    First problem with PTAT

    I just got a hopper with sling installed yesterday to replace a 922. I was looking forward to using autohop this afternoon, but I couldn't find any 'roos on any of the recorded programs. I thought it was something I did wrong. Glad it wasn't, but I really want to use the autohop function.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I voted yes, but I also didn't take the Roku because my TV already streams Amazon VOD. I called in and got a regular CSR who first offered me 3 months of BB at home. Balked at that and he offered me 1 month of Showtime. I literally laughed and told him you've got to be kidding--transfer me to...

    Charlie's Blockbuster will love this.

    I'm going to drop streaming too. Nothing more frustrating than watching a blurry picture that stops and starts all of the time. As far as a faster internet connection, some of us don't have many choices. I know, its 2011 and its hard to imagine but its true. I'm stuck with AT&T "Fastaccess"...

    Anyone else notice digital "noise" at top edge of screen?

    I've seen those lines on one of my local stations only during some commercials. The worst offender is a TVA "Energy Right" commercial. It could be the fault of equipment at the local station. I'm watching on a 52 inch Sony LCD.

    Anyone else having problems with their OTA module?

    My OTA channels disappeared from the guide a few days ago. I went into the OTA channel setup up and it claimed I had 255 channels with each of the channels showing computer gibberish as descriptions. I did a reboot and channels all came back. Glad it wasn't just me, but hope it doesn't happen...

    Crafty way to see ppv movies for less $$

    Yeah, I suppose it probably is an internet issue, but I just switched from AT&T Fastaccess DSL 6.0 (which rarely gave me speeds over 5 mpbs) to the fastest consumer ISP available in my area, Metrocast cable at 10.0 mbps. The new service has, as far as I can tell in doing several speed tests a...

    Crafty way to see ppv movies for less $$

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't seem to find new movies on Netflix. Even though they may show in a month or so, once you get them in the queue, the newesst movies always show up as "Very Long Wait" or "Long Wait". I've had Legion and The Book of Eli in my queue for several months. I...

    Anyone used a WD Elements WD10000EB035 1TB External Drive with Dish?

    2.0 TB WD external drive connected to a 622 and working great here.

    What is the maximum usable space for an EHD with Dish's one time archiving EHD fee?

    OLs403 is spot on. I have the same drive and have achieved exactly the same results. Drive was a good bargain at $115. Replaced a 500 GB Seagate with the sleep problem and I couldn't be happier with the new drive.

    Thanks DISH for keeping on top of situation

    r10fret, you actually make a very good point about the lack of backup on WCBI's and Dish's part. I suppose if they'd been prepared for this contingency it wouldn't have taken 2 days for them to have accomplished this. I'm just glad we were able to get something to take the channel's place. I...

    Thanks DISH for keeping on top of situation

    I just want to publicly acknowledge something that DISH has done and really didn't have to do and probably couldn't do a few days ago. Our local CBS affiliate, WCBI, Columbus, MS, burned out its transmission line over the weekend and has been off the air since sometime Saturday. So we've been...

    FCC DID IT AGAIN

    Since you live in Gulfport, what's wrong with getting New Orleans HD locals through E*?

    Roanoke HD Locals Tomorrow?

    That's about par for the course. From a definite launch date of April 23 to sometime in the summer. It isn't even being referred to as "soon". Maybe by this time next year we'll see something.

    Lost locals till reboot

    Happens to me every couple or three weeks on my 622. Been doing that for two years no matter what software level has been running. Gotten used to doing the soft reboot when needed.

    OTA Antenna Mounted on Dish 500 or Mast

    I'm not sure how far you are from the stations you want to get, but here's what's working for me about 30 miles from the transmitters of my five basic networks (all of which are in different directions). When I had my Dish system installed 2 years ago, I contracted with my installer to set...

    WPCH HD - Peachtree TV to launch

    Thanks again, John, for the detailed reply. I guess the writing is on the wall and its going to have to be a subscription to Comcast or D* this spring to be able to catch the games. What a messed up series of circumstances.

    WPCH HD - Peachtree TV to launch

    OK...confused again and back to square 1. I forgot about the exclusivity thing and blackouts. Therein lies the rub. How can it be that a local station that only transmits to the Atlanta DMA has the exclusive right to carry Braves games in a territory that stretches from the Mississippi River to...

    WPCH HD - Peachtree TV to launch

    John, Thanks for the explanation. During all of the debates on this topic last year, I don't think anybody had a good explanation as to exactly who's to blame for this mess. It's not surprising that its a combination of both Charlie's and MLB's intransigence concerning monetary issues.

    WPCH HD - Peachtree TV to launch

    Just to be clear before someone comes on and says its illegal to show WPCH outside of the Atlanta DMA, yeah, we understand that. All we're asking E* to do is to negotiate with WPCH just like D* did, just like Comcast cable did, and like several other providers in the southeast in Braves...

    129 Signal Strength

    You're in good shape. Those are exactly my levels and until you get a hard rain, you'll be fine on 129. (I'm just over the state line to the west of you.) From what I've read on here, the 40 - 50 signal I get on 129 is one of the best in the country. Your signal strength meter decrease after...

    Why do you subscribe to locals? (Old)

    For the guide info only and recording more than 2 locals at once even if that means using one or more of the horrible SD feeds I get around here.
