I just had to replace a 722 receiver with a reman from Dish, due to failed power supply. The problem is that my external hard drive keeps "disappearing". The 722 recognizes it when the unit if first plugged in, then a few hours later it no longer shows up on the DVR menu and the light on the...

All Shar-pei's are nice looking! Thanks (her name btw is hap-pei, our latest rescuei)

1. Is there a limit as to how many receivers a dish subscriber home address can have? 2. Does Dish offer any special programs for second/vacation homes? Such as subscriptions which can be turned off and on during a given year? Thanks

I have both a 622 and 722....is one preferable?

If I invest in a second dish/lnb outdoor setup, can I move my receiver - say on weekends - between my home and my second location? Thanks ! Curmudgeon

Probably too late to help original poster. I just went thru this whole process. Uverse is definitely a better value (more channels, lower price) even at their regular pricing. With promo pricing and $250 cash back it's a GREAT deal. IF....IF....the tech side is up to par. Mine was not...

Yes, he is.but you must be over 55 or 60 to understand it!

I called a couple of weeks ago and wound up speaking to someone in India who kept telling me I hadn't replied to "my letter' in time, so I would have to pay $100 for a visit from a tech. Of course the fact that I never received any letter had no effect whatsoever. Then she wanted to sell me...

Uhhhh, 132 is TCM SD and always has been 191 is not HD 202 is not HD And when I use the "all channels" guide, 375 and 380 do not show up.

If you've "been with dish for years" with an antenna mounted 300 ft from the house, then adding HD should work ...assuming you still have clear line of sight to the birds involved.

Homeplug The built in Homeplug is also defeated by multiple outlet converters...eg; the kind that convert two outlets into 6. And powerstrips. If your wall socket is powering more than two things, it seems the homeplug chip will NOT connect thru to your router. Breakers will NOT affect...

This ruling has been in effect for YEARS! C-band/big dish got hit over 10 years ago and the judge is right...Dish has simply ignored the law. Comparison with newspapers is bogus. Newspapers don't pay a franchise fee to a network to print the news; the news in the Times is NOT different than...

Happy as a clam As a newbie, I paid just $300. And at that price it's FINE with me if it's a closeout or a discontinued model. I paid more than that for a S-VHS recorder a coupla years ago. And let's not even talk about the prices of C-band electronics. Big smile on this users face...
