Excellent suggestions from rglore and DVRexpander. Following their suggestion, I checked the modulator ("Menu>system settings>installation>modulator setup" for those like me who did not know where to find such a thing) and confirmed for a second time that it was set to channel 3. I then went...

Thank you for the suggestion. The TV is set to the right channel and that is the same channel it was set to when it worked with the previous receiver. I checked both the cable and channel by hooking up the TV through the same cable to an old VCR (I guess all VCR's are old, these days) and...

I am installing a replacement VIP 612. I use both the HDMI and the RF (Coax cable) output. This dual output worked on the previous receiver (until the HDMI port broke after moving the TV). For some reason, I am not getting signal out of the RF port although both the HDMI and component...

Tampa8, thank you for the excellent advice: first set the page on the control so the HD and SD are at "normal". The setting instead was HD stretch, which of course led to the wide bodies on the actors. Then the other settings can be 1080 and 16:9. I had no clue. Give Tampa8 another star!

What actually happened: moving the receiver This is the update I promised about getting two sites with one receiver. This is to help naive users like me get up to speed faster. Thanks to the good advice from this forum, I asked Dish for an upgrade from Family Plan + Locals with an old...

Thanks to Bross and Garys, I called Dish Network. The agent confirmed that they do have a snowbird option. Here is what I think I heard. I will confirm when I do the move. For about $106 plus taxes plus a 2 year commitment plus one month of warranty service, I can -first upgrade my existing...

Thank you both for the speedy and clear replies. WWCody

I am a new member to this site but it looks as if it will be the right one to address some questions I have about using the Dish system. Here is the first one. Will a Dish model 4900 receiver work with a Dish 500 antenna (witb twin LNBF at 110 and 119) at a different site from where it is...
