    Statement from DISH - Not Getting the New HD?

    I have a 61.5/110/118.7/119 setup. would it be possible to swing the 61.5 (500) to get 72 and thus the new HD and retain all my programming in the pittsburgh DMA ? If this is not possible what are the options EA?

    Live Retailer Chat Recap - October 16, 2008

    Does the renaming of the EHD to "my media" have anything to do with the sling tie in as the new sling catcher has a streaming feature also cunningly titled "my media" ??

    Did my DPP44 die

    Well tried all suggestions except for the home run from dish to receiver and no success, one additional thing I noticed this evening when in the check switch screen it does say under status is says reception verified but nothing under the switch section. I don't know if this is any help...

    Did my DPP44 die

    Thanks Webby I'll take a look this evening and see if I can get at the diplexers outside, just out of curiosity how much do diplexors tend to cost? I have a service call under Dish Home Protection in for Thursday however I am willing cancel and do a bit of DIY if it doesn't get too expensive :)

    Did my DPP44 die

    Would a bad diplexor provide a snowy picture on TV2? Prior to running the checkswitch after reattaching the equipment and realizing there was a problem, I had picture on TV2 (MSNBC if I remember) it was terribly static/snowy (not very technical I know) looking.

    Did my DPP44 die

    Thanks jpmarto, would bypassing the seperator (if it is bad) solve this? I know that it is a no-no to by pass the power inserter but 'can' it be done for the sake of trouble shooting..... Again I am running only one receiver (two tuners, vip622 in dual).

    Did my DPP44 die

    not a dumb question as I have been known to be dumb before.... I am assuming that it is and will verify in the morning, the reason I am assuming is that it worked prior to disconnecting....

    Did my DPP44 die

    Vegas Thanks for the reply, I see a green light on the power block for the power inserter, I have checked and double checked the power inserter is hooked up correctly with the switch input one going to the switch and the receiver is running to the receiver. I do not see a light on the inserter...

    EchoStar launching Sling Modem ?

    Why is this in the DISH forum??? This should be in the gadget forum.... DISH and Echostar have been split It is an Echostar/Sling product not a DISH product, they will be selling it cable companies, and hopefully end users who wish to buy their own modems and not rent..... If it is able to...

    Team Summit: General Assembly Notes

    Wouldn't a "sling" enabled box negate the need for some kind of remote scheduling site as you could activate the slingplayer and set up the scheduling that way..... or Now if they were really smart (somewhat of an oxymoron for DISH) they would have the the remote scheduling built directly into...

    Team Summit: General Assembly Notes

    I am sure the will find some way of charging per instance of software or limit it in the same manner as current sling software one connection per device, Dish never misses a chance to nickle and dime you. That being said this does make the 722s very desirable and this should be available right...

    Dish DLNA?

    This could be a real hit, if they can get this off the ground they would have a great value added feature...... However saying that it is more than likely to have an enabling fee and not arrive till 2010 when someone else is already doing something better. Did anyone get more information on...

    Free Showtime for 3 months - YMMV

    Someone help me with this one, Did they credit this upfront (3 months on the bill)? then if you cancel prior to the 3month they charge you back for the credit, reason I ask is I can't figure out if my bill is correct this is the only thing that would make sense. Seems a stupid way to do it why...

    More on Dish HDCP

    DMCA was one of the most consumer unfriendly bills to come around in a long time, DRM is killing fair use rights, itunes protected content can't be used by the program of my choosing, give me a break. This is the same thing, they will back door this by starting with HBO, PPV, Showtime etc. then...
