So teh fact that I have Mediacom for internet means I will never get this app to work on my tablet or droid phone.

I went with our local retailer, he is the one that told me he only installs HD receivers in my area...if I would have called in, I would have got the HD DVR and one HD. Unless I wanted to pay for another HD at 99 bucks each.

My remote will not power off thee DVR, it does controls the tv fine, but the one button off should shut off the box too, but it don't.

So how is it different to blame the newbies for the regulars getting price hikes, when the Regulars on here are calling in to get a better deal?

OK...now you have me hooked Satelliteguys...an Android app too? You guys ROCK....I've been away too long.

I am one of those evil newbies that just joined DTV I was a Dish network customer for MANY years, and switched to Mediacom cable for a year......boy what a mistake that was. Cable TV is just not the answer any more, if there is an outage, it's two days before your back up and running, and you...

So plug in a linksys type reciever for my wireless network? Plug into the USB on the back of the receiver and it will find the wireless network? no software to install on the 722?

OK, now tell me how to hook up when the router is across the room from the 722 and the other receivers are upstairs?

Internet connection I don't have home phones, but I have highspeed internet of course. Is there a way to connect my receivers to a wireless network in my home? I'm not going to run cat5 cable or USB from my router to all of these receivers.

I am leasing a HD DVR dual tuner (722), I own a 322 dual tuner, and now I am buying a 211 HD receiver for a total of three receivers, but 5 tuners. What SHOULD my fees be?

E* is Echostar (Dishnetwork)

Ya, I just noticed that there is a one time fee of $50.00 to add a tuner for an off-air antenna to a D* receiver. E* has tuners built into their HD DVR's already, there was no extra charge for hooking up an off-air antenna. (Since E* has my locals in HD now) D* does not offer my locals at all...

I like the DVR for the whole house idea, I can get a HD DVR for my Man cave, and another HD receiver for the living room, then 3 other SD receivers for the kids room etc. The DVR recordings won't play on those SD receivers though right? It looks like a no-brainer right now to switch in my...

I have been with E* for several years, recently moved, and I took them with me, Now my commitment (After moving) is up July 19th so I want to switch to D* Costs have always been an issue with me. E* keeps adding fees and telling me that D* is doing the same, but even higher charges are coming...

Accuweather was a much better source of ACCURATE Weather, Weather.com is a HORRIBLE web site that is so full of advertising, it won't run on my computer at work (Firewall don't like all the pop-ups and ads) owns the Weather Channel? I'm done watching that channel too now.
