Iceberg (or anyone else who might know). I have 4 R-16 500 receivers. I also am a longtime subscriber to the CI and Sports Pak options with the Premier tv package. I noticed that I am now getting the CI channels (769-787) displayed in my guide information. For some reason, channel 782 is "greyed...

Does anyone know why the MegaMillions and Powerball lottery results have not been updated since the 9/9 and 9/10 drawings respectively for all states on the Activity display? I usually check both results using my DirecTv display, but for some reason they have not been updated for the past 2...

The MLB EI channels finally showed up on my "Channels I Get" list about 3 days ago. I do subscribe to MLB EI. I noticed that I am missing a few of the channels in the 720-749 range that MLB EI resides in. In particular, I am missing channels 734, 736-741, and 745-749. If I look at the "All...

I just got up this morning and went to check the MLB Extra Inning schedule for tonights games (Thursday, 4/8). I cannot find tonights Angel/Twins game listed anywhere on DirecTV. It is not listed in the 720-749 regular MLB Extra Inning locations, nor can I find it in the RNA areas either, even...

I have recently switched from Dish to Direct in order to receive the MLB EI package on my TV. I have signed up for the package and made 2 payments so far. This morning I noticed that the MLBEI channels are showing up in my "Channels I Get" display finally, but channel 720 (MLBX-the 8 channel...

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...

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 for me anymore. I have 2 Standard DVR's, model R15-500 and both are exhibiting the same symptom since being installed 4 weeks...

Tonight I finally received my 4 new smart cards for my 4 311 receivers. I installed the 4 new smart cards without any problems, but was surprised when the 4 receivers all came up with my 8 Distant Network channels from All American on channels 241-248 working perfectly. Is this the way it works...

I have 4 311 receivers. Since these receivers do not have the capability of replacing smart cards, what will Dish be doing with this type of receiver during the present cycle they are going through in replacing the smart cards in those receivers that have replacable smart cards? Just wondering...

Missing 311 software release entry RandallA: (FYI) I think you have missed listing a recent software update for the 311 receiver for software release P435 in your thread which lists all recent software releases. The last one I found for the 311 receiver was on page 20 of the thread on 9/25 for...

I am switching from Dish to Direct after 7 years due to the availability of NFL and MLB packages on Direct. I currently have 4 standard Dish 311 receivers, but want to have 3 DVR's and 1 standard receiver in my new setup. Since I currently have 4 wires running from my antenna to my 4 receivers...

I posted this in the forum section, and so far have gotten no replies, so maybe I should have posted here first. Sorry for the duplication. I have been experiencing 5 second picture/audio freezes on all 4 of my 311 receivers since they all received the P431 firmware update about 2 weeks ago...

I am experiencing intermitent picture/audio freezes on all 4 of my 311 receivers. The freezes last 3 or 4 seconds, then the programming continues as if nothing ever happened. It is occurring on "ALL" channels on all 4 receivers. All 4 receivers recently received the P431 software update about 2...

I need some advice on how to force a software update to one of my receivers. I currently have 4 311 receivers hooked up to a Quad dish. 3 of them updated to the new P4.31 software update that was released on 3/5 for the 311's the next day, on 3/6 during the night when all 4 receivers were turned...

After troubleshooting my 311 receiver that powers itself off and on by itself after doing a check switch test with Dish tech services via phone last night, Dish shipped me a replacement 311 receiver today. I got their confirmation email that has a puzzling statement in it a few minutes ago. It...

I have 4 311 receivers. The last 4 mornings when I first turn on the one used the most (the other 3 are working fine), we only have a black screen with program info across the top. The epg is there, but the pic for the channel tuned into is black in the upper right corner of the epg. If I check...

Info for all 311 Receiver owners with new P419 software update: When you look ahead in the EPG guide until a new guide download is forced (about 36 hours ahead of the current time), it causes "no info" to be inserted in the guide for the current time period for some channels (not all) the next...

I just noticed that another channel (channel 541) has been added to the Center Ice package display in the EPG. Any idea why they have added 542 and 541 in the past 2 weeks? Simply for any game overflow on the original channels 543-558? I have yet to see a single game scheduled on either of the 2...

I have 4 311 receivers. I have received the new P419 update on 3 of them in the past few days which fixed a display bug in the old P417 update that had the effect of the switch not seeing the even number transponders on sat 110 when a check switch was run. Is there a "correct" way to force the...

In surfing today, I noticed that channel 542 has been added to the NHL CI listing in my EPG. It now runs from channel 542-558 instead of from 543-558 as it did before today. Could channel 542 be there for the NHL Network SD version soon to be added?

I have 4 311 receivers and a quad Dish 500. About 2 weeks ago, when I tried all 4 receivers, I got an error on 2 of them that an error had been detected on my switch when I first turned them on in the morning. I did a hard reset on the front of both receivers, and have never seen the problem...

This morning around 7:30am when I turned on my 311 receiver for the first time, I received a flashing message stating that a problem was detected on my switch, and my receiver would not come on. I had no EPG, bo pic at all. Turning the receiver on and off did no good. Suddenly about 10 minutes...

My wife and I are both retired, living on a fixed income from social security and a few investments. We have been watching SD TV for over 50 years and quite frankly just can't afford the cost of new HD equipment, and the added cost of subscribing to the HD package on Dish or any other provider...
