    Unable to activate a 111 Receiver?

    Hi again-- thanks for the suggestions thus far. BTW-- I'm a gal, not a guy :-) So, here's what I've got-- my DNASP is an H03, and current software is P441. I've tried tuning to chan. 101, leaving the receiver powered off 30 mins, removing purple smartcard, unplugging rcvr for 10 mins, then...

    Unable to activate a 111 Receiver?

    thanks guys! I'll give the check switch a try. How do I get an updated smartcard? Will Dish send me one? Or do I need to go back to DishStore.net? Lynne

    Unable to activate a 111 Receiver?

    I bought a Dish 111 Receiver last fall from the DishStore to use in my RV (it's the only "square sized" receiver I could find that would fit in my RV's cabinet). When I tried to activate it, the Dish cust svc rep said I could not use it with my TurboHD Bronze package and would need to "upgrade"...

    Best way to cut back on monthly fees

    Take the price of the basic bare bones TurboHD Bronze w/Locals pkg. It's pretty darn cheap! Now look at the additional channels you get when you upgrade-- do you watch those extra channels enough to justify the $10, $20, $30+ you'll pay in extra fees? Same goes for assessing those movie...

    722 local channels DVR question(s)

    Single Mode works great for me (rarely, if ever, will watch both TVs at once). So in this mode, my TV2 sees OTA and all the same content as TV1. I also like that DVR recording is much more controllable via Single Mode (in Dual Mode, it seemed impossible to stop a DVR recording in-progress on...

    Which VIP722 DVR (new) features would you like to see added ?

    Wow, thanks for that searching tip from the Info screen Anonymouse, that's terrific. Sounds like we're all learning some new "undocumented features" here. Maybe that's the real issue...the 722's menus and remote might indeed do just about everything you'd ever need, if only these tricks were...

    Which VIP722 DVR (new) features would you like to see added ?

    One thing I miss from my old Comcast DVR is the ability to access future air times & record options from the Info screen of the program you're watching. Lots of times when surfing, I find an interesting show already in progress. That feature sure made it easy to set up a timer for when the...

    Question about Jumping to the other side

    I just "simplified" from Comcast to Dish Turbo HD Bronze and now am saving about $60/month. The HD channels (with locals) have been just fine for me. I've also got an Apple TV, so am starting to get more and more shows that way. The only channels I've missed so far are Comedy Central and...

    Customer Service is getting better

    I too was a bit shocked at their 800-number hanging up when you try to ask for a live representative. Fortunately, their online chat customer service worked great-- very fast to respond and solve my issue and very professional. I found the chat link by going to the "Contact Us" page on their...
