    Thinking of going back to a 722

    I am thinking of going back to a 722 that I own. I currently have 2 leased hoppers but hardly use one anymore as my brother moved out. I was wondering if it would be easy to just swap out the cable from the lnb and get DISH to activate my 722 and send boxes for my Hoppers or would it be more...

    Raycom & Dish still quareling? -Dispute Settled. channels back 8/9

    I just got off of chat with DISH, and they are sending 2 usb modules for my Hoppers for free. Took a little negotiating about how they should provide value during these negotiations but they were very pleasant to deal with. Now when I get them I just need to hook it up to my OTA antenna in the...

    722 failing now must make decisions

    I am glad you posted that I forgot there was no OTA built in, will need to make sure to get one of those, I like recording the OTA HD signal on my favorite network shows, makes a difference when viewing on 110" screen. Guess I need to decide if it is worth it to get one of the hoppers with sling...

    722 failing now must make decisions

    I would not sell my failing 722 to some unsuspecting soul I guess my antecedent wasn't clear but when I was talking about selling "it" I was referring to my 622, I had made a few revisions to my thoughts as I posted and might not have been as clear as I intended. I agree best to get them...

    722 failing now must make decisions

    My 722 that I have had for over 5 years is starting to fail. I keep getting the Complete signal loss 015a signal code 11-12-11 error. I just had a service call today where they verified my dish was peaked and the signal at the end of the cable in the house is good, but the receiver keeps...

    Full Screen Program Guide no longer an option - thanks Dish!

    This is almost all I ever do. I use the guide maybe once in a blue moon.

    Just a friendly warning about DishStore.net/Metro25's rebate scam

    Just finished reading this whole thread and it seems like Claude's solution was to work it out to cover shipping, so no need to change the pages to say there is a fee, and no reason for you to beat your head against a wall. Unless I am misreading this.

    Live TV being Paused too long

    This is not really a solution, but a workaround. If after you pause you hit skip fwd or skip back once, the pause bar will be gone and you will still be paused and have advanced or gone back just a second. Then you have to wait a second for the pause/play symbol to pop back up, and then hit...
