    Encore $5 package

    Does anyone else have the Encore movie channel package for $5? I am receiving all of the Encore channels, including Encore West, but not Encore East. Is that the way it is supposed to be? If so, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. :confused:

    Just Wondering...

    Thank you for starting this poll. This is my #1 aggravation with a system that has otherwise been nearly flawless. 1:00 AM sucks for me, it actually is one of the more likely times I will be watching TV. There's nothing worse than leaving the room and coming back to a rebooting DVR.

    Updates every night?

    I just want to change the time. I do not find 1 AM convenient at all.

    anyone get their stuffed hopper yet?

    At least it's not a genetic defect, the Joey looks fine. :p

    anyone get their stuffed hopper yet?

    Some people can't be pleased... got my stuffed Hopper yesterday. It's enormous! Came with a hand signed letter. The little things like this make me a happy customer.

    922 Software Update This Week

    I am really liking the update. I noticed a few changes: new Dish logo, new "On Demand" tile, complete with the split screen Hopper-like interface with "star" ratings on movies and such. And of course, Blockbuster at home. I was thinking of ditching the 922 for a Hopper but just couldn't...

    Default favorites list My Channels is a feature not a bug. You've got to be kidding me!

    Sorry, I disagree. I expect to turn on my TV and see everything how I left it. Why should I need to do 6 button presses every morning? Thankfully, I found the workaround which was to add every channel I don't desire to parental controls and have them hidden. Now there isn't a chance I will...

    Just received software update S116!

    Same here. This is annoying to have to change this back each and every day! :(

    922 differences

    I am considering the jump (or should I say hop!) from the 922. I noticed that the guide appears to be gray rather than blue. Can anyone comment on the guide that has had both? Also, I haven't seen a picture of the receiver's "off" mode/inactive screen. Does anyone have one to share? Does it...

    Click click click click click

    That's all I hear from my 922 for the last few weeks. Playback sometimes freezes up momentarily as well. Obviously the hard drive's days may be numbered. Is there a list of compatible hard drives somewhere? I found one for the 722s but not the 922. I'm more of a do-it-yourselfer, but will...

    Networking problem

    Ethernet, and it's plugged directly into the router. My connection is fine, every other device on my network can grab an IP without issue.

    Networking problem

    As an update, I've figured out that my receiver loses network connectivity either after the daily update, or after a red button reset. After either, the "Reset connection" button does not work. The only way to get connectivity back is to unplug the receiver and plug it back in. After that...

    Selling Sling adapter

    Dish wanted a $200 lease fee for the 922, plus $95 to install it. $295 that I would never recover. I paid $485 + $15 shipping, installed it myself, and am invested $500 into the receiver. When I'm done with the receiver and sell it, as long as I get more than $205 for it, I've come out...

    Is there anyway to turn off the new (highly annoying) banner on the VIP612?

    I think he understood it fully. :devil:

    Networking problem

    First problem with my new 922 :o For the third time now, the box has lost its ability to connect to my network. All other devices on the network are fine, and the router has plenty of DHCP addresses to spare. Each time, clicking "reset connection" resulted in 3 red boxes (I tried several...

    Is there anyway to turn off the new (highly annoying) banner on the VIP612?

    Ahh... you got me before the edit. Don't get me wrong, I love the 922 and Dish Network's service. Yes, I am nitpicking, but to upgrade to a fancy high definition interface, completely refined and easy on the eyes.... and then today to see a reminder plastered across the bottom of certain...

    Is there anyway to turn off the new (highly annoying) banner on the VIP612?

    I absolutely disagree. Anything that doesn't deeply affect our lives we should just accept? This has nothing to do with those issues. We are discussing an issue affecting a service that we pay a good deal of money to have access to. I do not want that service to remind me, in an...

    Is there anyway to turn off the new (highly annoying) banner on the VIP612?

    I was surprised to find this annoying banner on the 922 as well. :eek: These need to be an option to turn off ASAP. A stretched out channel logo on the bottom of what otherwise is a beautiful interface? No thanks. I sit down in front of my TV to watch TV. I don't need a constant...

    Selling Sling adapter

    Well I got mine before there were free. So if I ever wanted a new one it will hopefully still be free. You're right, I paid $485 at Solid Signal.

    Have you even owned a 922 or do you enjoy crapping in my threads?

    Selling Sling adapter

    Maybe you are used to pressing numbers, but I certainly never used them . The menus are better laid out as well , so there is less need to go through them. Additionally, there is one button access to the DVR menu, which is what I use the most anyway. I found that there isn't any wasted...

    I've never set a manual OTA timer in my life! ;)

    Ok, that doesn't answer my question. You must be one of those who discouraged me from getting this great upgrade months ago. :cool:
