BOHICA! :oops:

Thank you for the replies. I think we're ok unless one of the receivers dies.

We have VIP211K and a VIP222K receivers. Does anyone know the date that these will stop working? Will Dish replace these free-of-charge and without a new contract if they stop working because they either die or Dish turns them off? Sorry if the answer is somewhere else on this forum.

We have VIP 211K & 222K receivers which I know are old. When they die....

Great, pay more get less. And of course we're into the 'Contract negotiations' on some of the VERY FEW channels that we watch so they're not viewable. If only I could teach my wife to use the smart TV apps!!!

It is. Thank you very much!

My wife hopes you are successful! Thank you for your efforts.

Did DISH remove the local Weather channel that was on 213? It was there yesterday and not today. That is something that my wife uses everyday.

And don't forget to enjoy all of your extra money that you'll have, and also maybe less frustration :-).

I took my remote apart since it was deemed that my new remote was dead. When I did, a chuck of white stone like material fell out from the negative battery ‘coils’ that are up inside of the remote. I also noted what looked like scorch marks on the circuit board under each ‘coil’. The remote...

Sorry, but I don't they have anything in mind other than a sales pitch for a new contract which isn't my version of rectifying the situation. There are 4 remotes in the Dish store and one of them is out of stock. Would any of them work with the UHF section of a VIP222K? Probably not, so the...

Thank you for the reply. However I take it that the answer is that my remote is dead even though it doesn't even have finger prints on it. I confirmed that it was ordered late December 2019 from DISH and probably has less than an hours use on it :-(.

We have a remote in a room that is rarely used so I took the batteries out of the remote. When we had company but when I went to use the remote but not even the SAT/TV/DVD etc buttons will light up. I changed the batteries even though the old batteries checked good with a battery tester. It...

I bet peeing on it would work too! :eek Make sure you post it on You-Tube.

Thank for reminding me about the Winegard application. I had forgotten about them since my Ku FTA dish was set up a few years back. As it turns out it looks like we're going to be ok since the satellite is above the tree line, not by much mind you but above. The trees are pretty old so I don't...

yeah...at this point we may be leaving DishTV after 10+ years because when I look at that list nearly 100% of the channels we watch are on 61.5 and guess which satellite is behind a wall of trees that will have lots of leaves in the spring? Our only hope of staying with Dish is that the...

Thanks to all for the help. I need to go now, I see several people in white coats carrying a straight jacket. I think they're waiting for me..... hahaha heehee:imshocked :hiding

BTW, thank you for the answer. Even though it appears my dish is pointed at Nimig 5 at 72.7 which makes sense b/c it would have been the middle sat and LNB, 72 isn't on any of the option in the pointing screen no matter what system I choose. My equipment was installed in 2010 and the satellite...

Too late....They're coming to take me away, Haha, they're coming to take me away, Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha, To the funny farm Where Life is Beautiful all the time And I'll be happy to see Those Nice Young ladies In their Clean White Coats And they're coming to take me AWAY, HA HAAAAA

I have a problem of 3's that I'd to sort out for what sanity I have left. Originally there were 3 satellites on the the eastern arc, my dish has 3 LNBs, and the 3 TVs in the house can all be on different channels at the same time. So is it one LNB for each TV, or is it one LNB for each...

I don't have a hopper. Thank you for the test channel for 61.5. Is there a way to make the receiver tune to 72? Or, would that require repointing the dish?

My original problem was the box going through the entire boot sequence like happens after a power outage. The 'check switch' apparently has taken care of that problem. Now #5 needs more input. My dish has 3 LNBs. Am I correct in thinking that since there were three satellites for the eastern...

It seems to me that while was I was surfing I saw a channel on DishTV that showed a picture of a satellite dish and had some verbiage along the lines of "you are pointed at 61.5 .." Does anyone know what channel that is? (Eastern US). But then maybe saw it while surfing on my FTA...

What's a DMA? I don't follow the reference to 129 unless you're saying that's where all of the western arc HD channels are

Chainblu: done that! Hopefully it'll work but I wonder what spring will bring? 77 was the one that had the least amount of obstruction.
