Our 612 just got the upgrade. I have to say I'm really disappointed with the movies available for streaming. There are few I've even heard of.

Yay! Thanks.

Ahh, well thanks. I figured they were parallel services.

Our Dish account is bundled via CenturyLink AND we have a 612 receiver, so no Blockbuster Movie Pass for us just yet. However, we have a Blu-Ray DVD player that will stream Netflix (just canceled) and also Blockbuster, which we've never subscribed to. Once we get our Blockbuster package...

I have the same situation as GreeneDish - we were with Embarq, now CenturyLink, and have a bundled account. Chat CSR told me they were "working on it."

Thanks .... waiting impatiently here .... :)

We have the ViP612. Earlier in this thread it was mentioned the 612 would get MoviePass November-ish. Chat agent is telling me "It support only to 722 or 722k receivers." Any insight from the gurus here? I trust you more than Support. :)

We just got our first HD receiver -- the ViP 612 -- hooked up to our HD tv. Before the HD receiver, closed captioning was handled through the tv set. We could simply press the tv mute button to turn captions on and off (we do not use tv audio, it's routed through sound system, so tv volume is...

It seems that perhaps Dish was moving over to some new software this weekend? That's my guess -- after my unsuccessful attempts at connecting this weekend I was able to log in today and see my DVR via the internet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.

I waited 24 hours and am still having the same issue. My DVR shows that it is online, and I get the 7-digit activation code from the DVR, but when I enter it on the dish.sling.com site, it tells me "Your DISH DVR may not be enabled for Web Services." Bonus: I click the FAQ link at the bottom of...

We just upgraded to a ViP612 today and I'm having the same issues as everyone else in getting my DVR to connect to Dish Network. My internet connection is working fine, the DVR tells me, yet the web setup is just sending me in circles. Any ideas? Should I just keep trying? How many times do I...

Thank you, kaydigi. I never knew about the Sys Info button on the front! It appears our receiver is a DP510. There are no identifying numbers on the front (or sides or under or in the manual ... can't get to the back.) ETA: DVR seems to be working properly this morning. The receiver turned...

Hello all -- I am seeking help with our malfunctioning Dish DVR. This is our third receiver from Dish. We have had two others replaced due to malfunctions with the DVR (possible hard drive related -- nobody at Dish was ever able to say for sure). I am hoping that perhaps someone here can...
