    Here is a thought. Take the good offer from Dish and get a blasted ota antenna put up. I personally don't think KOMO is a good enough reason to switch services after 10 years.

    Like Puck said, your options for single cable installations would require you to change your switch to dish pro plus version. From what you describe though, you should have open space on your switch. Get your hands dirty and run another line.

    Yeah, if you want turbohdbronze, you will have to kick the 3x1 model. Really is no way around it. Although to be honest... I don't know why anyone would want to have the hd only package. Really isnt that much extra to get all of those lovely sd channels too.

    Hmm, you figured you would have noticed.... 100 sounds nothing like EVERYTHING. I find it kind of hard to think that you didnt realize you had 300+ some channels. Also... adding the program guide is actually a pain. It is not something that can be done accidentally at all. Literally...

    If you really want the hd quality picture on that third tv NOW, then yeah it is worth doing to buy the 211 and get the ehd and have that activated. You won't get quite the versatility of another 612 though. I'd really find a way to do that and just stick with paying the 5.98 a month dvr fee...

    It technically can, but not the way you are thinking. You need 2 different ehd activations to be paid to dish at 39.99 each. And you can swap between them, but not without formatting. So the long answer is yes. The short relevant answer is no. If you have the ehd authorization for your...

    Yes... and these are all the plans and packages that did not go up one penny. Nothing on this list increased in price this year.

    If you are really curious on the single wiring solutions or why they work, check out the info on bandstacking / translating.

    Indeed Dc voltage gets carried to the lnb to keep it fired up.

    211 isn't bad at all. Works wonderfully in most cases with the ehd, and shelling out the initial money for the ehd activation and buying the hd itself may save you some cash vs. Dvr fees over an extended time period.

    Odds of your problems being software related are very low. I'd bet the farm its hardware related in nature as others have said. Your timers not firing could be a result of your epg being crap(elaborate?) Your picture problems could be multiple things. I'm curious by your statement that the...

    Reread the email. Likely the one you are talking about described the packages that WEREN'T going up. AT100 and all went up, as did the HD packages.

    Do you use it in single or in dual mode ooc? If single I would blame the port or the separator. Even if some people are against it, I like to run the check switch and see if the sat in 2 is having issues. Lot of times I'll see Input 1 pass the test and Input 2 failing worse than Vanilla Ice.

    That was my first thought. Sounded like a manual timer with the record 5 min after option set. The only other possibility was the incorrect epg info. Otherwise, there is no reason it would record the show correctly but stop at normal timing instead of the extra hour.

    I'm curious about a couple things James. How long since you changes your setup to EA? Have you had any software update delays since then. And really my big question, is have you made any programming additions or subtractions since you modified your setup to EA? I usually see that if the...

    The k models generally have a few extra features above their standard model, but generally share the fact that the ota port is not built into the receiver. You have to buy an additional piece to install if you so choose.

    Hmm, not to sound offensive but I would look a little closer at your billing. After you end the six month promo period you are going to be looking at a size more than 72.00. The cheapest price you would be getting would be with DishDVR Advantage. If you truly have 3 HD dvrs and not an HD dvr...

    You have anything in the area that might fire up at that exact time and cause a drop in your signal strength due to interference? Because as others have already suggested, you do currently have your update timer changed and are on your second receive, right? And don't lose signal on said...

    If you have only HD, then yes you have TurboGold. If you have SD and HD and Have a Gold package, you have AT250, or it may be tagged as AT200 with 250 bonus pack, for purposes of the dvr advantage bundling price.

    Hi, Perhaps I can shed a little light. I'm currently a TSR for Dish Network. Which means I'm a glorified customer service representative that mostly handles technical problems. The Obama channel is not an endorsement by Dish. Anyone with any business sense, or a clear mind to think for 10...
