    Nexstar/Mission/White Knight dispute with DIRECTV

    How do reapply for more than one $10 credit? The promise website says one-time only and when I enter my email it says it's already been submitted.

    Momentary picture freeze

    This freezing problem has been happening on Turner Classic Movies for years. The only channel I see it on. Random picture freezes without any disturbance to audio. I posted about it ages ago but it was never fixed. Good luck.

    picture freezes on TCM HD?

    strength is 64 on xponder 10 sat 61.5 No problem on NBCSP or BBCA and they're also on 10. TCM HD is the only channel I see this with. A momentary sticking of the picture usually during action on screen. Audio not effected.

    picture freezes on TCM HD?

    Reviving this thread because the TCM freezeups have gotten annoying again. I mean they never really went away but seem more frequent recently and I guess I've just gotten fed up with seeing them. Is anyone from DISH reading the forums or do I have to contact them and jump through all the usual...

    Nexstar Media Group forces blackout of nearly 5.4 million DISH customers

    Am I the only one seeing these Brian Neylon Q&A segments with the audio out of sync?

    Mine were pulled a few minutes ago, right in the middle of the nightly news.

    picture freezes on TCM HD?

    I've been watching for the past hour and so far so good. Maybe it's been fixed. If it starts freezing again I'll be back.

    picture freezes on TCM HD?

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I checked this afternoon and while it's much better than last night I did see two picture freezes during the 20 minutes I was watching. No disruption to audio just a very quick sticking of the picture for a fraction of a second then back to normal. When I...

    picture freezes on TCM HD?

    Strength is locked with a steady 62-63. Weather not a factor. It's gotten really bad since yesterday. Strange that it seems to be limited to this one channel TCM HD (sat 61.5 transponder 10). BBC America 135 and NBC Sports 159 use the same and I'm not seeing any problems there.

    picture freezes on TCM HD?

    For weeks now I've been getting random brief picture freeze-ups on Turner Classic Movies (HD). I haven't seen it on the SD channel. The signal strength on my 722 shows 60. It's hard to believe it's an issue on my end with this being the only channel glitching. Any other TCM viewers having this...

    Comet Hd

    To repeat what others have said about MeTV. It would be nice to see an improvement from the squished image it currently gets. I'd also like to see "Decades" channel added. Lots of great retro content on there.

    722k stuck on fast forward

    Does F-FWD stop as soon as you disconnect the antenna or do you need to disconnect the antenna then stop it using the IR remote?

    722k stuck on fast forward

    Might have tried this already but what happens if there are no batteries in any of the UHF remotes while the antenna is still attached? Does this allow regular use of the receiver with the IR remote with no F-FWD prob? Weird because 300x requires multiple key presses not just holding the...

    722k stuck on fast forward

    I'd try it under Dual Mode, see if the problem is with just one tuner or find the UHF remote and assuming a button isn't stuck, change the address to a different number to rule out interference.

    Local CPTV "Spirit" ch 6 needs guide update

    My Connecticut Dish channel 6 "CPTV Spirit" is still showing the same guide data from regular PBS. Any chance it will be updated with correct listings? Many thanks.

    10-foot C-band dish

    Great find. I really like reading the posts of these old dish discoveries & rescues. Any unexpected problems taking it apart? How heavy are each of those quarter sections? Did you cut the pole or dig it up?

    Audio dropouts on CT locals

    Reluctant to post in case I jinx it but so far today the channels have sounded fine. Hoping it's been fixed whatever it was. Thanks very much. :)

    Audio dropouts on CT locals

    Hello, Audio drops out on locals every few minutes. WFSB, WVIT, WTNH, PBS. This has been happening for about a week now. OTA reception has no problem. My signal on 61.5 has been steady high 50's as usual. Channels on other birds are fine. 722k DVR. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.

    seeing signal loss screen but no interference?

    Ever since late last night everything's been fine. Before I posted yesterday I checked the OTA and both tuners on the 722 were set to the same channel when the problem occurred. I ran the test in system info, box A came up GOOD. Under details there were about 10 lines with 11-12-11 11-22-11 on...

    seeing signal loss screen but no interference?

    Just today I've started seeing the full "partial signal loss" error screen while watching CNN and HLN. It's happened about a dozen times today but as soon as I press GUIDE the channel is instantly back and when I skip back there is no pixelation or sign of interference. I have a steady signal...

    Lost signal on some channels

    Just the one 722k receiver. I unplugged it but there's no change and it seems those channels won't tune in at all now. The switch test gives me an error. Something about no longer getting all satellites and if I save I will lose channels. I'm starting to think there's been some malfunction. I...

    Lost signal on some channels

    I have a 722k and in the past 24 hours I've been having trouble with certain channels like HLN, TCM, BBCA, AMC, TRU, G4, ID. I was changing channels and the usual lost signal message popped up. There were a few times when the channel tuned in but I would see some pixelation. It's a nice day out...

    Headline News (HLN) audio problem?

    In the last few days I've noticed the sound fluctuating on the HD version of HLN. Is this a Dish problem or has anyone noticed it on other systems? Thanks.

    getting HD next week - couple of questions

    So I'm making the switch to HD. I currently have one 522 in the living room and I want to keep a dual tuner DVR but also add a single HD tuner (non-dvr) receiver for upstairs. The Dish has a dual lnb with both cables running into the 522. - Will the installer need to run additional cables...
