    Using a VIP211 as a DVR?

    Moving Said Hard Drives around If I have two 211's, then could I record on one and bring the hard drive to the other reciever and play it back? I have two 211's and two 811's. I already have a 500gig hard drive so I'd like to wipe it and make use of this. I've already been denied and...

    They did it again After four attempts to upgrade to HD receivers through Dish with their installers I finally got what I wanted. However... I'm also trying to get them to upgrade my parents and so far they have blown off two installs. Their second install attempt was scheduled for 8AM to...

    Yet Another Failed Install Attempt

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to get Dish to come to my house and upgrade my 811's. Today was supposed to been the install, but I was called and told the installer was sick. This is the third time (on this install attempt) that Dish has failed to get the job done. Here is the link...

    Install Delayed Again and again and again and again

    I know your pain. I'm on my fifth failed Dish Network install. I told them to cancel the 211's/1000+ and refund my money. Dish can't seem to close the deal. "Charlie! Bring back VOOM!"

    Thinking of Quitting Dish, any suggestions?

    Dish Installation Nightmare

    If you live in Las Vegas, avoid Linkus at all costs. I ordered install via the Web link from the Voom website. The installer showed up without a switch to combine the LNB's to my smart box. The second installer showed up but with only 3 receivers when I had ordered 4. Plus he was 2...

    Voom in Vegas problems and Locals question

    I'm off of Rainbow, south of 215. The installer was Keith of AAA media masters. So how did you adjust your dish? Did you take your cell phone up there and call your wife to watch the signal strength? Otherwise, how do you know you're locked on? I'm considering doing it, but I think it...

    Voom in Vegas problems and Locals question

    I just got Voom installed on the 24th. It was fine until yesterday when heavy rains came down. I have a 24 inch dish mounted on the roof. When standing on the roof I have a clear line of sight with the towers on the two different mountains and I am less than 15 miles from them. The installer...
