    Why didn't we ditch TWC when we had the chance?

    TWC- the weather equivalent of MTV.

    TWC customer- would a 2H/2J conversion be seamless?

    Current Time Warner Cable customer...two DVRs and two slave units...whole house DVR accessibility. Question-- would the installation of a multiple Hopper/Joey setup be relatively seamless? I seem to recall reference to the Dish system needing two coax to each box throughout the house? This...

    How long with Dish?

    1996. Regrettably I am ending my relationship as a Dish tech was out this morning at the home into which I just moved and determined the install would be quite complex and potentially would require holes to be drilled into my walls, vents reconfigured, etc. Unfortunately the builder of this...

    Program guide off by one hour

    Thanks for the suggestions. You guys were on the right path...actually dahenny nailed it. I am moving in a couple of weeks and recently scheduled the new install at the home to which I'm moving. I checked my online profile at the Dish website and I am already being shown as living in the new...

    Program guide off by one hour

    Just tried this and it didn't resolve. Weird.

    Program guide off by one hour

    The program guide/receiver time has been off by one hour since Sunday. I thought it might be a premature DST shift, but the time is one hour behind- not ahead as I would expect in the spring when the time changes. Any others experiencing this erroneous time shift? Thanks.

    Am I ready for Hoppers and Joeys (plus cable internet)?

    I have attached a picture I took of the network panel box at the home into which I am moving. I would appreciate understanding what I can expect as a result of this wiring configuration. The rooms in the house all have faceplates with a combination of R45 and coax outlets (no real consistency-...

    Adding Hoppers/Joeys to existing home wiring

    I am moving into a five-year old home in a couple of weeks. I have yet to thoroughly investigate the home's wiring but understand it is set up similarly to most newer homes in that every room is wired with a faceplate enabling connectivity to a couple of CAT 5e outlets and a Coax connection or...

    What should I do with older Dish receivers?

    Thanks for the input. I have a 510, 508, 501, and 2200. I am going to PM you on a related matter.

    What should I do with older Dish receivers?

    One additional question...should I leave the Smartcards in the receivers or should I retain possession of them? I assume someone else using these receivers would obtain new Smartcards from Dish but I'm uncertain. Thanks.

    What should I do with older Dish receivers?

    Thanks. I have sent a PM such that we can work out the details. Thanks to all for the advice regarding.

    What should I do with older Dish receivers?

    I've been a Dish customer since 1995 or so...and have accumulated a number of receivers over the years. My current receivers are leased but prior to that the half dozen or so receivers I have amassed were not. I am moving in the next several weeks and am curious as to the options that might be...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    Just got the Roku (no HDMI cable) and $10 off/12 months. Impressed so far with the Roku unit.

    My 722K has suddenly gone south in past two days - freezes during playback and reboots itself

    Replacement arrived last night and it was a refurbished VIP 722. The replacement process has improved from the last time I had to swap out a failed receiver years ago as the instructions were quite lucid (kudos to Dish). It took about an hour to get everything up and running again and at this...

    My 722K has suddenly gone south in past two days - freezes during playback and reboots itself

    Unfortunately the HD is now toast and moving recordings to the EHD is not possible. :-(

    My 722K has suddenly gone south in past two days - freezes during playback and reboots itself

    Fortunately Dish is sending out a replacement receiver for my failed one as well. Perhaps I've been lucky not to have experienced a failure with it before now if there are durability issues with the 722? A couple of questions- 1) Can I take the external HD from my other receiver (VIP612) and...

    My 722K has suddenly gone south in past two days - freezes during playback and reboots itself

    Thanks for the reply. Although I now don't think it is the software...I just spoke with the missus and she indicated it was failing again this morning. At one point she saw a screen which indicated "hard drive failure". She is going to call and hopefully they will send out a replacement unit as...

    My 722K has suddenly gone south in past two days - freezes during playback and reboots itself

    I am experiencing the same issues over the past 24 hours with my 722. Random freezes/reboots, all my recorded shows disappearing- and then reappearing, intermittent messages suggesting I don't have a Program Guide, etc. I have manually rebooted as well as unplugged power and hope that resolves...

    No sound on channels 5411, 5441, & 5443?

    Follow-up...after a little more investigating I discovered if I set the Audio Output to "PCM" (vs. "Dolby Digital/PCM") the audio is present on those channels. Some notes: I have a 612 receiver and am using the optical audio out (in conjunction with HDMI for video). The HDMi is connected...

    No sound on channels 5411, 5441, & 5443?

    This afternoon I am not getting the audio feed from channels 5411, 5441, and 5443. Video is fine and audio is ok on all the other channels. Are others experiencing this limited lack of audio? Thanks.

    Problems with BD discs from BB?

    Tried to watch "The Adjustment Bureau" tonight-- wouldn't play on one of my BD players (Panasonic DMP-BD35) and only made it through 27 minutes on my LG BD-570 before freezing. Cleaned the disc, etc. and got the same result. Are problem discs a frequent issue with BB? In over two years with...

    Multiple channels missing tonight? (Now Back)

    I'm seeing issues with that channel (along with others- see my related post). Video is very choppy.

    Multiple channels missing tonight? (Now Back)

    Multiple channels missing tonight? TNT, ESPN, HDNet... all dark for me on both my receivers. I noticed severe pixellation on the first two for 10-15 minutes and then-- poof-- nothing. All other channels are ok. These are the high-def feeds of these channels. Any one else with this issue...

    Why so many redundant sports channels / Blackout question

    Thanks for the answer. It disgusts me that Dish has chosen to deprive its customers of a quality video experience for these games. Maybe the new guy will correct this deficiency.
