    I want to use the OTA device as a hedge against Gannett loss. Hope Dish releases it soon enough to mitigate the loss of my local channels.

    I will support dish in any dispute with the content providers. Go Charlie!
  3. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have the 200 package, and FoxNews in HD appeared at least a week ago. Not sure when it happened, but it's there.

    The more cynical part of me thinks Dish is implementing it because D* already has it. Regardless the reason, I have already signed up on the dishonline website and look forward to using this feature often. Hope it comes soon.

    This is on my 722 receivers. Quite an annoyance. I got these at the same time... perhaps new batteries in the remotes may help.

    I live in Arkansas, and will rarely see my signal go out with an approaching thunderstorm. Not every storm causes a loss, which is interesting. Like Mr. Long, I had cable before Dish, and experienced many more outages, for longer periods. I have considered installing a larger reflector, and...

    This problem started only recently, and happens on two different receiver/remotes, so I am wondering if it is a software bug. When looking thru the channel guide, I press the up and down remote buttons to look thru channels and programming. Now, when doing that, it will throw up the INFO...

    Dish requires customers to connect their DVR to a phone line (or internet) and charge $5 per month if you don't do it. I learned here that by getting the right CSR, that fee can be waived. So if you don't have wireline phone service, or the ability to connect to the internet, you may want to...

    I viewed the ad and found it interesting. I like to keep up with new features and products that are available to me, and I don't mind getting the ad if it does not happen too regularly.
  10. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    I have two VIP722 receivers, and want to add a third HD TV. There is only one HDMI slot on each 722 receiver, and it is in use. Can I connect to the RCA connectors on one 722 receiver and get simultaneous HD pictures on two TV sets? I understand I will be watching the same show on two TV...

    My TLC recording of Little People Big World shows this week skipped ahead repeatedly. I switched from DVR playback to live, and saw the same thing happening on TLC. Hope they can get this fixed soon.
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have been a happy Dish Network subscriber for about 6 years now. I have received excellent service, programming I can afford, and there is no way I would ever go back to those low-life maggots at DirecTV (Whoops! it just slipped out)

    This repeats an earlier post, but if your receiver cannot read the new smartcard (Error 19), look carefully at the gold connector to see if any part of it is covered by the clear tape used to stick the card to the paper. Remove the tape and the card should work.

    My programming started almost immediately upon completion of the reboot. They will say it may take up to 20 minutes, but all my receivers came up quickly.
  15. General DISH™ Discussion
    Today I tried to insert new smartcards in my two VIP722 receivers. One worked, the other gave an Error 19, which means the smartcard is not installed properly. After many retries, I found that by looking VERY closely, I could see the clear tape that was used to hold the smartcard onto the...

    I'm with James on this one... I miss Tim Russert too.

    Let me put in my order for Little Rock locals....
  18. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I would like to have FoxNews in HD on Dish. It's not just about talking heads... even, lord knows, it's mostly that and commercials. It's about some of the other stories they present with news video. Having said that, I wonder if the news footage they present would be in HD.... Hmmm.... My...
  19. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I have refrained from jumping into the Fox vs CNN vs MSNBC discussion per Mr. Long's request early on, but since he has decided to provide editorial content, I will provide mine. Fox can truthfully declare itself "fair and balanced" when it is compared to the other networks. I have watched...
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    Waxing the front surface of the dish should not affect its performance, and I doubt there is any potential for damage to the LNB. How about attaching a "heat tape" to the back of your dish? Not sure if it would work, but they are thermostatically controlled to come on near freezing...
