Were commercial accounts blacked out as well? I stay in a lot of hotels where DISH is the "head end". Several bars/restaurants I have been to have DISH as well... One would think contracts are in place to guarantee channel availability for commercial accounts. A sports bar without ESPN would...

For the Polish TV Package the rep said "Adventure TV" and "Baby TV Polska" I believe...

Called DISH to get some answers. Correct, the letter is a legit DISH letter... They told me what is happening is some of these channels are now only going to be available via "IPLL" which is IP Live Linear delivery. This, of course, requires the receiver(s) (Hopper) be connected to a high...

A family member received this letter last week (attached)... Does anyone have any details on this? Family member has VIP211k's with a 110, 118, 119, 129 dish. They would like to keep using the 211k's because they are used to the easy to use basic interface and utilize the OTA tuner. I'm not...

The latest Yahoo! schedule says the OSU at Northwestern game (10/18) is on FS1. Unfortunately this dispute involves FS1 and BTN, so you are still out of luck...

You will not have to worry too much about missing a Buckeyes game on BTN... Because OSU is so successful and popular many games are on bigger networks (for example tonights game OSU @ Neb is on OTA ABC).

One option I would recommend is a grey market Canadian DBS subscription. The only caveat is you have to be in the sat footprint. BellTV is pretty good, it is almost identical to DISH (receiver, EPG, remote, etc.) Benefits of a BellTV sub: USA/CAN exchange rate is pretty good right now (has...

To my knowledge the data on the EHD is encrypted and can only be decrypted when connected to the VIP211 with the proper keys to decrypt/view the files. The content owners should not have a problem with copying the data from one device to another. "Question to you, why not you just use the 2T...

I recently upgraded my VIP211 EHD to a new 2TB Western Digital. The old 1TB EHD still has all the DISH data on it. I want to get all the recorded shows/movies transferred from my old 1TB EHD to my new 2TB EHD. After I connected my new 2TB EHD to the VIP211 and let in format I disconnected...

This problem is now FIXED!!! When performing a channel scan the WMOW channels now scan in with virtual channel 4 and load into the receiver properly. I am not sure if this was fixed on Dishnetwork's end or the OTA broadcasters end, it would be interesting to know what the problem was. Either...

Here is the response I got from the engineer at the TV station: We have had reports of somewhat similar problems in the past. Our experience tells us that the situation is probably caused by one of two things. To try to answer your questions I must first state a bit of history. In the days...

I have tried to obtain a DISH IR to UHF extender, but so far I have been unable to find one. I have also tried the Next Generation remote extender kit and discovered the battery only lasts about 1 month! One month for a remote battery is kind of ridiculous! Every time the remote would...

I have tried a hard reset of the VIP211k several times. I have a Winegard HD7698P connected to the 8VSB port on my 211k, so yes the HD7698P covers VHF RF channel 12. I am getting a signal strength of 86 from VHF RF channel 12 (see pictures above). The WAOW/WMOW engineer is on vacation until...

The engineer for WAOW/WMOW is on vacation until next week. I will try him when he gets back. I tried the scan with my Hauppauge USB ATSC/8VSB TV Tuner and I got: 12.1 WJFW-DT RF Channel 16 12.2 WJFW-DT RF Channel 16 4.1 WMOW-CW RF Channel 12 4.2 WMOW-DT RF Channel 12 4.3 THIS-TV...

WMOW is broadcast on RF channel 12 WJFW is broadcast on RF Channel 16 WJFW used to be RF channel 12 before with digital switch, that is why it comes up as virtual 12-1, 12-2. On the Zenith DTT901 digital converter box it scans RF channel 16 (WJFW) as 12-1, 12-2 (Same as DTVPal) and RF...

The 211k will not let you do a manual scan of channel 70, only goes to 69. RF ch 70 is out of the TV broadcast range (2-69, now 2-51). It's strange that the DTVPal adds a channel in as channel "70". RF TV channel 70 has not been in use for TV broadcasts since the early 1980's before cellular...

I am trying to scan in OTA RF channel 12, WMOW - Crandon, WI. WMOW transmits 1 main channel and 2 subchannels (3 total). When I try to manually add RF ch 12 on the 211k it comes in as ch "0" and will not add the channels to the guide so they can be viewed. When I try the scan with a DTVPal...

I installed the Skywalker brand "Choice Select" IR extender (CHO1020 IR Distribution, CHO1030 IR Target, CHO1024 Single IR Emitter) to control a DISH VIP211k. The setup works but the response is VERY sluggish. For example I have to press "GUIDE" on the 20.0 IR remote for 2+ seconds before I...

Tried powering up with no LNB, same result. Apparently these boxes are totally useless unless activated first. Also, found out the receiver is a leased receiver tied to another account, so there is no chance of Dish activating it for me. Sending back to the seller for a refund... I am...

Unplugged, waited 10 seconds, and plugged back in. When it boots up is goes to a screen saying "Connect Receiver to Ethernet or Phone" with a progress bar on the bottom. I tired hitting menu on the remote through the whole boot up process. No access to the receiver menus what so ever...

I picked up a ViP211k remanufactured receiver on eBay for $40.00 I want to use the receiver for dish pointing/tweaking purposes. Connected the receiver to a dish and it properly connected to the switch/LNBs and downloaded the updated firmware, etc. Now the receiver just stays stuck on Step...

Dear Sat Guys Forum, I am having problems with the 8VSB OTA tunner on Dish 811, Dish 211, and Dish 222 receivers in the Rhinelander/Wausau WI DMA. When I perform a scan with my Hauppauge WinTV USB tuner I get: 4.1 WMOW-CW RF Channel 12 4.2 WMOW-DT RF Channel 12 4.3 THIS-TV RF Channel 12 12.1...

The 61.5 changes were not good to me spotbeam wise. The old Green Bay, WI spotbeam had Green Bay and South Bend on it. Chicagoland was right in the middle. I had more signal than I knew what to do with (mid to high 80's) using a Dish 1000, single LNBF, and single rectangle to D-Tube adapter...

Old Dish 1000 Antenna Gain? Does anyone know the gain of the old Dish 1000 antenna? This is the antenna that came out in ~2005 for 110, 119, 129 using 1 dual and 1 single LNBF. I am using it for 61.5 only (1 LNBF). I use the single rectangle to D-Tube adapter DISHSTORE.NET used to sell so the...

Just curious, what kind of dish are you using to see 61.5 and 72.7 only? Hman
