Dish Sling

[Luken8r]

I just got a new 722 receiver today and I would like to add it to my sling account (dish.sling.com)
When I go to add a new receiver, the first page asks me to enter the last 10 digits of my box ID

R00_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _

The only problem is my box starts with R01 and not R00 so this doesnt work.
WTH?

Check back label, could be SW error.

Dish told me they are working on this problem, made 5 calls and finally found someone to admit it was their problem.
I have an R01 receiver also. Just got it a week ago.

I was told everything from it was my internet provider to I didn't have it connected correctly. At least someone else has the same problem...

Did you try putting in the rest of the numbers after the R01?

I tried it and it does not work.

I guess LUKEN8r and myself have the latest and greatest receivers that are waayyy better that everyone else's...

I am supposed to receive a replacement 722 tomorrow. Here's to hoping it either has R00 or they fix it real soon.

email ceo @ dishnetwork.com (without the spaces) and tell them the problem. They seem to be the most helpful if anything can be done now.
