Just switched to DirecTV last week. Not having a ton of problems so far - just 2 annoyances: 1. TLC HD stutters every couple of minutes. It's only for maybe a half second. This is happening on a non-DVR (H25), viewed live. 2. On demand/downloaded recordings skip randomly. They'll lock up for 10...

Just got my install done today. When I try to watch any of the premium channels on my living room TV I get a message that "Your TV does not support this program's content protection." It works fine on my other TVs. This setup worked fine on Dish Network + HBO. My receiver is an Onkyo HT-S6100...

The removal of AMC has made me re-evaluate my TV watching needs and I've realized that I'm not getting $100/month+ value for the amount of stuff I watch, especially with the removal of Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, Mad Men, and The Walking Dead. Reviewing the Dish Network site, I see that new...

I only want to replace the 722's (not the 722k), so I'd just need 1 Hopper and 3 Joeys. What's the price on that?

I have a $ question. I currently have 6 outlets being served: - 2 722's - 1 722k I just signed a new 2 year deal maybe 6 months ago, to the get the 722k. Would it be cost effective for me to swap the 2 722's for a hopper + 3 joeys? I'm currently paying $32/month in receiver fees.

So Dish just called me and said that "the latest report from my receiver indicated I may be having problems." So, they're sending someone out (complimentary) to service it next week. I haven't noticed any issues. Has anyone heard of this before? Are they trying to pull one over on me somehow?

Dish doesn't carry my locals for CW and PBS in HD. Is it possible for me to get them without an OTA antenna? Maybe a superstation?

Is this possible without using the locks/creating a custom favorites list by hand? It seems like this is something that should be an option.

How do I change which tuner will record a show? I've tried enabling/disabling Record Plus and changing the tuner it's set to, but it always wants to record with tuner 1. I want to set it to tuner 2, but don't see an option for this when setting up a timer. I'm in dual mode.
