My Dish is on my roof. I have mounted a 100 watt spotlight about 6 inches behind the dish. When snow is coming I jist plug it in until the storm is over. Works great.

Yeah, they do sell them, but they've been out of stock forever.:)

HipKat, your advice appears to have resolved the problem. Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion HipKat. I will give that a try.

Recently I have been receiving this message on my H3 (U517) every few days. Often happens in the middle of Prime Time. The message says it will reboot in 45 seconds and there is no option to prevent it. Very annoying. I have the reboot time set to 8 am but it seems to ignore that. Has...

I remember my folks first TV, an Admiral, about 1949. The only programming I recall was boxing on the Dumont Networt out of New York City. The TV was eventually replaced when the "Horizontal Hold" would not lock.

I may have found at least a partial work around for this problem. After you have selected the program do not select "watch". Instead select info on the remote and let it sit for a few seconds before you play the program. I am not sure this always works but I seem to have had some success with...

I have the Firestick and am very happy with it. I feel it has enough features to reasonably replace the $7/mo joey. I use Dish Anywhere on my Android phone, Kindle and Windows computer also. The functionality of the Firestick (pause skip/fast forward and back) is better than on any of the...

It's not just ESPN. I had this annoying pop-up on FS1 last night. I think the blame for this is squarely on Dish.

I would like to win a HopperGO!

Just wanted to give a shout out to JessicaR of the DIRT Team. Received excellent service in upgrading my VIP receivers to a Hopper system. DIRT is a great service on a great forum. Thanks!

If you have a full power HD CW station in your market, you should get CW in HD by the end of next year when Dish has to have all the HD local channels. Note it is stand alone channels, not subchannels. Does Dish have to have HD in all local markets or just all the HD in the markets in which...

I suppose "movers" are screwed with the mail service unless you can have them sent to the billing address, which is doubtful.

I used a black plastic bag over the whole dish and arm last winter and it worked well. Tape it closed at the at the bottom to keep out moisture. The snow tends to slide right off the plastic. Use black as it helps melt any snow that does stick when the sun comes out.

They will most likely give you an eastern arc dish (1000.4) that will be for 77, 72 and 61.5 satellite locations. This will replace your 110/119 dish. You will need an MPEG 4 receiver for eastern arc. A single coax will feed all three satellite locations to one single tuner or one dual tuner...

Thanks for the info guys. I never thought of the diplexer idea. That should work well for me. :)

I am going to install a 1000.4 EA dish for my 722. As it is some distance from the receiver, I would like to use a small TV and my deactivated 501 at the dish to align it. Will I be able to see the signal strength on the 72 and 77 birds with my 501 or does it require an MPEG4 receiver to see...

I just received the free Platinum with my existing HD, so I guess all CSRs haven't read the memo yet. Scott, every year this site saves me many times my Pub membership. I wish all my investments would provide a return like that! Many thanks to you and your staff for all the work you do.:)

I finally emailed Dish last week to request SPEED HD. If I had known they were just waiting to here from me, I would have done that months ago! Sorry guys. ;) All kidding aside, while I am a happy camper, I feel for you Turbo folks getting screwed over again.

When Dish says "soon" read "possibly eventually".:rolleyes:

NOHDjunkie Fine job diagnosing this problem. It is unbelievable that a subscriber can perform this analysis and Dish Network with it's vast resources doesn't have a clue! Kudos.

If you can get to the menus you can try system setup then restore factory defaults. It is an outside shot but it has helped me recover from various problems in the past. You will lose your settings and possibly your recordings but it is no good as it is anyway.

Chefwan, each day will be a little easier than the last. Wishing you a speedy & complete recovery!

Oh, it's possible to do that as long as his Pub membership hasn't expired.:)
