    Thinking of going from 722/222 to Hopper, need help!

    I am thinking about going from my current solution of a 722 dvr and a 222 receiver to Hopper. The reasoning is my 722 reboots a lot (had it replaced once with no change) and we are starting to run into the issue of the 722 not being able to record all the shows we watch on some nights. The...

    Dish 722 Rebooting a lot

    I have a dish 722 that has worked pretty well for years but lately it's starting to reboot, and then reboot again when trying to turn it on but then it will work fine for days without an issue. I am starting to suspect it has to do with TV2 tuner being watched on my second TV. Reasons why I...

    Good experience with a CSR

    I figured that in the past I was always quick to point out when Dish service was below par I should be fair and post when it is excellent. I called today about a bug with my 625 and error message 004 popping up a lot. The CSR was very nice, asked for me to do things and then instead of...
