    HR 24 guide

    2 questions. First, I looked ahead to Fri nite, and my guide info hasn't populated. I did this about 2-3 hrs after service was initiated on my D* account. How can I re-load or update my guide info to get the 14 days I think I should have? Second, the guide only shows 1 1/2 hours worth of...

    D* Sat locations?

    I currently have E* and when we put in HD, we had trouble with the Sat at 129 being lower in the sky. I live in East Texas about 2 hrs north of Houston. I'm moving to D* because of costs and programming. Are the D* sats higher or lower in the sky around here? Seems there's a tree across the...

    FSN HD coming on an hour late

    For the last two nights, FSSW has shown the Texas Rangers @ Oakland A's in HD. Last night the HD didn't start until an hour into the game. And tonight, 1/2 hour into the game it's not showing up. I've written to ceo@echostar. But ain't getting a lotta comfort from that. Is this happening with...

    Recordings shutting off during playback

    I've recorded a lot of shows, mostly on CBS, though not all, and sometimes when I watch the show while the program is still recording from my timer, it will stop playback near the end. At that point, I'm only able to re-start, but even when I do, it stops in the same place, usually with 10 or...

    Programs cut off before ending

    I often record programs using the DVR (a 622) and then start watching them shortly after they start, by pulling up the recording - the tv is often on another channel. That way I can eat dinner, cut commercials, etc., and have things at my convenience. However, since last year, I've noticed that...

    "Moving"

    If I were to get D and found I was not satisfied with the Locals for my area, and wanted to "move", could I do so and tell them that there was already a dish there and I had hooked up my own equipment with everything looking fine? Would it be necessary for a tech to come out? I would want to...

    Texas Ranger games and Locals in Tyler, Tx DMA

    Anyone who follows the Rangers from Tyler's DMA? If so, when the games are not on FoxSouthwest, but are broadcast from KDFI in Dallas, are some of them in HD? KDFI broadcast some of them in 2008 in HD. I currently have E* and am in the Dallas DMA, but they don't have KDFI in HD, and I'm missing...

    VIP622 recordings halt early

    Some of my recordings have halted with 10-15 min left on the program. S/W version is L617. I've just really noticed this the past couple of weeks. But I'm recording programs that start on schedule and end on schedule, but when playing back, they abruptly end and there is time remaining. Latest...

    Antenna Recommendation Nacogdoches, Tx

    I live on the north side of Nacogdoches, kinda behind the Walmart, zip 75965. There are tall trees NW of me, and a fairly clear sky to the south. I'm interested in OTA for Channel 19 (CBS) primarily but would also like to get the others around here. Anyone have a recommendation? I'm thinking...

    Reconnecting 2nd TV

    I originally had 2 tv's and 1-622 receiver. The 2nd tv went away to college. Now we have a 2nd tv, and we'd like to connect things as they were previously. If I remember right, a cable goes from the 622 to the 2nd tv, and a UHF remote (Remote 2) is used to control it. I'm using the original...

    I'm trying to login to my account to verify that I got Cinemax for $.01 for a year. It says: "Unable to logon to system due to technical difficulties. Please try again at a later time". Is anyone else going thru this? It's been this way since yesterday evening. Thanks.

    Cubs and Diamondbacks game 2 on TNT HD now. Bottom of the 1st and they say they're going back to TBS. What teases. Can someone kill this thread? Looks like I spoke up way too soon. (Sad face)

    Re-wiring for 622 and 322

    I have a VIP622 that is serving 2 tv's now. I'd like to just use it for the #1 tv alone. There is a 322 that was left here when I got the 622 and E hasn't sent a return box for it. There is 1 line coming from the dish to a ground block. The ground block has 2 inputs, but only one has a line...

    Recording on 622

    I'd like to record the Masters tomorrow. The last time I recorded something, I could change channels on TV1 but when my daughter tried to change on TV2, it told her that changing would interrupt the recording. I just want to record 1 channel and watch another channel on both TV's. Is this...

    SD/HD on Panasonic TH-50PX60U Plasma TV

    I'm buying the Panasonic plasma on Friday and will upgrade to HD programming. There are no HD locals in my area, and a lot of what I watch will be SD. Does anyone have this Panasonic TV? What success are you having with watching SD and HD? Do you have any tweaks you can pass on? I hope to be...
