    SatelliteGuys First Look Review - DISH Sling Adapter

    I found your post while Google searching how the sling adapter would affect my Verizon usage, as I power my 722 receiver w/my Verizon usb air card using a Cradlepoint router. I plan to use my droid x cell phone at work during lunch to view my saved dvr content. The phone part would not be an...

    Ike didn't blow down my dish

    Ike didn't get mine either, though lost a ton of shingles. I was pretty amazed when the power came on and all was working.

    1080P Movie Poll

    Have 722 and though several VOD's have always shown up, none have ever offered 1080P so have not been able to test my 1080P Samsung. Have netflix so will probably never use anyway.

    EV-DO broadband to 722?

    I sure appreciate your responses. Too bad we can't know when the call is being made to Dish. I found that Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router on a google search this morning before I posted my question. Wasn't sure when I saw it if it would work with my verizon card.

    EV-DO broadband to 722?

    I did search before posting this and really could not find anything to address my question. I have an EV-DO Verizon broadband card in my Dell laptop. It works great for wireless internet, as DSL nor cable are available in this rural area which I live. I recently had my land phone line shut off...

    Why do I get audio drop out on only one channel?

    I too was having this problem with my 622 ...except it was with local ABC channel. I live south of Houston and have a Onkyo receiver as well. I thought it was the receiver. I just upgraded to a 722 and attached and activated it yesterday. My problem seems to be gone.

    622 Lost HDMI output

    My E Series replacement completed around June 14th after my D went out after 3 weeks is still working via the HDMI cable. No complaints and have certainly enjoyed the DVR. It was all well worth the upgrade from 811.

    622 Lost HDMI output

    Actually you more than like won't. The HDMI/DVI went out on my "D" version 622 receiver after nearly 2 weeks of useage. I don't think I even spent 4 minutes on the phone and the tech person had already signed me up for a replacement. I got it yesterday (not DISH's fault it was delayed about 3...

    Going on my 3rd 622...

    I have the "D" version and assume the next one I will receive will be the "E" as I have never seen anything past that posted anywhere.

    Going on my 3rd 622...

    This is why I hesitate to get a replacement for my 'mere' HDMI problem, but it is on the way. I am afraid of worse or different problems, when I have had none other than the faulty HDMI. I do plan on hooking up the new one when it gets here and seeing how it performs before sending the...

    622 Lost HDMI output

    Well, just got through talking to a very pleasant young lady tech at DISH who after I described my problem and asked for a replacement, immediately said no prob and said it will be here within 5 days and gave me information on how to return this one. Took about 5 minutes. I have a "D" by the...
