    Yeah, I just checked at 8:38AM and mine were out (I had not checked earlier in the morning).

    Raleigh, NC NBC17 and FOX50

    I still get an error dialog (error 004) on 17-00HD and 50-00HD at 8:20PM

    Same problem here. Check switch, power cycle, nothing helps.

    I tried to watch the News Year's programming on the HD feed of ABC from Dish. It was a joke. So I complained to dishquality. Apparently, so did at least two other folks. Here is the reply I got (after a week and a half): "Thank you for expressing your concerns and interest in DISH Network...

    My latest reply from Dish tech support: "Thank you for your e-mail. I will definitely pass this information along. The ‘official information’ they’ve been passing down the wire for the last few months is that we do not support PSIP data at all. Like you’ve said, we have had several customers...

    I conversed with tech support at Dish about this issue.... guess what? They essentially claim that none of us should be getting any guide data for any of the -01 channels. That some of us do get guide data, is an accident. I find this hilarious that I'm supposed to believe that the guide data...

    Raleigh HD Locals

    Sometime between yesterday and today I lost my guide for these stations again. I'll try a reboot again in a bit to see if I can get them back. Being totally new to Dish, does anyone know where one reports such problems? Is there an email address, web form, etc. or do I have to call a tech...

    Yeah, I'd like to blame WTVD for this one, but I can't report the same results. I had 011-01 (WTVD OTA HD) up at the same time (PIP and doing swaps frequently). The OTA signal was very sharp and the dish provided feed was just a total joke.

    Yes, my ABC feed from Dish (WTVD) is really poor. I tried to watch the New Years Eve programming on it and it was a really huge mess. Looked like a bad youtube video. With all of the lights and flashes it was really quite hilarious. I've sent a mail to dishquality (like that does any good)...

    Didn't have to wait a week.... Just checked the guide and 005-01 and 050-01 OTA have reverted to "Digital Service" rather than appropriate guide data. Went through a check switch again to force a guide download and the guide for these stations is restored. Is anyone else in the Raleigh area...

    Raleigh HD Locals

    Hmmm.... I get up this morning and notice that the guide data for 05-01 and 50-01 just say "Digital Service". All of the other OTA local channels have guide data. The corresponding sat locals have guide data... just not channel 5 and 50 OTA. How about that. Wonder how those stations are...

    622 == Battlestar Survivor

    Bah ha ha ha.... this poor quality software just keeps getting 'better'. I'm watching a recorded concert (from the Rave channel). When done, I hit stop. Then I delete the recording. Hit live TV.... and live TV I get. The only thing I'm missing is the lady beside the TV playing the piano. I...

    622 == Battlestar Survivor

    Man was I excited. I had my 622 record Battlestar Galactica in HD from UNIHD. So I go into the DVR and hit play. What pops up? Well nothing other than Jeff Probst and the Survivor finale! That's right, my 622 thinks that Battlestar Galactica in HD is equivalent to Survivor in SD. I can see...

    118 signal strength

    Yep I was having dropouts. Everything except 118 was excellent in strength. So I went and got my wrench and went to work. Seems my installation guy peaked 110 and 119 but never went back and fine tuned the aim for 118. After 20 minutes of tweaking, I've tripled my 118 (transponder 2)...

    118 signal strength

    What kind of signal strength should I be receiving on the 118 sat? I get 90 or above on all of the other sats, but get anywhere from nothing, to 20 to 40-50% on the transponders of 118. I have a dish 1000+.

    Raleigh HD Locals

    No CBS HD from Dish... yet. From my understanding, WRAL and Dish have to come to terms first... and they have not. I was a DirecTV customer two weeks ago. Had been for 10 years. I moved to Dish because I wanted HD and I wanted a DVR I could live with. I had used a DirecTivo for 6 years...

    I have a single Dish 1000+. Four LNBs with four cables run into a switch. From there only one cable runs into my house.

    Error Message EA09 in Dish Home Interactive Channel 100

    Nope. I thought maybe it might have something to do with signing up for service just a few days ago and that it might work itself out of the course of a few days. But I guess not. I'll give Dish a call this evening and see what the problem might be. Doesn't make much sense. I use a land...

    Error Message EA09 in Dish Home Interactive Channel 100

    Was your problem resolved by information on this page? I have the same problem. Land line, modem working, dials out, etc. Always says "unable to connect to dish network at this time".

    Well, I take some of this back. The Dish provided feed of ABC does look good. But a comparison with the OTA version shows differences. I'll chalk up not seeing the differences the other day to a mistuned TV (I finally got around to proper calibration of the new set). Whatever the case, there...

    I just got a 622 installed yesterday. I also have a DB4 HD antenna pointed at the main twoer in the Raleigh area (THE tower, not the UNC tower). Everything is hooked up to a 56" 1080P DLP. Before I got the 622 I would watch OTA channels from the HD antenna directly via the ATSC tuner in the...

    622 Timer Bar Display

    Just got a 622 yesterday.... My experiences so far are best summed up as, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". I'll post separately about the two lockups I've had and the recording I managed to cancel without any "are you sure" dialog. But for now, what should be a simple...
