    Dish just called me -- Free sling adapter?

    Yes, I received the offer too. I had one slingbox and one sling adapter. The slingbox stopped working with the apps a few months ago (but I still used slingbox.com to view tv and my dvr). I did contact them at that time and I was told that this was no longer supported. Not pleased at that...

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    Remember, there could be a firewall setup on your router managing traffic - blocking the sling port, for example. That would block it regardless of the machine used.

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    Thanks TG2 - lots of good information. Have me wondering about your last comment - about the cache (and we don't really know what is happening behind the scenes). That makes sense, if they've changed how the application uses the cache, or how the cache is setup/refreshed - that could lead to...

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    Interesting discussion folks. I too have had various problems similar to these recently. The new sling adapter works fine every time. The sling box has issues with Dish Online and most of the time I can not access the DVR (same problem with IPhone app). Although it works through slingbox.com...

    Have free Platinum, can't sign up for BB by mail

    Has anyone come across this combination? I pay the $10 for Platinum, but I have the 30th anniv. Starz for free. I can't add BB Movie Pass (greyed out). CSR said I should be able to register. They sent me off - being researched. Just wondering if anyone fell into this category, too?

    DVR - contents lost

    I had a strange sequence of events that has caused the contents of my DVR to be gone. I have a 722. 1. After a restart (power went out), there was a message that the external hard drive was new and needed to be formatted. Sat. AM. 2. As this contained dozens of recordings in my archive, I...

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    You're right - it was a few weeks ago - but it was the ZERO key (not #) - so since there is no channel zero, it goes to the closest - channel one. Yes - lock PPV - so there it is no accidental order. Too easy without it.

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    I've noticed that - then I realized when I grabbed the remote, if I accidentally pressed the * key - it selected channel 1 - and was looking for my order pin.

    Setting up TV2 on a 722

    I don't know if these are kept up to date, but on this page are links to a series of wiring diagrams. Tech Portal : 722 Look under the "Install" section going down the left side. Hope it helps. Bill

    Dish Remote Access, no Internet needed?

    Ok - I have broadband access - hooked up to one of my receivers - and dish.sling.com has worked fine for remote access. So, now when I go to that address, it says this page is here, but not for long. It says soon, go to dishnetwork.com, previously, I could not register my account here since I...

    When will we get true local weather on 8s

    I've been almost a year with dish after many years with cable. Yes, initially I missed the weather on the 8's. Central Florida also has a local News13 from the cable company that had weather on the 1's which was 'more local'. But with that gone, I've gone more to checking on my phone - didn't...

    Are Premium Movie Channels A Good Value?

    As stated, worth is personal, but where I can 'justify' the premium channel is that is how I "collect" some movies I wish to have on my EHD. I have netflix too, that for the immediate dvd release watching, and the premium for the collection later on.

    Dish Remote Access now shows Extended Hard Drive contents

    I just tried it - yes, that is a nice upgrade. I have a 722. I agree, moving something to the EHD appears to be the next logical update. It does appear you can delete (under manage disk space) - although I didn't try it since I don't want to delete anything right now from my EHD. Perhaps an...

    Dishonline getting Better.

    To me, DishOnline is a nice idea - but it is not finished. To go into 'TV Entertainment' and see '1 of 2789' is not very useful. With just a few updates this could be much better: folders/categories (an obvious one already mentioned). Some sort of "Download Dishpass" - for free items - if you...

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    Very easy - Thanks, Satellite Guys! Well, after 29 pages of information (ok - I skimmed) - I wasn't sure if this would eventually happen automatically - So, I just went into online chat, and within a few minutes he said it would be added in about 10 minutes. Again, very simple.

    DishOnline stopped working

    working now... Ok, thanks - I saw that thread starting and saw it as a more general connection problem. More information when I went back and re-read. So, I was prepared to call customer service last night and investigate. I went into DishOnline, and now the "processing your request" shows...

    DishOnline stopped working

    I've used DishOnline in the past. When I tried to use it today, I get "Processing your Request ..." whenever I go into the next menu. It will just sit there with that message. If I had a connection problem in the past, I would get a mesage to check that. I was also on dish.sling.com and the...

    What type of event timer do you prefer?

    That happens a lot for me - surfing and find a movie that I want to watch from the beginning - just press search - the current program will default to the search text, select done, then get results - you will see when the movie is on again - select one and you will be in the create timer screen.
