    Question... Now that you have had your Hopper

    Had mine since day 1. 1. Love PTAT and Auto Hop. Also the ability to view ALL recordings from any room. 2 & 3.Had a rough install. Tech just wasn't trained well. Took him all day and still had no connection to internet because he connected Ethernet cable to a Joey instead of a Hopper. A few...

    OTA Program Guide on Dish Receiver

    Ok, here goes. I have previously contacted Dish, the station, and Tribune to no avail. Dish blames the station, the station blames Dish, and Tribune never replied to my e-mail. KXVA Fox 15 Abilene, TX Shows incorrect guide information. I think it is showing CW guide information.

    Ordering an MT2 OTA module...need some info

    I got mine for free, but it was because the CSR made a mistake when I ordered the receiver. My bill shows a charge and credit for both the tuner and shipping, so I am assuming that you must pay for both.

    Wow stupid People

    Indeed. I was just trying to help the OP by sharing my story. That's all. I guess I should have just ignored the background noise.

    Wow stupid People

    I think you may be going a bit far with your analogy. I do not expect the installer to set my favorites list, or hook up my phone line and turn on caller id, or ethernet cable, or surround sound, or set my DVR timers. Maybe you do have a point though. What SHOULD customers expect from a new...

    Wow stupid People

    Where in my post did you read that I was slandering anyone? I didn't call anyone an idiot. Reminds me of a funny saying, "When you make assumptions, you make an ass out of yourself." I was simply trying to provide a possible explanation for these types of issues. No, I didn't see the installer...

    Which HD channel would you prefer to be added?

    Yes, that would be ideal. Just change all the SD channels to HD and get rid of the double coverage. I'm sure the SD subscribers wouldn't even notice or care. I have often wondered why they are taking up so much room with two versions of each channel. It's just stupid.

    Wow stupid People

    Maybe installers just aren't used to setting up HD yet. I know that's hard to believe. When I got HD 3 years ago, my installer left the receiver set to 4x3 480i. I probably wouldn't have known if I wasn't curious enough to check all the settings myself. Then, two weeks ago, another installer...

    Dish running adult PPV ads on E!

    I think this is bad, period. Although teenage boys should not be up that late, some are. I can remember when I was a young teen, we had one of those big dishes. I used to enjoy surfing the hundreds of channels before anything was scrambled. One night I found the playboy channel (was MUCH milder...

    KXVA-HD Guide Problems

    Did that this morning. No luck. On the upside, maybe they will fix the OTA guide data for KXVA when they fix this.

    Not to beat a dead horse....Turbo HD Bronze

    Just do what I did and switch to the classic version of your package with HD. I fought the idea of doing that at first, but I feel pretty good about it now. Just remember that you are getting more than just 3 or 4 HD channels, you are getting some good SD channels too. In my case, Speed, FX...

    San Angelo Texas FOX OTA guide

    I have also sent several e-mails to Dishquality about KXVA guide data being wrong. They didn't even bother to respond to my last e-mail. I guess they are too busy dealing with the complaints from people in the Turbo packages. You could try to e-mail KXVA through thier website, but it has never...

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

    I think the new CSR chat system is just too flawed to really help. I have used it a couple of times and not been satisfied yet. I equate it to calling and getting a CSR from India. They usually do not understand you, and just quote lines from a call sheet. I would suggest calling until you...

    Fox HD heavy drop out/pixalization?

    I have problem with my local Fox too, but it's not Dish. The OTA version is just as crappy.

    622 # 4, coming soon

    I was going though 622's like candy too. I'm on my third one now. Thanks to advice from people on here, I got a USB laptop cooling fan for $12.00; and now I am trouble-free for over a year.

    CMDY ?? is it a preview week for it?

    Once again, I apologize for my pessimism; but us Turbo subscibers should not get too excited yet. Just because we get the SD version, does not mean we will get the HD version. Dish already set that example with Fox News. I don't really want Fox News, but I switched to Turbo for HD channels, not SD.

    New HD Tomorrow

    I hate to say it, but us Turbo customers may get stuck with the SD versions while everyone else gets HD. (See all the many, many threads on Fox News HD)

    3 Free Months HBO/ Starz

    I wouldn't recommend that anyone chat with a csr. I have done this three times so far and each time, they were both rude and unhelpful. I would say just make the change yourself on the new my account site.

    Bait and Switch for Local HD Channels???

    They should come move your dish, or install a second dish for free if you sign a new 2-year commitment. That's what they did for me.

    OTA Electronic Program Guide

    I am having the "digital service" problem with my Fox station, KXVA 15 Abilene, TX. Customer Service seemed clueless, so I will try the dishquality e-mail. Thanks!

    Need real OTA Programming Guide info

    I am experiencing the same problem. I have a 622 reciever. The only digital signal I can recieve is KXVA 15 (Fox Abilene, TX). All I get is "digital service" in the guide. I subscribe to HD locals, so I know that I should get the guide information. It had been this way since the station went...

    3 Oklahoma City TV stations pulling the plug today

    Well, they did switch the analog signal off. KXVA on Dish is now just a purple screen. I wonder how long it will take for Dish to get the digital feed? I do get KXVA OTA, but the signal is weak (60's) and drops out often.

    Abbreviated Guide Info

    My biggest problem was the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox. They changed it to Connor Chonicles, and the timer missed it. I only found it because of a post someone made here.

    Abbreviated Guide Info

    Please complain about Guide abbreviations! I know there was a thread about this somewhere, I just couldn't find it. Sorry. Anyway, I sent an e-mail to Dish complaining about the programming guide abbreviations and this was the response: Thank you for your email. I do apologize for the...
