    No signal on 942 but good signal on 311?!

    Yep, tried that no change. A Dish tech told me to check connecting block grounds, that failed to solve problem. At this point I think I might just call to "Dish up" a vip622 to replace the lease 942 and put in my purchased 942 to replace Dishes 311. I just wonder way some channels make through...

    No signal on 942 but good signal on 311?!

    Lately the signal on the theater room 942 would drop off and try to aquire it again with no success. Playing with some I could get it to lock on some channels but not others. Thinking it a possible cable issue I swapped the 942 out with the 311 in the bedroom, which had not had the problem. The...

    Any word on VIP 222. Any betas out there?

    The operating manual is on the tech portal. Why so little talk about this model? It would seem as though this one could eliminate the fees for any extra receivers, usually standard definition models. Let all who know tell. Thanks

    Activation for new 942 if I return the leased one?

    So Dish will activate my new 942 for HD if I return the leased one? And would they possibly install a dish aimed at 61.5 then into the open dp+ lnb input, instead of just upgrading me to the 1000? I've heard the 129 can be unreliable. And also I've looked for a vip222 with no luck, can I lease...

    Activation for new 942 if I return the leased one?

    I want the Voom hd channels but Dish won't put them on my leased 942, which I got it in may of 2005. So if I have them install a 211 would they activate a new 942 that I purchased to replace the leased one? I want to at least use the 942 to record OTA programs. And what type of switch would I...

    Can an existing sub lease a 942

    I left Dish for voOm on 1/7/05. Called back to check their offer vs. Direct when voOm went dead. Was told nothing for me because I was a near current customer formerly on the Digital Home Plan, "but wait we bought voOm so hold please". I was connected to a CSR specialist who very cordially...

    E* reupped voom cust. w/ 921 for $249

    DucTape guess what? I called Dish to add a 2nd basic receiver I forgot about at the time and the CSR said that I was scheduled to get a 942 not 921. So I don't need the second box anyway. I've heard so much negative about the 921. I'm assuming that this is good news,right?

    I was told by a vOOm cs that the antenna upgrade I need, because my closest tower is 40 miles away, would need to be done on a separate service call. I have spoken briefly with the installer and he didnt give me much of an answer, other than to say not to get my hopes up to receive much of a...
