dish's Facebook page and they suggested I go to Settings > Diagnostics > Point Dish > Check Switch > Test...

I finally made the "move". Picture looks great so far. We'll see what happens once the snow starts falling.

No, that wasnt my locals. I get 58 on that.

The only other Montana markets are Missoula (which is all U of M all of the time) and Billings. And unless I'm reading wrong, all of the Billings channels are standard def - http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dnall&sub=true&market=Billings,%20MT

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you mention arc. :confused:

The signal on the one I'm trying to get (62) is actually higher than the one I'm getting on my locals now (58).

I'm using a Hopper so it took me a little while to find where to check the signal. Anyway, this is what it showed:

So it would be a no-go then. According to the North Dakota map, I'm about 30 miles west of the yellow circle.

ABC is what I really worry about, though, since they're more likely to broadcast Longhorns games (at least the ones the crap-tastic Longhorn Network doesn't steal).

So what are the yellow and green circles for? :confused:

At the moment, I live right on the eastern edge of the Great Falls, MT viewing area. I'm fed up with Montana St and the University of Montana preempting real football games on ABC and CBS every Saturday...and also with NBC not being in HD. Actually, I could live with it not being in HD. My...

Yep, the PBS station has been in HD for awhile now, which pisses me off even more that they are yet one of the Big 4 broadcasters arent.

All of my local networks are in HD except NBC. Every time I call or write and ask them when they'll switch to an HD broadcast, they say their broadcast is in HD in the local area (they are 275 miles from me in Great Falls) and that Dish is the reason I'm not getting it in HD. Of course, when I...

1) How many Hopper/Joeys were installed? 2H/2J 2) Were you able to get the best promotional price for the Hopper system? Had them talked into a 1H/3J hookup for free. 3 days before the install, I called back to change it to 2H/2J for $100 3) Who did the install/upgrade? Dish Network Tech...

Does that mean they can talk to each other? Sorry for being a simpleton.

I just spoke to someone at DISH about going 2H/2J instead of 1H/3J and he told me the two Hoppers cant "talk" to each other, so it wouldn't be much different than having 2 DVRs. Any truth to this?

Sorry if this has already been asked on here (although I'm sure it has). I searched but didnt find anything. I tried asking a CSR, but either she seemed confused and only confused me even more. We have 4 HDTVs in the house but only 3 people living here, so only 3 TVs will be in use at any one...

I agree. It seems so arbitrary sometimes. I honestly was just trying to get some PPV coupons and a little scratch off of my monthly bill originally.

Yes, I had to sign a 24 month contract. But I was only 7 months into one already, so its not that big of a deal.

I chatted with a CSR this morning trying to see what they'd do for me. He first offered me Cinemax free for 3 months. I just downgraded from the Everything Package because I dont watch enough TV in the summer to justify it, so I declined. A CSR from their Facebook page had already offered...

I've subscribed to ESPN Gameplan for 5 years now. It has never been in HD and I'm betting that continues for the foreseeable future. This will probably be the last time I subscribe because I bet I haven't watched 30 minutes combined this season. The only reason I even got it this year is...
