Amen to that. If there was anyone ever on MNF who would talk for the sake of talking, it was Kornheiser.

I'm still old school SD. My guess is that Dish is no longer giving it much priority.

I get drop outs and some out of sync issues. Occasionally, the picture will briefly go to a pink screen, but overall the picture quality is normal.

I talked to a CSR yesterday who said there were ongoing issues with Fox in general. However, I've only noticed it on live broadcasts, NFL Football in particular. And I've also noticed it on a live broadcast on The Big Ten Network. I'm thinking that the software they use to quickly transcode...

I realize that. That wasn't my question. Is the plan to take the SD locals off 110? What will the 8SPK receiver do that my old receiver can't?

I have one of these relics, a 508 actually. What does this mean, and how will I be affected? I'm guessing here, but can I assume that Dish no longer wishes to double broadcast HD and SD, and thus the change? If so, this sounds like a good deal to me. However, if my locals move off 110 and I...

Main receiver, 522 connected to TV with RCA cables. 2nd receiver, as well as my parents, 508 connected via coax.

You can use the sun or moon position to give you a rough idea where the satellites are located and whether you are obstructed by trees. Google for "Place Satellite Dish using Sun." Fill in your Lat and Long and which satellite you want. Use West rather than the default E. We are about a...

For the past few weeks, since the beginning of the NFL Football season, I've noticed bad audio quality. I thought it may have been the local Fox station only, but I also noticed it this past Saturday on The Big Ten Network. Seems like it only affects live sporting events, and I get it on ALL...

I did that last night. The tech said that -7 was borderline, and the there IS compensation software built in to the 721, I think he was feeding me a line of BS, or he didn't know. A tech is scheduled to be here in two WEEKS!. I trust you guys here more than the techs, that's for certain...

It does. "LNB Drift Detected. 0x0d, 0xa1, 110 e-7" Would someone like to translate this?

I have the exact same issue on my 721, Superdish 121 into a DP34. I connected a 501 into each of the coaxials and no signal issues on the other receiver. Dish told me to take the 721 and connect to another coax [the one the 501 normally connects to] but I haven't gotten to that yet. It...

Hopefully, the guide will update overnight. Normally, you would be able to advance the guide a day at time until prompted to update te guide info manually. But since you 'reformatted' the drive, there is no guide info to update.

I'd be even happier if we were to get an actual FSN-Wisconsin channel and not have to deal with the Alternate channel BS. Direct doesn't have it either.

I mentioned that I connected a 501 to the same input coax as the 721 and had no issue with the signal. And its only the 110 even transponders that have the issue. The odds are fine. And, no, the ones I'm having problems with are not spotbeams. 110 TS 24, the transponder with the RSN feeds is...

I assumed you meant one must start the timer manually while the game is in progress by pressing the 'record' button. I now have a more serious problem, in that the 721 won't lock on to the transponder. It behaves like the wiring or switch is bad [only the even # transponders have problems...

Sorry for the incorrect 'code' Gary. I was referring of course to Dish. As I stated in my update post, I tried using the Dish Pass on my 501 receiver and it didn't work. The SETUP worked, the timers show as being scheduled, and the timer fires, but not the actual recording. It behaved as I...

2008 update. It still doesn't work. I can set a manual timer and it will work, but not from the guide. The same applies to my 501. I also cannot use the 'Dish Pass' feature for a Sports Alternate. D* has confirmed this as well. I also have Comcast Sports Chicago, and everything seems to...

I would be surprised if no one has complained to Dish about this, and it wasn't addressed in a subsequent firmware update. Any current 721 users care to chime in? I was originally told by tech support that the receiver needed to be replaced. Of course, the replacement behaved identically.

I have a DP721 and can't record baseball on my sports alternate channels, 444-453. I select a future game from the guide, as I would select any other program to record. The timer fires as scheduled, appears normal [red record light is on], but when I play it back, all I get is the Dish logo...
