that agrees with what I found online in regards to my receiver, fine tune on 700. thanks

it is activated

I just re-activated my Shaw Direct (old star choice) account after 4 years away (I live in FL) and I have 2 quick questions that someone might be able to answer for me. I have a 75cm dish w/ 2 LNB DSR505HD 1. Just checking on sat strength to expect in central Florida example right now on...

A couple of quick questions. 1) How is the Joey connected to the Hopper? 2) Any idea of the upgrade cost from currently having a single 722K thanks Bruce

it was hooked up directly through the router

Well, the repairman got the DVR up and running. It appears to be a software issue with units sent out by fed ex for replacement. USE * Menu to get out of the set-up and manually do it. BUT The SLING adapter now works. So it appears the problem was the receiver afterall.

DISH has switched my account back to my old receiver so it will probably not update anyway now

That didn't work

The EHD is plugged in now but wasn't the first few attempts, then I called them and they activated it and then I think I plugged it in. So I will try it again. I will unplug and reset the DVR then have it start up after unplugging EHD while it is off. Let you know Thanks..

My God they send me a new DVR and it won't download the software to even get started. What the F@@k....

Contacted DISH customer service and they went through the usual reset this reset, reset that and are now sending me a new DVR to see if that fixes the problem. (luckily I have the protection plan). I will keep the group informed. My set-up is sling adapter USB to DVR cabled to Netgear WNDR3700...

Checked IP address of WAN, both the same

Reveived replacement sling adapter yesterday and as of this morning there is still nor light on the unit and no firmware upgrade. When I use my DISH android app now instead of telling me that I need a sling adpater it just crashes, if I try and watch anything. I can control my DVR by...

They final raised their hands in disgust and are sending me a new sling adapter to try. I am with Brighthouse and use a new Netgear WNDR3700 router that works tremendously. I am sure it is the adapter or the receiver. The receiver is connected to Dishonline and I can see my recordings just not...

Been connecting it directly cable modem at night. It shows obline and I can download movies but still no sling adapter firmware update. ughhh
