    How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

    I was quoted $300 plus installation for 1H/1J by a DIRT. I am 8 months in my two year contract so no wiggle room for me. The funny thing is if it was a total of $200 I would have done it but $300 plus installation is too much. I'll just wait for the contract to end and then re-evaluate the...

    Live Scores And My VIP612

    Is there any way to turn off the "Press Select For Live Scores" feature. It really bothers me when it pops up.

    SatelliteGuys Review: Logitech Revue with GoogleTV – A Diamond in the Rough

    I got one of those refurbished $79 units from amazon and trying to set it up. I have both a 722k and a 211k. I want to set it up with the 211k but when I go through the setup a message keeps coming up on the 722k (not the 211k where the Revue is connected) about going to dishenetwork.com to...

    Is there any benefit connecting a 211k to the internet

    I don't believe so. I ran a temporary line just to see if I could do that (I do have an EHD connected to the 211k and was also curious abut this). The 211k still shows as offline on my account even though it was plugged in and was configured properly. It maybe that you must have a sling...

    Is there any benefit connecting a 211k to the internet

    Neither receiver is connected by phone. Strictly ethernet on the 722k only. What about On-Demand stuff, would that work without being connected to the internet?

    Is there any benefit connecting a 211k to the internet

    I have both a 722K with a sling adapter and a 211k receiver. The 722k is connected to my router using a gigabit switch so that I can use dish online. Is there any benefit to connecting the 211k to the internet? I would have to run a cat5e line to my bedroom to connect it and was wondering if...

    DISH Online took a dive

    I am a new subscriber and I have not been able to create my account in the past two days. It keeps telling me that my email (both email and confirmation fields) is wrong and to fix it and resubmit. The problem is my email is correct in both fields but no go. I tried both ie and firefox...

    New to dish network and about to subscribe

    Thanks for the info. I like your setup Bobby. I also remember reading something about adding an external hard drive for a one time setup fee of $40 and turn it into a single tuner DVR is that still available? I assume the recorded shows can only be watched at their respective TVs. Will the...

    New to dish network and about to subscribe

    I have had both cable (time warner) and directv and I have now decided to try dish. I have two TVs but not sure if I need two receivers. I would like a two tuner HD DVR for my main TV but not sure if I need a second HD box. If there was a way to watch recorded shows (in HD) from the DVR on...
