Anyone remember me? I've been out for 15 years, had Dish for a while. I still like and respect them, but severed ties a while back. But I'm back into FTA! :) 1580353297 (yes, still collecting those space beams)

I have the HD-only package, which up until tonight has not included the P.I. channels (9400-9417), at least on my receivers. Now those channels are available to me. The guide information is almost entirely missing, which is always the case with new additions (and I did see the two threads...

I just need to clarify a few points... assume each ends with "right?" and please correct me if I'm wrong. :) Ground wire for the tower/mast/mount should be 10 gauge or thicker, copper, solid, with no insulation. If the mast is at the point of entry of the line(s), then the same ground wire...

I have been bitten by the analog bug... :) I recently got a Toshiba TRX-80 analog receiver and will soon be getting a remote that should work for it (thanks Davage). It's currently only set to C band, and I only have a Ku band dish, but I've played around with it some and made some interesting...

I flipped to WNGS and it has the NBC coverage of the PGA Deutsche Bank Championship, complete with the NBC/Olympic bug in the corner. :confused: I know they'll air feeds from other channels to cover scheduled things (like MLB games) but this is a little stranger than normal since it doesn't...

I acquired a Toshiba analog VCII capable receiver, except it didn't come with its remote control. Does anyone know of a universal remote control that has a working code for these? Specifically, it's the TRX-80. Thanks. :)

Like a lot of us on here, I'm really itching to get an HD capable FTA receiver. The facts on some of the units (upcoming and currently available) are a bit sketchy. So I've decided to combine the results of my research in a form that is easy to view and (sorta) easy to expand as needed. I...

Introduction to the ViP222 The ViP222 is Dish Network's most recently released receiver. Its two independent satellite tuners allow reception of Dish Network's SD and HD programming. The additional ATSC tuner allows reception of local digital off-the-air TV channels, in SD and HD. The...

First, a bit of background before I get to my question. I have many locally modulated channels on my in-home cabling. This includes a few devices with built-in Ch. 3/4, two Dish Network receivers capable of a few in the UHF/cable range, and two ChannelPlus 4-channel modulators. All in all, I...

Hi, I'm back :) after an almost 20-month break from basically everything satellite & home-theater related. It was an unintentional break, but it wasn't due to any negative reasons. But anyway, I would like to see what my options are, given my upgrade wishes (listed below). My current...

Has anyone heard of the duet "Bitty Bops"? It seems to be two girls, and one of them is absolutely stunning as apparent in the music video of theirs I caught on The Tube last night. I liked their sound, and the video is fun to watch. ;) I tried googling the exact phrase "bitty bops" and got...

It's Blair's last show (I started watching after she left, so it's my first Blair show). Just in case you're wondering why the phone numbers aren't up. :) Gary, I tried sending in my Emmy nomination for Confessions Live but I guess those Emmy folks don't know what they're missing. ;)

I often switch between HD/SD output on my 921, HD mode for obvious reason, and SD for when I want to watch something on the 921 in my other rooms (modulated on channel 35). Anyways, I set it to 1080i for HD output. Usually when I switch to SD then back to HD, it (correctly) goes back to 1080i...

The front page used to have a link where it shows the # of replies for each news item. Now that link is gone, so the only way I see to view the replies is to click on one of the "news archive" items then from there click on the "Front Page News" forum link at the top. Edit: Ok, so you can...

Strange question, I know, but what I'm asking is: has anyone here ever given a "free PPV" coupon to another customer, and was the other person able to apply it to his/her account? The only reason I ask is I remember reading something in the fine print on the coupon about it being...

Just a hunch... :D 15 to go at this time.

Hey, this is satellite related, I almost feel it should go into the General Satellite Forum on here. :) Anyways, to harness even more space beams from the many satellites up there, I bought myself a handheld GPS receiver. I chose the Garmin eTrex Legend and so far I love the thing. I got a...

This morning when my TV turned on to wake me up, it was showing the wrong show. It was on my 921 channel (ch. 4) as it was supposed to be, so I grabbed the 921 remote and it was on the right channel number (7427 WKEF-ABC-22), but the content was what should have been on 7425 WKEF-NBC-02. And...

The following describes all current options for HD services from Dish Network as I understand them. Everything is calculated with "HD only" in mind (no AT60...AEP, Dish Latino..., or other non-HD packages). Thus the initial 5.00 access fee applies. With qualifying minimum package level, just...

I seem to remember this being featured on a very special episode of Beavis and Butthead. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1517&e=4&u=/afp/germanytoadsoffbeat

My parents are thinking about getting E* so last night I was over there talking over all the overly confusing monthly fees, package options, installation credits + fees, equipment options, and wiring schemes (my favorite part!) with my dad. I was thinking of giving them a ClubDISH certificate...

I find the lyrics to "Man of the Hour" by Pearl Jam to be surprisingly fitting to the Voom situation, in particular about Charles. I've always liked the mellow tune and I hardly ever listen to lyrics (I enjoy melody/harmony over the words), but these seem to stand out when I hear the song...

OK, so I go biking around town all afternoon*, then come back, and do a simple refresh and now I see on here that the post times are shown differently. Instead of showing the actual date and time, they all say some # days and/or # hours ago. Did something change? My apologies if (a) this was...

I found this interesting. Flipping through the channels I found an informercial (or "paid programming") advertising VoOm. Never seen that before. It's on my local WB affiliate as of now (4PM EST). A side note, I found it while finetuning one of my OTA antennas and happened to notice my WB...
