    Dish Sling

    ADVERTS 1
    I just got a new 722 receiver today and I would like to add it to my sling account (dish.sling.com)
    When I go to add a new receiver, the first page asks me to enter the last 10 digits of my box ID

    R00_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _

    The only problem is my box starts with R01 and not R00 so this doesnt work.
    WTH?

    Dish told me they are working on this problem, made 5 calls and finally found someone to admit it was their problem.
    I have an R01 receiver also. Just got it a week ago.

    I was told everything from it was my internet provider to I didn't have it connected correctly. At least someone else has the same problem...

    Did you try putting in the rest of the numbers after the R01?

    I am supposed to receive a replacement 722 tomorrow. Here's to hoping it either has R00 or they fix it real soon.

    email ceo @ dishnetwork.com (without the spaces) and tell them the problem. They seem to be the most helpful if anything can be done now.
