    NEW CHANNELS JUST WENT LIVE

    BETJ HD? What a joke While I like as many HD channels as possible, BETJ HD has to be some kind of joke. There seems to be nothing on it that is HD, or even interesting to watch. I would much rather Dish supplied everyone with the HD locals that they may still be missing instead of giving us...

    Fox News HD Up and Running

    Can't get Fox News Hd or Fox Business HD I just spent 1/2 hour on the phone with tec. support trying to get the Fox HD channels to work with no success. I was told that someone from Dish is going to call me back in an hour to see if they can't fix it. I was told that many other people are...

    Problems with Milwaukee HD locals

    I do have OTA that I can get Milwaukee and Green Bay with. Because I live so close to Lake Michigan I sometimes have problems with temperature inversions mixing up analog and digital signals. When that happens the OTA signal cuts out. I was counting on a more reliable signal from Dish.

    Problems with Milwaukee HD locals

    I live in Sheboygan, Wi. and get my HD locals from Milwaukee. "E" supplies us with ABC,NBC and FOX. We do not get CBS which is a disappointment for me because at least half of the network shows that I watch are on CBS. The problem that I am having with the locals is that they will start to...

    HD Local Additions

    I live in Sheboygan too, and find the HD locals from "E" don't always work right for me either. I am begging to think that this is a very poor provider. I have to have 2 dishes just to get the local HD channels that don't always work. "D" gets everything with just one dish. A friend of mine that...

    A question about 1080p PPV vs 1080i PPV

    I understand the difference between 1080i and 1080p. But does the 1080p PPV really look as good as a Blue-ray disk? Could the 1080i PPV look just as good as the 1080p PPV most of the time or is there really a big difference in the quality of the two?

    What happens to local SD stations on E in Feb.?

    I guess that I didn't ask the question right. Our CBS station will not let "E" carry the digital version of their station. Only the analog ("E" converts it to digital the same as they do all analog stations). So the question is that when there is no analog version of CBS being sent to "E" from...

    What happens to local SD stations on E in Feb.?

    I live in an area where "E" supplies all our locals in SD and ABC, NBC and FOX in HD. We do not get a HD feed for CBS here. In Feb. when all local stations go digital will we get all stations including CBS in HD or will there be no CBS for us at all (SD or HD)?

    Problem with OTA channels with DISH box

    I live in Sheboygan, and get Milwaukee HD locals with an OTA antenna too. The problem that I have with them is that temperature inversions will cause analog stations to get mixed up with the digital signal and the signal strengths will drop to 0 because the tuner can't figure out what to do...

    Recent pixelation on local ABC channels

    I have the same problem I live in the Milwaukee, Wi. market and have had the same problem with the HD locals here ever since Dish added them. We get NBC, ABC and Fox. All of them have pixelation problems. Some nights are worse than others. I have had my dish alignment checked twice and the...

    Cinemax cropping HD movies?

    I have noticed on all 3 of Cinemax's HD channels that some of the movies that they show are cropped so that they fill an entire 16X9 screen instead of showing black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. I have compared what they are showing to the same movies on DVD and the DVD has bars top...

    722 stuck trying to find satellite.

    I do subscribe to locals. And like I said, it is only my 722 that had this problem. My 211 (which is HD) and my standard DVR all worked fine. Also my TV doesn't have a Digital tuner so connecting the antenna there is not an option. Besides doing that would not let me DVR shows that I get OTA. If...

    722 stuck trying to find satellite.

    DallasBill Thanks for the link to your post. It solved my problem. I reset the unit to "Factory Defaults", did a soft reboot and everything is back to normal.

    Yes. I went through all the standard stuff with Dish Tech.

    722 stuck trying to find satellite.

    My 722 which I have had for only 2 months (a replacement for a bad 622) is stuck trying to find the satellites. It worked fine the day before. Was turned off at the end of the day (like Dish suggested). The next morning when I tried to watch TV all I could get was the screen "acquiring...

    Milwaukee, Wi HD locals. Anyone having troubles?

    I know about the tmj4-dt problem. I have OTA also. I use the Satellite HD Locals when I want to DVR shows. For some reason they keep pixelating. It's not constant, but just enough to get on my nerves.

    Milwaukee, Wi HD locals. Anyone having troubles?

    There are no trees and the signal strength is very strong and steady. It seemed to be a mystery to the installer why there would be any trouble.

    Milwaukee, Wi HD locals. Anyone having troubles?

    I had a Dish 500 installed so that I could get the Milwaukee HD locals. Since the installation I have had problems with the picture. It will pixelate and break up. sometimes so bad that you can't watch them. It doesn't matter which channel I am watching (NBC, ABC or Fox). I called tech. support...

    New Channel Discussions and Impressions

    5 StarMax movies are not in HD. What's with that. They dropped Voom Movies and gave us a HD station with all SD content. Doesn't make sense to me. Has anyone seen any HD on 5 StarMax?

    No HD Content on New HD channels!

    Dish finally came through with most all the HD that everyone was asking for. If you're not happy with this, then you probably will not be happy anywhere else. Instead of complaining that they don't show enough HD on their stations, why don't you just give it a while and see how much HD...

    The Thread For Those Cities Without All BIG 4 in HD

    It's correct that Milwaukee doesn't have CBS HD on "E", but "D" doesn't have it either. I would guess that it's the local CBS station that is the problem and not "D" or "E".

    Turn off SD locals for? to get 'em in HD?!

    I had the same thing happen to me when I ordered my HD Locals. They shut down my SD locals. I just called back and demanded to speak to a supervisor. After getting about 3 different people I finally got someone who could keep my SD Locals turned on and still schedule an appointment for my second...

    Scott it is April 30th, where is Dish's major HD?

    A rumor is nothing more than a rumor. No one, including Scott should post a rumor. All it does is get your hopes up and then let you down in the end. Why don't we just post facts and forget the rumors?
