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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

Three times now, since October on startup the receiver has had no picture and no audio. After a few minutes the audio will come in and a couple of minutes later the video will appear. While in audio only the screen is gray hash. The 622 is connected to the TV with HDMI cable. Its not the TV...

Last week Ma-in-law's system quit getting signal. It is a 301/legacy twin/500. Ran check switch and returned 'no switch detected.' I hooked the 301 up to my dual dp/500 and it worked fine. Took it back to her house, hooked it direct to 119 and it worked fine. Went on line and ordered a new...

My brother is in a rural loghouse rental with no cable access and poor broadcast reception. We want to install my old 508 for him to use. House has been prewired using CL2 CATV coax. Can we couple RG6 from dish to this cable and then to the receiver? We really don't want to drill holes in...

Earlier this week while watching a recording on our 625 we got a pink screen off and on for several minutes. Again tonight just as the World Series game was starting we got a pink screen for several minutes. So far it has only occured on locals and was on two different networks. Search for...

Dtvpal website/800 call I just sent the following email to ceo@echostar.com It has been some time since I have spent as frustrating a half hour as the past one has been. I logged on to DTVPAL.Com to order two converter boxes. The first time I entered the info it refused the order with no...

Recently, last three weeks, our 625 has been displaying random artifacts and sporadic blanks in the audio But not at the same time. Is this related to signal degradation or receiver related? Signal strength generally runs in the 55 to 75 range depending on sat and transponder. We're in...

Came inside to watch the local news off the dvr (625) but it wasn't there. Checked the timers listing and it's still there for daily recording. Also all listings for locals (Greenville, SC) show no info available. Anyone else having this problem?

We have been DIsh customers for almost 10 years and finally made the move to a 625 from 508/3900/301. Don't have an HDTV and in no hurry to get one. Used a local retailer. Friday AM it took all of 20 mins to change LNB from legacy, and unhook the 508 and connect the 625. Dropped the 3900 and...

Is anyone else having a problem getting on E*'s website? Been trying or about 15 min with no luck.

I want to add a 3800 to my system with a twin 500 Lnb and a 508 DVR. When I hook the 3800 up it only gets 119, yet the 508 gets both 110 and 119. Any thoughts on why the 3800 is limited? When it was installed at Ma-in-law's it worked fine, but it has been parked for a couple of years.
