    The 866-974-0752 number is now disconnected, however the 866-974-0769 number got me to a friendly guy in NJ. I have been with Dish over 18 years he said and qualified for $15.00 a month off of my AT200 package, plus I asked for (and got) the additional $5.00 a month off my Hopper 3 fee. With the...

    Hopper Upgrades

    Dish customer since Nov, 2000 with a long list of receivers used over the years. Time to get updated to a Hopper W/Sling and one Joey to replace my 722 & 211. Could I get a PM from DIRT as to options, costs, etc. to make this happen? Thanks, (and Happy New Year!)

    L623 is out

    I also have the exact same issue on my WD Ext HD, can't delete or move programs off of it. It appears to be deleting the programs, however when you check to see if it did indeed delete, it is still there. Transferring the programs back to the DVR works, however it leaves the copy on the external...

    Rumor Alert - Dish to offer all locals!

    Do you think this might include our missing PBS-HD locals in some areas?

    VIP-622 freezing & locking up.. Dish says its "known issue"?

    Mine started out with the freezing, or locking up, then moved on to the inability to select my recordings. Got an error each time I hit DVR twice, however it would come back after repeated resets. Then the big one happened, lost all recordings and timers, they were just gone. Suspect the hard...

    Dish Mover Moved Me Early

    Figures, if something simple can be screwed up, Dish will find a way to do so. Thanks for the help,

    Dish Mover Moved Me Early

    The issue was I lost my CA DMA HD channels (and did not pick up the AZ DMA HD) and the guide was on the wrong time zone, not workable. Had to put it back as before I requested the Dish Mover. Again, what I want to do is schedule a Dish Mover appointment now and not have the move made...

    Dish Mover Moved Me Early

    I will be moving from CA to AZ next month and because I will be going back and forth some, I went ahead and scheduled a Dish Mover appointment for my new address in AZ now on a day next month where I knew I would be in AZ. Well, I was moved right away, my guide shows Mountain Time instead of...

    Intermittent problem -- check switch 622

    Big_Ed posted he had the Dish 200 and 3 sat SW-21, both that do not exist to my knowledge and I have the DPP-44 for my 2 622's, me thinks Roadwarrior got us two mixed-up. However his advice is spot on for the most part. I do not think a LNB is involved as my other 622 was fine at the time and...

    Intermittent problem -- check switch 622

    I got the same error last night, tried to cancel out, but it did a switch check anyway. While 622 #1 was doing the auto switch check, my second 622 was working just fine, even allowed me to switch channels. Something seems strange that #1 had the error and #2 did not, both go to the same DPP44.

    129 Satellite, which dish?

    Duh! I had to go out and take a look, I did use the original W-bracket's center mount. Don't know why I was thinking I used an I-bracket, sorry for the confusion. It was the 500 that had an I-bracket on it. :sleeo

    129 Satellite, which dish?

    In a word, probably. Your mileage may vary, but the 129 on a Dish 1000 is not going to be very solid anywhere. Check out the other posts on the 129 signal reception issues.
