    Dish equipment charge

    I currently have a dual HD/SD 720 DVR and a dual sd 311 receiver and pay $14 equipment rental to D....if I buy my own receivers, will they drop the equipent rental or will they want to charge me for the dish on the roof? $100 plus bill each month has go to go.

    OK - next question. Since I was transferred to Dish by AT&T and did not sign a contract with Dish - can I cancel anytime I want?

    ViP222k reciever

    I'm thinking about upgraging my upstairs rec'r to a ViP222K from a SD 322. How is the reliability on the 222K? Anyone have any thoughts? Since I already have a Vip722 DVR downstairs is the switch out just swaping equipment or is programming involved? I'd like to be able to do it myself if I can...

    Folders on an EHD

    You can rename the files all to Kennedy Funeral and save them to EHD. It won't change the individual descriptions, but will put them all together in a folder "Kennedy Funeral"

    VIP722 and antenna

    My ViP722 DVR picks up many channels in the VHF range. For example 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 - but they are actually digitally broadcast in the UHF range and the 722 converts them -- I think that's how it works? Others may disagree

    OTA scan Don't know about the 622, but on the 722 you have to hit done when the scan is done. That puts the new channels into the guide - at least on the 722

When I turn to those channels, my 722 ViP DVR receiver runs through the whole search process and then I get a message that "There is no need to call, we are working to resolve the problem".

    Ciel 2 problem or Local HD ??

    Here in south central Indiana, we receive local HD channels from Indianapolis. We intially were uplinked to E5 at 129. About a week ago Indy HD channels were switched to Ciel 2 at 129. Since then I've been noticing "picture breaks" in between scenes of shows (HD only). It's almost like the...
