    I am trying to scan in OTA RF channel 12, WMOW - Crandon, WI. WMOW transmits 1 main channel and 2 subchannels (3 total). When I try to manually add RF ch 12 on the 211k it comes in as ch "0" and will not add the channels to the guide so they can be viewed. When I try the scan with a DTVPal...

    Dish VIP211k and Choice Select IR Extender Kit?

    I installed the Skywalker brand "Choice Select" IR extender (CHO1020 IR Distribution, CHO1030 IR Target, CHO1024 Single IR Emitter) to control a DISH VIP211k. The setup works but the response is VERY sluggish. For example I have to press "GUIDE" on the 20.0 IR remote for 2+ seconds before I...

    Dual Tuner Receiver with TV 2 HD Output?

    Does anyone know if Dish will ever offer a dual tuner (2 TV) receiver with HD output for the second TV (TV 2)? It seems the easiest way to do this would be to resurrect a feature Dish had with the old Model 5000 (I think it was the 5000) receiver, the 8VSB HDTV digital modulator output. An...
