I think that is what he ended up doing. He still ended up doing a bootstrap. After that the software seemed to install very fast. I really don't know if it was a software problem or hardware. I am sure we will get it straightened out. I installed my first dish over 30 years ago, a 10' c band...

I have a 2 dish setup. I get 110,119 and129 on one. I get 61.5 on the other. I was told I would get a new single dish, but the installer claims I am better off with this setup.I will give it til next Monday, unless it gets worse, to see if I am over the hump.

Actually the software stalled at 82% six times. One of those it was over an hour and a half, while he went to get a new hopper. Today I called Dish, and they sent a software update. Tonight I lost tuner 3. From what I read in the forums tuner 3 has to have good wire. It is working ok again at...

He used the cables from my install 6 years ago. Just changed the switch. He even left the 2 dish setup which Dish said I needed updated. My 722 and 211k setup was working great. The 722s hard drive was acting up. The joey just came back to life after about 3 hours of down time. I could use the...

Well, tonight I come home and the joey has no signal. I try the hopper and it works! I guess Dish will be getting a call!

Well, I got my hopper with sling and joey setup Friday. The installer said it would be real quick , as it just needed a switch change and hopper/joey install. He figured about 30-45 minutes. Everything went as planned until the software update. It would stall at 82% every time. He had to go to...

Well, Dish called and told me that I WILL get the sling version after all. They also told me my owned 211k is compatible with it. I am paying more than I would for Direct, but I am staying with Dish. I am not one to jump around services just to save a few bucks, as long as they give me good service.

I am strongly thinking of going to Direct. I am a 6 year Dish subscriber no contract. I thought I would check with dish loyalty to see if they could offer something to stay with them. They offered a free hopper and tech service. I was ready to say yes but then asked if it was the hopper with...

Well,I will give it 3 weeks.If not settled by then,I go to Direct TV. I am not going to loose the Packers! I agree BOTH parties are VERY GREEDY!!!

If you are wired up for the new receiver,I would purchase it. If not,you will need a service call,so I would just lease it! I just went through this. I wanted to add a 211k,and my room was wired for the 222 which I no longer needed. I asked Dish to send me the 211 and I would install it myself...

Well,I tried this and my bill went UP $10 per month. They told me it is because I had the dvr bundle,and now all fees are seperate! I was on the phone for over an hour,trying to get this straightened out.My phones battery went dead before I found out what the outcome was! I informed them I am...

I talked to a customer service superviser,and she told me they have a list several pages long of locals due to go HD on the 25th of this month. One she confirmed was the CBS out of Madison,WI. The ABC local was not on her list. Of course I told her,Dish has lied to me for almost a year on this...

As far as Disney HD,it is about the worst HD channel on Dish. Which is really disappointing,in that Disney had a history of providing top notch picture quality.It was one of the first color series with the Wonderful World of Color. Its HD quality stinks,and of course all of its new shows seem to...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A penny is about what Cinemax is worth per year! I found 1 show worth watching in the past 12 months!

I am having similar problems with my 722.The same day I put in the new smartcard one of my 2 hd locals went out of sync. SD is fine. I called the station ,they say it is not on their end.Called dish,they tell me the smartcard is not at fault.So,I have 2 local HD channels,and with the voices so...
