    EPG Guide Data - daily update time ?

    I have been up lately at this hour for the past few weeks with the satellite receiver off and every day at exactly 4 AM ET., the receiver starts up for a short while about 7 minutes then shuts down.

    UHF remote antenna problems...

    With a 625, I don't use the supplied UHF antenna but have put in its place a small UHF bow-tie antenna which comes with the TV's along with rabbit ears for VHF. This bow-tie antenna is about 12" by 3". I have it up on the wall about 5' from the receiver. This receives signals from remote #2...

    Confused!!!

    If you are using a SD receiver then 61.5 doesn't offer much. If you have a HD receiver then 61.5 is good to have.

    Old Receivers

    I wouldn't throw them out. They could be donated to a school in your area which could use them for instructional and learning purposes for electronic programs. Also the 301 receiver could be updated to its latest version showing all the satellite locations and be used as a tuning device for...

    Calling Dish from Canada?

    Does anyone have a phone number for a Dish CSR that can be called from a Canadian cell number in Canada? A Canadian who owns a second property in the States with Dish service has a problem trying to call Dish from Canada. Thanks for the reply.

    superdish problem

    Settings for your zip with a Superdish 121 call for azimuth - 235 deg., skew - 122 deg., elevation - 28 degrees. Your skew is close enough and not likely your problem. Azimuth may be, or minor change with elevation. Slowly adjust azimuth and elevation. DP34 switch could be a problem also.

    HELP!! I want to watch the Yankees, Red Sox, or Blue Jays next season

This way you can watch the Yankees also with the combined games against Boston and Toronto which are plenty, also, Star Choice offers Extra Innings and Sunday Ticket if you...

    protecting LNb's from heat

    To help reflect direct sunlight from the LNBF cover all of the LNBF except the "eye" with kitchen aluminum paper. The reflector could also be painted with a flatblack paint. A trick from the C/Ku days with the 10' dish.

    Dish 500 Skew

    Yes. Same settings. Set skew before mounting and don't adjust again. Get mast plumb. Just adjust azimuth and elevation.

    Audit Department HELL!

    I used to have 3 receivers from Dish. Now I have none. The audit department decided because I only have cell phones that the 2 extra receivers at $5. a month were being used elsewhere so they shut them down. Fine by me, I cancelled the remaining receiver and now have 3 receivers from DTV. If...

    Interactive NHL Non-Existent

    The first thing in the morning I go to for all the sports scores is the tv. I have to settle for a moving scroll which sometimes means a prolonged wait for my interests. The idea of having an interactive sports scoreboard is to hasten this process. Dish Network does this properly with...

    Interactive NHL Non-Existent

    Here we are into NHL playoff hockey and Dish Network with their interactive sports seems oblivious to information with these playoffs. Every morning after yesterdays games, I expect to see at the very least, scores and standings up to that point. Good luck. They are not there. Missing in...

    118k lnb question....

    He is not talking about skewing the LNBF. He is asking about skewing the dish. If it is a round dish it will not have any skew adjustments. If it is otherwise and has skew adjustments then set the dish without skew.

    Scott's View and YOURS on the MLB Deal

    Scott, using your numbers in the opening post, Dish will be wise to allow Direct to foolishly pay that exorbitant amount for Extra Innings, unopposed. It will be just another nail in Direct's coffin just as Sunday Ticket has been. History has shown that CFO's have buried companies and this is...

    Dvr 625

    You want to have both tuners operating with a TV2 remote in the UHF function as opposed to using infra red for one of them, correct? Yes, both tuners from the same receiver will work with two TV2 remotes. You have to program each of the TV2 remotes with different remote adddresses. One of...

    Dvr 625

    The above suggestions will work but there is another way to increase range without spending any money. Sound interested? With the #2 remote, you can increase its sensitivity to transmit. Walk to a point in the house where your #2 remote just starts to malfunction or is hit and miss with a...

    Has anyone lost NPS distants as a result of "moving"

    You will lose Atlanta and San.Fran. after a short time. You'll have distants and locals for a while but eventually lose distants. Change of address comes from someone else.

    625 TV2 in Black and White

    I have a #625 and have not had any problems including the audio or black and white issues mentioned here. With either the L4.13 or L4.14 softwares. After reading the various complaints, I tend to think the problem may be similiar in nature with a strand of wire at a connector touching...
