    Hisense TV's with the Hopper

    Every Hisense TV that I have hooked a Hopper up to has a small problem. The DISH remote will turn the TV on and off and adjust volume, but when you first turn it on there is a screen shot that the DISH remote will not remove. You have to use the Hisense remote to get it off of the screen. Have...

    922--Did anyone else get their 922 DVR totally erased last night?

    My 922 was acting weird last night in that it was slow reacting to skip-forward, etc. This morning I turned it on and all my DVR recordings were gone and all my timers as well. I wondered if there was a new software download last night that caused this or was it just my unit?

    a search engine to find posts about like problems?

    The simple solution would be to hook up component cables. They should work fine for you.

    Can channels be set to go straight to the SD channel on a certain tuner?

    The favorites list is the most practical and simplest solution for your situation if you want full screen on the #2 tv.

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    There is an new accessory coming soon which will make it possible to get HD from the #2 tuner at a remote location. It was introduced at the CES show.

    722k tuner preference changes on its own.

    I have a customer who I installed for last week who claims that his DVR is changing its priority on its own. He sets it to record his shows on #1 and when he gets up in the morning, it has changed all his shows to #2. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or if he just has a...

    tv's that put off signal to disturb dish remote

    After you change out remotes, go to "system info" and do the hold, #, and record thing, then you need to unplug the receiver to reset. It will then reset to work on the new remote with no slow guide issue.

    tv's that put off signal to disturb dish remote

    The only brand of TV I have had an issue with has been Vizio. I have changed out the remotes for them and no problems after that. Does anyone know how to go into the tv menu and disable that feature. I haven't been able to find it.

    Loss of signal problem

    Run a new piece of coax straight from the receiver to the dish. It sounds like a bad cable. I had a customer with the same problem and new cable fixed it. I did try a separator first but that didn't help. Try a temp cable first before going to the trouble of routing it like the old one. Just run...

    Question about my 622 DVR

    Your 622 is probably over-heating. Put a small fan blowing on it and it will probably quit. Mine did.

    Stay with DISH...

    I was stopped by a total stranger again today in a parking lot. He saw the DISH sign on my truck and stopped me to tell me that he had been a long-time DISH user and recently switched to Direct TV. He told me that they lied to him about several things in order to get him to switch and he now...

    What would you want Dish to do?

    There are people who watch nothing but sports and there are those who watch nothing but locals. It doesn't matter what DISH does, it will not make EVERYBODY happy. They have try to hit the middle of the road with both.

    722 TV2 says cannot find sat while TV1 works fine

    I had the very same thing happen with a customer last week. It had me scratching my head for a while. It ended up being a bad cable. I first tried a new separator with no success. It worked perfectly on both tuners after I ran a new cable.
