    An open letter to the DIRT team at Satelliteguys

    Don't waste your breath, I have the same problem here in NH getting WMUR as a SV channel and the funny part is we had WMUR in 2006 and they took it away. Then they fixed the law so we could get WMUR and after begging and pleading with Dish Network thru the DIRT team we could never get a honest...

    Rumor Alert - Goodbye DISH Platinum... Hello Blockbuster Movie Pass!

    Scott is Dish discontinuing the Dish Platinum channels and replacing it with the DVD service? I'm confused. Are the channels going to be added to AT200 or 250?? Thanks Bob

    VIP 222K....

    I just had a tech come out to replace my bad VIP222 receiver with a 222k. When did they decide to do away with the S-Video out connection?? I used it on my old 222 and had great video on my Proscan analog TV. Also noticed that the 222k had changed the guide format so that I can't have just...

    Partial and Total signal loss message in error.

    Don't feel bad I get the same thing here on my VIP222. I have to do a hard reset at least 1-2 a week. Very annoying. Signal levels are fine, check switch is good. I'll bet it's a software glitch. My software in the 222 is 5.04

    Locals in Southern Vermont

    Now if they give all of NH subs WMUR like they used to in 2006 I'd be happy!! All of VT gets their VT channels. BRING BACK WMUR write the DIRT team and tell them you want WMUR back!!

    61.5 Signal Loss

    If you want the best signal strength possible and have the room use 3 separate Dish 300 for 61.5,72.7,77 with a multiswitch.

    722k going to "Partial Signal Loss" at random

    I have a similar problem with my VIP222. In my case I just have to change the channel and intermittently the complete signal loss screen comes up and after about 1-2 min it'll switch to partial signal loss. Only a reset will fix this. I have to reset my 222 at least 1 once a week sometimes 3...

    WHUP615 Email/Calls from Dish for upgrade

    Not trying to be a killjoy but beware depending on the part of the country you're in you'll have much lower signal strengths with the EA dish and problems with premature rain/snow fade. I did the "upgrade" this past March and been having problems with rain/snow fade ever since. The Dish techs...

    Well it could be a separate issue. But I did'nt think so.

    Please add Significantly Viewed Stations Now

    Scott I thought they cleared that up and now it was legal for them to carry them again? At least that was the case for WMUR. They did it for WCAX in the 2 southern counties of VT. All we want is what we had back in 2006 and that is WMUR. It's our only source for NH news in the state.

    It's Official! Say Goodbye To The 1000.4 WA

    It would'nt surprise me if they stopped using 1000.4 for Eastern Arc as well because of the premature snow/rain fade issues especially in the Northeast.

    Before and after results here in NH after switching EA dish reflector with larger one from 500+ Dish

    I asked the tech which bird was he aligning with and he told me 61.5. As far as 77 is concerned there is nothing there for me but I'll take whatever I can get across the board. :)

    Before and after results here in NH after switching EA dish reflector with larger one from 500+ Dish

    Just thought I'd share my before and after results here. Thanks to TonyT at DIRT for getting me the 1K5 mod. Mod is using DISH 500+ mount and Arm from EA dish. The 500+ dish is larger than the EA dish. (my zip 03240) The mod took approx 20min and in talking with the tech (sub-contractor) he...

    Signal strength issue - 1000.4 EA

    This is a known issue in the Northeast with the EA dish. Lowest signals are on 77. I have the same original setup as you had and they "upgraded" me to EA dish and had problems with premature snow/rain fade. I have a tech out here 3 times since March and have even moved the dish in order to reach...

    922 remote antenna question for DIRT

    BTW you should have access to the service manual (NOT the owners manual) for the 922 in house at Dish that would have the parts list for that receiver including the antenna/connector you are looking for. Bob
