We've had our 722 for about a year and a half. This past week it's started making a noise. The best way to describe it would be the sound of a grinding wheel on some metal, but not that loud. If the TV is loud, it's hard to hear, but at low volume or when the TV is off it's rather annoying. It...

This is more of a curiosity question and likely not specific to Dish: Why do some HD channels that are clearly broadcasting in full 16:9 (as you can tell from their station bug in the lower right of the screen) show 16:9 content but in the space of the 4:3 aspect ratio letterboxed? A couple of...

I was deleting some DVR events and accidentally hit PROTECT. It's now asking me for a password to delete it. I don't recall setting one. Is there a default password? If not, is there a way to reset it some how?

Well, it's been a year and I can't say I've been thrilled with Dish, but it's OK, I guess. I logged in to cancel Platinum to save a few bugs and then, as usual, got a little lost on Dish's site. From what I can tell, Turbo packages aren't sold anymore. But they offer (at least to new...

I came home to an empty DVR. My wife thinks she may have done that when she tried to delete her show. Somehow(?) she managed to delete all 50 hours or so of recordings. I'm guessing it's a long shot, but...anyway to recover all of it?

I'm in my account trying to update my programming. I want to cancel platinum as well as remove the Home Protection Plan now that my free trial has expired. Removing platinum is easy enough but can't seem to find a way to remove the home protection plan. Anyone know if that's doable online or is...

Seriously...after the 20th viewing of American Gangster and Casino, I'm having my doubts... ;o)

Sat down and began watching a movie on MGMHD tonight. I noticed that the movie seems a bit jerky...like it was dropping frames. Thought it might just be the channel/movie but now I'm watching David Letterman (locals) and it's even worse. Flipping through the channels it appears to be an issue...

OK, I feel dumb asking this, but... What is the URL so I can log in to see my statement and cancel/add programming? I can't find a link on Dish's site to log into the system. I signed up last week, and got an email, but that, too, does not have the actual URL to log in to the site. I'm...

I seem to recall signing up for Turbod HD Bronze when it was $24.99 It's now listed at $29.99 By statement now lists it at $34.99 with locals. Am I SOL? Does dish just hike rates when the feel like it, while we're stuck with the length of the contract we signed up for? Or did I completely...

Here's an odd one... Does your dish remote make an occasional 'click-click' noise all by itself at times? If I sit on the couch sans TV on, about every half hour or so, the remote makes an audible 'click click'. It's more mechanical than digital sounding. I don't like my electronics making...

I have a few questions that I'm not sure if they are related or not. I have the 722 hooked up to a HDTV (1) and Standard (2). Is there a way, when setting up recordings via TV1, to have it programmed so it records on TC2? For instance, I might be watching a show on TV1, and want to set it up...

Well, we got our first bill. Here's what it looks like: DVR: 5.98 PlatinumHD: 10 DHPP: 5.99 2 Premium: 22.00 TurboHD with Locals: 29.99 We signed up for the 2 year deal, so get the DHPP removed for 9 months. And the premiums are taken off for the first three months. So, my questions: -...

Well, 1 week into having Dish and I think our 722 died. I came home and the 722 was locked up. No signal was going to the TV and the 722 wasn't responding to the remote. I flipped the surge protector on and off, it seemed to reboot, then shut off. I can't turn it on. Dead?

The 722 menuing system seems pretty straightforward. However, a few things have stumped me... Duplicate channels: Why are channels listed twice? For instance TLC is at both 9488 and 183. Any way to omit duplicate channels? Missing locals: For some reason, when I scan for locals (OTA) it...

There's a lot of buttons on the 722 remotes. I'm stumped as to how to enter a dot when typing in a channel directly. We like to jump to our locals such as 17.3 or 45.1 but I can't seem to figure out how to type the dot via the remote.

Well, our installer showed up at 8:30 and worked until about 1. Nice kid, seemed very competent and took his time getting everything hooked up in admittedly crappy MN winter weather. Dish now on roof, cable through wall, grounded, hooked up to TVs, and...then he couldn't actually point the dish...

When hooking up the 722, does it matter if one connects it to ethernet vs. phone? I can do either easy enough. Is it just to 'phone home'?

As I've stated in other threads, per the advice in here, I gave DishStore a call to order service and talked to Claude who was absolutely great. I highly recommend ordering from them. HOWEVER, I had tried calling on Saturday and was redirected to a Dish Call center. I should have been...

I was going to order dish through dishstore, as everyone seems to say they have the best deal. However, when I call the 800 numbers on their site, I'm just taken to a generic call center and they seem to not know any of the specifics about dishstore specifically. So, a few questions: How does...

I see a lot of mentions in various threads about the 'Feb 9' date. What, exactly, is going to be happening with dish on that date? I'm looking at getting TurboHD/DVR as a new subscriber. Should I be holding out until Feb?

I was trying to go with a local reseller, but the one that was recommended in these forums seems to be a one-man shop and isn't in the office. I might still go with them, but figured I'd go ahead and see what I could cobble together at the dish web site. So, this is what I came up with...

Seems that there are lots of equipment options for Dish. I was hoping I could get some advice in here. What I'd like to have: 2 TVs connected. 1 HD, 1 not. Maybe a 3rd TV at sometime in the future. I'm leaning towards the basic Turbo HD with the $10 add-on for the extra 6 channels or so...

I see a lot of discussions that involve the issue of either having a contract or not. It sounds like if one decided to go under contract right now, they commit to a 2 year contract in exchange for a) free installation (save $99) and b) 3 months of free premium channels. If I don't want a...

It sounds like one advantage of DishNetwork over DirecTV is that if you can find a decent local supplier, you can get good local support for the hardware. As such, can anyone recommend a particular reseller that covers the Twin Cities, MN market? (or, for that matter, ones to stay away from?)...
