    Dish outage thread

    Seems we are getting reports of outages this morning. In Cincy I have complete signal loss at times and then at other times having very pixilated video. Where are you and what are you seeing?

    Upgrade to HWS and lost functionality with Dish Anywhere app.

    Recently upgraded to HWS about two weeks ago and now I lost all remote control functions. Was working great over the last week or so. I could select programs in my Dvr list and tell it to start on my TVs. I could also use the app as a remote.... Ive used this app as a remote since this...

    New HWS install unable to setup record series timer

    Just wondering if I need to let the box "settle" but if I try to setup a record series timer its only recording the first episode but not finding other new episodes to record. Almost like it still needs some more guide data or something. Is this normal? PS..wow ...this is an upgrade...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I remember one time I was working at a rather large unnamed company where there was a massive data center outage once. There was a big red button surrounded by a plastic case right next to the exit door. Once there was a contractor who was repairing a system and on his way out accidentally...

    Question for 922 gurus

    I was wondering if anyone else has their local channels periodically having problems on the 922. This is referring to the Sat feeds, not an OTA module issue. I know of one other 922 owner with the exact same issue. Every now and then our local channels will say the sat signal was lost...

    The "We want full time RSN" thread

    Fios. AKA fiber optic service. Pretty soon Fios will be a term like Jello regardless of trademark. I wondered why Cincy Bell called it fioptics. Good to know. Now back to requesting full time RSNs! :)

    The "We want full time RSN" thread

    Even though I can be critical, generally I am generally an avid promotor of Dish. Recently I had Fios installed by Cincinnati Bell and they tried to sell me TV with their Whole Home DVR. Immediately I turned on my 922 and asked. Does it have expandable storage, sling capabilities, a 1TB drive...

    New Customer - Is the 922 right for me?

    Dish if your still going to charge the same upfront fees for a box about a year old AND the monthly fee ....the thing should be near perfect... I'm waiting a year so that I feel like I broke even and this thing is history.... The 722 is THE most flexible and reliable box on Dish....period.

    New Customer - Is the 922 right for me?

    I got the box at launch....and tend to be an uber gadget geek. 200 back then plus a fee.. I could see it ..... 12 months later...the box has seen SUBSTANTIAL improvements.....HOWEVER.....now that we have a standalone sling adapter for the 722....why bother? For 200 you get a better...

    New Customer - Is the 922 right for me?

    Stay far away. Pick the 722 k and buy a sling adapter and a 1 tb external hard drive. You will be so far ahead of the price curve. Many here are upset with the 200 upfront fee..plus the extra monthly fee...and you can do everything else cheaper except 3d vod. Don't bother with the 922...

    I hope I didn't make a mistake. getting mine tomorrow

    Sling seems to he hit or miss for folks. I have a 30/5 connection and there are times when I try to start sling it locks the box or the box just acts funny trying to stream.

    I hope I didn't make a mistake. getting mine tomorrow

    I got my 922 shortly after moving to Northern Cincinnati. We hadn't moved yet and Dish came out to install the dish a week before moving in. The box was buggy as hell during the install.... I let it set for an entire week running without touching it and when we moved in the following week the...

    Serious issue with S108: Losing channels after nightly reboot

    Ever since S108 I have been having a very annoying issue that seems to occur after the nightly reboot. The receiver acts as if it's lost some of the transponders on the Sats. I notice it most often on the 77 sat since my locals are there. When I tune to the channel it says signal lost...

    Post your Dish offers to move from Dish HD Absolute

    Figured I would start a thread after looking through at least half the "mega" Dish absolute thread and not finding anything looking conclusive. Please post your offers to move from Dish HD Absolute. This will help those of us weighing our options on sticking or moving from Dish. Scott my...

    Software upgrade ever?

    Not giving up hope..... just a get a little nervous to see a rushed software "update" that disabled even more features. The entire project has been changed so dramtically.... its a classic case of some engineers getting management super hyped to the point that they announce something...

    Software upgrade ever?

    You know this box currently does remind me of the 721. The 721 had a ton of disabled features to make the box stable. I think the r and d time was getting too long and cuts had to be made to rush it out the door. I git a feeling if we don't see big strides by Xmas it will mean the 922...

    Hd Absolute, terrestrial move.

    You could in April. I did. You WILL have you fight for it. If they accidentally change your plan your toast. I called in three times to be able to move my dish to my new home and get new boxes. Be VERY nice on the phone and you have a shot. They will tell you that even an install...

    So who's jumping ship? and a message to Charlie

    And those Birds are a drop in the bucket....:cool: Another point. I am sure they had to redesign and upgrade those birds to accomodate more HD....something they wouldn't have done unless there was a need. I'm not defending Charlie 100 percent though. The price increases this year are...

    Sling Player for Android... 922 support?

    Looks like I am stuck with paying 30 bucks..... I downloaded this on release day. Whats up with the bait and switch Dish? If not bait and switch it is a heck of a way to make your customers confused. Hopefully Scott will have more info. I was waiting for this app for my Evo because of the...

    Do you think the 922 is ready for prime time yet?

    I have to say my experience has overall been positive. However, I think my experience is also unique. I had my 922 installed when we moved across town. It was installed within 3 days of it being released by the local Dish retailer in Ohio. We had not moved yet so the 922 got to sit by...

    922 users opinion thread

    Figured this thread would help Dish and their development of the 922 for those of us in the "extended" beta :). Examples that first come to mind are: 1) Guide - Do you like the new setup and style of the guide? What features are missing that you wish you had available? 2) Usability -...

    HD Absolute = No 922?

    Ok well.... Here is the lowdown...... I called in after getting that answer in chat and got lucky on the second try. However, I believe that currently it is a glitch in the computer system that us lucky few are getting in on. While I was on the phone the rep was nice enough to tell me...
