    Dish Anywhere question

    Had lots of snow the last few days and my dish is covered and I'm lazy, so I have 0 signal for any channels. In fact at this point I can't even select a channel because the guide can't be acquired. But, there are channels on Dish Anywhere that are available and I'm wondering how. My wife was...

    new credit policy?

    I just called because my three month courtesy credit expired and I was going to ask to re-sign up again as I've been doing every three months for years now it seems. it always goes like this: 1) I ask to renew credit 2) They offer to lock in my the current price for a two year contract (more...

    Dish movie pack/Epix app

    Is the Epix mobile app not included with the Dish Movie Pack? Epix channels are part of it, but when I log into the app it tells me I'm not allowed to watch movies and I need to upgrade. The website is a bit unclear, or at least makes no mention one way or the other.

    Center Ice Half season

    Does Dish offer Half-season pricing for Center Ice? I've seen references elsewhere of the half-season price being $109 but I don't see that anywhere on Dish's own website. NHL.tv has an offer for less but I'd rather not mess with streaming box PQ issues.

    Search filters on new UI

    Have a new Hopper w/sling and they updated the old UI on this one. I can't find any way to set filters when searching that were in the old version. Things like "HD or standard" "ratings" etc. There were a lot of ways to customize searches on the old UI so you would get say only movies that...

    AJAM replacement?

    Anyone heard anything on this? It really sucks that the only real news (rather than hotTrumpTalk!) networks is shutting down. It's hard to think of anything else that could replace it. BBC World? Just now I'm watching in depth on-the-ground reporting on five or six stories that will never...

    experience with that hard drive failure message

    I've seen a few threads on this but they were all a little different. I came home from a few weeks away to find the "hard drive failure" message, all my recordings gone, and the HDD Xed out in read on the system screen. Tried red button reset and that didn't work. When I finally decided to...

    Guide search question

    Is there a way to search for a word like 'Halloween' in order to get results that have 'Halloween' in the show description and not just the title? I swear I was able to do it last year and get a list of Halloween episodes of old shows but this year I only seem to get shows with the word in the...

    Game Finder timer issue

    Has anyone had an issue where you set a timer (in this case for a game on FS2) through the game Finder app and it records the SD channel rather than HD? Is Game Finder still not automatically mapping timers onto the HD version for Fox Sports 2 specifically?

    NBCSP recording failure today

    Did anyone else trying to record the MAN U. game today get a failed recording? (red text message saying "file cannot be opened).

    anooying hopper glitch?

    I've had this happen a couple of times now. I have a timer set to record 30 for 30. Sometimes it shows up on ESPN Classic which I don't have (sports pack only?). Instead of just not recording though, it starts a recording and takes up a tuner, leaving a blank recording on the DVR. Before I...

    refine search results?

    Is there a way to search for, say a theme (like horror movies) and only see results from the next 24 hours or so? I haven't been able to find anything more subtle than just 1) "the entire guide" which gives a huge list of movies that might be on any time in the next 9 days (and takes two...

    hopper not seeing Joey activity

    Has anyone had this issue: Right now I'm watching one thing on a HWS, and my wife is watching a recorded show on a Joey. When I go to check tuner activity, I see the tuner I am watching (tuner 1), but the other two are listed as available. If I click on tuner 2, I am actually taken to a...

    Unlisted previews?

    I have a receiver upgrade scheduled for this week, so I can't access my programming online and confirm any of this, so I thought I would ask here. I seem to have MLB strike zone and Root sports Pittsburgh showing up among my channels, but I don't (think) I have multi-sport. I'm in the Buffalo...

    "Sorry for the ineterruption" slate on KBS (9394)

    Is there a standard thing that this means, the blue slate with "We are aware that this channel is temporarily unavailable...." message? Is it a technical problem or a..."business" issue? If we lose KBS my wife will crap blue. She loves her Korean dramas.

    total signal loss on four of the Center Ice stations

    I have been having snow issues and still only have SD for a few channels (mainly the ones with HD feeds on 61.5). Earlier today I lost everything and was able to partially clear off my dish but not totally because of where it's located and not having a grown up ladder :) and everything came...

    question on moving a 722K

    This is probably a pretty basic question but is also specific enough that I can't seem to find the answer browsing around. Right now I have one 722K running two SD tvs in different parts of the house (basement, bedroom). Right now, the 722 is hooked up in the basement and the bedroom is the...

    "follow up inspection"

    I just got a call from someone claiming to be from DISH and asking if I was available for a "follow up inspection" (I had a tech. visit a few days ago). Has anyone ever encountered this?

    questions on sudden 722k failure

    Suddenly this morning my 722K won't get past the "starting up" screen. It freezes there for awhile, the fan runs and runs, and then it shuts down and starts over and does the same thing again...forever. I called my local installer who told me they couldn't get someone out for another ten days...

    Taiwanese Skylink

    I hope no one minds if I ask this here, the Dish website has very little real information and I don't want to rely on the wheel of CSR's to find out: My wife loves KBS (Korean soap operas and singing competitions) and I've just noticed that there is a $5 standalone called Taiwanese Skylink...

    old thread about lockups at 5:15 p.m.

    Sorry to resurrect an old topic but the original thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/207217-722k-locks-up-once-day-roughly.html is too old to respond to and I was wondering if there has been anything new figured out about this 5:20 lockup thing. I've started...

    722k freeze-up but only on one channel

    It may be coincidence, but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this. My 722K has frozen (requiring reboot) about a dozen times in the last few months. But always and only on one channel (149, Fox Soccer Channel). Weirdly, the same thing happened with my second box. The only two...

    "3 premium" credit listed on statement

    Right now, I'm in the middle of a 3-month HBO/Showtime promo. Two of the three $24 credits showed up on my last statement. But there was also a credit listing for: "3 premiums -$20.89" I'm trying to figure out why I have that credit and how they arrived at that number. I have multi-sport as...

    final answer on 722K vents

    Searching the forums yielded a lot of conflicting answers on this, and a lot of difficulty telling which receiver people were talking about, so I hope it's okay to ask this straight up. Is there a definitive answer on which of the two side vents on the 722K is to bring air in and which is to...

    Hockey on multi sports pack

    I've had the multi Sports pack all summer in Western New York and it gave me the Pirates (FOXPT), Indians (STO), and Mets (SNY). I noticed today that with the hockey season underway I wanted to check in on the Penguins/Islanders and I was locked out of FOXPT. Is this some sort of weird MSG...
