What is weird is my VIP 211 is getting everything but my 722 is borked for 129 ???

yea, those are two of the most worthwhile channels I have.

It's only two. One for each of the kids bedrooms. The 722 is for the living room HDTV and the master bedroom SD, the 211 is for the game room HDTV.

Going now. Thanks! Wow, it looks like my programming is what I want to keep... kind of wanted to cut some cost, especially since I have a 5 receiver (722, 211, 311, 301) setup it's getting a bit expensive! Oh well, I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks again for the pointer.

Hey guys, I have Top 250, Platinum and it looks like they have added the HD 250 Free. If I remove Platinum, does anyone know exactly what I loose? Also, if I go from 250 to 200 what (if anything) do I loose out of the HD Free package? I really wish this stuff was easier to read on the site...

What? Free? I just cancelled platinum this morning along with making some other cost reducing changes because they were charging me $10 a month. I had the gold package, Platinum, Starz and locals and my bill has been $120 a month. Too rich for me :(

They told me the same about only being able to have 4 leased tuners, but I did get a free upgrade from 625 to 722. See this post for the deal. I also got the HBO/Starz for three months thing.

If that's the case, they will be adding another switch. I am buying the 311 because he said I could only have 4 leased tuners on my account. He said my only options were to either buy a new HD reciever for $290 or buy a new 311 for $99. That way I will still have 4 leased tuners and then...

Ok, I just got off the phone with the Dish rep. He says my 625 is being fed by a single line so the DP34 is ok for adding another tuner. He said that even if they needed to add another switch, it is also included at no additional cost to me. They are upgrading the 625 to a 722 and making me...

The specs for the DP34 state "Up to three DP34 Switches can be "trunked" together, for connections up to twelve tuner inputs (12 single-tuner receivers (DISH 301 or DISH 501), or a combination of single-tuner receivers and two-tuner receivers". Would there be any downside to trunking one more...

Ok, the dish says 1000, the switch is DP-34. It's interesting though that diagnostics says Dish 500? I'm still not sure if it's a .2 though. I don't know how to tell. Here's a blurry shot I took with my phone this morning...

No second dish. I will post the dish and switch types tonight when I get home to check.

It's a 1000. Not sure about .2 and what do you mean by wing? The dish was installed around 3+ years ago. Looks like replacing the 311 with a 222 would be the simplest and least expensive. Can I do that under the Dish'n it up? What's the difference between the 222 and 222k ? Thanks again!

Thanks, both TVs would be used a lot at the same time. The cable run between them would be about 70' so I wouldn't think this would work very well.

If I added another 211 would I need the dpp44 switch that s10zr2 mentioned? Is ther extra cost associated with that?
