    remote not working with joey

    It has been dropped in the past but not recently. Just tried pairing my other remote and will not pair with joey. I did unpair the original remote before trying to pair second remote.

    remote not working with joey

    Did google search and tried un-pairing then pairing several times. Tried manual un-pairing several times but did not work. Tried rebooting joey and did not work. When I push any button on remote, the closed captioning turns on and If press any button the second time, closed captioning turns off...

    Price increases in February 2014 (UPDATED!)

    Thanks, just got off chat and you are correct. I mentioned that I may have to switch to Directv due to cost, hoping he might throw me a bone, no luck. Directv is quoting me $59.81/month(12 months) for XTRA - No Locals, genie dvr and genie mini, free install, free shipping and handling, 3 months...

    Dish charges shipping for broken receivers? And, other musings on my super-dead 722K.

    I couldn't agree more. I will not pay for a protection plan to protect equipment that I do not own. If it breaks, they can replace it at their cost. If they don't want to pay the cost , well, the competition will gladly accept a new excellent paying account. I recently upgraded to a hopper/joey...

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    While I'm here, do you think my replacement 722 being delivered today will be new or refurb?

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    While you are correct, to my aging eyes the difference is night and day:D

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    I could be wrong but I think he is talking about the $15.00 shipping/handling fee

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    Thanks, just finished with chat. They are sending me a new (?) 722K. $15 for s/h. They would waive the $15 shipping charge if I signed up for for insurance @$7 month. Why would I want to pay to insure their receiver that I lease??? No mention of new 24 month contract, so I printed out the chat...

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    Thanks guys, I also just remembered I'm one of the few people (according to dish) who enjoy's watching compression free HD local channels:D, which I understand is still NOT available in the hopper system.:deadhorse:

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    You are correct Teehar, the hdmi output of the 722 has failed. I tried anew hdmi cable with no results, then tried component cables directly from 722 to tv and there is a picture. I haven't followed this site in a while, so now before I call dish, I need to find out my best options as I am out...

    How does one know if 722 is dead

    Zero issues for about three years, now when I switch my Yamaha avr to satellite input the screen is static and intermittent flashes. My PS3 input works fine, did not check blu ray input but think that is OK as well. Also the 211K upstairs works fine. I did unplug for 10 seconds, and numerous...

    SatelliteGuys FIRST LOOK - DISH's Hopper and Joey

    I agree about the turn around time, 1 a week if I'm lucky, but i would miss the Velocity channel if I canceled.

    Sorry Dish, It's a No-Go For Me

    My system (out of contract) is similar to yours and I agree with you, I will not be ordering any hopper/joey equipment any time soon. I would strongly consider D if they offered my local channels.

    Call from Dish (I think) last night

    I've had zero issues with my 722 and 211. Interesting that the rep wanted the 722 info and not the 211. And for what it's worth, I'm neither a fool or paranoid. If you had listened to my conversation with the rep you probably would not be quite as skeptical. I had about 1% doubt that this was...

    Call from Dish (I think) last night

    Like I said, I have no problem with a new commitment, and I can confirm my appoint when I log onto my Dish account, so I assume it must be Dish. I can always cancel, my install isn't until next Sunday.
