    Is everyone dropping platinum?

    Thought it was funny? What is funny about lowering a bill to keep a customer? Seems like a good business plan to me. The basic package is the main money maker so as long as you keep that I don't see why you dropping anything else would really matter to them. Secondly, who ever says satellite...

    Dish retention called

    Maybe I am the only one thinking of this with all the pointless statements going on but what was the reason for cancelling in the first place?

    Need super simple remote for Dish VIP 722

    The remote given is called an EZ remote. Dish does sell the EZ remote but if I am not mistaken it is only IR and will not work at TV2. I don't believe there is an "EZ" TV2 remote.

    need guidence installing Second Reciver ,

    You don't use anything else like a splitter. If you can't go directly from the LNB then look in to getting an LNB that will allow it. You should be able to go directly from the lnb, although the info given is not sufficient enough to guarantee an answer. Bottom line... no quick answers here...

    Trouble using DP Plus Seperator + 722

    I thought that a DPP seperator must be connected to a DPP LNB or a DPP44? I was under the impression that it had to have at least 2 other DPP pieces. One being the DPP receiver and the DPP LNB?

    PIP

    Same way. There is only one way to switch between modes and that is the mode button on the front of the receiver. If it doesnt work then try holding the power button on the front of the receiver (not the remote) for 10 seconds and wait for the picture to come back. Once it comes back try the...

    Trouble using DP Plus Seperator + 722

    What about trying the direct cable in to the sat in 2 port? If it is not working on one of the ports then it is the receiver that is giving you the issue. If it works on both inputs directly using one sat feed then try another dpp seperator. You have to find where the signal break is before you...

    Anyone else lied too by sales staff?

    First off, I have no idea how anyone in Dish could say that your price is guaranteed when in the agreement is clearly states that programming and pricing are subject to change. Kind of seems like a fault on both ends(if the CSR actually stated that it was guaranteed). Half on the CSR for lying...

    PIP

    I use the same technique in PIP as mentioned before when using the swap button, can utilize full screen to make the change.

    need guidence installing Second Reciver ,

    Depending on the LNB in use, you may and should be able to install a 2nd receiver directly off of it. I wouldn't use a splitter though.

    First Night With Dish Network

    This is true for a single tv feed... yes, but he asked for 2 tvs. Doesn't the 922 send an HD feed wirelessly to a small portable tv? I think I read something like that.

    Dish Rumor

    I don't know, it makes sense but it doesn't. Didn't Dish just lose AT&T to D*? Kind of strange that Directv would gain and then lose.

    First Night With Dish Network

    Yes, there are many receivers that control 2 tv's. Depending on what you're wanting, I'm sure Dish has the correct receiver. An HD dual receiver will give you one HDTV and one SDTV whereas a SD dual receiver will give both SDTVs. No way to get 2 HDTV's with a dual receiver as of yet. The 2nd...

    Um... why post this? This is not much information to go on. What LNB? What equipment inside? Any switches outside? Need more info to run with, friend...

    20.0 and 21.0 with DVR 510

    I agree... I would go with the 20.0 remote. With the learning feature, I am sure that she'll have the volume and tv power running in no time.
