    HD Service Fee

    Thank you all for your help. I think I'll stick with an SD receiver, 3922, until either forced off due the age of the receiver or DIY comes out in HD, which ever happens first.

    HD Service Fee

    I understand that Dish charges a $5 fee, for possessing an HD receiver but not carrying an HD package. I am interested in upgrading my receiver with the future intent of subscribing to an HD package, but at this time HD does not contain the specific channels I am after. My question is...

    Worship Network - Channel 116

    Yes, except much of the time there would be nothing on the tape. A terrestrial signal 85 miles away is not the most reliable, especially in digital. But you have a great idea, if the circumstances were different.

    Worship Network - Channel 116

    Worship is a great channel! Unfortunately I do not have hi-speed internet at home and must watch between 1am and 5am, on a former Pax station 85 miles away. It would be nice if additional stations would look to them to programme sub channels and over nights. It is a lot more valuable, to me...

    Unable to get SA IPTV to work

    When I hooked up the installation, at my parents house, I had to go into the router and tell it to use G band only. The set top box was locking up on the "WEP" entry page and never going home. Once the router setting was changed, the set top box began working.

    Fate of Sky Angel Channels on Dish Network

    I will miss the Worship Channel. But at least I can get it off of a local DTV sub channel between 12 midnight and 5 AM, and on line, I can hear the sound.

    Great testimony!

    what do SD channels look like with HD box- letterbox?

    I find the stretch modes make people look fatter and scenes are distorted. I would like to see all SD finally go away.

    What will you do when Sky Angel DBS ends?

    I will just receive OTA, and with the bulk of my time, find something better to do than watch TV.

    Satellites for HD Pack

    Presently, I have Dominion programming and a few Dish SD channels. I have one dish aimed at 61.5 and the other at 119/110, connected to a model 3900 receiver. If I were to upgrade to an HD receiver, probably a 211, would I be able to get the HD Only Package with my present alignment and...

    Spirit Replaces Familyland

    Too bad Familyland has to bite the dust. Maybe Dish will take them up as a PI channel.

    RFD TV (Not a Rumor)

    On RFD's Website they say that Dish will carry them on channel 231, as a stand alone, for $1.99. If true, this would be another option for those who do not want to buy into a package.

    Model 322 Receiver Phone Line

    Last week I installed a 322 receiver in my parent's home. They are subscribed to SA and Dish locals only. On initial set up the receiver required a phone line connection before it would load the programme guide and there was no canceling that feature. Once installed I disconnected the phone line...

    Channels on 61.5

    I have two PBS channels through Dish and Sky Angel service, but get no PI channels. I was told by a dish CSR that I would need to subscribe to their 60 channel package or better. To me, it is not worth it.

    Charlie Chat Tonight!

    Opinion: I think that ALL paying customers should receive the FCC mandated PI channels. Not just those subscribed to the 60 + services.

    OT: How can people stand OTA?

    Reasons for prefering OTA over cable or satellite are many, here are mine: 1) No CSRs to fool with 2) No ever-rising monthly fee 3) No commitments to a plan 4) No down grade penalty 5) No putting up with loss of programming due to fights between providers Of course, this limits me to...

    Inside Sky Angel 04/04/04 summary:

    Oh, I don't know. SA has some preaching channels that run the full spectrum from the "Health and Wealth" theology to the more legalistic Seventh Day. Then, there is the Roman Catholic doctrine on Familyland. I think the SA folks are tolerant so long as the individual channels subscribe to SA's...

    Home Improvement Shows on SkyAngel

    Great idea!!! There is a Christian PBS channel in New Orleans, WLAE. Maybe they could work out something. See their website at www.pbs.org/wlae/., and if you think the idea has merit, shoot an email to SA and WLAE.

    Inside Sky Angel 04/04/04 summary:

    I think it would be great if SA could pick up a Christian PBS channel. These are not mutually exclusive terms. WLAE, New Orleans would be a good pick. See www.pbs.org/wlae/.

    DISH Network Adds Three New Pakistani Channels

    61.5 and 148, that I know of. I think one of their new slots may also be dedicated, in part, to foreign channels.

    Lost Locals

    Please direct me to one of those posts that answers his problem. I have a similar problem where 110 dropped off the dual switch (legacy). I now receive 61.5 odd/even, 110 x/x, and 119 odd/even. The usual re-boot check switch schemes did not work. Thank you.

    E-mail I just sent to ceo@echostar.com

    Can anyone imagine that only 4 decades ago many people had only black and white TV and only one channel to watch? What whining! How pitiful!

    Anyone have guesses for tonight's chat?

    I am hoping they will feature, as special guest, "Polka Joe" of RFD-TV!

    How's your Locals PQ?

    The Dallas/Ft. Worth locals have improved over the last couple of months. While traveling, I had an opportunity to watch the Shreveport locals and they are horrible. My main gripe is the smearing of facial features, on close-ups, upon movement.
