    Dish, trees & cable woes - Seeking Advice

    I have been an extremely happy Dish customer for the past 7 or so years. I had the Everything package and loved pretty much everything. My property and the properties surrounding me have lots and lots of trees. I occasionally had issues when the leaves came out with signal loss and last year...

    PTAT not recording at all when signal is out?

    We had a minor thunderstorm that caused my dish signal to go out at 8pm. The signal is back but now PTAT isn't recording at all. This has happened several times before. I don't understand why the receiver isn't "smart" enough to start recording when the signal is back. Even my 622 would do that.

    All of my timers are gone

    I hit my DVR button today to watch some shows that should have recorded, only to find they weren't there. I decided to check the daily schedule and it's empty. All of my timers are gone. PTAT is gone from the schedule. I did a system reboot and they're still gone. Ugh. After being...

    VIP622 sporadically not recording timers

    Over the past few weeks I've had several programs not be recorded by my 622, despite them being scheduled to record and there being no conflicting programming. Everything is from the Dish signal, not OTA. I've spoken with Dish tech support and their only suggestion is to reboot the receiver...

    Dish signal dropping out almost constantly, what can be done?

    Tomorrow I have a Dish technician coming to examine a switch problem to our second TV, which is currently receiving no signal at all. While the tech is here, I want to have him check out dishes and see if anything can be changed or adjusted to improve our signal quality. Our signal drops out...

    622 not recording programs but says it is...

    Today my 622 started to act up. It began at 1pm. A show was supposed to record but was skipped. The reason listed for being skipped was "this event already exists in the dvr" or something like that, but it was a new episode of the show and should have recorded, just as it does every other...

    Bizzare problem - VIP622 randomly changed channels while recording

    I don't know how to fully explain this problem, but I'll do my best. Two times in the past 3 days, my Dish 622 box has randomly "changed channels" while recording a show. A few days ago, the DVR was recording "Deadliest Catch". About half way through recording, it switched off to a different...

    Dish installed a 500+ and now I lost 61.5 - so frustrated!

    A few weeks ago I contacted Dish about signing up for some foreign language packs. They said they could do that but they'd need to install a 500+. I said I'd be interested as long as my current programming would not chance. They assured me it wouldn't. Well, the tech just left and as I flip...

    Trying to get a 500+

    I'm trying to get Dish to install a 500+ so I'll have access to 118.75. I contacted them today about subscribing to the Viva Pinoy Pack which is listed as being on 118. However, the tech said I'd need a Super Dish and that my new Sat would be 129, and that's not what I want/need. Is there a...

    What do I need & how do I install a 500+?

    This might be way over my head, but I'm trying to do some research into what's involved in installing a 500+ dish. The reason I want to install the dish is so I can "move" to Pittsburgh and get locals in HD. I live in a very rural area between Pitts and Harrisburg and have been told HD locals...

    Is there any way I can get networks/locals in HD?

    I live in Somerset, PA (in between Pitts and Harrisburg). Dish Network doesn't offer my locals in HD. Neither does DirecTv. Even Comcast isn't offering HD service in this area. Yep, I live in the sticks. I've checked into an OTA but from what I've been told, due to the mountainous area of...
