I think I may benefit from moving to Eastern ARC - my locals are SD on 110 but HD on 77 - Does it cost anything or require contract to switch ARCs ?

I am in the Southeast - should I ask about moving to Eastern ARC ?

Maybe a DIRT person will make me a special offer ?

Sorry - typo - actually it is a 612 How do you buy / activate a 211k apart from Dish ?

Eight years ago, I started with 501,301,301 A few years ago I added HD and got upgraded to 622,211K but had to keep 301 as they said they would only swap 2 receivers in a contract. So now I am REALLY sick of the 301 - and I wonder what is the best way to get another 211K (or equivalent) ...

Hmm - I had no idea - I have talked to Dish fairly recently and they said HD just was not available for Macon. I must confess I do not know what Dish I have - but I do have a 612 DVR and 211K with eHDD - both HD I guess I could ask them again, but I do get good OTA reception.

Now if you would just carry the locals in HD.... ?

Dish and the local FOX and ABC stations finally settled the fee dispute - just in time for the Super Bowl - imagine that ! :)

Mine does not - it gets stuck at the "searching for satellite" screen

I hate that you cannot change to an OTA channel if you lose the satellites during rain...

Channels gone - Happy New Year

I just wish that I could get it without the Auto-Pay...

That is interesting - I guess margins are tight all around. I am very fortunate that I can get strong local HD OTA.

Local paper quotes the same old story - both sides blame the other, station owners say Dish will not pay, Dish says station owners want many times the going rate. This is getting old - just a few more days until dark.

Local paper here says that on Jan 1 we will lose local FOX and ABC due to Dish dispute. They are lousy SD channels anyway, because HD is not carried. I am lucky because I can easily pick up HD locals OTA but due to terrain many cannot. Direct and Cable are big players here as they both...

oh gee my bad - I did not know that they did updates multiple times during prime-time television - 3AM would be a big improvement

My 612 randomly reboots itself - makes some whirring noise like a helicopter. Really sucks but I cannot make it happen on command so I cannot prove to Dish it is bad. Only 5 more months in contract !

grb - you read my mind - I was thinking the same thing. I have an a 612 which is fine - but I also have an old 301 which I would love to replace with a 211k but there is no way I would sign for another 24

I is really not very hard to reattach the plug / replace the plug - any thoughts of doing that ?

Dish only carries lousy SD versions of my locals so I have had to use OTA to get decent TV anyway. They can yank my FOX - it sucks anyway. I do miss the RSNs during college football season...

Me too - I was polite and the CSR seemed almost sarcastic - he would not "elevate" the call because he said nobody would care. I got nothing

I told them the same thing - they would not budge

Are you an Autopay customer ? they told me they could not give me anything because I was not Autopay. I do not see what one thing has to do with another.

Dish would not give me crap - I would have liked to have 3 months of Starz - how did you swing that ?

It is the weekend man - they do not have time to talk - they are busy on their yachts
