    722 is recording everything in my lists, not just new stuff.

I checked to see if "new" was checked and I also did a hard reset. But so far no luck. Only thing I can do right now is to go through...

Its kind of strange but here's what their doing. The video portion of the signal is broken into 3 equal sections. (left, center and...

    Freeze your account for up to six months.

    Dish seems to be offering people who are out of contract, the option to have their account froze for $5 a month, for up to 6 months. You still get to keep your equipment and if you have a dvr, you still get to use it for your recordings and over the air recording. Seems like a pretty good deal...

    How many countries?

    Does anyone have an idea how many countries Dish is in? The reason I ask is just out of curiosity. I was looking at some photos I have been taking on trips over seas and it amazed me when I found a direct tv dish on a roof in Germany and a direct tv dish in a photo of Tokyo. I thought both...

    Loud commercials are getting louder.

    Has anyone else noticed that those loud commercials that come on occasionally are getting really nasty loud. My brother just used his sound meter to measure the system and it jumps 25 decibels when those annoying commercials come on.

    cancelling autopay

    Is there a way to cancel autopay online.? I tried and can't find it. I also tried chat, but got an idiot. I also had 2 phone calls, they still didn't do it. I think I bragged too soon about dish's customer service.

    Anyone else having issues with pic size.

    Up untill yesterday I had no problem with my HD pictures on my 55 lcd. But since yesterday the 16x9 images and other HD content is either stretched way to much or even worse, the image looks zoomed in on. My 722 is set to 16x9 and the TV is set to natural or native. The only setting that seems...

    Quick 722 repair question.

    A couple of months ago I dropped the home protection plan from my contract. Now my 722 is starting to act up. The picture and sound go off for about 3 seconds every 30 minutes or so. It does it also while its recording and the playback shows the recorded blank space. Done the resets and...

    For the past couple of weeks I have been having my signals drop out and the message saying "acquiring satellite signal" comes up. At first I thought it was the weather but after so many times I began to notice something. Whenever the "ASS" message appears, if I hit the guide button the show...
