I like Fox News but not enough to pay more for it. We've been thinking about dropping pay TV service for a while now. With the end of college football season and pending rate increases this might be the motivation to pull the plug.

My 722K has been freezing/locking up and rebooting for several months now. Had it replaced (twice). I never thought the OTA channels would have something to do with it. Why don't DISH support people know to have us check OTA channel signals? And why can't they fix the software so the whole...

Me too My 722k was locking up and rebooting about a month ago. Also, some of our recordings would suddenly stop playing half way through the show even though there were several minutes left in the recording. I complained to Dish and they sent out a "new" receiver. Now this one is doing the...

Ever since the switch from daylight savings time earlier this month I noticed that a program I have set to record each week stopped working. The Daily Schedule showed the timer was skipped because the event didn't exist. I checked with program's originator (BYUTV) and see that their online...

If you're trying to record more than two programs at the same time you'll want to connect your DVD recorder to your 222 receiver. You can then record two shows on the 722 and another one on the 222. Or you can purchase a OTA add-on module which will add two terrestrial tuners to your 722...

Didn't get an email. Checked my account and no new certificates there either :(

Dang! Had I know I could drop the plan without a penalty I would have done it a long time ago. It was $6 when I signed up then they raised it to $7 without warning.

Not sure about that. I have 3Mbs download speed but I can't seem to get the HD movies available via Internet on DISH to work. They start to download but never finish.

Is it really there or does DRA/DO just get it from your receiver?

I have to admit, if it wasn't for Sat Guys I would not be a DISH customer today. I've learned to check the forum whenever having a problem with my service to see if others are having the same problem. Too many CSRs saying "Oh no, we've never had anyone with that problem before ..."

Back to re-roofing and moving dishes ... Before I had my roof repaired six years ago I went ahead and moved the dish from the roof to the side of the house because I didn't want the roofers messing with it. I was surprised how easy it was to re-aim the dish. I had marked the azimuth and...

So I guess since I signed up with a good credit rating I don't have to worry about my account being downgraded if I miss payments. Awesome!!! :D:D:D

Pay TV might have to resort to some form of alacart some day to complete with Internet providers.

Got it via online chat. Thanks Sat Guys!

I had a similar experience when I upgraded to HD. I signed up for a 2 year contract (because my original contract was long done) and was told I would be getting a 722k receiver. But the installer came with a 625 (I think that's the model) and tried to convince me it was exactly the same except...
