Why do Dish techs lie?????

Do Dish Techs think everyone is a moron and will just take there word as the absolute truth? My 622 went out this morning you know the old "Acquiring satellite signal" thing so I went through the same routine we all go through reset, wait, check switch, wait, unplug, wait after about 5 or 6 times of this it is still searching for that magical satellite signal so I breakdown and call the dreaded 1-800 number explain all that I have done, tell them I used to install satellite dishes I am not an idiot They tell me that it is in the connection between my 622 and the dish and they will send someone out. Stupid me said ok and hung up. then I thought for a second my 322 works fine why not swap receivers and see what happens well the 322 works fine where the 622 was and the 622 still does not work in either location. Call dish back up too tell them so they can send a new receiver, here is where it gets funny they tell me that the cable from the 622 is different then the cable from the 322

I am stunned and ask her what she means, she said since the 622 is a HD receiver it has a different cable going to the dish. I said you have got to be kidding me do you really expect me to believe that? First of all my 622 receiver has not always been in this room my 322 used to be untill we had a pie burst in the wall got all of our carpet wet, got new carpet liked it better than the other room so I moved the bigscreen in here with the 622 took the 322 and the little TV to the other room everything has been working great that was almost a year ago and I did not run a "special" cable to the dish. Needless to say you can not win with these people they want to send there "Techs" out and look at it that will be next Wed. before they get here then they will find the same thing I did 622 dead and I will have to wait another week to get a new one. Why Why Why are we treated like stupid morons and lied to? is Direct this bad? sorry to rant but Dish just really pissed me off this morning and I needed to rant a little thanks for listening any one else had problems with them? (I know that is a stupid question)

Same problem.

Sorry to cut in here.

I was/am having a similar problem to that of the O.P.

My original set up included a Dish 1000 feeding into a VIP622 and a VIP211.
The problem manifested on the 622 which became stuck on screen 015 "Acquiring Satellite Signal" never making it past step 3 of 5, while the VIP211 worked perfectly. So like the O.P. I immediately assumed I had malfunctioning 622.

Called Dish, they walked me through the usual steps, everything checked out OK but still couldn't get past the 015 screen, the friendly tech told me he had to check with supervisor, after a while he came back on and had me run the checks again just to double check. No dice, still stuck on 015.

So they sent out a tech who, checked the dish, checked the cables, checked the receiver, ran check switch tests, checked connections, and eventually decided as a last measure to switch out the cable from the wall barrel to the dish itself, nope still stuck on 015.

The guy goes to his truck and brings in a new 622 and tells me he's going to replace mine because it's faulty. I ask him if it would be possible to just leave the unit with me or have dish send me one and have me hook it up because I need to transfer all my saved recordings from the old 622, nope he says they can't do that. So I tell him not to replace it and that I will call dish, so the guy just walks out the door and disappears while I sit there expecting him to leave a report of what he did.

I call and reschedule, get a new window for two days later. In the meantime I'm having a hard time getting the recorded stuff off the 622 due to a corrupted file. By the time the second tech shows up I still haven't finished transferring all the stuff out of it.

Second tech is more amicable and agrees to go ahead and install new 622 and leave the old one to give me enough time to transfer recorded stuff and send it in myself to DN. As it turns out he's fresh out of 622's because he's replaced a couple that same day, so he leaves me with a 722. Needless to say I'm happy about this and give the guy a tip and a big thank you before he leaves.

Cut forward to a day later (yesturday/monday) and low and behold the 722 is having the exact same problem as the 622 while the 211 is working perfectly.

Out of frustration I spend the better part of two hours searching various forums for someone with a similar problem. I come across various possibilities; big tree in LOS of the dish which has just exploded with foliage, I wore myself out trimming a good number of branches, I try to peak the dish to get better reception out of the 129 satellite as I'm in the low 40's, nothing works.

Finally defeated, I figure I'll give dish another call later today. As I wind down for bed I decide to do another search and come across the O.P.'s post and try out the same fix he did and reset the receiver to factory defaults and wham problem solved.

You guys think this problem might have something to do with the new software? L5.11, which I have on the new 722, not sure about the 622 will check and post here once done transferring stuff out of it.

Sorry about the long winded post.

ok..I see a few issues here.....First the tech cannot leave a receiver behind without activating it. And to activate it ,it must be installed. Second, we cannot leave behind the replaced unit because Dish will not pay us for the service call if we do not send back the bad unit.

Next..The signals you're getting off the 129 are not optimum but they are serviceable. That means you'll see little to any rain fade but the dish needs to be tweaked to pull the signals up a bit. However this is not the cause of your 62 /722 issue..Now in reading this I have narrowed this down a bit. If possible move a dual tuner receiver to the DVR location and see if the problem persists. If all is not well we are down to three things. The switch (DPP44) if you are viewing 4 orbital slots. The other issues could be the run pf cable from the ground to the receiver. Or it could be the ground block( not likley) itself.
Now if the receiver you moved works in the location in question, obviouisly the 622/722 is NG....

