I deleted the Dish email which had the code and my Dad wants one for Christmas. Thanks!! Joe

Hi All, I had a recent lightning strike that toasted my receiver. The attached hard drive now shuts down my new receiver. Is there a way to copy the programs to my new HD using my computer which doesn't shut down? Any ideas? I have a ton of programs I don't want to lose. Thanks J.

Hi All, Recently my 622 had forgotten all my timers. I had to manually update the guide after a hard reboot but all the scheduled timers were empty. I had to delete them all then add them back in. Trouble is the unit now says "maximum number of event timers reached" and wants me to delete before...

Hi, The 1000.4 dish was insatlled yesterday but I lost an SD local that was on the 500. Its available on the 1000.4 but its HD and my DVR will fill up quickly with all the wife's "stories". Can I run a coax to the 1000.4 from the 500 to get the channel back? Thanks! J.

Hi All, Back in December I got a few letters from Dish asking me to call about an upgrade that is required. I never called because I forgot but was wondering if anyone knows what its about. I have a VIP622/612 and a 211. Do they want to upgrade one of my receivers? Thanks! J.

Hi, I like to keep concert events on my external hard drive but lately at least half a dozen have gone missing but I never deleted them. Is there an "expiry" where they are automatically deleted? Is this just a quirk? I'm using a Seagate 500GB drive if that matters and a VIP 622. Thanks! Cruz.

HI All, Anyone know the differences between the two? I'm being charged $10/month for each one. Why do I need both? Is there something on the Gold HD that isn't on the Platinum? Thanks, J.

Hi All, I have a 612DVR that I hooked up today and the receiver works but the second tuner is not functioning. I aimed the dish without the "splitter" for the second tuner. I just ran the cable into Tuner 1. I then hooked up the "splitter" (sorry don't know the correct name for it) and ran a...

HI All, I had a WD 350GB drive hooked up to my 612 and aside from being a bit small it worked great. I got a good deal on a Seagate Free Agent USB 2.0 750GB drive and it has tons of storage but loses communication with the receiver. After a few hours or so if I try and access the drive it...

Hi, I pimped my brother to get Dish. He doesn't have credit cards so he had to use a green dot money card to pay his bill. Anyway, he went to order a PPV and it wouldn't work. He called customer service and they said since he has no CC that he needs to have a credit on the account in order for...

Hi, If I get a signal strength of 60 on 61.5 with a dish 300 what strength could I expect if I were to swap the dish out with a Winegard 30" dish? Curious if its worth the effort/expense. Hoping to minimize rain fade as much as possible. Thanks, Joe

Hi All, Not too happy with the 1000.4 dish (eastern arc). Even with 50-60 signal strength I get rain fade with light rainfall. Is there a dish combo (maybe a 500 for 119/110 and another 500 with an I bracket for 61.5) that would yield a stronger signal. Thanks a ton! Joe

Hi I hung a 1000.4 with a 722 best signal I could get was about 60 across all three birds (eastern arc) I am in michigan. Is that normal? I'm getting rain fade. Thanks Joe

HI All, I just got a 722 and a 1000.4 dish. I am in the Detroit area and set the dish up as my retailer suggested. Skew at 78 (Itthink thats what it was) and elevation at 39. He suggested running the single line to the 61.5 slot transponder 29, tuning it, then doing a check switch and all...

I'm trying to convert my brother from cable to Dish (free months for me) but he doesn't have a credit card. If he buys the equipment will they send him monthly bills? He cut all his cards at the start of the recession. Thanks, Joe

Hi All, I want to add a 722 to replace my 622 and move my 622 downstairs. Trouble is the phone jack downstairs has a different phone number (my office phone) from the one the 722 would be using. Is this an issue? I'd rather not pay $5/month for nothing. Ideas? Thanks, Joe

Hi All, I have a 622, 625 and a 211. All are only hooked up to single TV's but I want to upgrade the 622 to a 722 and move the 622 to my bar. Will they allow me to do that? Is there a maximum number of receivers one can add to an account? All the TV's I have are HD and I hate SD signal on...

Hi All, Aside from more storage and different OTA tuner what are the other differences? I'm thinking of upgrading and moving my 622 to my basement TV and using the 722 as my main. Thanks, Joe

Hi All, I have a few programs that are no longer on my DVR but I did not delete them. Any idea why or if I can recover them? I always had enough room for new recordings so I'm not sure why they were deleted. Thanks, Joe

Hi, I have my 722 mounted in the basement and TV 2 is up a floor. I guess its mounted in a poor location because the range is really poor despite fresh batteries and the antenna hooked up properly. I was wondering if I could use some RG6 to essentially extend the antenna. This way I can mount...

Hi All, I bought a 612 to replace my 211 and all was well initially. Recently I get a message stating if I don't see a picture to unplug the receiver for 1 minute then plug it back in. This now happens every day. Also a lot of times the unit just freezes and doesn't respond to any remote...

Hi All, I swapped out a 211 with a 612 today but am having trouble with the switches. I have a dish 500 with a twin lnb and a dish 300 with a single lnb pointed at 61.5 for HD. I have the single wire coming from the SW21 switch going into the combiner at the back of the receiver. I do a check...

Hi, I wanted to try out this new HD Turbo thing so I tried to tune to channel 501 on my 622 but it's not there. Is it just my receiver or am I missing something? Thanks, Joe

Hi All, I have a program stored on my WD hard drive. All was ok but recently one program in particular has developed audio dropouts. I tried rebooting both the disk drive and receiver with no luck. I was thinking about restoring it but don't want to in case it doesn't fix the dropouts. Any...

Hi All, I finally bought an HDMI switcher and wa splanning on using it with my 411. I got it all hooked up and had a black screen. Even bypassing the switcher (running direct) I get a black sceen. Any advice on how to get this to work? Thanks, Joe
