    Lost almost all channels

    Apparently, it was just an aiming issue. The tech reaimed the dish and everything works great.

    Lost almost all channels

    built-in. i did a whole bunch of stuff with the online tech and he thinks something is wrong with the switching stuff or the lnbs. One receiver can get 129 and 77, the other cant get either.

    Service call charge

    So my appointment was scheduled for today, but of course no one showed up after I spent all day waiting. They say the work order was misplaced.

    Service call charge

    Ouch. Now if there is a problem in an lnb, or in a receiver, is that included in the protection plan?

    Service call charge

    I have e* coming out tomorrow because I lost most channels. They wanted to charge me $29 for coming out. I even have the Dish Home Protection . What is the point of this service if they charge you? They did waive the fee after I complained, but I am wondering for next time and to see whether to...

    Lost almost all channels

    I have a setup with two dishes (one has 3 or 4 lnbs on it, and the other has 1 pointing in a different direction). I have 2 receivers (a 222 and a 211k). Everything worked fine this morning, then all of a sudden, I get just a few channels. Everything else says looking for satellite signal. The...

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    I just twittered Dish and told them to work on HD channels instead of wasting time with this stupid snowstorm naming crap. How much you wanna bet I don't get a response?

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    It is probably not a sign one way or the other. I am sure they probably have 10k people asking them the same question right now.

    The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

    Nobody knows if they are coming yet. As for false advertising, they can change packages, channels, etc. at any time for any reason they feel like, so unfortunately, nothing can be done.

    updates in 211k

    Thats where I am having the problem also. My 222 allows me to disable it, but my 222 has problems with lip sync with my hdpvr. My 211k works great except for this update thing. It actually works just fine as long as nothing tries to record at that time. I have sage setup to send a "select"...

    updates in 211k

    The item is in the menu and it allows me to change the time at which the updates occur. However, my 222 has an additional item on that page which allows me to disable updates completely. The 211k does not.

    Annual account??

    That sucks. I was going to check if I qualify for the hbo/starz for 3 mos deal even though I just canceled hbo/starz after my initial free 3 mo for being a new customer. I guess I gotta call.

    Annual account??

    When i try to look at my programming online, it says that I cant view it because I have an annual account. Dish said that this is due to the cinemax/1c deal. Is everyone else experiencing the same?

    updates in 211k

    I have a 222 and I just got a 211k receiver. I don't see anyway to disable updates on the 211k. Is this possible? (It screws with my htpc when it shuts down every night).

    HD Receiver

    Apparently it is a known problem between the 211/222 series and the HDPVR that Hauppauge is working on. Are there any non-dvr hd receivers not in this series?

    HD Receiver

    I currently have a 222 receiver. This box has problems with my HDPVR. If I buy another receiver on ebay, do I just call up Dish and they can activate it? What other non-dvr receivers have HD? I only really need one tuner and component outputs.
