    Line of Sight Question: Dish vs Direct

    Thanks for the info all. I've ordered D* and am going to give them a try. Hopefully they won't say it needs to be on the roof too. I'm a bit leary of signing another 24 month contract, but we'll see how it goes!

    Line of Sight Question: Dish vs Direct

    I have a 722k receiver which got installed August 2009 in Greenville NC. Now I'm in Raleigh NC. The angle of the PIC is to the SW; however the tech was mentioning that the HD signal would have to point in a different direction, but I'm not sure. The Dish tech seemed to think that the Dish...

    Line of Sight Question: Dish vs Direct

    Was hoping someone could help explain the differences between Dish and Direct's line of sight angles for me. I am an existing Dish customer and just moved to Raleigh NC. The tech said there was no good line of sight unless the Dish was mounted on the roof and thats the only restriction the...

    Need Help with HR21-100

    Last night we had a little mishap at home and the HDMI cable in the back of the receiver became unplugged and after hooking it back up the system locked and required a reboot. After rebooting, the HR21 will no longer record two shows at once and only allows us to watch whatever is recording if...

    Cancelling Service and Setting up Service with Different Name

    Do it. I did it recently because Dish forced me to do so. Anyway, you'll get new equipment, new discounts, etc. You should sign up through Dish Store. We did and got a check for $125. We also upgraded from a 622 to a 722 and got a 2nd DVR for only $99.

    622 remote control help

    I have an issue with my 722 and remotes and figured I would just post in this thread. The IR remote that came with the 722 started working rather poorly and Dish sent me a new remote. When I setup the new remote it worked fine, but then it started working poorly again. I have two 6.3 IR/UHF...

    My Story +Returning Dish Equipment

    I have recently canceled my Dish service because of stupidity on Dish Network's part. I didn't want to do it, I still have Dish in fact. I had Dish with an 18-month commitment that would have been over August 14, 2008 and actually ended about a week ago. A series of unfortunate events happened...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    So were you excited to watch someone play Hitman 2 on the original XBOX or is it the Blizzcon 2006 Festival or maybe the 2005 Madden challenge? That channel had ZERO new content. You're better off going to gametrailers.com and watching NEW content.

    What Should I do?

    Can you put an account on standby when you're on a contract? I didn't think you could do that.

    What Should I do?

    All, I have a interesting situation and wanted to get some feedback from the board as to what I should do. I have Dish and I love it. There is enough HD for me for right now and if they live up to their promise of having 100 national HD channels I see no need to switch. I live in the...

    AT&T/Dish Network Rant- Need Help!!

    Contact the PUC or the FCC. They have your back. Was the supervisor you spoke with nice or unhelpful? If so, call back and be very polite to the CSR and ask to speak with a Supervisor because the CSR is not going to be able to issue a credit in that high of an amount. I can tell you though, the...

    Why are the VOOM Networks so bad?

    Scott and Richie backed me up! That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm just disappointed that the quality has dropped so quickly. What do you think about that now flamers!

    Dish HD Locals Update

    I hope Greenville, NC does get HD locals! Everything here sucks and that would be sweet. OTA rocks, but this would be a great addition. Then Dish can put it to Suddenstink!

    Why are the VOOM Networks so bad?

    Why do they always play the same crap over and over again. It's like someone flicked a switch and they just loop programming over and over on every channel. Can someone shed some light on the subject?:confused:
