    Chrome DishAnywhere SlingPlayer Extension

    Sling technology is used for dishanywhere but it is not sling. Sling on a Chromebook probably works but dishanywhere on a Chromebook does not work, yet. You can use remote desktop between 2 machines with the Chrome browser running and the host is a PC or Apple device connected to Dishanywhere...

    Chrome DishAnywhere SlingPlayer Extension

    The Chrome OS in a Chromebook has no software for dishanywhere. The extension in the Chrome browser only works in the Wintel and Apple machines. Internet Explorer 11 with the sling add-on needed for Wintel if Chrome browser not to be used. Android and iDevice apps work fine for dishanywhere.

    Dish Anywhere Issues Here

    There is no extension or app for the Chrome OS used in a Chromebook. You must run Chrome remote desktop app in the Chrome browser on a PC that has been already proven to work with DISHANYWHERE. Set the sound to stereo ONLY. Anything else and there will be NO SOUND sent from the PC via remote...

    HMDI not working

    The connectors for both the 211 and the 722 are frighteningly fragile. I've had to replace RCVRs because the weight of the HDMI cable, without the use of a downward pointing 90 angle adapter that I now have on both, damaged the internal connectors. Some cheap 90 degree angle adapters don't work...

    HBO went out...any others?

    Lost all signal on 72, 77, 62.5. Came back while I was running around ready to blame either the dog or the cat, checking all the cables and connections.

    RG 59 Problem and need a pro's opinion !!

    Geez. I use RG214 to get the signal from the antenna/amp tree on my shed, underground, through my basement, up to a splitter amp/distribution system. A whole 150 feet. If your not familiar with this cable, its 75 Ohm the diameter of your upper index finger. About 2db loss at 900Mhz at 150 feet.

    Split Second Signal Dropouts Every 10 Minutes - Help

    Same symptoms as with my VIP211 summer 2012. After triple-checking everything, it was the rcvr. Swapped it out and no problems ever since. The ~$7/month fee is worth it having had to swap out at least 1 rcvr every year or 2.

    Dish adds Glenn Beck's The Blaze to its Top 250 Package

    Good thing you have a choice to not tune to it. On a technical note, at least its broadcast in 16:9 picture geometry even if it is low rez. If/when it takes off TheBlaze and MercuryOne will buy an HD slot. It's all about capitalism, supply and demand so we'll see. I do hope this thread...

    One single Christmas Gift From Dish.

    Keyboard and mouse use in the menus through the USB port Blockbuster is too remote intensive to navigate, so I rarely do. So that's the plan. Collect $10/Mo and no one uses the svc. Edit: ESPNU in HD!!

    Rain*X on your dish and LNB ?

    What about Dupont Teflon Snow And Ice: DuPont? Teflon? Lubricants Available at Lowes (where there is snow) and Ace.

    Rain*X on your dish and LNB ?

    Anyone ever try Scotchgard? I've seen water (sweat) ejected from military uniforms in the FL heat during inspections and those eternal change-of-command ceremonies. It's sprayed heavily on the INSIDE of the uniforms. The uniforms never appear with sweat spotting.

    Charlie and Joe Speak on NY Sports

    This all started over 30 years ago when boxing went from major network events to pay-per-view. Everyone used to talk about boxing when they were always on the networks. Now they're a elite sect of semi-sports no one cares about. This is where teams that choose pay-per-view-like channels to...

    Just switched from Dish Network to DirecTV.... One man's feelings

    Thanks. This is what I needed as I am moving over to DirectTV after the NHL Package is done with. ATT has a good bundle since I need to also speed up my DSL, which is really why I'm switching.

    Freezing Pictures ???

    My 722 has started to freeze a few times a week. Sometimes a warm (Power button) reboot fixes it. Usually a cold reboot (unplug for 30 sec) is required. I'm hoping I'm not going to need a 4TH 722 in 5 years. Very "Yugo" quality-like if so.

    Extreme length run. What coax?

    I'm using RG-11 for my UHF run of 130'. Amplified up at the antenna and then again to distribute in the house being sure not to amplify much above the collective cable run losses. Amplification does so to noise as well as signal. RG6 would have forced me to amplify higher gain, more noise also...

    Free Gift from E* for signing up for E-Mail Notifications

    You'll get a "gift" that allows you to carry around a billboard like advertising for Disney, espn, etc. How lucky you are to get the honor of being a walking billboard. Dish got them for nothing, I'll bet. It's fine I guess. It's a free bag.

    Dumb ?: Why doesn't Dish build wifi into receivers?

    Why doesn't a broadband connected RCVR have an internet browser with a IR keyboard and mouse? Maybe I'd like to not get up and go over to my laptop to surf for a few minutes to check on something short and simple.

    722 receiver keeps starting over and over!

    I've seen it here on this forum a few months back. It's a BIOS level reset. Unplug the DVR and keep it unplugged and push the power switch ten times, then plug back in and boot. Supposedly, the lithium battery on the motherboard powers the motherboard while its unplugged and permits...

    522 won't record, any ideas?

    I have a guess for your model to try The 722 factory reset is: 1. Unplug for 30 seconds 2. While unplugged, push power switch 10 times. 3. Plug back in. Keep-alive on-motherboard Lithium battery permits a response to the reset command (probably, don't know for certain)

    722: Reboots by itself & Guide not downloading

    Pushing the reset button 10 times while the unit is unplugged is like flicking the switch on a flashlight with no batteries in it. You feel like something is being done, but all you did is shorten the life on the switch by an unmeasureable amount. Unless there is a keep-alive lithium battery...

    722: Reboots by itself & Guide not downloading

    There is no fix. Please believe me. I needed two 722's to be swapped out within 2 months of each other. 1st 722 worked flawless for a year. Started rebooting more and more often until it was unusable. Replacement 722 started to do the same thing right out of the box. Current 722 is perfect for 4...
