    Dish wants to come out for a "courtesty" check, what's up?

    Dish "Technical Support" called and wanted to schedule a service call to check out my equipment, see if everything is working right, etc. Under the guise of poor reception (big storm knocked it off for a bit a few days ago). They said the receiver (622). Said they'd check the LNBF outside and...

    "Signal Lost" for certain channels, why?

    Nothing changed with the setup, and losing more and more gradually it seems. I only watch the HD channels, and probably 30% or so get cut out. I tune to a channel, and the acquiring sat signal thing comes up, then goes to the error page (002 code) that says the signal has been lost...

    Have an old pack, want to downgrade, how to do it?

    Been with Dish several years and relatively pleased. I'm on like America's Top 100 with the HD pack, and the additional HD pack (MGM Movies and stuff). I have a VIP 622 receiver, and an external hard drive hooked to it. I also am on the deal of 2 years of Cinemax for $0.02. Is there a...

    There a way to only record a show, watch it, delete, and not record it again? (622)

    I don't subscribe to locals, and don't like watching live tv, or current shows. Say I want to watch Scrubs. So I make a timer for all episodes. It records at starting say episode 54, records all other episodes up to like 120 (or whatever they are at), then 1-53. So I sit to watch them...

    Confuzzled: Have Dish now, what am I looking at to get HD again?

    I know, I know, just call them. Well I don't think their CS folks know what they are talking about half the time. Inconsistent answers, charges different than what someone else said, difficulty changing packages, etc. In October of 2004 I got on with Dish, 12 month commitment, HD package...

    I want 2 receivers in 1 room, why can't I split from the wall to the receivers?

    I had a Dish 811. I decided I want to get a DVR, so ordered a remanufactured 501. I activated the new receiver, works great. I can't get both receivers hook up to the dish at the same time though. I thought I could just use a splitter at the wall, have a coax going to the 501...
