Any tips from those who have done it on how to cancel the best way. I know about the ETF and the $15 fee to send back the receiver, anything else I should make sure to avoid? Should I call or chat? Is there any benefit to canceling on the last day of your cycle, or the first? Tips would be...

Thanks for the help. Any idea whether it's better to cancel on the last day of the service period to avoid billing mistakes or perhaps the first to drop another month of ETF? I seem to remember seeing some advice on this, but can't find the thread now.

Hey guys, Is there a way to find out your current ETF on Dish's website without calling or doing a chat? Also, I've heard it's better to cancel on the last day of your billing cycle. What's the reason for this? Thanks for any help!

I feel stupid writing this, but is there a way to switch info from the hard drive from one box to another, perhaps by USB? I just received a replacement 722k for my other one that started to malfunction and it's going to be very annoying to lose all of our saved programming. Thanks!

Thanks, both of mine were taping, so I'll give that a try.

A question for the experts: I have a 722k. Say I'm watching two live shows at the same time and I'm recording both. Is there a way to pause one, watch the other for a while, pause it, and return to the first program still paused. This would be particularly helpful for games on at the same...

My receiver says I'm receiving 72, is this different from 72.7? Sorry if this sounds pretty basic, I a fairly new customer and don't know much about the satellites. Is there a good post somewhere that explains the different numbers and how they work? Thanks

Thanks, that makes sense. Anyone else have this in their home?

I've heard of people having two services at one time. How does this work technically? I don't want this permanently, but I'd need to get uverse tv for a while in order to also get the internet from them. Then I would drop the tv after a short time. How does this work with your house, will...

I'm hoping someone here can get me on the right track with a simple (I hope) problem. Dish was installed a few months ago. My set up has been a 722k downstairs, TV1 connected right there with hdmi. TV2 is upstairs, connected by the second tuner just through coax. The installer set this up...

Thanks, this was my first thought, but I just can't run the wire through the wall with the way these rooms are situated. That would be my first choice if I could manage.

For use with a 722k, I know you normally can't have HD on the second TV. Would it be possible to accomplish this if you put the receiver in single mode and have both tvs always show the same tuner? I'm assuming this is pie in the sky, but I know many here are experts. The inability to access...

Update So I've been tooling around with things. I tried to use the other homeplug adapter and then plug an ethernet cord into the back of the receiver. This worked, but the box without this still will not recognize the network! This tells me that there is a connection now running through my...

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I've read all of the old threads on homeplug here and Dish support doesn't seem to know homeplug exists. I bought a Netgear homeplug adapter (1.0 compatible) and hooked it up to my router directly to the wall. Currently neither of...

Thanks for all the advice. Does anyone know if Dish will send a tech to run this cable through the wall for me? I assume not because it basically causes them to miss out on a receiver fee, but has anyone tried this?
