I just signed up for Dish after having dropped my service for a while. I had a plain 722 model. Now I have a 722k model receiver. Can anyone tell me the advantages of the k model versus the plain 722? Thanks for any comments!

I used to use Dish, now I have no satellite service at all. I'm trying to determine if either DISH or DIRECT have a capability of sending a HD signal down a coax cable from their DVR. I had a DISH 722 model with the Tuner 2 that could only send a SD signal. Has anything changed at DISH or...

If I understand the future a little, I think that OTA channels will be digital in Feb., which will produce much higher picture quality on HD TVs than SD. This makes me wonder how Dish can charge money for all these crappy SD channels I'm paying for. I've seen for months that Dish has bragged...

Can anyone tell me why Dish is unable to provide so basic a service as Fox News in HD?

I recently acquired a DVR and am wondering whether movies shown on UNIHD and Bravo are shown uncut in their entirety, only with commercials added, or do those two channels cut out part of the movies in order to shown even more ads? In other words, now that I have a DVR I can quickly speed...

I have a VIP 722 DVR that was recently taken in an RV on a road trip. Dish is now billing me a $5 extra "programming access fee" because the unit was not hooked up to a phone line. They say it has "two receivers!" I cannot fathom their logic here. What difference does it make if the...

When I've called DISH about a new account to get a VIP722 they tell me the only way to acquire one is via lease. Yet, when I've called one of the many "sales agents" for DISH with toll free numbers, one insisted that for the same payment that DISH quoted I would own the unit. Does anyone have...

I've been researching possible 500GB external hard drives to use on a 722DVR. Unfortunately, it seems many users have had Western Digital My Book, LiCie, Maxtor OneTouch and certain Seagate drives fail in less than a year. These data all came from customer reviews at Amazon. I noted that a...

I currently use a VIP211 at each of two homes and on the road with my travel trailer. I'm thinking of getting a 722 DVR and wonder if there are any special considerations or problems that might be associated with unhooking the 722 from one place and moving it to another and re-hooking up. I...

With all the bragging from Dish about HD programming, how come DISH doesn't have TBS -HD, given that TBS is broadcasting the baseball playoffs? I believe TBS offers HD because I saw one of those running scripts along the bottom of the screen mentioning TBS-HD.

I am traveling with my HD Dish receiver. I got it about a year ago. I think it is model 611 (no dvr). I am totally unable to align my dish to 110, 119 or 129. When I use one of those satellite finders, it find other satellites but none from DISH. When I call Dish tech help line, they refuse...
