    It was a tough decision

    Thursday afternoon the local cable is going back in for my TV service. Not many complaints about my 2 years on Dish. Local RSN HD full time would have been nice as would have been the Disney ABC stuff in HD. I got on board too early to get Hopper and since I wasn't a new customer anymore, Dish...

    OK, so WHO is lying?

    I'm getting in on this one late in the game so if someone has made this point, sorry, I didn't have time to go through the whole thread. The point that I always point out in these situations is really simple. The broadcaster sees the retransmission fees as a cash cow and feels that the...

    The Dodgers are going the way of the Lakers starting in 2014

    DTV picked up the Lakers games quite a while ago. It leaves Dish as the only major carrier without.

    Sacrament Kings Basketball On Which Channel?

    Why bother? They haven't even updated that information on their own web site for the past 6 years. They want out of that town so bad, they probably don't even have a TV contract this year.

    211k - is there a noticeable lag between HDMI and composite outputs?

    There IS a difference but it is so small that you won't notice.

    Dish / Gannett Dispute Settled! No Channel Removals!

    Another greedy broadcaster that will soon realize how much money they are losing once they are off Dish that can't possibly be made up from the increased fees they were asking for. Let Gannett throw their little tantrum and it won't be long before they come crawling back to the court with their...

    DISH BRING TIME WARNER SPORTS NETWORK FOR SO. CAL CUSTOMERS.

    Write directly to Jerry Buss of the Lakers. Remind him that your eyes are not seeing his games but the Clippers look really good in HD this year on Prime Ticket!

    DNS in HD

    You can get a pretty good semi hd on their website ktla.com otherwise out of market I think you're out of luck.

    Receiver formatting?!

    Sounds like a hard drive glitch. Probably fixed itself in the process but if it happens again call and get a replacement.

    MASN2 Question (Uplink Related?)

    I did have Vin Scully doing a bit more radio like pbp while it was happening. You can be grateful for Joe Angel on your radio side too. He's one of the really good ones. Try this one on for size. Last year the Angels radio guy lost his voice with no time to get a replacement. They simulcast...

    MASN2 Question (Uplink Related?)

    FYI, MASN and MASN2 HD are moved to different transponders almost daily. They share with most of the MLB team's RSNs a limited group of transponders that are reassigned depending on the day's MLB schedules. Sept 12, the O's were home so I can't be certain but it could have been the feed from...

    How Can I Stop Blockbuster@home From Sending Me DVD's?

    Exactly. If they try to collect, report to your local postmaster. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Postal Inspector. They will make it clear to Dish/Blockbuster that they are out of luck. Those discs belong to you. No Charge!

    SD Resolution?

    480x480 would be 1:1 aspect ratio, it's 4:3. Whatever = 4:3 aspect with 480 lines is it! I'm not that good at math.

    NBC-25 in Flint Mi video and audio out of sync

    Jim5506 is correct, but also contact the engineering department at the station. There are digital flags to keep the audio and video in sync and they could be getting dropped anywhere including when they leave the station on the way to Dish. It could also be in your receiver. But the station and...

    The view in HD?

    But it is recorded and re-fed by ABC at 10 AM PT. It would be if it was recorded by the individual station that the recording delay issue would kick in. It could still be a station issue. The only market in CA that I can think of w/Brighthouse is Bakersfield and those stations run on less than...

    Dish Remote Access/Dishonline problems with latest firefox

    McAfee runs very smooth theses days. Norton was also famous as a memory hog but I have heard they have greatly improved too.

    My advantage now is that the McAfee is still free, with my internet service.

    Dish Remote Access/Dishonline problems with latest firefox

    It was the freebie provided with Time Warner Cable internet service. They changed to McAfee and so did I. The ironic thing about this issue was that most everything played OK from Dish Online EXCEPT anything that was sourced by Epix. That's probably 2/3 of the material available. Once McAfee...

    Dish Remote Access/Dishonline problems with latest firefox

    I had a similar issue with an embedded Windows Media Player on a site, it sounds like this is similar. Opening a new tab would allow everything to start. I also had a problem with Dish online on all browsers a while back. The cure? Changed anti-virus software.

    Losing Program Guide Info in late afternoons

    You're right on schedule. Except for the glitch about 2 days ago, in the middle of the night, I have been perfect. Like I've said before I have no idea why it may have worked but all indications are it did work for me, and so far for you too. Let us know if you have any repeat issues. It will be...

    Losing Program Guide Info in late afternoons

    Acknowledged, I was simply reporting what appears to have worked for me and suggested others try. I have NO IDEA why it worked, it just did.

    DISH may drop the CBS affiliate for the Huntington/Charlston WV market June 30 or July 1

    Yes and no. It's been known to be done. A customer wants a specific set of locals or a regional sports channel so he tells Dish he's moving to new address where those channels are available. "No tech visit needed, he can move his equipment and set it up himself." Dish reprograms his account and...

    DISH may drop the CBS affiliate for the Huntington/Charlston WV market June 30 or July 1

    Manual timers operate by time and channel. They should be OK. Just to be sure, your old timers were set up on the OTA channel -01, not the Dish -00? Your description "There was nothing to record" would suggest being set to record the now missing Dish -00 channel, not the OTA.

    DISH may drop the CBS affiliate for the Huntington/Charlston WV market June 30 or July 1

    I believe that the timers that were already set before the guide data went away will go via time and channel. Times after the data that was present before the data went away will need manual.
