    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    For some reason there is an old 311 receiver listed on my account. Maybe that is why. I've called them to remove it, but they assure me it is deactivated. But, it is still listed.

    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    I have VIP receivers and Eastern Arc, but I have a wing dish on 118.7 for international channels. I am getting the loss of locals warning/equipment upgrade for Charleston/Huntington WV locals. But since I am on Eastern Arc already, I should be good right? Isn't the HD feed for those on 61.5?

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    It’s my fault. I’m sorry. I was trying to get at the point that HBO probably doesn’t care if Dish gets them back or not. Between Directv and HBO now, AT&T can eventually recoup a lot of their subs by pushing them to delivery systems that they own. So either Dish agrees to a deal that...

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    I know this is immediately affecting satellite customers on Dish, but I think this is the beginnings of the net neutrality struggle. There is a reason that internet providers are gobbling up content providers and delivery systems. AT&T buys DirecTV and Time Warner. Comcast buys Universal/NBC...

    CBS stations return to DISH

    http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-deadline-looms-cbs-dish-network-20141120-story.html I guess only one major dispute at a time. Looks like contract deadline is extended for now.

    DISH Makes offer to buy Sprint (Rescinded)

    Having worked for Cingular during that time, it went down like this: Cingular was owned 60 percent by what was then SBC and 40 percent Bellsouth. AT&T wireless was a spinoff of what was then AT&T, but was no longer owned by AT&T. It was a stand alone company. AT&T wireless was bought...

    DISH may drop the CBS affiliate for the Huntington/Charlston WV market June 30 or July 1

    I wasn't sure if WYMT was in the Lexington market or not. The area where I am is close to three different DMA's. I know WYMT is not on the bird, but their parent station, WKYT is and the same owner owns the NBC affiliate in Huntington WV. WSAZ. It would be not too difficult to throw it up...

    DISH may drop the CBS affiliate for the Huntington/Charlston WV market June 30 or July 1

    I wonder if WYMT in Hazard, KY is considered Huntington/Charleston, WV or Lexington, KY. Maybe they could replace WOWK with WYMT. Maybe that would get WOWK's attention.

    What config for EA with 118.7?

    Here is my problem. My HD locals are the Huntington Charleston, WV market which are on EA only. I also need some international programming on 118.7. What dish config do I need to accomlish this? I know I need 1000.4 and an fss lnb for 118.7. How to get the 118.7 alone and add it to the 1000.4?

    Lots of Dish Dead!

    It is the time of year for sunfade. When the dish, the satellite and the sun are in direct alignment. Depending on which link, the feed to dish network, the uplink from dish network, or the link to your dish from the satellite could be having the sunfade problem. If the pribkem goes away after a...

    Eastern Arc and snow

    This may sound crazy, but, if you can reach your dish, try spraying on a light coat of non-stick cooking spray. Then wipe off the excess. It repells moisture and tends to help the snow slide right off. I know it works with BUDs.

    OUTAGE: WVAH 11 and WCHS 8 Charleston WV Transmission Issue

    They seem to be back now. Maybe it had something to do with transponder changes on the new satellite at 129. That change for the Charleston WV market was in progress at about 2am. 3, 13, 11, 8, they were all out for me.

    Dish about to lose even MORE local channels

    My point is that cable and satellite should only charge for the cost of retransmission, not profit. Include locals with any basic package. If they only provide the signal within the local DMA, customers would get their locals, carriers would gain customers because they could provide locals for...

    Dish about to lose even MORE local channels

    All this LIL bickering between the local stations and the various providers (Disn, DirecTV, et all.), in my opinion is just crazy. Yep, it's just greed by the local stations. If the providers have "must carry" laws, then the local stations should have "must provide" laws. These stations are NOT...

    722 DVR playback lockups

    I'm having this problem with my 622. same software version. After the video freeze, I lose audio on TV2 which requires a reboot to get it back. Very frustrating, especially when i have to reboot while recording two shows. I just have to watch one of them with no sound until it finishes its...

    Frustrating Audio Problem with 622

    yeah. It doesn't happen every time, but usually if I'm recording something. If I just "rewind" without recording, it doesn't seem to happen as much.

    Frustrating Audio Problem with 622

    Ever since L511 and now L512, I can be watching a program while it records. Sometimes I'll be a few minutes behind the actual recording to skip through commercials. Eventually I lose video and audio for a few seconds. Then the video comes back, but no audio. I use my 622 in single mode and...

    Food HD now Mirrors SD

    For those that care...It seems that Food Network HD is now mirroring the SD channel. Non HD shows seem to be stretch-o-vision. But there is quite a bit of HD content.

    Slow Motion/Strobe Effect?

    I see this effect on HD channels on my 622. I have found that on some channels, depending on the program, it happens after the audio gets just ever so slightly out of sync. Then the audio would get choppy and the video would go into stobe/slow motion. Then the audio would be in sync again. I...

    Dish spamming my DVR

    Jeez...just 10 minutes....I've seen E* do this maybe a handfull of times since I've had a DVR. And I've had a DVR a LONG time. Let it record, then delete it. Lets all not get our collective underwear in a twist over a 10 minute recording in the wee hours in the morning. I would venture a guess...
