    using 622 as a receiver for OTA locals only

    I own a VIP 622 receiver and want to know how to set it up as a receiver so i can run an HDTV antenna into the 622 and then to an HDTV monitor. I have to do it this was as the monitor doesn't have a receiver built in. My wife wants locals and I don't see any reason to sign back up with Dish to...

    Bye bye and Thanks, Dish!

    I canceled my service on Wednesday too. I really miss GolTV and the itemized fees got to be too much to justify any longer. When I explained that the fees were outrageous the CSR tried to convince me that saving 10 dollars for HD was a good deal - keep in mind Dish was charging me 10 for HD...

    GolTV-HD Rumor - Will it ever come back to DISH?

    I've been with Dish since 1998 and if they don't bring GolTV back by August I am moving to Direct TV. My favorite league is on GolTV and they have the best international game coverage by far.

    searching the external hard drive for specific content

    I have a 750 gig external hard drive connected to my 622 and it is really painful searching thru over 350 programs on the drive to get to content. Is there any sort of a quick search feature which would allow me to seach for specific content by name? I could probably even tolerate a...

And while Dish is aggressive...

    Echostar Press Conference Recap

    I just got back from CES, the reps were not able to answer the question regarding free upgrade to 622 for existing costumers, at one point a senior person walked over and suggested that there would be a fee somewhere between 100.00 and 150.00 to get the 622 thru DVR advantage. With respect to...

    Post Your Upgrade Experience Here

    what's race got to do with your issue with Dish? I dont get it... people post complaints about Dish's customer service reps all the time, what does race and Ethnicity have to do with it? Further more, I doubt very much that Dish is out-sourcing customer service to Tehran. India on the other...

    522 install with existing 721 and 301 questions...

    for 100.00 they will pay for the DPP44? if this is correct, I don't see what all the complaining is about... The DPP44 is 200.00 a new LNBF will be about 100.00 so if this is correct I can get 300.00 in installation equiptment... that is more than fair. Can someone confirm?

    522 install with existing 721 and 301 questions...

    I own a 721 and want to add a second DVR with dual tuner capability. Dish has the 522 promotions right now and since I am moving next month the $99.00 install is not an issue for me. My question is it possible to have both the 522 and 721 installed into my new house with a DPP44 switch to...
