    Center Ice Standard Def? in 2011? what?

    I haven't seen an answer to this question anywhere yet. If DirecTV pulls all the 19 regional Fox sports networks off on 11/1 as they are threatening to do, will the CI broadcasts be affected on DirecTV in anyway?

    Iceberg: Thanks for letting me know your SD channel 782 is also greyed out. It's now Thursday noon, and channel 782 is still greyed out on my R-16 receivers.

    Lottery Results

    It happens from ALL channels. It has worked perfectly for the past year until the 9/10 and 9/11 drawings. I also noticed that it hasn't updated since 9/12 for the daily drawings for all 50 states. In other words, the feature stopped working after 9/12 for all lottery results shown on the...

    R15 DVR Problem

    I posted this in the other Direct forum without much success. I thought maybe this belonged here in the technical forum instead. After 9 years with Dish, I made the change to Direct a month ago in order to get the MLB Extra Inning Package. Watching Extra Innings on my PC just wasn't working out...

    Possible DVR R15-500 Problem

    Signal strength is not a problem. It is close to 100 at all check points. Even in the recent 15 inch snow storm we received here in Arkansas, we never lost signal except for the short 2 second freezes which are occurring every hour to every 6 hours. The dish even had a coating of snow on the...

    Tonight I finally received my 4 new smart cards for my 4 311 receivers.
