    211 As OTA Tuner?

    We cancelled our service last year with dish, but we still have an old 211 receiver with an ota tuner. I went to hook it up to the antenna, and I got a message saying my receiver's HD service wasn't activated. What gives? Why do I have to pay to use the OTA tuner in MY equipment?

    Contract Issue

    So here's my story...we originally started our dish network service in march of 2007, bundled with our phone company (AT&T, 18 month contract). Sometime in November we "unbundled" from AT&T and got a new account number from dish (all of our previous info, contract included, was transferred). We...

    VOOM on Uverse?

    I was browsing the AT&T Utalk forums and noticed this post from what I assume is an AT&T employee. I don't know how credible it is, but I just wanted to pass it on. Voom HD Networks + HD VOD + Subscription VOD + 1080p movies by end of 1Q2009 - TV Programming - U-talk Peer-to-Peer Forums

    Trial Period?

    After I place an order for directv service and it's installed, is there a period that I can cancel if I decide I don't like it? Without breaking my contract?

    Before I Consider Switching to DirecTV...

    I have a few questions before I consider switching to DirecTV from Dish Network. Is it possible to "move" with DirecTV service, and is it easy to do as it is with dish? How easy is it to get the NBC, CBS, ABC, & FOX national feeds in HD? Thanks so much for your insight! I'll post any other...

    I still haven't been turbo-charged...

    We got all the new channels, but no software update. This is for a 622. Have they not sent this to all the MPEG4 receivers yet?

    322 Switch Issue?

    As of a few days ago, our 322 has been displaying the "There's an issue with your switch, run the check switch test...". After each run, all 4 birds are okay, and the receiver works perfectly. You have to run the check switch test when the message comes up, it won't let you ignore it. This...

    Move 61.5 dish to other house

    My mother just got a HDTV for her house and has dish network. She has a DISH500 with a DISHPro Twin LNBF. Can I detach our dish 500 with dishpro dual lnb from our roof, and install it on hers? I should just be able to plug the dual into the twin, right (I hope that's what the parts are called!)...

    Dish 1000/Dish 500 Installation Advice

    My grandmother's tv died yesterday, and I convinced her to go all out and buy a HDTV for herself:D. She has a 211 hooked up to a Dish 500 (110/119). I have never installed a satellite dish before, and I'm pretty sure it's not that hard. Should I buy a Dish 1000.2 (for 129), or get another Dish...

    The Weather Channel HD Question

    Why is there no ticker with current conditions, forecasts, etc. like on the SD version? Is this an issue with the TWC HD or with dish? Thanks!

    Versus and Golf HD get their own channel, and E! HD on the way

    From EngadgetHD: Versus and the Golf Channel have been sharing an HD channel for some time and both have evidently graduated to the point that they're getting their own channel. This seemed like a pretty good combo to us, as we don't see much golf on at night, but we suppose some want to...

    Cartoon Network HD

    I don't want to start another "this channel shows no hd, so why is it even listed as hd" threads, but has Cartoon Network HD actually shown any HD content? I thought I read that the adult swim shows were produced in HD (the venture bros. was in stretched letterbox, made my eyes bleed). Thanks.

    HD STB Question

    My father just got a hdtv for his house, and he is a twc subscriber. I have a question about their HD receiver. Is there any way to map down the HD channels in the box? For example, instead of going to channel 504 (WTMJ HD), could he just go to channel 4 and have it be hd? It'd be hard for him...

    Why are some channels not available?

    As you can tell by my signature, we have the america's everything package, so we should be getting almost every channel. When I turned on my 622, some sd versions of channels were listed as being available for purchase. Some of the channels like this are FOOD SD, HGTV SD, USA SD, TVLAND, CMDY...

    Spotbeam Question

    I know the most of the SD and HD local channels are on different satellites, so is it safe to assume that if you receive the SD spotbeam, you would receive the HD spotbeam as well. For example, in Milwaukee, I receive the chicago locals in sd/hd (129), when they go to 61.5, would I be able to...

    MLB Zones Question

    Is there any area that is in the Chicago DMA and is also in the zone that can receive the Milwaukee Brewers games? I know of the claim zone map, but it isn't specific enough. Anyone with past experience? Thanks!

    Madison, WI HD Locals

    Has there been any statement from dish or any rumors as to when the Madison, WI hd locals will be made available to customers--green bay was just turned on, and madison is already uplinked to 61.5.

    61.5 Install Today

    Well I'm finally getting an a wing dish installed today for 61.5! Will they use a 300 or 500 dish? How long should this take? Are there any other immediate benefits beside getting our locals in hd? I hope everything goes well!

    Local Channels

    So I just got off the phone with a CSR to get an additional dish to be pointed at 61.5 for HD Locals (for free, no commitment:D), but after I was done on the phone with him, the local channels disappeared in the guide:confused:. OTA data missing as well. I called back and told them about it; had...

    Where is the HD Brewers Game?

    It was supposed to be on tonight on channel 444 HDALT (I had it set to remind me, so I know it was there before), but now it's not in the guide and I just get the hd rsn info screen. What happened to it?

    Newb Install Question

    Sorry if this is a newb question:); I've never installed a sat dish before. I'm installing a dish 500 along with my 1000.2 to get 61.5. I went onto Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values to get elevation, azimuth, etc...

    Channel 444 Hdalt Error??

    I'm watching the brewers game, and the screen just went out; no loss of signal on 129, because the voom channels work, etc. Anyone else experiencing this issue??? UPDATE: After 5 minutes, it appears to be back up and working.

    61.5 Addition Advice??

    Okay, right now I have a dish 1000.2 installed on our roof. There is a unused dish 500 in our garage unused (no lnbs, just the assembled dish). The mount from when it was on our roof is still on our roof now. What would I need to setup this old 500 on our roof, so we can get 61.5 when the...
