Hi all. I've been a Dish Network customer over 20 years now and was surprised at the lack of "loyalty" options they give customers like me, but I stick with Dish because I haven't found anything better. So I have a Hopper with Sling (and OTA adapter) and Super Joey. Recently started having...

I am also interested in a possible upgrade from 722 and 622 setup to Hopper setup.

Hi all, the last couple of major software updates for my 622 have caused issues with the timers. Specifically some of the timers start recording old episodes of the shows. The guide shows that the episodes are in fact old, so I don't think the guide data is wrong. I have done a full power off...

Not just you. My 622 has had this problem on and off for over a year now. Usually when I determine that a timer is recording old episodes even though it is set to only record new, I just have to delete the timer and recreate it. This hasn't been a problem until recently and I believe it...

Funny, this reminds me of my first dish receiver (wow, that would be 11 years ago now!) that did not have IR control. I found specs online to add on an IR receiver (by soldering on to the main board in the box) so I could us it with my Pronto remotes...we've come a long way baby! I would use...

Thanks JayStil - this worked like a charm and saved me from hassling with a CSR!

I almost forgot, we need to bring back SeaQuestDSV!!

What, no one wants ALF back?!?! Seriously, I miss Jericho, Alias, and would love to see more Space: Above and Beyond...

OK, first, this forum is awesome, I was reading this post about the Netflix increase thinking "I haven't heard about any price incres..." when I get an email from Netflix about it!! Now this figures though. I just put my Blockbuster account on hold this morning because I am trying Netflix! I...

Yes. I am using an Airlink101 ap431w access point (Access Points – AP431W) to connect my 622 to my wireless network. Works great. I actually have a second one of these upstairs for my Xbox360. Great little box for $30 (got it on sale at Fry's).

Just an update. I was seeing constant LNB drift numbers of -10 for 129 and -6 for both 110 & 119, so I called Dish. They sent out a tech and replaced all the LNB's. Now I have no drift and I am waiting until the next hot day to see if the 721 looses channels or not.

Our 721 has been doing the same thing, but mostly in the mid-day. When I get home to work on it the channels are working again. I will have to check the drift on our 622.

Yup, this happened to my 2nd (kids) computer last week. I replaced the power supply and it still wouldn't power up. I just happened to have an extra motherboard (the same exact one) and installed that and it booted right up.

Another one here. My wife called me and said a bunch of channels weren't working. I got home at lunch and found that ALL my SD channels were locked (previously we just locked out the adult channels). All the HD channels were fine. The kicker is that NO ONE KNEW THE 4 DIGIT UNLOCK CODE BUT ME...

Yup that is exactly what happened to mine two months ago. No error codes or "ring of death" - different games would just freeze and show weird pixels all over the screen. I got the box and then shipped it to them and they sent me a replacement Xbox "to speed up the process". I believe I had...
