Thanks guys, for all the comments. I don't use OTA so it looks like the K model is of limited benefit.

I just signed up for Dish after having dropped my service for a while. I had a plain 722 model. Now I have a 722k model receiver. Can anyone tell me the advantages of the k model versus the plain 722? Thanks for any comments!

Thank you, TheKrell, for your response.

I used to use Dish, now I have no satellite service at all. I'm trying to determine if either DISH or DIRECT have a capability of sending a HD signal down a coax cable from their DVR. I had a DISH 722 model with the Tuner 2 that could only send a SD signal. Has anything changed at DISH or...

Ignore that comment! Go ahead, ask your question and ignore unhelpful posters. Not all posters are like this guy. If you can't ask questions, you can't learn anything. I'm not a satellite nut case so I've had to ask questions in order to learn.

I've learned that the worst position to deal with is when you're already a customer with satellite, cable modem, and cell companies. In order to get the best deal from DISH, you need to cancel out of your account after your initial commitment is over. Ship DISH your receiver back but tell them...

I'm from NM. As for locals, I discovered that when I was camping west of Phoenix, all I had to do was call DISH and give them any ole' address in Phoenix as a temporary address. DISH then gave me Phoenix locals. This is how you can get ABC, NBC and CBS and FOX when you're several hundred...

I had a very similar problem on a recent camping trip. After suspecting a bad LNB like this guy, I eventually figured out that my skew was off because the dish itself had jumped off this little metal tit on the mounting bracket so gwtill, if you haven't already fixed your problem, carefully...

I guess I don't understand this stuff. I thought improvement were on the way. Thanks very much for all the responses

If I understand the future a little, I think that OTA channels will be digital in Feb., which will produce much higher picture quality on HD TVs than SD. This makes me wonder how Dish can charge money for all these crappy SD channels I'm paying for. I've seen for months that Dish has bragged...

Let's get practical here. Most readers here know a lot more about Dish than I do but I think I have an idea for this guy. I got charged $5 once for not having my receiver hooked up to a phone line as I take my receiver to a second home and sometimes in a travel trailer for 5 weeks at a time...

Look, if you don't like the channel, don't watch it. Take your politics to DailyKos. You'll be comfortable there.

What do you mean by "AT100 or AT200?"

Can anyone tell me why Dish is unable to provide so basic a service as Fox News in HD?
