I'm upgrading from a VIP622. If I get a 722 my monthly bill stays the same. A 922 will raise my bill by $4 a month. Sling will not be used. At all, ever. Is the 922 worth the extra $48 per year? Phil

I got a replacement remote for my 612 but forgot how to sync it to the receiver. I did this earlier this year with a new remote for my 622 and I remember pushing system info on the receiver and something on the remote at the same time. Can someone please remind me how? Phil

I searched yesterday but only found some very old threads where it was mentioned (and it was mentioned that it it DIDN'T display at that time). I'm considering DigitalPath.com for our internet and phone. I'm not even sure it would work until they send someone out to check (need line-of-site...

I've just upgraded our RV to HD and that included a 1000.4 dish. How fragile are the LNBs? I've been using a 2 LNB dish and I've been pretty careful to not knock the LNBs around when it's stowed in the RV "basement". I planned on wrapping the LNB assembly in a towel, seperate from the rest...

I'm Dish'n Up to a VIP612 (from a 501) for our RV. The installer is coming tomorrow, since it was a change to HD they wouldn't just ship the unit and a 3-LNB Dish. Initially I figured on just putting the dish in the garage and having the 612 'see' 110 and 119 only on my old dish, mostly...

The wife got the phone offer yesterday and said she'd have me call when I got home. And I did. The CSR had mentioned to her that our old "legacy" equipment could be upgraded at no charge and "fees" would be waived. My "legacy" is a 501 that still works great. I call and get someone in...

I'm using a 501 receiver for my RV. I bought a new Dish 500 Twin LNB dish from an authorized dealer (the same one I got my first Dish equipment from over a decade ago). I can only pick up one bird (119). I haven't tried picking up 110 by itself because trees limited my view of the sky. (I was...

We're having some intermittant problems with our VIP622 and are looking for experience and opinions. So far, no rhyme or reason to them... 1) 60 Minutes set to record, we're watching the other tuner. I hit PIP and the station recording is black. No pic at all. I swap and get the same...

Bobby gave me what I asked for on an earlier thread (thanks again). I wanted a list of channels for each satellite and got it. I had no idea there were SO MANY channels on each one! I should've said why. I signed up with Dish when they first started. Had a 301. No installers back...

I tried 'search', but for the threads I thought may have the answer, every time I'd click on one only the first post would come up, even tho the search page would show 6 or 25 or whatever. I am sure I've seen where I can print a list of which channels come off of which satellites but I can't...

I live off-grid, therefore all electrical loads get turned off when not in use. I began with Dish when they first started because they told me "no problem" cutting power every night. Primestar, on the other hand, told me if they "interrogated" their receiver three times with no answer, I'd be...

TiVo soars after court victory over Dish - U.S. business- msnbc.com Is this some elaborate scam? Or will Dish appeal again and keep my DVR working? What's up... I came here after reading that article and didn't see any mention of it. And which are the lucky 192,000 DVRs that get to remain...

The last few weeks AFIK, whenever the program guide is being downloaded to my 622, the progress bar ALMOST gets to the end and then stops. I've waited over 5 minutes for it to finish, and that's after at least 5 minutes to d/l up to that point (which is normal). Selecting 'cancel' gets me...

Last summer I upgraded to a 622 from Dish500 with PVR. As the installer was aligning the new dish (to pick up the third bird 129W) he said I had some trees in the way. I trimmed them until he said "ok, I got the signal". Over the past few months pixalation interference (best I can describe...

I've had this happen a few times so far, yesterday being the worst. I'm unsure if I have a problem or if this is just SOP sometimes. We are "off grid" and there's no power to the receiver (or TV or theater system or anything else) if we aren't watching, unless I leave it powered up in order to...

Hope no one is offended by such a simple question.... "glossary" didn't help. What is the "switch" that "check switch" checks? Must be in the LNB assembly since I don't see it anywhere else? Is it an electronic switch or mechanical? How does it work? And why does it sometimes need to be...

I have both a 622 and a 501. We are taking a 10 day camping trip. I have a dish for our RV but where we are going there are too many trees to see any satellites. I can take either receiver. Is there ANY way we could watch things recorded on the DVR of either unit without having it hooked...

I mentioned in another post that my imagination must be running wild because the SD picture seems WAY better than with my 501. Topcats69 posted that it "probably does look better". I've been watching for 3 days now. The picture IS better. For instance, there was always some VERY slight...

I've been a Dish customer for over 10 years and they are installing a 622 Friday. Is the install complete with necessary wires/cables or do I need to supply them? I "expected" them to be included but as a precaution asked DW to stop by BestBuy and get RGB and stereo cables. Of course, a...
