Hi all, as I mentioned in a previous thread (thanks for the help in that one!) I'm looking to replace a 722 with a 612 and 211 as I've upgraded the secondary TV to HD. This would make the new 211 the 4th receiver on the account. When I've spoken with Dish, they've indicated they can only do...

Hi all, question on current pricing/offers and looking for confirmation on what I've found. Dish's site isn't the easiest to find this on, and I'm not sure if there's any promotions or whatnot. Looking to upgrade my parents who currently have a 722, 222k, and 211k. They're swapping out an old...

Hi all, Helping some (older) relatives upgrade to another HDTV. Currently in the house there are 3 HDTV's and 2 SDTV's. They currently have a 722, 222k, and 211k. Would like to upgrade the 4th TV to HD with least impact on monthly costs. Looking at the Hopper but that seems to be more...

Relatives have Dish at their cabin. Electricity to the house gets shut off when they leave (they're on solar, so want to eliminate all phantom draws). Problem is if they're gone for a few weeks the receivers lose their authorization. Used to be really easy, you could enter the error code in...

Hello all, I have two Dish 500’s, one pointed at 61.5 and one pointed at 72.7, connected through a DPP44 to a 722, 222k, and 211k. I am getting frequent switch errors, and I have to run a check switch test to get rid of them. This happens at least whenever signal is momentarily...

Writing this post to help a close relative switch from Dish to DirecTV. They are fed up with the lack of MSG at this point in hockey season, as well as the LIN TV dispute and multiple equipment issues lately that Dish is giving them a tough time about. It’s been a few years since I...

Been having issues for the past month or so - but this time, I can't figure it out. Back in April, we were upgraded to Eastern Arc. But the tech didn't have any 1000.4 dishes with him, so he set up 61.5 and 72.7 into our existing DPP44. It had issues every once and awhile (maybe every 3-4...

What's the best heater people have experience with for the Dish 500? I had a heated cover on for a few years, but lo and behold it was actually reducing my signal by about 15 points. So no more of that. Would like to get something before the snow and ice hits.

I have a guy on craigslist selling a 722, 612, and 211. Checked and they are all free of balance. However, they do not have cards...he said Dish will send cards once you activate. I was under the impression Dish charges for replacement cards like this?

One of my family members got a weird (by my standards) call from dish today. She got a call from a guy named Lucky, who said they are "upgrading the signals" and he needed her to read off an R00 number. She was just walking out the door, so she told him to call back. He called back less than...

I cannot get the new HD as I have a 110/119/61.5 setup, as is standard for this entire region. We have a 722, 322, and 311. When I call/chat with Dish, they tell me I need to be upgraded to EA. Fine, but my SD locals are on 110. So I ask them what I can do about that...they tell me nothing...

Bought two receivers and two dishes about two months ago. One was a 322, one was a 301, and got two Dish 500's - one with DPP Pro and one with DP Dual - for $20, not a bad deal. Found that the 301 is fine - no balance - but the 322 is actually leased and cannot be added to the account - plus...

Looking at the "My Account" screen, I have a statement balance of $123, even though my bill is only $82.99, and my amount due is -$8.00. Last payment was the $82.99 via CC, however it should have been $79.99 because they cut my DVR credit early. I did an online chat and he gave me the...

Mine has disappeared. Dish is telling me it was only good for 5 months. I clearly remember it being for 12. Perhpas someone has a better memory than me? Thanks.

I'm trying to solve the scramble on my local radio station to win tickets: Mix 104.1 | WHTT-FM | Buffalo, New York I can't for the life of me figure out the 4th song. Is there anyone out there who can identify which song it's from? Excerpt of that song from the scramble is here...

Hi, everyone. I'm posting this in regards to a problem that a family member is having with Wildblue internet. They got WB last August for their house, at which no cable or DSL is available. They are on the 1.5 mbps down plan, I think it's $89.99 or so. The problem is that it seems to be very...

The basic scoop: MSG, our local RSN, is not covering the 4 Buffalo Sabres games next week. Nor is any national network. The games are radio-only in Buffalo. One game is actually on NHL Network, but they've said it will be blacked out regardless of whether or not it has local TV coverage any...

Went to plug in TV1 into a 222 today. Previously only TV2 was being used - and that worked fine. Now we tried plugging in TV1 via component and it won't display a picture. It WILL show the channel bars, guide, etc, and there is sound, but it won't display the programming - the background is...

Was at a relatives today trying to watch TravelHD on ch. 215...and it kept freezing and dropping out (but never once said "searching for signal." The signal meter showed between 20 and 25 for TP 32, which that channel is on. The rest of the TP's on 61.5 were 50+ on the signal meter. The...

My relatives have a DPP Twin on a Dish 500 that gets 110 and 119. It feeds a DPP 44 that currently goes to two 322's and a 311. Every once and awhile, for no particular reason, it'll drop signal on one or all transponders. It used to happen once every few months, now it happens at least once...

I have a relative looking to upgrade from a 322 to a 622 or 722...it's $100 to get a 622 (shipped). They're not a long-history subscriber, they only got dish last August and they have until February on the contract. What's the chances they could get a better deal through the CEO address for a...

I'm purchasing custom rackshelves to put Dish receivers in a rack...I need them for a 612, 211k, and 222. Middle Atlantic has the 612 and 211k in their database, so no problem there. But they don't have the 222. They have the 612, 622, and 722 however, along with quite a few other models. Is...

So I'm going through Dish Builder and I select AT250 with HD-DVR. It changes it to AT200 with DVR advantage and AT250 bonus pack for $10. Fine, but then it lists it as Silver HD, when AT250 with HD is Gold HD. I actually will get Gold HD, right?

I'm helping a friend who is getting WildBlue. I assume they charge extra for a pole mount, so if that's the case we can put a pole in ahead of time. What size pole should I be looking for? Also...it's two cables from dish to modem, correct?
