Hi guys! Long term lurker, rare poster. I just wanted to give people an update on my experience with Dish Network which can save *many* of you *TONS* of money! I have been a Dish Network customer for 2.5 years now. Once my 2 year contract ended 6 months ago I immediately called to cancel given...

I thought *I* was the one supplying the bandwidth. I have the upload speed to serve myself on the other end. How does that affect any other customers? Oh well, I guess I got my answer...

So there's no way to increase it then?

Hello, I'm a brand new Dish Network customer and am loving my Hopper with Sling! However, I do not know how to get the maximum buffer speed on Dish Anywhere. I have an internet connection of 50 mbps downstream and 25 mbps upstream. I have my Hopper with Sling hardwired with ethernet and have...

I already have the metal DishHD Gold package (I got it in conjuction with the 622), and got that package JUST before they started the $10 off for 10 months promotion and lowered the leasing price for a 622 to $199, so I payed $299 for mine without any rebate. So now I have one 622 and one 522...

Thanks guys. Kikkenit2, did you pay a trade-up price for the second one also? I don't think I am willing to pay TWO trade-up prices, especially since the first trade-up was $300 with no rebate of any kind. I'll look into the e-mail after the holidays, as whatchel1 suggested.

OK guys, here's my current situation. Right now I have one HDTV and 3 standard TVs. The HDTV and one standard TV is hooked up via a 622, and my other two standard TVs are hooked up via a 522. Notice that every TV has a DVR. This is a MUST and cannot change! Now, I'm thinking of getting...

I think I'm only looking for boxes that have a full factory warranty, so unless your boxes have that I'd rather buy them new online.

I see, so since I have 3 satellite locations I will need a DP34 switch. That's not that bad then, it looks like a $215 (receiver + switch) solution. I looked at the manual and it seems simple enough. I believe the basement is already hooked up with the coaxial cable - there's just no receiver...

OK, yes I am POSITIVE that I have the DP34 switch. I doubled checked. Chris, thanks for your suggestion, but I really would want to watch 5 different shows at the same time. So, basically, would ALL that I need to buy be another DP34 switch and 322 box? And could someone please shed some...

Bump! I'm assuming that buying a DP24 instead of the DP34 switch will not work in my situation if I elect to buy the 322 (for a total of 6 tuners), right?

A "Rain X" treatment? That sounds interesting; I'll have to check up on that...

Thanks! OK, so I am currently looking at $215 for a new 322 and DPP34 from Dishstore.net. Will I need anything else in order to do this, such as special screws or my own coaxial cabling? And will Dish do the installation for me, or must I do it myself? If they do it for me, what am I looking...

So I take it that I must buy the DPP44 switch by myself? And will Dish do the installation (and for what price)? Is there anything else that could work for me other than the expensive DPP44 switch?

I didn't think they made a dish larger than the Superdish!
