    Need some OTA help

    Antenna is about 12' off the ground. Model unknown purchased from Radio Shack, I think. Diplexers are about two years old. Stations we usually watch are 25-50 miles away. Problem has been on going for about six months, it just finally got my goat enough to start investigating. About four...

    Need some OTA help

    Setup is WA 110/119/129 on pole 100+ feet from house, as we are surrounded by 80-90' oak trees. OTA antenna mounted on same pole. Can't get EA without moving further away from house. OTA split at pole to supply a 622 in house and a 211K in gazebo, using diplexers on both runs. Until recently...

    Trouble with recording over the air channels

    Krell, Won't argue this one either way, not educated enough on it to say. Contractor tech Tuesday said "no OTA after node." Maybe a knowledge tech will jump in and give us a definitive answer. Dish and OTA are both mounted on my old big dish pole 100'+ from house that is surrounded by 80-90'...

    Trouble with recording over the air channels

    My guess would be the OTA rcvr circuitry and interface with HDD. Mine will give me signal loss on OTA while getting a perfect signal with TV tuner. Recently it has started recording OTA timers at odd hours and for extended periods. For example, Monday, 2/10/14,. it started recording the...

    Someone please refresh my memory on Dish 500 and DPP Plus.

    It's a 1K whatever for WA installed about 4 years ago. My 622 is failing so was going to go to Hopper but only have one cable into house with OTA diplexed in and I don't want to lose OTA. Right now with temps in 20's and snow and ice I'm not going to try to pull another wire 100'+ thru the...

    You're right a twin, not dual. Do that all the time.

    Someone please refresh my memory on Dish 500 and DPP Plus.

    Our zip is 29376, but due to tall trees around the house we can only see Western Arc birds. Our dish is 100’+ from the house. Unfortunately our local HD signal is on EA. If I add another dish about 70’+/- I can see 61.5. I have an extra Dish 500 with a dual DPP Plus. Any reason I can’t use...

    Hopper/sling and OTA

    Well contractor came today in snow to do install. Says node has to go on pole and therefore no OTA cause we only have one cable to house. Told him no thanks, to just send me a replacement for the 622 which is dying. By the way can I use a 500 for a wing dish? Can't get locals HD on WA, wing...

    Switching to nomal TV from Dish Network

    My 6.3 IR/UHF for the 622 will only do volume and on/off on my Panasonic plasma. Same with other TV's in bedroom etc. The input button on remote does not work for tv. We have to use tv remote to change input from HDMI to antenna. I understand the remote with Hopper is more versatile.

    Hopper/sling and OTA

    Have been reading vrkeller's thread about OTA tuner with interest. I am working with DIRT's Mary to upgrade from 622 to Hopper w/sling. The OTA tuners in our 622 and 211K are definitely weaker than our tv tuners. We get more stations and better signal strength with the tv tuners. Our...

    My 622 is dying

    I think my 622 is dying. Often when I turn it on I get the error ‘No signal on OTA” (obviously saying which channel). If I then go to My Recordings it will show that it is recording that channel and has been for hours. If I go to ‘view’ I get a live picture on the channel that it just said...

    211K W/EHD OFF FOR WINTER

    Yes the 211 is owned, so we're good to go. In fact online chat turned it off yesterday. I'm glad I asked here, as it helped to pass this info on to others. Kudos to SatGuys and DIRT.

    211K W/EHD OFF FOR WINTER

    We have a 622 in the house and a 211K with EHD attached to the TV in our gazebo. If we drop service on the 211 for the winter would we have to pay the activation fee again for the EHD when we restart service for the 211 in the spring? DIRT?

    Scheduled recordings of FOX Sports SW

    Yes. All the time on Fxs Sports South, Sports South and the Alt channels. Yes, you can go back and change the start time, but should we have to? Any other scheduled recording will work so why not sports events?
