    Anybody else having problems with payments being accepted?

    Autopay on website Dish's My Preferences/Billing web page for changing autopay billing isn't working. I tried to update credit card (got a new one after Target fiasco). Looks like it works, but it doesn't.

    Cinemax free preview

    Check out the Alien quadrilogy in HD. The first 2 are probably the best scary movies ever.

    MSNBC on AT120 soon?

    Yeah, me too. Drives me crazy.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    My turnarounds have also slowed to a crawl. Get one a week -- half speed. I have bunches of movies that are "very long wait" and have been for well over a month. Blu-rays. Oftentimes I'll see them at Redbox and just rent them. I wouldn't recommend to others that they sign up for this service...

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    I have 24 blu-ray items in queue and 14 are long wait, unavailable, etc. There's a Blockbuster nearby and I can often find them there and exchange, but wonder why this is. Sometimes I get a blu-ray from the Redbox right outside the Blockbuster for $1.60; oftentimes the movies are available there...

    Add an external HD to 722...but the USB port is already used

    I have my 2TB EHD plugged into one of these USB hubs. (Actually have 2 of them and seem fine.) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SDZ0HC/ref=ox_ya_os_product

    Boring

    I notice Encore is showing Lord of the Rings trilogy, including the Extended versions over Thanksgiving weekend. I think the one starting Saturday night is the Extended one. Fodder for my EHD.

    MSNBC had the 20th Highest Number of Prime Time Viewers out of Any Cable Network- Why Isn't It in AT

    I agree with original post. I've complained about this in the past. Why aren't the major news channels in the lower tiers? As a matter of public service, if nothing else. All I hear is, "It's not in the negotiated contract with Dish." Would the owners of MSNBC (Comcast now) mind? Puhlease. I'd...

    Is This A New Problem?

    Happens to me quite consistently on a 722, but it was happening before the latest software update, too.

    Initial reaction on Sling Adapter

    Just a suggestion that worked for me. By elimination, I finally discovered the USB port on the back of my 722 to be flaky, even using a powered USB hub. When I connected to the front USB port, the sling adaptor has worked great. I have a powered hub on the back one, with an EHD and little USB...

    Annoying Epix message

    Just got my software updated on 722 and I see what you guys are talking about. Every time, EVERY TIME, I switch to an EPIX channel there's this big popup banner clear across the bottom. Very irritating. After a couple of times you think I don't know about your online services? There are lots of...

    Annoying Epix message

    I don't mind a quick bug now and then, but the EPIX banner is a foot wide on my 46". I have to say that being ANNOYED by a product isn't good advertising.

    Outstanding service call experience!

    Next month I'll have been with Dish for 10 years and I've always had excellent service, esp. the installers and chat reps.

    NHK World Perhaps?

    I was thinking the very same thing last night. World-changing times.

    Is PPV site having problems

    I'm on a Mac and usually use Firefox for my browser. For the PPV site I have to use Safari, or I get that "Try again later" thang. Accidentally wasted a couple of PPV coupons as a result. Slow learner.
