Guys, I've been on the HBO $10/month promotion for YEARS. It was supposed to be a "forever" deal as far as I know. However, I just got notified via email today that it is expiring in 3 months. Did anyone else get this email? Does anyone have any verbiage from the deal that talks about an...

Guys, I've searched. I've googled. I've yet to find a definitive answer. If I order a PPV like the McGregor-Mayweather fight on one of my receivers, will it be viewable on my other receivers? It seems like in the past I would have to order it via the website in order for it to be turned on...

I'm a Dish Network guy and have been for close to 20 years. But my 70-year-old parents just got DirectTV. The system they got has a Genie RC73 remote. The installer programmed it to work with their Sony TV. All of that is fine. However, they have an older Pioneer receiver (model VSX-455)...

I have a VIP 722k DVR. For a while my remote (a 21.0 IR/UHF) has been flakey. It doesn't seem to respond. I have to either hold the buttons down a long time or hit them multiple times. Here's what is strange: I accidentally discovered that when I put my hand over the IR sensor on the remote...

Guys, I have a VIP612 controlled by a 6.4 IR/UHF remote. Today, it quite controlling anything. All of a sudden it doesn't control the Dish receiver, the tv or the stereo that it has controlled for years. The batteries are fine and the lights all still light up. Any idea? Do remotes just go...

I have a VIP722K with the red Dish Sling adapter. A week or two ago it quit working properly. When I tried to connect via DishAnywhere.com or the iOS app I would get a Satellite Signal Lost message. It still shows the guide and everything but it won't stream anything. To be clear, the...

Guys, I don't watch locals a lot, so I'm not sure how long it has been going on, but it has been happening for at least a few weeks. It doesn't happen all of the time, but quite often my locals have jittery audio/video. Not always, but often enough that it is irritating. I had to watch a...

Guys, I've got a Dish guy that just showed up to replace my rusted pole. He said I might get a better line of sight with Eastern Arc, but that there were a few channels that might not be in HD like some Cinemax and BBCA...or so he thought. He called and talked to a supervisor and that's...

Guys, Dish Network installed my dish on a pole about 10 years ago when I moved into my current house. It was necessary due to the tree cover in my yard. I just noticed that my pole was a little bent. Upon investigation, I saw that it is rusted/rotted through and about to break off. I pay...

Guys, I have a VIP612. I have used it to watch lots of old HBO shows using the whole HBO On Demand feature (DVR>>All TV Shows>>Browse by Network>>HBO). This has worked great for me in the past. I watched all of the Sopranos over the summer, followed by The Wire and Oz. However, recently...

Guys, I have a couple of 622s in my house. One of them will start having extremely slow response time to the remote control. Sometimes it doesn't seem to respond to button presses at all. It seems like it takes an unplugging (not just a hold-down-the-power-button reset) to get it to start...

I've been watching The Wire off of Dish on Demand on my VIP612. Back when I was on the early seasons, I would load half a season or so up so that I didn't have to wait for them to download. It would say my rental period was 30 days. A few days ago I noticed that as I loaded the first 4...

I have a VIP612 and tonight the screen when black and it started making a "whooping" siren/alarm sound. It was strange. The picture was black but the audio was coming through. I had to unplug it to reset it and get it to start working again. It did this a few weeks ago and thought it was a...

Guys, I've been watching the Sopranos non-stop from my VIP612 using Dish on Demand. I just came to an episode that will not play, however. Season 5, episode 2. I've verified that I can play the next episode (3) and I watched episode 1 last night. It gives me the error "The purchase of...

So recently I've started watching the Sopranos. I use my 622 to watch the episodes. I go to HBO>>The Sopranos and then start downloading all the individual episodes for a particular season and watch them all before going back to download the next season. Basically, I do this because (1) it is...

If you missed it, they did a great send-up of Blockbuster video and the people who don't realize that renting DVDs has gone the way of the dodo. Yeah, I know he supposedly bought it for other reasons (which didn't work out either), but all I could think during the episode was what a colossal...

I just saw this and thought I'd pass it along... AMC Refuses to Take Squabble with Dish Network Out on Customers, Lets Them Stream Breaking Bad Premiere Online for Free

I am having something strange happening with my 722k in my living room. On Fox Sports SW (Ch 416) and other RSNs that I can get, I am not getting audio during game broadcasts on the HD feed. During some of the commercials (but not all) I get audio. All of the other channels I've checked I get...

Guys, I've got an old setup. I have a Dish 500 with 2 LNBs going into a SW21. For various reasons, I plan to replace the 2 LNBs with a single DPP Twin. I've looked at them online and it looks like it would need some sort of bracket to fit on the arm of the dish. It doesn't look like it...

Have an old Dish 500 and a 508 receiver at our vacation home. When we came up at Thanksgiving nothing was working. Did a check switch and turned out it could no longer find the SW21. I tried running a new coax from the receiver to the switch. Didn't help. I just hooked it up with a coax...

Has anyone out there purchased a Monoprice sound bar (For only $106.50 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 2.1-Channel Home Theater Sound Bar w/ 2.4GHz Wireless Subwoofer | Home Theater Speaker Systems) and gotten it to work with the power/volume of your Dish remote like you would a home stereo...

So I'm on a free trial of Platinum. I just heard that with was converted to BBPM. But I cannot seem to follow the instructions to register for BBPM. The link isn't there. So I'm wondering if this is only available to people who were PAYING for Platinum. I asked in another thread and was told...

Ok guys... I have a really old Dish setup and was trying to figure out what may have happened to it. Here's the original setup: Dish 500 (pointing to 119 and 110), SW21 switch, single 2700 receiver. Symptoms: - The receiver couldn't find a sat signal. I did a test switch and it couldn't...

I was watching the A&M- Arkansas game on ESPN and as Arkansas is driving to go ahead with less than 2 minutes to go I start getting the "game not available in your area" message. UNACCEPTABLE and embarrassing. I was able to find an SD feed on an ESPN alt channel but I missed some critical...

I was HD Theater (ch 364) quite a bit, and can see it when I go to Dishonline.com. However, I noticed last night that it does not show up in the guide. It skips from 290 to 469. Does anyone know why? I also do not know if there is a way to directly tune to a channel from the iPhone app, or I...
