    Pulled the Plug

    Between the high prices, the lack of interesting programming and being switched to the Eastern Arc, where Dish Techs could not find a way to keep my signal going out every time it rained moderately, I called and cancelled my account today. I just do not watch enough television to justify the...

    FX Audio and Video Dropouts

    Seriously what is going on with FX on the Eastern Arc virtually unwatchable.

    Confused About Dish

    I am a tad confused about Dish and the Hopper system and how they don't seem to want to market to customers who do not have 3 or more HDTVs. This morning I contacted Dish customer service via ONLINE CHAT and asked about the cost to upgrade to a Hopper system. Now I have been dubious of the...

    Not At All Happy WIth The Eastern Arc Move

    Three weeks ago, I was told I needed to be moved from the Western Arc to the Eastern Arc for no other reason other than because. I was also told it would not cost me anything, but that is another story. Well, since the move to the east I have had nothing but problems with signal losses every...

    Yes, No, Maybe..I need to know.

    Before the price increase becomes a reality I need to understand how good the Hopper is. I upgraded to a 922 in the middle of January and am currently on my fourth one and it is beginning to frack up now too! I went with the 922 because it would control my bedroom set without having to pay...

    Self Install

    How much difficulty is a self install of the Hopper system. I did my own 722K and 211, but I have been warned not to try a Hopper/Joey install and should leave it to the pros.

    Distance - Sorry searched but could not find answer

    I would like to know the distance a node can be from the dish itself, if this matters. I see that the Hopper has to be within 200 feet of the node, but does it matter how far the node is from the dish? I am looking at a distance of 20 feet. Thanks!

    Questions and Concerns

    During a recent equipment upgrade the tech that came out discovered that a previous tech that had installed my wing dish for 61.5 had dumped the 1000.2 dish and had given me two 500 dishes, one for the 110/119 slot and one for the 61.5. At that time he told me that the sat at 129 was very weak...

    Am I Correct

    Looking over the channel assignments on the new 129 sat it would now appear that all my HD locals (Grand Rapids & Kalamazoo) are also on that bird, so does that mean I can dump my wing dish that I have been using since I upgraded to HD?

    Very High Lost Lock Numbers??

    In section B on the info screen are two unsuspicious number that actually refers to “Lost Locks”, which I can only assume means the number of times my remanufactured 722 has lost signal with a satellite. Normally, I could see that over the course of a 24 hour period tuner 1 would show a 3 or...

    322 & Lost Locks

    I have had a 322 for over 3 years and I have not had any problems until after the last software upgrade. Now on experience double digit lost locks, mainly on tuner 2. On any given day it can show as many as 40+ lost locks on 2 and 20+ on 1. Also there has been an increase of what I call a...
