    Dish online Tech support still batting a thousand!

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear. You and all the tech support folks are great. The hoops I spoke of are totally understandable. I've read some really stupid user problem posts here. I think we all (or almost all) try to learn how to operate the great equipment Dish supplies to us but I wouldn't...

    Dish online Tech support still batting a thousand!

    My VIP722K began spontaneous reboots several times a day and so I logged onto Dish Online tech support for help. So after jumping thru the standard hoops they must use to make sure I'm not too crazy or stupid they forwarded me to advance support and that fellow read the chat text and...

    Is Dish going to provide the NBC 3D Channel for the Olympics?

    Flame me if you like but I've tried twice to read this whole thread and fallen asleep both times so a possibly dumb question but... If a local NBC broadcast station wants to broadcast 3D coverage does it have to have a cable or satellite provider, other than Dish, who will deliver it in 3D? Or...

    Is Dish going to provide the NBC 3D Channel for the Olympics?

    Well said. If you made a list of all the things Dish isn't "into" you'd need a Oops, almost hijacked another thread. :D

    Anyone know the IR pulse freqency of the 20.0 IR remote to VIP722?

    Anyone know the IR pulse freqency of the 20.0 IR remote to VIP722?

    One piece of my new video distribution IR extender equipment doesn't work sending commands to the 722 while it works with other devices. And the vendor's support site suggested Dish used a frequency outside the repeater's 40 to 56 cps useful range.

    Anybody have any luck making custom 722 groups transfer to EHD?

    Did a search but only saw folks saying for years that it didn't work for them and asking if it can be done but no one seemed to know the real answer. Ice Berg seemed to say he had a setup switch that did this on his 211 EHD but I couldn't find any thing like that on my 722. Also I noticed...

    Changed my mind. Keeping my VIPs

    The capital D is for Dish. E* doesn't make sense anymore. "Since the Dish Tailgator decision..." And that is what I'll continue to do since I won't have hoppers. If I were to go hopper those EHDs won't be readable in the 211 allowed with hopper accounts. They are differently formatted. And...

    Changed my mind. Keeping my VIPs

    Since the D tailgater decision I have come to believe they will never let a plain old VIP be on an account with a hoppa and having an entire separate account for the 612 wouldn't help because the recordings from the 722 wouldn't play in the trailer. The same problem with a 211 Second, I was...

    Bad news for one of my ViP722s?

    BTW, my Dish1000.2 switch acted like your first problem for a few months. initially a plug pull reset fixed it 99% of the time. And the weird thing was my 612 would continue to work fine while the 722 was loosing channels. One last thing i found out was using the up down until I got to a...
