    Alexandria, LA locals changed sat uplink

    Just went through my Dish email folder, and I have nothing regarding the change. I am paperless, so I didn't miss a paper notice. I am not far from the Masonic Circle, so I guess it's time for a service call. I miss the uplink reports.

    The Uplink Report - September 2022

    North Platte, NE no SD only HD locals - KNOP, KPNE, KIIT, KHGI, KPNL SD channels should be on SD 119° 5sA07. The guide data no longer lists the SD channels. I am in an odd spot and don't get 110° 29s29 which is where the HD channels are.

    Eugene, OR - What spotbeams for SD ?

    Looking at the uplink activity report, it says SD channels, like KEVU, KMTRD are on the SD 119° 1sA21. If I look a the spot beam map for 119° beam A21 is pointing to Butte. I get that the HD are on 129° 14s10 which is central Oregon, but those two SD stations aren't on the 129°. What am I...

    RCA output on ViP211z - format/aspect ratio options

    Is the output on the 211z limited to letterbox? On an HD channel like ESPN, changes to aspect ratio have no effect (menu, 6, 7). Changes to format are only Normal, Zoom, Partial-Zoom (page down), which expand vertically, but center-cut the content. The HD format changes have no effect (page...

    FXX a la carte ends today

    Called again. There is an issue with programming on the Dish IT side. I imagine it only affects commercial accounts, so there must not be many of us. I have accounts in 2 different locations, with 120+ and neither of them work for FXX. All the other channels are working fine. Perhaps tomorrow.

    FXX a la carte ends today

    No, FXX is the new Fox station that airs The Simpsons 4 nights a week now, and other content. It is an a la carte channel on FiOS, I guess to recoup what they paid for The Simpsons. It has been about 12 hours since I called in to make the change, and FXX remains 'Not Authorized' error 013. I...

    FXX a la carte ends today

    If you only have a SmartPack with a la carte FXX you will loose the channel today, and need to upgrade to at least the 120+. It jumped my bill about $50, which seems steep. Whatever happened to grandfathering? Oh, and the RFD channel is not on 120+, so another $5 add-on to get back what we...

    Canadian Spot Beams?

    I am in the 'other Delaware' the state :-) I have been to Delaware, OH before though. Install is in Columbus, and it sounds like I will be fine. Glad they don't spot beam the locals, for that is what I need.

    Canadian Spot Beams?

    I plan to install a Shaw dish in Ohio, with the intention of getting Vancouver and Ontario. I have a great deal of experience with Dish and Direct spot beams, and decifering the madness with the help of this forum. What is the status of spot beam use by Shaw in Canada? I know I can get the...

    Echostar 16 at 61.5W

    OK, so I have read through all 66 pages of this thread, and thought I was all set. I am having troubles with a number of our office since the E16 changes. I will just speak of the Pittsburgh office now. I had been picking up WTAE, and the locals, from E12 61.5 Conus. I now should get them...

    Thanks, it all makes sense now I appreciate the outstanding response. Although not a n00b, I really didn't understand it before. Thank you for your help, my wife will have to rely on Tivo. Perhaps our son can reconnect the slingbox for her. thanks again...

    Dallas Spot Beam - 20?

    Perhaps I didn't understand the spot beams. I thought it was beam and service address dependant. The beam, transponder 20, really does only send NJ locals to where we are. When we are home, a different beam, picked up by transponder 20, actually recieves a different signal which contains...

    Dallas Spot Beam - 20?

    Greetings, I am spending a several weeks on the east coast for business. The house I am in has Direct via a 5LNB slimline with excellent signal. My question is I bought a Direct tuner, opened a new commercial account at the home office (they'll pay) but I can't get local Fox 4. I know, it...
