I thought the AT9 sidecar dish had to have the 110/119 lnbs attached to work (at least for guide data). The only one that can go without is the new 3lnb slimline that just sees 99/101/103, unless I'm mistaking. I think they used to be that...

Sorry I been sick lately and not been active here. But now I am well but I am off to Southern Capital of the U.S. aka as Atlanta. So I dont know how much I be on during the following days but I did not want to think that I am ignoring any of you.

I called in last night for the first...

Never tried that, since if its on the local you're usually at the mercy of the local channels whims. I do know that if the local station cuts away from a game, that it ends up getting turned on on the ST channel. Never timed it to see if its instant, a few minutes later or whenever someone notices and pushes a button. But dont know about lack of local coverage on the front end. I always watch sports time delayed to avoid the commercials.

You are using only your TV's built-in speakers on all of your tests? I would try other cables, such as using the optical output as suggested by jtwex. Or perhaps a different HDMI cable. Have you tested your TV's HDMI inputs using other devices, like a DVD or Blu-Ray player? If those work properly then you've proven your TV's HDMI connector is working properly, and that the HDMI cable works (given you test the same cable).

Have a happy Turkey Day.

Well, things finally got straightened out after I sent an email to address posted a few messages back. Someone called me back, and they were extremely apologetic. It was kind of refreshing to talk to someone who did not appear to be reading from a script. The most amazing part was, even though three different CSRs told me that the recovery kit had been shipped to retrieve the old receiver, when I asked this person to check on it she said...

I am unsure of wich package we signed up for other than it being "the middle package" I am pretty sure its the $29 a month deal. I signed up here with a few questions myself. I have a healthy savings...
