when dish wanted locals, I canceled dish. I could only get Omaha on dish. I like ktiv channel 4 on my rotor Antenna. so I am now streaming networks and watching locals Ota. I like it so far, chas

I thought I owned my equipment. vip222. and I get the 250 channels because the wife wants two hallmark channels, food, and hgtv. she hasn't watched any of the other movies in years. we pay 165 for phone, internet and 250 channels. social security check pays the bill but it takes a good...

that outage must have been when my wife was hollering at me about the hallmark Christmas channel. chas

no rain, hasn't rained in a couple of weeks. but channel is back on... hallmark has their Christmas week shows on and my wife took the tv away from me.... chas

it has a signal loss screen. I was able to use the menu, then guide to switch to channel 3, cbs and it is working. went back to 187 and signal loss screen again. what troubleshooting effort is next? chas

ran a new cable from dish to unit. problem solved. readings are 129 - 34, 110 - 59, 119 - 53. hopefully these signal strength reading are ok. thanks for the help. chas

dish took me through the testing. no signal on any satellite. dish is sending out tech on Saturday. chas

the satellite is not sending me signal or my receiver is bad or my dish is not pointed correctly. I checked all the connections and I can still get the ota channels. this happened several times for a minute in the last couple of days. now it is gone. when I check satellite signal with the...

that worked! I can go in the kitchen and still change channels. thanks, chas

I've lost 129, 119 and 110. I checked signal and 129 would come in at good signal and I switched to local channel 7 out of Omaha. then lost it. now I don't have anything except for my ota in the 211k unit. chas

I had to get a 21.1 ir/uhf pro from dish when one of my controllers was dead. so this is also a uhf controller? can I switch it from ir to uhf? will look at my manual and see if I can convert it. thanks. chas

ok, did some testing. night time, no apparent problems. 25' and no problems. then in daytime I put a piece of paper sticking out about 4 inches from the unit right under the sensor. that helps. we have hard wood floors and there may be a reflection from the floor competing with the direct...

the remote has to be about 10 feet or less before the main remote signal is received. the second remote for the second wireless channel does not have problems. I have tried cleaning the surface of the remote and the unit but that hasn't helped. I think it worked better before but it has...

when I go to fox news, they have a window with fox live on tv. however, when I click to see it, dish is not available. there are probably over a hundred cable companies listed but dish provides my internet and I can't get this live feed... maybe I am not looking for my correct feed? thanks, chas

appreciate the help and infor. thanks a bunch. so far the receiver hasn't locked up yet. I don't know if I mentioned this before but the second output never messes up. it may be that the hd is messing up but as long as it is working, its ok. not a problem for me anyway, its difficult to...

we have never used a dvr for tv other than occasional stuff and it has to no be hd to record. really don't need the record. so the vip222 and 722 are the only systems that have means to connect to ota? we are about 80 miles from Lincoln, Omaha and Sioux city. all those stations report the...

110 - 62 119 = 48 129 = 68

have you come up with anything yet? most important thing I need is to keep my local channels from the outside antenna. if there is another system that will take the plugin for ota, I would like that information. so far, it has not crashed since yesterday morning. and that was like 15 minutes...

now I feel real stupid. I had clicked on the name but didn't see 'start a conversation' because it was darker blue on a dark blue background. almost had to take off my glasses and get my nose right to the screen to see it..... thanks for the support. I wish I could give you two likes... chas

I can't figure out how to pm you. it used to be that I could put the cursor on the name and it would have a pm available. pm me and I will answer. just turned on the tv and it was out of sorts again. chas

I think I have checked it good. ventilation should be good. nothing is sitting on top of it on the shelf under the tv. I unplugged it several times and that doesn't change the results. sometimes it goes for a couple of days, sometimes it only lasts a couple of hours. sometimes the picture...

in the last three days the picture freezes but the sound continues normally. I reset with the red button in the front of the unit and after 5 minutes or so we have a normal picture again. is it time to buy a new unit? thanks, chas

thanks for the help. I took the dish out, mounted it temporarily, hooked up a 311 receiver and checked out the switch and then positioned it. worked fine. now I will test the vip211 to morrow. chas

I want to go to Lincoln, ne and receive the big ten network on my portable tv. I can take my vip211 receiver there but I don't know what dish to use for reception. I have a vip 500 dish available. will it work? thanks, chas

there are three reasons I had to go to 250. my wife wants hgtv and the two hallmark channels. I guess I could go to the smart pack and add hgtv but that would be complicated for me. money is not a problem as long as the problems go away. social security is great if you have no other bills...