I've had nothing but good luck with techs. Whether they be Dish, Comcast, or Sprint. When I had my 522 upgraded to a 722 several months ago the tech and I found that my other 322 wasn't working properly. He replaced it on the spot. No hassle, no "It's not on the workorder so I can't do it" excuse. Just good service. Comcast was just out to install new internet (and I'm trying their TV service as well - to compare to Dish). Excellent workmanship on the install. Two days later a Comcast supervisor came out to make sure things were working for me and to verify the installation workmanship.

My Sprint fixed wireless tech was good too. So good that I haven't seem him in forever. The initial install has lasted over 8 years with no problems.

I have no complaints about Dish or Comcast or Sprint techs. None. I can tell you from experience, that you do have to play CSR roulette with Dish. And also with Comcast. And also with Sprint. That's just the way it is. I don't think they're lying. They're just ignorant about their product (ignorant is not a derogatory term, it just means "they don't know").

This is the right way to do things. I precall my customers and find out what is wrong with their system. If the notes state there is a problem wiht one of the two recivers( if applicable) I ask of the customer if this is accuarte. If the customer states otherwise, I will take the necessary equipment along with me.

"believe" and "fact" are entirely contradictory.

jeez wakeup nothing *ish does is a mistake !

"mistake" and "lie" are two different things.

Dish Network makes lots of mistakes (such as L510).

And by the way, the word "lie" is constantly misused these days.

A "lie" is when someone intentionally tells you something that is false. Human beings are contantly mistaken - that is not a "lie".

I've always thought of separators as basically being a component of the box. Then again, perhaps its because I believe it should be built in to the box on Port 1 and then just disabled when a satellite signal is detected on Port 2 as well.

Just a couple of weeks ago. Unranked Florida knocked off number 7 texas. Unranked Auburn beat number 1 Georgia.

Correct, you Do get upsets from time to time ....however .
You Don't get teams UPSETTING teams for 5 weeks in a row.

They are trying to make this Basketball and its a far cry from the way that is played.

How long till they go to 32 teams ? Then they will say, well, the NFL is 32 teams, we can make more money that way .... except the NFL is 32 teams, that are a set number of teams and divisions, you don't have that in College ... oh but they will try.

They would have to choose what teams they would want in and thats it.
Hopefully that NEVER happens.

I can see the NCAA going away and the CFP taking that portion over and a Collective Bargaining agreement coming in the not to distant future.

The problem with rankings and playoffs is that they are designed to hype the game and make money. Period.

The only reason that BYU and Texas Tech were upsets is that they were hyped up in the standings in the first place. I love watching BYU and Bear Bachmeier. They are a fun and talented team, but not nearly so strong, fast, big, and skilled as a true top ten team. Does anyone truly believe they could compete with the likes of Georgia, Ohio State, Indiana, Alabama, etc.? Yet, they were ranked above those teams.

Each year, there are 10 to 12 teams who truly could compete for the championship if it depended on winning more than one game in a playoff. Including teams like James Madison, Tulane, BYU, etc. in a playoff has nothing to do with determining a national champion. It's just about money.

But that wasn't what your stated argument was though.

I mean if you drag it out, no team even a favorite is gonna win every game 20 weeks in a row.

With the parity in college football now, who knows who can beat anyone at any given time?

This season and last have shown it might not be the ones we think that might win it all that will win it all.

What bothers me is the total waste of broadcasting spectrum in this very crowded market. It has been almost three years now since KFOX converted their broadcast tower to ATSC 3.0 and moved all of their channels to other towers causing noticeable degradation of the picture quality.
I have a Sony TV with 3.0 capabilities but still use the 1.0 version of locals due to the fact that one or all of the 3.0 channels are often missing or unwatchable. In this city of 800K I doubt that more than a few hundred even know about ATSC 3.0.
The only thing that could motivate me to be interested in 3.0 would be if all of the minor networks (diginets) could be in at least 720P rather than blurry ultra-compressed 480i.
Three years is long enough to waste one of the few available RF frequencies in the area for this trial.
It is time to either move on with this experiment or call it quits.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

IFixIt has published their Teardown and they had some positive things to say about the iPhone Duo. It still showed some dust ingress into the hinge assembly but seemed otherwise well-sealed.

But with a considerable number of reports of the main screen dying with similar failures, AppleCare+ should be a no-brainer for this phone.

Thought I was getting a Chorizo and egg burrito (marker had rubbed off)but was a roast beef/potato I made up before hunting this morning.
Btw every morning at camp I cooked my homemade Chorizo and scrambled eggs plus sausage side while my brother brought bacon. (they liked both the beef and pork versions)

I had a chorizo and egg burrito for you. With lots of green chile and cheese of course.
