Dear Dish Support, Please restore the DVR Icon to my Hopper's main menu, sooner, rather than later! Extremely angry, Jeff

I've been using Harmony remotes for years, is there a compelling reason to use Dish's remotes (current or future)?

I currently have 2 receivers, a VIP722K and a VIP211. After some other issues were resolved, I have determined that the 211 is no longer functional. I can, of course, get the 211 replaced and be done with it. I can also go down the upgrade path. I am thinking I would want a Hopper (with or...

I guess I have some new expectations that I need to deal with - apparently complete signal loss is easier to achieve on the EA than it was on the mixed arc I was running previously. The good news is that the signal came back shortly after I left for work. Thanks everyone!

On Monday Dish technicians came and switched me over to the Eastern Arc and all was good. Last night a line of severe thunderstorms came through here and this morning I have no TV. To be clear, I had OTA until I power cycled my 722. Now, all I see is the 'Complete Signal Loss' screen and I can't...

I am now on the Eastern Arc and I have my locals back! Now I think I need a Hopper, a Super Joey, and a wireless Joey!

Let the saga continue... OK, so I went on-line to mydishnetwork and added the protection plan anticipating a service call to either fix my existing setup or to change me over to Eastern Arc. I had to run out an do some errands, when I returned I no longer had satellite locals or local guide...

My DMA is EA - I guess it may be time to switch over.

No trees here. 61.5, 110, 119.

Hi Everyone! Been a while since I've been here, it's great to see all the new names, but, even better to see all the old familiar ones. Anyway, I've developed a problem with my install. I have 2 dishes feeding a DPP44 to a 722k and a 211. Recently, we have experienced complete signal loss on an...

I had the same issue yesterday, but was also seeing 'Information Unavailable' and saw bunches of timers potentially misfiring. First tried 'Check Switch' - still had issues. Then did the power reset (unplug, wait, plug in) and most issues cleared up. Manually fixed a few schedule issues. Units...

Thanks for your help Zach - you da man! Got shipment confirmation last night.

Yes it is. Thanks!

Thanks KAB!

After over 5 years of (mostly) trouble-free operation, my 211 has started exhibiting an intermittent issue. Once or twice a day (most days) while watching on the satellite tuner, the TV will suddenly go black. Waiting for 5 minutes or so will cause the receiver to reset itself, reboot, and...
