    OTA signal loss on one channel only?

    Try switching outputs on your splitter. Maybe it has a problem. Try an inline amplifier. It will help boost any minor problems in the cable runs. Remember the less splitters and connectors the better. Every connection or splitter is a 3 db loss of signal.

    Cancelling Service and Setting up Service with Different Name

    When I moved from Florida a few years ago my account was in my wife's name. We had put the account on hold paying a small fee per month. When I had dish installed in my new house I wanted HD and was told I was an existing customer and would not get new sub discounts. I opened an account in my...

    Queston On Lines In Picture

    In a tube set, this is usually the green tube or gun shorting out. Eventually the picture will end up with a green tint that you cannot adjust out if this is the case. Hope this is not your problem.

    Please don't shoot...just asking for opinions and...

    One important point. Although the LNB and mount is plastic, there is a hard wire(cable) going directly from the LNB possibly through a switch to the receiver. Grounding can at times stop a lighting hit. It happened at my brothers house. The cables were melted to the grounding block and it...

    The reason Dish lost a customer today.

    This is the most ridiculous reason I have heard. If I were to put all the reasons in this reply why Dish needs the owners permission, this post would be two pages long. There are legal responsibilities that bind Dish to the owner of the house and that is not you!!!

    Loss of Even Numbered 119 Transponders

    The Dish repair guy came yesterday. He did not hesitate, he changed the DPP Twin LNB. He said he has been changing a few of these lately due to high temp failure. I will see how it operates after it has been baking in the sun for a few days. After he put the new LNB on I was able to get all...

    Dish won't ship 622 unless installer ...

    Can I offer you some cheese to go with that wine. Just kidding. I went through the same thing. I have done board level repair for 20 yrs, but no I did not posses the skills to unscrew a few cables and make a phone call either. I just bit the bullet and let the tech swap out the receiver.

    Loss of Even Numbered 119 Transponders

    I also am loosing the even TPs on 119. I live in Louisiana and it has been plenty hot. Mine started a week ago and I thought it was probably caused by sun spots as it was usually in the afternoon. It is now getting worse - more TPs going out. They will still work late at night or in the morning...

    OTA HD Picture Size Question

    Must have a 16X9 set to watch widescreen HD Hope this helps. If you have a newer HD-ready TV set with component video inputs (marked "RGB" or "YPbPr") or digital (DVI) inputs, you'll be able to watch all DTV formats. However, you won't be able to watch true widescreen TV unless your TV set...

    vip622 certain channels dont quite fit screen?????

    Check TV Manual You may want to check in the Users Manual for the TV. I have a Hitachi 50" LCD. I am pretty sure it has the ability to adjust the position of the picture on the screen thru the setup menu on the TV. I have never had to use this but the TV has the option.

    Dish 622 - $99 Upgrade Details

    $99 Install Charge Will there be any credit on the $99 install fee if I prefer to install myself? I have all satellites needed so mine should be a simple swap of the 942 reciever and activate.
