    What happened? What birds should I be pointing to?

    I am in upstate NY. So you say all I need is 61.5 & 72? Why the heck is dish saying 110/119 & 125?

    What happened? What birds should I be pointing to?

    A few years ago, from what I can recall, there was a big change from 110/119 & 61.5 to 61.5 72 & 77. I had my installer come in and setup a Dish 1000 and he could only get 61.5 & 72; I knew I lost some channels but just never had the chance to follow up... The kids were not complaining and I...

    Repointed 61.5 to 129, lost HD Locals (NYC)

    I repointed 61.5 to 129 per all the hype, now all the HD Locals (New York City) are gone. Should I have added a 4th dish for 129 rather than repoint?

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    DirecTv is looking better and better. :rant: I called in yesterday; the best answer was that I would get the Platinum pack free for three months. I pay for TV, I watch FX all the time, but 10% off for three months is suposed to rectivy the problem. Looks like I am DirecTv bound.

    Receiver reported stolen after 4 months!

    Did you talk to the seller? I'd say there was a mix-up; what would he gain by reporting it stolen? If he is a jerk buy something cheap from the seller and then ream him on the rating.

    Harmony 688 Remote?

    I have had Harmony 860 (upstairs) and 1000 (living room) for a long time. The best feature is that my wife can operate the entire entrainment system by pushing one button on the Harmony... the only issue for me has been the amount of time to program the units with my multi-room single receiver...

    USB Hard Dive Error 860 w/ VIP 622

    I have been using a western digital MyBook for a number of years now with my VIP 622. Recently I noticed that I could not access the external drive and I performed power downs & reboots to no avail. I have seen some info on the 860 error but nothing conclusive. Is the WD External Hard Drive...

    Long component cable run to second TV

    I have a 100 foot run and used coax cable with RCA adapters at each end. Worked well. I cut the cable to the length I needed and didn't spend a lot.

    Charged for unordered PPV.

    I would contact your credit card company if you use a credit card to pay. Your credit card company is your representative, ask what options you have.

    Digital Sound and the 622

    ...well, I was hoping that I could get away from buying the optical cables. My understanding is that HDMI will work as well; but the whole DRM on HDMI blows. If I use HDMI on my 622 I cannot use my receiver to show the show in room 2. Darn law makers... theses guys 'protecting' an outdated...

    Digital Sound and the 622

    Newbie type question here, but do I need an optical cable to get digital sound out of my 622 and put into my surround sound receiver? I am using component and rca to get picture and sound from my 622 to my receiver. I do not use HDMI because of the DR limitations on multi room. When I...

    622 Crashes , SBSOD

    The value for HDD Smart Status is 255... god, I hate the idea of doing a swap. I lose everything on the unit that my son watches over and over again. Is E* doing anything to fix or should I just bite the bullet and swap? Now, if the external hard dive feature was just working...
