    FoxSportsNet North in HD...

    Question... I live in SE WI and have Milwaukee locals using Dish Network. Currently, on my non HD TV, I receive Brewers games on an alternate channel when the games are being played. Otherwise FSN North is Minnesota programming. This year many Brewers games will be broadcast in HD, and FSN...

    New to HDTV....

    Hi all... Have a relative who's looking to subscribe to Dish HDTV. He's currently a Charter cable subscriber (We're in WI). Charter advertises that with their HD system, you'll get locals in HD (where available). Is that the same with DISH? We get Milwaukee locals with the local channel...

    625: Channels changing on their own...

    What's funny is they're probably freaking out themselves! I kept thinking my dog was laying on a remote. I kicked her off the couch like 5 times! The UHF remotes are touchy enough the way it is. I didn't think it was this bad.

    625: Channels changing on their own...

    I know someone just got Dish installed about 4 or 5 houses down. Probably no more than 200 yards. That is so weird if that's it. Just started noticing it in the last week. Right about the time they got it installed. I'll try it after work. Thanks.

    625: Channels changing on their own...

    I know this was questioned before. I couldn't find it. I'm experiencing weirdness on my 625 where the channels change on their own. Anyone have an explanation or a fix? It's almost like I'm watching someone else's TV. I can see the numbers punching in and everything. My dog or daughter are...

    Video Stalling...

    Actually, no. I've noticed it on the 625. Haven't watched enough on my other tvs hooked to the 322 to notice anything.

    Video Stalling...

    I'm noticing quite a bit of video stalling lately. Where the audio keeps going but the video is skipping. It was raining pretty good at one point but it even kept doing it after it stopped. I did "bump" the dish the other day when I was mowing. I really didn't think I hit it that hard at all...

    How to Program remotes...

    A long story but at one point my receiver was in a remote location. I have since moved it on top of the tv but never set up the "1" remote to work. I was using the "2" remote in UHF mode. This "2 remote was causing havoc with my other dual receiver's 2nd tv. The 2 "2" remotes were set to the...

    How to Program remotes...

    How can I re-program my remotes for a different receiver? Or program a "1" remote to work with the box? The installers did not do this for me. I have both outputs of my 625 going to one tv. The "2" remote works but I want to use the "1" remote so I don't have problems with my other tvs.

    Consider them terminated. Thanks guys.

    625 DVR question...

    Got it set up the way I want. I have both outputs (TV1 and TV2) going to my big screen tv. I used dish pass to set up recordings for when I'm not home. The recordings overlapped in time so it seemed to tape one on 1 and the other on 2. Now, when trying to view the recordings, I'm only able to...

    E Club Satellite Service Plan...

    I just got a bill for this. Called Dish and they said it's totally separate from the Dish Home Protection Plan, which I also signed up for. I don't remember signing up for the E Club thing. Is there any reason for paying for both? Or for that matter, either? Just wondering what you guys...

    625 DVR question...

    When I set it up to record and when it recorded, it was in dual mode. I've tried switching modes to access it, both without success.

    625 DVR question...

    I have a 625 and currently I just have 1 coax going out to TV1. I have nothing going out to TV2. I recorded something using Dish Pass. I set it to record off of TV2 (just in case I was home and wanted to watch something else). Well, I checked and it's not showing up in the "My Recordings"...

    Dish Cable Box question...

    That's a good idea actually. I was just worried that it wasn't supposed to be outside. I called Dish tech support and they said it's a normal location and should be fine.

    Dish Cable Box question...

    I just had an builder friend of mine come over to help with a wall fish. He's also a Dish sub and questioned why the metal box where all the wires from the dish was attached to the dish, which is on a pole in my lawn. He said his is in his house and out of the elements. Is this ok to have it...

    Dns Installation What's Really Free?

    I was just told a couple days ago by an installer (from a Dish Network hub) that he would not do any wall fishes. He stated liability reasons. Honestly I probably wouldn't expect or want them to do it anyway. I'd rather have someone I know and trust do it.

    Install is complete (sort of)...

    1) They're coming back next week so I'll probably just have them rewire to get the best signal possible. That should make them happy. 2) Let's see if I get this. This is how I can get PIP: a) Hook the 2 coax outputs (tv1 and tv2) from 625 directly to tv. (uses built-PIP: will work on tv that...

    Install is complete (sort of)...

    First of all, I wanted to thank everyone here for all the help they've given me. Being a lifelong cable subscriber, I'm VERY naive about the ins and outs of satellite systems and really appreciate the help. I've been disappointed with the installers so far in that both have been itchy about...

    Programming question...

    One more question. If the above is all possible, I'll have the 625 controlling 1 TV. Will I still be able to record one show and watch another?

    Programming question...

    Can I do that if the receiver is in a remote location? There's a dual feed to the 625, then a single coaxial feed to the TV with PIP.

    Programming question...

    So I'm assuming I still need to have the box at the TV where I have the PIP capabilities? Can I send the two feeds from the 625 to the same tv and use the PIP with a UHF remote? My house is finished off so it's kinda tough.

    Programming question...

    Forgive me, I'm acronym challenged. I'm assuming you mean you would have done anything to get the receivers next to the tv?

    Programming question...

    Well, I got Dish installed yesterday. Have some questions. 1) I live in southeastern Wisconsin and absolute NEED to have FoxSportsNet North (Brewer fan). I was told originally that if I got the 60 plus Locals package that FSNN would be available to me since Milwaukee is considered my "local"...

    Installation question...

    Not sure of the rating of the cable. I didn't realize it's fed over the same coaxial system. I should be ok. I just didn't want them to have to drill more holes or anything. If they need to use a better quality cable, that's fine I guess.
