    I will try that..... I did not have any issues with that in before a couple weeks ago, so something changed.... Again, not very much of an issue, just something is not quite right.
  2. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have a VIP 222K and noticed the same issue with the OTA channels. The receiver is located at both NY and FL at different times of the year. As a result, OTA stations from both locations loaded into the receiver. I set up different guides with the applicable OTA stations to use depending on...

    Just to clarify, the satellites mentioned above are the Western satellite arc (1000.2 antenna). If you live on or near the east coast, you might do better with the Eastern satellite arc (61.5, 72.7 and 77) and the 1000.4 antenna. I think I have the antenna id correct, but not sure.....

    Thank you for the update....
  5. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    I still have the VIP222K with an occasional problem specified above. Assuming that the intermittent problem gets no worse, it is not worth the hassle to me to make the change. I was just wondering if anyone if anyone had put back the HD and made it work as a DVR. Just curious.....
  6. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    I am not familiar with the VIP722K. I wonder if this 'replacement' would work again as a DVR if I replaced the missing hard drive? is it possible to plug in a hard drive to the receiver?
  7. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    My VIP222K still fails with the same HD issue "sometimes".... It is irritating, but not enough to attempt replacing or upgrading yet. We have had this receiver for the past 6 years or so. I guess it is getting OLD. I now also get intermittent problems with the VHF (Ch 12) from the outside...

    If you have an Apple Iphone or Ipad, there is an app called 'Dish Align' that is extremely helpful finding a place to place the dish to avoid trees and such. I do not know if an Android device also has this App or not. Dish Align on the App Store You just select the satellite you want and the...
  9. Local Reception
    I got a Rotater on my roof antenna that I got years ago. Works well when I want to pick up signals from another city. Here is an example of what I am talking about. TV Antenna Rotator System with Remote Control-Channel Master CM 9521A (CM9521A) This would avoid having to climb the tower to...

    I see this change as an attempt by DISH to show customers how much that the 'greedy' local networks are costing them. When the locals want more money for the channels they broadcast for FREE, they are hoping the the customers will support DISH fighting the increased costs.
  11. ViP211(411)/211K/222 Support Forum
    I also have the VIP 222K receiver. I have a similar problem that I have not been able to isolate to the TV or DISH receiver. If I turn off the TV, and a bit later turn it back on, the screen will repeatedly blank off and on the with the same DISH HD channel as was on when I initially turned...
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    So far the signal has not decreased at all. I have noticed that I am getting more signal outages this past month that in the past, but, we are getting a lot more 'wet' snow this season than we have in the past also. As soon as I wipe the slush off the dish, the signal returns to normal. Given...

    I have a 1000.4 DP Plus Dish antenna (Eastern Arc) on my VIP 222K receiver. I was up on the roof clearing some snow off the dish when I noticed that the plastic cover over the dual LNB on the antenna is cracked and broken. I have found a couple sources that sell the entire LNBF. It looks like...
  14. DIRECTV Tips and Resources
    I had a problem using the RF #2 remote on my DISH receiver from the opposite end of the house. There is a little antenna on the back of the receiver for the remote. I ended up running a coax cable from that remote antenna receiver input to a point about half way to where I wanted to use it...

    I would not put much weight on the story that DISH has lost customers recently. DISH has been in a cost dispute with Tribune concerning the price they wanted to increase for the local stations they had. It affected quite a few cities where some local stations were cut off. It lasted a few...

    Several sources say Sept 23rd. But, in reality, it might be the 25th by the time they get all the programs ready to stream on the net....
  17. DISH™ OTA Support and Discussion Forum
    In my area CBS (Channel 12) has been blocked out. But, I have a roof top antenna and get the same channel (Channel 12.1) from the antenna through the OTA Adapter. The program guide is still there for Channel 12.1. No problems.
  18. General DISH™ Discussion
    This is a fight that DISH has a hard time coming out ahead. If they submit to outrageous carry charges from the stations, everyone complains loudly that the monthly DISH bill increases are TOO MUCH... If they fight these stations and drop the stations until they lower their charges, people...
  19. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hmmmm.... I already get EPIX ($7/mo). I wonder how they will deal with that? Reduce my bill for one month?
