    FOX 16 Little Rock, AR (KLRT) Not Broadcasting HD

    Apparently KLRT lost their HD link from the studio to the transmitter during the stormy weather the first weekend in May. See the following link for information in several blogs: DXing From Lincoln County AR

    Dish Change Platinum !

    Dropped my Platinum Package several months ago and have never missed it. Terrible programming choices for a package that costs $10 per month IMHO.

    How to ask for an Eastern Arc upgrade?

    Dish changed me over to the Eastern Arc at my request several months ago when some of the local stations were only available in HD on 61.5. I called Dish Tech support in the evening and asked if it was possible to have an installer come out and install a 1000.4 dish. Had no problem getting...

    Smithsonian HD dropped and replaced with Crime & Investigation HD

    Called tonight and downgraded my subscription from Platinum to Gold. I didn't watch Smithsonian more than two or three times a week but enjoyed the programming they offered. Despite the addition of C&I HD, it no longer makes sense to pay extra for a package that offers channels of very little...

    Can a Dish 1000.2 system be re-aimed for eastern arc?

    The 1000.2 will not work with the Eastern Arc satellites. To stay with just one dish, I had the old dish replaced with a 1000.4. You'll receive everything that you did off the previous dish plus your local HD's.

    Little Rock HD Locals - Those Not Being Carried

    The Little Rock HD channels are being carried on the 77 satellite: You will need either an additional dish pointing to that satellite or a 1000.4 dish which replaces the 110, 119, & 129 with the Eastern Arc satellites. EKB: Dish Network Channels at 77° To get the HD channels just call Dish...

    sat.61.5,tp30-Garbage!

    My reading off TP30 on 61.5 is 43. I do receive some HD coming off TP22 on 61.5. These channels are coming in fine and have a signal strength of 41. Sounds like someone blacked out your reception of the game in Vermont, a situation I see here all the time with various sports events...

    Little Rock HD Locals - Those Not Being Carried

    Received the following e-mail response today from KARK (NBC): We have an agreement with Dish to carry the HD signal. I would guess they are working to get it on line soon. Thanks for watching. Thanks, Gayle Kiger VP & GM KARK-TV

    Little Rock HD Locals - Those Not Being Carried

    So the problem rests with the local stations and not Dish? As I see it, that's what we pay Dish the locals fee every month unless the locals are getting a little too greedy.

    Little Rock HD Locals - Those Not Being Carried

    As a long-time Dish HD subscriber, I was glad to see the CBS (KTHV) and ABC (KATV) affiliate stations go live about a month ago. They look great! Now the question is where is Fox (KLRT), CW (KASN), and NBC (KARK)? These all broadcast some HD programming. Don't know about WB (KWBF). Have been...

    Statement from Dish Network on Young Broadcasting Removal

    The local stations are advertiser supported so I really don't see why Dish should have to subsidize the stations anything. I'll bet a few calls to some of the major local advertisers would get the signal out on Dish in a hurry.

    Dish Bid to Extend HD Customers Contract

    Don't know if anyone else has had their original 18 month HD contract expire, but I got a call yesterday offering me 3 months of HBO & Starz for no charge if I would commit to another 20 months of Dish HD service. My response ... If they don't get busy and get the Little Rock locals uploaded...

    1080p VOD - Can we run the test free before geting charged?

    I have the same problem and have yet to see an answer. Setup is showing HDCP compliant so I should be good to go for the 1080p test.

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    I was turbo-charged with the new software revision on Monday morning, but I don't see "I Am Legend" or any HD movie to test the 1080P capability either. Am showing as HDCP compliant in the set-up screen information. Is there any other channel to run this test on besides 501?

    My mini review of I Am Legend 1080p

    My 622 was also upgraded this AM. Channel 501 is finally shown, but none of the offerings is "I Am Legend." In fact none of the channels shown for 501 is even HD. :confused:

    More on Dish HDCP

    I guess that DISH has forgotten that the HDMI output on the 622 produces an inferior picture compared to using component inputs for many users as documented on other threads. DISH will have to provide me with another receiver that will produce an acceptable HDMI HD picture. In addition I have...

    How long will you wait for DISH to deliver before switching to DirectTV

    My reason for going to DISH was that my zip code was eligible for the Little Rock locals, and that has never been the case with DirecTV despite numerous calls over the years. Since I can't receive these channels OTA, its either DISH or Suddenlink cable which is an absolute nightmare. If...

    622 HDMI picture dull compared to component

    I've had my Toshiba HDTV and 622 for over 6 months and always felt that the picture looked somewhat subdued, but I had been connected through the HDMI cable since day 1. Hooked up the component cables for the first time last night, and there is definitely an improvement in the picture quality...
