I have slowly downgraded my service over the years and eliminated all movie channels due to cost. After last night's update, now I cannot play back some of my older recorded DVR movies (like Tangled that was recorded from Starz). I had had this problem with playback from the Joey, and after...

I have not been able to watch anything that I have recorded when I used to have HBO and Starz on the Joeys. They give me a 013 error message saying that "This is a subscription channel which has not been purchased". I can watch them on the Hoppers just fine, it's just an issue with the Joeys...

This is what I thought! The thing that gets me is that I had a VIP622 and 722 before I switched to the Hopper and Joey system. Some of the movies that I am having the issue with are ones that I transferred over from the old receivers (and had had them on those old receivers for a long time)...

I recently cancelled my HBO and Starz and got the new offering for the Cinemax and Showtime, but it looks like when I try to access my recordings from those unsubscribed channels on the Joey it gives an error 013. I am able to access them from the Hopper though...I just got the Hopper/ Joey...

In our past Dish DVRs, (the 722 and 622 I believe), I had to put in about 4-5 different timers set to record the games on each different channel it may possibly play on. Is there an easier way to record a season of games or do I have to go through a do each possible channel again? What's the...

I would like some help in possibly upgrading to the new Hopper system! Thank you!

I agree!! I just switched about 2 weeks ago after having DirecTV as well. I just hated their DVR equipment, nothing but problems, so I am THRILLED by the VIP 622! And we wanted to switch to HD, but DirecTV was charging an arm and a leg for the equipment and honestly didn't seem to care if we...

No, actually it IS free for new customers...I just signed up a week and a half ago and we didn't have to pay anything for the equipment up front, and we still get the $20 off for 10 months. My first bill already came and I'm only getting charged for the programming I signed up for. The 622 is...

Can't answer your earlier questions (I'm new to Dish, so I don't know all the receivers yet, I only have the 622) but the DVR Advantage gives you AT 200, not 250, for $49.99. To get 250 it would be an upgrade.

Yeah, we are pleased with Dish right now--we had DirecTV for a year and had so many problems with their SD DVR that the Dish HD DVR is AMAZING compared to it. We actually would have stayed with DirecTV if they would have offered us something somewhat close to Dish's offer (free HDDVR, $20 off...

Can't help you with the Embarq, but as far as the DVR Advantage program, you might have to resign another 18 month commitment to keep your DHP free. That would be the only thing you have to decide, otherwise it does seem like a pretty easy choice!

I can't attest the the reliability of the HD DVR but you can call them up saying you were thinking about cancelling thier service (since you've obviously been with them for a long time if you own your receivers) because of problems with your current unit and also that you wanted to upgrade to HD...

Our SD channels are good, but our HD channels are AWESOME--your SD channels won't look any different, but your HD channels will be crisper than you've ever seen it! I personally think there's no comparison once you have HD--we were fine with our SD, but now after watching an HD channel, going...

I just got Dish installed one week ago--I got my first bill yesterday (for 2 months of service), but instead of the DVR Advantage plus HD that I had ordered, they itemized it and charged me separately for everything. I called to tell them they made a mistake in my package but the lady argued...

You get to save the activation fee and get a rebate, that's the advantage. And Claude knows what he's doing, he's helped a lot of people online with setting up their Dish, and that's the reason I went with them!
