    I get the impression that the once supported sling player app on android and iPhone are no longer supported when using sling loaded receivers from dish. Is this correct?

    Bizarre Bug: iPhone/Droid/Android Tablet Connects to a Receiver I Don't Own

    After deleting the cache on my computers, I can access the 922 using dish online.com. I can also access it using the app. What is strange is the sling player app that I was comped by dish a few years back, continues to connect to the east cost receiver. I am in Colorado. This looks like a...

    I have a 922 on my LAN. I tried to connect to it a few weeks back on my android tablet and it connected to a receiver that I do not own and had DVR programs that were not mine. When I tried to watch live TV, it when to a satellite transponder check screen and was looking for 72. I am on...

    Audio drop outs

    I haven't noticed the audio drop problem this week and I normally experience it when watching Weeds/Big C. Perhaps the issue resolution is starting to show.

    Audio dropout again 722 dvr

    I understand that the technology is complicated and that it takes time to figure out issues. To my knowledge, this started in 2010. I just wonder how aggressive Dish Network has been in working this problem vs. developing new receivers and tailgating antennas. It is truly disappointing to...

    Ongoing frustration with quality of Dish service

    So is the audio drop out issue that dish is currently "investigating" associated with HDMI? Optical or RCA for audio? If I switch to component and an optical cable, will the audio dropping issue resolve? I am curious to know what Dish is actually doing with regards to this issue. It as been...

    Former Dish Net / New Customers Read This

    Mdram, Thank you for responding. I called and found out that I would have 15 days to cancel for dissatisfaction before being on the hook for an etf. What model HD DVR/HD Receivers would be installed on promotion? I would want the whole house dvr feature. Late model hardware would...

    Former Dish Net / New Customers Read This

    Considering the move to from dish. I have some questions to consider before making the move. Does D* spot beam Denver and Colorado Springs locals? What satellite are they on? Do they overcompress locals? Will I get current hardware on lease? If I buy my own hardware, can I avoid a...

    The sound goes - OUT

    Not too random for me. When ever I want to watch something on HBO or SHO, ie True Blood, it manages to drop audio at least once an episode. If I were to call tech support, they likely would not even acknowledge the issue.

    installer grounding question

    I am in the process of gathering equipment to upgrade my dad to hd. I noticed that his 500 dish is not grounded, but the cable has a ground block that is connected to the house electrical ground via an outdoor light fixture. This seems like a short cut taken by a dish installer. Should I...

    Replacing Dish 500 with 1000.4 WA

    Thank you for responding. The mast I am using for the 500 is not the one included with the antenna. It is a galvanized fence post that is about 5 feet off the ground. J.Vo

    Replacing Dish 500 with 1000.4 WA

    The Dish 500 is mounted on a mast set in concrete. Will the 1000.4 mount fit on the same mast that the 500 is currently setting on? I see mentions of bracing the dish on the forums. Thanks. J.Vo

    Audio drop outs

    I noticed the audio glitch sounds like a pop when I go hdmi straight into my samsung LCD. When it goes through the receiver, the pop gets suppressed by the onkyo thus no sound.

    Audio drop outs

    KAB, what should I do, just pay my 125 dollar bill every month and except degraded audio quality? Relative to life, yes. But when I am tired, and want to enjoy what I pay for, the reproducible (DVR) audio dropout issue is disappointing. It disrupts the context of dialog in many cases. I...

    Audio drop outs

    I called Dish Technical Support for my 922 in February to check if it was a "known issue." They said it was not. I initially thought it was my system, a cable perhaps. Finally in March, I called back and they said it was a defective receiver. I was charged 15 dollars for the warranty swap...

    Troubleshooting Sound Dropouts

    They said my received needed to be replaced and charged me a $15.00 fee. Why would they do that with a known software issue?

    Troubleshooting Sound Dropouts

    Could the forums please help me to troubleshoot an issue I am having with sound. My 922/Dish 1000 is connected to an Onkyo receiver via HDMI. When watching a satellite channel, the digital audio stream will cut out for a second or two. This occurs on both live broadcasts, and DVR if the...

    Dual HD Tuner Single TV Dish Receiver

    Yes, deactivating the 622 saved me 17 dollars a month. I also dropped my programming from AEP to Bronze with Platinum HD. Have since added a mac mini with OTA tuner to our main TV and toying with a boxee box for the room we had the 622 in. I am not ready to drop Dish just yet, but that is...

    Dual HD Tuner Single TV Dish Receiver

    I have a 922 and a 622. I deactivated the 622 because of the 17 dollar a month fee and it was in a room that was seldom used. Now I may want a receiver back in that room. Dish charges a premium for that second standard definition TV output that I have no use for. Is there a receiver that...
