Is anyone else still getting the free cinemax past the thirty days? They told me that they would cut off automatically but still there.

72.7 signal dropping I read a thread about Dish going back to WA from EA in certain areas. I am in NE NC and Dish switched me from WA to EA and now my signal on 72.7 has gone from a high of 56 to a high of 30. On WGN it is 20 on a clear day and so if it gets cloudy, good bye WGN. Why has the...

Thanks so much, Matt. Everything is great and I appreciate your offer.

I asked the first young lady to try it but she walked me through what I had already tried. Told me that she was turning it over to someone else that would contact me within 48 hours. I did not realize that my daughter was on her computer chatting with support and they are the ones that set up...

Dish sent a service man today on Sunday and he had them re hit and everything works great.

I recently added a 722K to go along with the 222K. The 222K has the Starz free preview but the 722K does not. I have HD for life and get all the other channels. I called support and she tried to get them by rebooting and also check switch but could not get them to come online. She said that she...

Thank you so much for the info. No I haven't swapped receivers back and forth except for the one time from three receivers to the 222. My daughter is moving back home because I am going through cancer treatments and she wants to be here in case her mother needs her. She wants the 722 for...

I wasn't asking to pay any less, never have never will. I work for what I get; no loans. Thanks for the info, I'll have to wait.

Maryb I have been with Dish for six years and never missed a payment. Last March 15th I got a new receiver ( a 222k ). My daughter is moving back home and wants a dvr 722 and when I called about it I was told that I had to wait until after March 15th to be able to get it at no charge other then...

No, just someone that should have not put a post about how he feels about so many repeats. I didn't realize that I would be bent over for my post. I apologize for posting it. Again; have a great day, you've got a great day for it.

I realize everything said by everyone. I just needed to vent somewhere and I knew my comments would draw a bunch of smart answers from a bunch of smart people. Have a great day, you've got a great day for it. I really wasn't complaining about Dish; just about all the repeats on every station.

I know why people like DirecTv; most of the ballgames are not repeats. Everything is a repeat on every station with Dish. Two and a half men is all the way back to 2005. The NFL channel did show the replays of all the preseason games and that kept us busy. Oh well us old folks always have our...

I live in NE NC and had to have a 500 dish installed to receive HD locals from the Tidewater VA area. They were coming in on 61.5 and I had a high signal. Today out of the blue they are on 129 and a very low signal. Is this a permanent change or will they change back? anyone's help is...

Thanks much for the replies. I thought maybe someone knew if 129 is now strong on the east coast. I will give it a try after another week or two because it's 27 here now and that dish is right in the direction of the cold wind. Again thanks, Shelton

I live in NE NC and on the advise of several of you, I covered up the 129 on my 1000.2 and use the 61.5 to get my HD and locals. It worked great and now that 129 is now stronger do I need to uncover it or leave it as is because of my location in the US?

I was thinking of purchasing a WD external hard drive to go with my VIP211. I had called Dish and they advised against one with a sleep mode. Can you set the sleep mode to off on any of these or have you found they work ok without doing it?

I just got off of the phone with Dish and there is no monthly charge after the 39.99 and make sure the external drive does not have a sleep mode or that the sleep mode can be shut down. It is available now for software L523.

Yes, I use the VIP211 and was having a problem with 144HD and the new software and thought it may be caused by the same thing. 144HD now working.

Halftime and I checked and only three days on the guide.

It's L523 but only three days and it tells me that my programming needs updating. I will do it later and let you because I'm watching game and it cuts it off.

I am getting ready to watch Virginia Tech and Miami on 140HD and saw your reply and ran and checked mine. Yea! It's back! Hope it's there tomorrow.LOL

I finally got an answer from Dish. I went to their on line chat support and he confirmed that it is a software problem and they are working on it. He said that after they get it fixed that I'll wake up with it fixed and need not continue to call them.

John, do you have a VIP 211 or a VIP 211K? I called support to give them a report on what is happening as they requested me to do and instead of looking it up he started going through the same old stuff again. I finally told him that they had requested me to call back today and that others were...

Update for 11/13/08. They changed the software during the night to L523 and still no 144HD or 9425.

It does the same thing to me and now 215HD is locking up. Please let me know if you get any cure for the problem. I'm a big, old football fan and need college football in HD LOL I will send you my email address if you find out anything, so just post here. Thanks, Shelton
