Hi, I used a C-Band satellite system for many years. When the receiver failed we switched to Dish network Anyway, I would rather not just scrap the dish but can't think of any other creative use for it. I don't believe there is any market for it as a satellite dish where I live (Phoenix AZ...

On Sunday afternoon, I was watching a recording (The Cain Mutiny) and when I tried to exit, the 722 froze up instead of returning to live programming. So I did a long press of the on/off button. When the system came back, it played live just fine and the guide worked. But if I pushed the Dish...

HD for life is a nice concept. But apparently its deteriorating HD for life. I thought I noticed a (not so good) change when watching my local channels. Sure enough, the .ts files on the DVR for local channels have changed from 1080 resolution to 720. But I guess 720 is HD in some people's...

Does BlockBuster@Home have a free trial like NetFlix or Amazon Prime? I think I messed up when I replaced my ancient 525 with a 722 last year. Someone told me if I had asked I could have got a 3 month trial. At the time I didn't even know it existed.

Many channels in my DISH service have a 3 digit channel number and also a 4 digit channel number with apparently identical programming. I assume they are on different satellites or something but will one or the other be better to watch or record from? There has to be some reason for the...

Not positive if this is the right forum but... With a 1080p TV, which source would be a better picture: (1) A DVD player or (2) satellite 1080i? More specifically, HDMI connection for both and the satellite being DISH (HD). The DVD is 480P and upscaled to 1080p either by the TV or DVD player...

I just replaced a dieing 522 with a new 722 from Dish. I would like some feedback on if some things are normal for the model. (1) The 722 is MUCH slower to respond to many remote commands than the 522 was. For example, scrolling horizontally in the guide sometimes takes a few seconds. Or...

I am in a position where I need to fix my current configuration, upgrade my hardware (but with no commitment) OR pull the plug completely and just use OTA and Amazon or Netflix. I was one of the first 522 customers. When its HD died, Dish sent a replacement 522 but I didn't like the turnaround...

I've been a PVRExplorer Pro user for as long as I've had my 522. It's always worked great for programs on just about every channel with the exception of HBO/MAX and maybe some I don't get. But sometime in the last few weeks, numerous other channels have changed working, including USA, TMC and...

I have a 522 and beginning a few weeks ago, when I open an event from the the Daily Schedule screen, the Timer button is grayed out. I hoped it was just some temporary bug in a firmware update but I guess not. This makes some routine processes very tedious and time consuming, particularly when...

Dish has a manual posted for a 21.0 remote. That manual says it can be used with a 522/625 receiver. I see model 20.0 remotes for sale but can't find a manual to confirm it will also work with a 522. I suspect the 20.0 may just be a 21.0 with IR only instead of IR or UHF. Anyone know where to...

My 522 can't get a signal on one of the tuners. I swapped the inputs and the problem moved, so i think that rules out a problem inside the 522 itself. I checked every coax connection between the dish and the 522 and none were loose but I unscrewed and reconnected each one anyway and the...

I've had a 522 for a few years and last week had a message come up that forced me to do a "check switch" (would have been nice if the message said where that was in the menus). I did and it passed. It came up again every few minutes and eventually it failed and I was dead in the water. The next...
