    Sound loss on 722

    Looks like no-one's actually getting a fix for this. I'm having exactly the same problem on 722k. Getting sound dropouts on both hooked-up TV's, audio usually drops out for maybe a second or two at random points during broadcasts (doesn't appear to matter what channel) and also at the end of...

    issue with sling adapter and android phone

    Dish told me that my problems (streaming to Android but not PC) were because of my Internet connection. Turns out it was my anti-virus...

    Cutting off recordings again

    I had the same with the Grammys on my 722k the other night. I started the recording live at the end for Paul McCartney, pressed Stop when the show ended and when I went to play it back the last 3 minutes (of about 10) were missing :rant:

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    I just posted this in another Forum but thought it important enough to share here... So... I can finally report SUCCESS! I called about having my 722k as my Primary Receiver. Following that, I made a change to my Anti-Virus properties. I'm running NOD32, and although I've been disabling it...

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Well I got 10 seconds of one of my recordings streaming earlier but can't replicate it. One thing I have noticed though is that when I sign into dishonline in IE I occasionally get a popup for ULead MP3 Codec with an OK button on it. If I don't click on OK, the window for the player goes blue...

    Desperate for help for Sling Adapter not working

    Good luck bmacfla. As you might have seen from my own thread, I'm having similar (but not identical) problems as you and have tried everything I can think of. If your replacment DVR works I'd be interested in knowing since I've already got my USB and Sling ready to send back on Monday morning

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Apologies if any of you have seen this elsewhere. I'm trying to get help from everywhere I can... I've got a slight update. I've just bypassed the USB adapter and run a cable straight into my router with exactly the same results (other than a new IP address, natch). Did all the permutations -...

    It is a new dawn at DISH.

    Knowing Dish, a 99cent package comes out to be $74.99 after factoring in the fine print and fees they don't tell you about at sign-up ;)

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Thanks Ross. Unfortunately starting over hasn't resolved the issue :( The wireless adapter and SA are both plugged directly into the 722k and I've tried alternating front and back USB port with each. I just tried watching live TV on my Android phone and got a message on TV2 that Remote...

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Latest update is that after spending the day thinking this might be a router problem, my wife tried to sign in at her sister's place (so therefore off our home network) and got the same thing - couldn't connect but could see the contents of our DVR. When she tried to play a recording it went...

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Latest update: I'm connecting with the Netgear WiFi BB Connector that I ordered from Dish at the same time as the Sling Adapter and am trying each of the following steps on both FF 3.5 and IE9 Now it's doing something a little different. Actually, a lot different. This has become a mess...

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Thanks Mary. As an update, Matt G got me in the ballpark for getting this up and running. After he asked me whether or not I had anything blocking anonymous pings I disabled Windows Firewall and that let me view a DVR recording on dish.sling. However, when I switched over to dishonline I was...

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    Ooops, I thought I'd posted this into Dish Technical Issues. Could a Mod please move this? TIA

    ANOTHER Sling Adapter/722k connection problem

    After months of deliberating, the wife and I finally ordered a Sling Adapter and Wireless USB connector from Dish last week, both arrived this morning. As with what seems like a LOT of other people, we're having connection issues. We can stream both Live TV and DVR recordings via Wi-Fi (Netgear...

    Wi-Fi Adapter

    Ok, forgive the noob question, I'm new to the idea of going wireless with a receiver, but why hook the 722(k) to your home network? I'm thinking of getting a Sling adapter at some point in the future so know I'll need it for that, but what about before then? Does it mean I'd just get access to...

    Why stay with Dish Network over DirecTV??

    Then why have discussion Forums when you can just call Dish and they'll tell you? Here's why - because as we all know, companies like Dish, DirecTV, etc will often say different things to different people. I agree, I hope the OP has taken up the offer of help. But I maintain my original...

    Why stay with Dish Network over DirecTV??

    You missed the point. It's not about defending Dish, it's about someone getting a smart arse reply when they're just looking for advice . What you consider looking for validation, others consider to be asking questions (something you admitted you'd do yourself). How do you know the OP wasn't...

    Why stay with Dish Network over DirecTV??

    Wow, that was helpful... I really don't get answers like this. No matter what type of forum you're on, answers like this are almost always from fan-boys who can hear no wrong about whichever service/product/interest they consider their precioussssssss. The OP specifically said he's looking for...

    Dish Vip Dvr lease fee? Gouging?

    That's another good example. Can you imagine signing up with a phone company only to find a hidden charge each month for using your Voicemail then at the end of your contract they make you pay to send your phone back if you don't renew your contract or choose another carrier?

    Dish Vip Dvr lease fee? Gouging?

    I like that, but I'd also like to see the addition of the equipment being yours at the end of your 2 year agreement. Personally I can't see why we should be paying the extra ad infinitum. Hell, I'm not even happy that there's an extra DVR service fee each month. To me that's like buying a VCR...

    Fox Soccer & Fox Soccer Plus moved??

    Cake or death? Actually I wouldn't be surprised if Dish just made a mess of this process, but I stand by the fuss I made. I'd rather make a fuss and it all come out right for whatever reason than whine about it afterwards when it's too late and my favourite channel's gone :)

    Fox Soccer & Fox Soccer Plus moved??

    Thanks for that! And MaryB, thanks for giving what did turn out to be correct info. Credit where it's due :)

    Fox Soccer & Fox Soccer Plus moved??

    Mapping or not, surely it wouldn't be that difficult to have a message on 149 saying "This Channel is moving to 406" and one on 149 HD saying "This Channel is moving to 406 HD" (which doesn't currently exist, hence the extra worry over the 9520 issue)? Googling this issue suggests that there...

    Fox Soccer & Fox Soccer Plus moved??

    Thanks Mary. I'm not saying I don't believe it quite yet, but everyone who's spoken to a Dish agent appears to be getting different info so I suppose I'll have to wait and see. But from what you've said above, would I be right in assuming that 9520 isn't moving and that the message on the Guide...
