    Sling Adaptor Field Reviews

    So I got it to work, see post #185, but I can't change the channels on my iphone/pad. All it shows me is live TV. When I try to watch something pre-recorded from the DVR it still just shows me live TV. The only way I can change the channel is if I actually use the remote. Any thoughts?

    722, Sling Solo HD Pro, and dish remote access

    Is there a way to view TV from an iphone/ipad using a Sling Solo HD Pro and a 722 using Dish Remote Access? I don't want to have to pay the $30 for the Sling Mobile App on the ipad, nor do I want to have to get the sling adapter if I don't need it. If so, could someone give me specific...

    Hawaii HD Mapdown Glitches

    Have you had any problems with NFL Network HD on ch. 154? From time to time, when I tune to 154 it says the satellite signal was lost. When I turn to ch 5507, the feed is fine. By the way, I live on Oahu.

    NFL Network HD

    I'm having similar problems in HI. I get the both the HD and SD feeds with the HD being mapped down from 5507 to 154. Sometimes I lose the 154 feed altogether. It says the satellite lost the signal. When I switch to 5507, the feed is fine. Thoughts?

    I'm on a month to month contract with dish since my 2 year contract is over. I have two receivers, a 622 and a 322. I want to upgrade my 322 to a 622 or better yet a 722.

    Problems with audio on Vip622 HD channels

    Thanks for the input guys. I think I should have been a little clearer. My 622 is connected to my receiver via HDMI. It passes both the audio and video to the receiver. The receiver is connected to the TV via HDMI. No audio comes from the TV, just the 5.1 surround speakers. Thanks for your...

    NFL Redzone qurstion

    I live in Hawaii and get the NFL Network in both HD and SD. Do I have to subscribe to NFL Redzone? I thought it was free. A few weeks ago it was showing me the redzone plays of the first games then for the later games it said it was a paid subscription. Now it doesn't even let me see the first...

    Problems with audio on Vip622 HD channels

    Why do I sometimes lose audio on TV1 when watching HD channels? I lose the audio for as long as an hour sometimes. The SD channels are fine and watching HD channels on TV2 is not a problem either. If I'm recording something on an HD channel the audio will be fine when I play it back once the...

    When Will Dish Fix the New Alaska/Hawaii HD Packages

    Are you able to lock on to any of the signals from 129? Try different transponders, I think 16 works. If you can lock on to them, than the dish is fine. Did you ask the rep how much your HD package was? Run a check switch test. Does it say OK or does a red X show up under 129?

    When Will Dish Fix the New Alaska/Hawaii HD Packages

    Tell them you want to change from the 9.99 HD package to the 10.00 HD package. I know that sounds stupid, but it makes a difference as to what your receiver can see. They may need to re-hit your box. That's what did it for me after spending nearly 3 hours talking to their tech reps. Do you...

    When Will Dish Fix the New Alaska/Hawaii HD Packages

    DJ Maui- Do you know many people who upgraded to the HD GOld package? Meaning they have a dish pointed at 129. Here on Oahu, it doesn't seem like many people know about it and retailers don't seem to be installing dishes at that location. Most people have DTV anyway. Makes me sick

    Question about 322 receiver

    If I have a dual lnb dish pointed at 110/119 and a single lnb dish pointed at 129, should my 322 recognize the 129 dish in the check switch? What I mean by recognize is should the 129 dish show up at all under the check switch and not red x. I keep getting the same error message every time I...

    Check switch problem

    No, it is not related. The HD channels in red that you see are for the CONUS subs. coming from 129. We cannot get them because they are not on spotbeams for HI/AK. Are you having the check switch problem error message when you turn your receiver on too? Or do you get the red x only when you...

    I live in hawaii and have a dish pointed at 129. I get the channels I'm supposed to with good signal strength. However, whenever I run a check switch test, the 129 comes up with a red x, even though, like I said, I get the channels I'm supposed to from 129. When ever I turn my receiver on, it...
