    Pricing Update from Dish Network

    Scott, do you happen to know when they started including the lease fee for the first receiver in the programming fee? Per above I have the silver/200 package and am being charged a 7.00 lease fee on my one receiver a VIP 622. At one point in the past I'm sure that each and every receiver had...

    Pricing Update from Dish Network

    I've been on the phone for 45 min. now arguing about the receiver fee. The good news is that they did take care of the platinum fee and I have all the same HD channels for $10 instead of $20. They claim that the 7.00 is a lease fee for the first receiver and is a correct charge. I went back...

    Closed Caption on Mute

    Unless I am missing something there is no way to set up the 622 (or 722) to switch to CC mode when hitting the mute button on the dvr remote. Getting to the CC preference menu is a 3 or 4 step process, and in my opinion takes too long to make it convenient. I think that CC is very useful and...
