    Any way to get decent deal these days? Has "Dish'n it up" been dumped down the drain?

    Back on this forum for the first time in a few, maybe several years - have had no real problems and was basically on cruise control with Dish until... My rates went way up a month or so ago after my latest commitment ended. I've been with Dish for close to 20 years, and it used to be when one...

    Need quick answer: Will 722 EHD recordings carry over to Hopper 3?

    Yep, this is not the right time to try an SSD experiment lol. I'm using that powered adapter with a standard 500GB SATA III HD. The 722 formatted it no problem so I think I'm in business. Thanks for the quick responses everyone.

    Need quick answer: Will 722 EHD recordings carry over to Hopper 3?

    Thanks people, starting archive now. Luckily lots of old crap I don't need so will archive the important stuff first! Hmmm, wonder if I can use my powered SATA to USB 3.0 adapter and connect my spare 120GB SSD drive... (I'm a computer tech, so have lots of toys/adapters/parts around).

    Need quick answer: Will 722 EHD recordings carry over to Hopper 3?

    My 722 VIP is being replaced with a Hopper 3 tomorrow (yeah!) . Dish phone rep said the install tech will take care of transferring DVR recordings from my 722 to the Hopper. They said I cannot use a USB drive to transfer, as the Hopper will format the EHD and I'll lose all my recording. However...

    Adapter to use Stratus 7 with old Sportster Boombox/Exec Dock?

    Is there an adapter available that allows a Stratus 7 to plug into old Sportster gear, as shown in the pic? I have an old boombox, executive doc, and car adapter I'd like to use with it. I still have an old Sportster too, and if an adapter exists, it will make all my stuff compatible. And yes...

    Changing a recording from TV1 to TV2

    "I don't understand why there isn't a way to set it up so you can designate to record to TV1 or TV2 and change that as you see fit." That's been my biggest gripe about the Dish DVR's for years. I figured it was a matter of time 'till they gave us better control over this, but apparently not...

    Search by title on DVR for BBMP content.

    How can I find if a specific movie is availble to rent to DVR via BBMP? On the DVR, you can specify genres etc, but then you have to scroll through tons of stuff. I tried on BBMP section of Dish website, not much luck there either. I'd really like to key in a specific movie name (like you can...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass - Questions Thread

    But the legacy BB account doesn't have your Dish account info in it. I *think* they do it based on email address? It did seem rather magical that it just found and linked up the account (unless I'm forgetting a BB logon in the middle). Doppy - maybe change your BB acct's email address so its...

    Thanks - that worked. I was just about to cancel my BB account before signing up for the Dish version - glad I didn't!

    Blockbuster Movie Pass - Questions Thread

    Searched a bunch as figured this has been covered but can't find it... I'm an existing member of the Blockbuster disc by mail program. If I want to switch to the Dish/Blockbuster deal (which is a better deal), do I just cancel my regular BB Online account then go to Dish website and add it...

    Dish Cinema VOD not working - seems like it's playing but no video/audio

    "Is this happening with live programming and DVR recordings, as well, or any other VOD content?" Regular live programming and DVR are fine. Receiver model = VIP722 was the content fully downloaded before you attempted to view it? Not completely sure - could not find status anywhere...

    Dish Cinema VOD not working - seems like it's playing but no video/audio

    I'm trying Dish Cinema for the first time. I have broadband setup etc OK (I'm a computer/network tech by trade). Short Version: Trying to watch Predators (hey its free!), screen is black/no audio. But if I hit Pause/Info/FF/RR it acts like it would if it was playing something (little pause...

    Dish Cinema False Charge

    "I got my account PPV/VOD credit limit set to $0." How does one do that? On the website or is there an option buried in the setup menu somewhere? Thanks1
