Have dish net work

First, ensure your tv is using the highest resolution possible (Usually 1080 for flat screens) by using an HDMI cable from the receiver to the television, and that you are on the correct input. Second, ensure your tv is not sizing the video by using the 'picture size' or 'aspect' or 'ratio' key on the remote that came with your tv (Not your DISH remote). Third, tune your DISH receiver (with your DISH remote) to an HD channel (for VIP model receivers, when you tune the channel to an HD channel, an opaque white 'HD' appears insude the blue box at the top of the screen). Fourth, hit the star key on the remote, while watching the screen. On the right hand side, near the top, it will cycle as you hit repeatedly the star key, the style of screen widening. Hit the key as often as you need to make the screen appear the way you want it to. The receiver will remember your setting for all HD channels. When finished with the HD channel, tune your receiver (with your DISH remote) to a SD channel (any channel in the guide that does not have the HD icon). Repeat the fourth step.

For Hopper/Joey family receivers, hit menu, settings, screen size. Follow the instructions to resize your screen to match your preference. When finished, repeat step four above on each an HD and a SD channel.

If your Sky Plus box is not allowing you to record one channel while watching another and is displaying a "no signal" error, there could be a few potential causes for this issue:

Insufficient signal strength: Make sure that your Sky Plus box is connected to the satellite dish correctly and that the dish is pointing in the correct direction. Weak signal strength can prevent the box from tuning in to channels properly.

Dish misalignment: If your dish is not properly aligned, it may not be able to pick up a signal from the satellite. You can try adjusting the dish yourself or contact a professional to align it for you.

Technical problem with the box: There may be a technical problem with your Sky Plus box that is preventing it from recording and watching different channels at the same time. This can be caused by a hardware malfunction or a software issue.

Subscription issue: Make sure you have the appropriate subscription package that allows you to record and watch different channels at the same time.

Box is full: If your hard disk is full, the sky+ box may not be able to record or watch another channel.

It would be best to check all the above points, if the problem persists, contact Sky customer service for further assistance.
Why is my Sky saying no signal on some channels?

Faulty Satellite Cable
There are all sorts of things that can cause a cable to become faulty like age, condition, and whether it's damaged and weathering/ water ingress. To fix- A new coaxial cable or two new coaxial cables may need to be installed for Sky+ boxes and Sky Q boxes.

it could be that your scrolling the channels and ports for your dish network menu and not your tv menu if your using a remote try changing the setting via the tv itself, also try disconnecting the dish network supply then try try using the net gear stuff, personally I would say get the new x-box one system because it has blue-ray capabilities, stream music and videos, movies, it has Netflix and hulu and all that stuff that your computer and phones can do now including video chat, voice recognition, hands free movements recognition and yeah it just does everything... hope this helps

It all depends on how your dish cable is connected to your television. The possibilities I can think of would be by composite cables (not HD)--these cables are the yellow red and white combo. It could also be component--the video cables are the blue, green and red. The other possibility is a single HDMI cable which looks like a rectangle and delivers both the video and the sound from the cable source to the T.V. as one cord. Depending on which of these you are using to output the signal from the cable box to the T.V. will determine which "source" you should select when trying to watch tv. Hope this helps!

Press menu-6-1-3. Now select details and scroll all the way to the end. If any value has a number greater than a single digit the box will definitely need to be replaced. I can not explain why the issue would have started after the smart card was installed other than coincidence.
I hope this assists you and thanks for using Fix Ya.

if you have set top box ,go to main menu ,check on restore factory settings ,put in default password 0000 and press ok,restarting the set top box automatically,waiting for some minutes.

restarting starts scanning all channels one by one and put them on their respective location in channel store.

now ,enjoy with all channels.

same process is done with tv if u have't any set top box ,only RF input from ur cable operator.

I should be channel 3 or 4. This assumes that this coax cable is coming out as a TV R.F. connection of a Dish Network Box (Satellite Receiver) intended for direct connection to an old fashioned NTSC (channels 2-13, 14-83, possibly even has cable channels depending on how old?) TV.

If this coax is the output of a coax going directly to the Satellite Dish or through what might might look to you like some kind of fancy splitter (called a Multi-Switch) the you WOULD NOT want to hook that to your old NTSC tv. The frequency is too high ... etc. etc... you would need Dish Box (as you call it) a.k.a. a Satellite receiver - with a good and active satellite card from your provider.

Do you have an antenna hooked up? You'll need one hooked to your converter box because the digital signal is so much more difficult to tune in to. This may help:

www.antennaweb.org

If you live closer than 15 miles, rabbit ears
If you live closer than 20 miles, omnidirectional
If you live closer than 50 miles, midrange outdoor (oldschool arial w/ rotator)
Further than 80 miles, you'll need a long range with rotator, perhaps even an amplifier to go with it. Print off what your results were on antenna web and bring it to a RadioShack or a local antenna store and they should be able to point you to the right antenna for your particular location.

boomergal, do you have satelite cable or directv or dish?

I had the same problem (a flashing HDMI 1 text box in the upper left hand corner of the screen every +/- 10 seconds) and rebooting the cable box seemed to help. I'd previously tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables, but wasn't successful. I assume my problem originates with Time Warner Cable.
