Just to close the loop, the problems came at the same time the timers were lost. This morning though all was well :).

Mine just sh*t the bed as well. Timers are gone, cannot create any inc PrimeTime. I try to save, exit, go back in and it's like I never did any of it. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Oh to be bleeding edge - lol.

Just FYI: I just noticed tonight that when pressing the INFO button on the H3 remote the option to view the trailer and also the pictures and TV shows/movies that each cast member was going to appear in on Dish are both notoriously absent. I assume it's a software update and there were...

I currently have two original Hoppers with four joeys. I would like to upgrade to hws (Why would I upgrade both of them? I would assume I would only need to upgrade one of them but if a DIRT member could help clear this question up for me I would appreciate it). Regardless I am ready to make...

I spoke to a DIRT member, added my name to some type of 'non-standard list' (2 hopper and 5 joeys), was told to expect a call and nearly two weeks later I still haven't been called :(.

I'm reading that the Hopper/Joey system is maxed out at 6 (2 hoppers and 4 joeys). We currently have 7 HD receivers connected to 7 HD sets (with 1 HD DVR). Do we have any options to: a) Use a standalone Dish HD receiver for the 7th HDTV?; b) Purchase another joey on our own (or is 6 the...

So I would need to run either component cables or HDMI cables from the Hopper/Joey direct to the television then? Hmmm, the run is a decent distance from the closest television and I would have to find a way to then make that run through walls. Not sounding very viable :(.

It sounds like my existing Dish installation of 7 HD receivers (one of those being a DVR) will not work with even a two hopper and four Joey setup since the max is 6 total boxes which leaves my 7th HDTV out in the cold as you cannot mix any Vip receivers with the Hopper/Joey setup. Am I correct...

Thanks again everyone for the very helpful information.

Thanks! :)

But that would only make 6 receivers (2 hoppers/ 4 joeys) and we currently have 7. I am confused.

I have been reading the materials posted here but still haven't ran across our particular configuration so thought I would ask what I hope to be a pretty straightforward question: We currently have a Dish 722 HD DVR (connected to a single television), and six other HD receivers throughout...

Thank you for the quick response. I currently have the 622, the 211, and two 811's so a total of five tuners if that makes any difference. I just assumed the DPP44 would be needed in a case like this but no, they did not try to bypass the switch.

I *had* a 942 and three 811's until I bought into the 'Dish'n It Up' promo and I had the 622 and the 211 to replace the 942 and one of the 811's. I had a DPP44 already installed for these receivers. Dish uses a company called 'Blue Sky' to do their installs, etc. First installer comes over...

Bumping this up with another question. The diplexers I have seen all have one antenna and one satellite in and then of course the one connector out that the coax gets reconnected to. With the Dish 1000, there are four coax cables coming off the Dish itself. Does it matter at all which of...
