    922 Windows Phone 7 support?

    I know this has been asked before several month ago, but I was didn't see an answer so trying again. Is Dish Network (or Sling) going to provide an app for Windows Phone 7 for 922 owners? Obviously I have both and would like to use an app on the my Samsung Focus so I can watch and program my...

    Quiz - signal loss/channel bleed-in

    Ok guys, I have a quiz for you. Last week, my wife and kids complained our 622 receiver was dropping signal. When I finally got a chance to actually watch the TV - a channel my kids were watching (Cartoon Network), I saw what she was talking about. Some of the time, the receiver would lose...

    Locals via E* == no OTA?

    Folks, I received an email from E* saying my local HD stations are available from satellite and that I need to call them to get them activated. If I call them and have them start sending me the HD locals, will they disable the OTA tuner in my 622? The reason I ask is I can record two sat...

    Disable Dish-On-Demand?

    I haven't looked in the setup screens of my 511 (522, or whatever my non-HD DVR is), but does anyone know how to disable the Dish On Demand feature or if it can be disabled? Ever since E* enabled it, my DVR seems to run all night long after I have turned the unit off. The green light is off...

    Estimate manufacturing cost of 211 & 622

    Anyone know who/where is making the 622's? I know Dish used Samina-SCI for (recently) everything prior to the 211/622. Not sure if Samina-SCI is still doing it. They are in my backyard and I still have yet find one that has fallen off the back of a truck. ;)

    622 + HD + locals = free OTA antenna and installation??

    They are saying the professional installation is free. It mentioned an additional cost for the OTA antenna. According to a PDF Scott posted: Question: Do I need to pay anything extra to get my local channels in HD? Answer: In limited markets, DISH Network will be offering HD local...

    Cost of OTA HD on 211/622

    My concern about this new pricing scheme/scam is the HD Enabling fee. I've read were most people are saying is a fee imposed on a subscriber who gets a 211 or 622 receiver, doesn't subscribe to one of their HD paks, but wants to get local OTA HD stations. I also read in a PDF that I got from...

    Sound like an 811 issue?

    I have this same problem, but am pretty sure it is the way the PBS signal is being broadcasted. I am seeing this on the 281 software release and only on the PBS station. Two Fridays ago, all was well again for a day or so. Then the flashing started happening again. Bama Mac, check your...

    SD PQ Degraded after Using Dish Interactive

    Maybe this is what I am seeing too. See the bottom part of my post titled "Flashing Banner on 1 channel". I noticed the jagged appearance on text, any non-vertical line, and especially station icons in the lower right. I only saw this on OTA analog channels. I did not see this on OTA HD, SD...

    Flashing Banner on 1 channel

    I have the 811 receiver and noticed a few of days ago (Tuesday?) that when I tune to either of my OTA PBS digital channels, 25-01 and 25-02 in Huntsville, AL, once the receiver locks on to the channel (about 1 second or less), the Dish Network channel banner starts flashing. There is no audio or...
