    NBC on demand doesn't work

    At least it doesn't for us trying to watch American Ninja Warrior. We have tried several different episodes as well and two different Rokus (a new Premiere model and a 3 model that is connect with ethernet). I have 100Mbit internet service and tests show it isn't the issue. Each time the...

    Wow, intro deals keep getting worse and worse

    Every time I consider coming back to DISH, I look at their intro-pricing deals and surprisingly they keep getting worse and worse. When I first looked, it was 2-year lock at $50/month (for the 120+ package) and that included DVR service. Then it went to a 3-year lock but the price no longer...

    How long will Sling TV be offering free/discounted equipment?

    https://www.sling.com/devices/offers It would be good to know how long the deals on the Roku equipment will be offered. If anyone has seen/heard anything please chime in. I'll contact Sling TV directly to see if they can offer any details (and will report back if they do).

    Watch ESPN

    Anyone here using Watch ESPN (on a Roku, XBOX, etc.) and authenticating it with their Sling TV account? Does it get you access to replays of all the ESPN channels you subscribe to? I am most curious if you get access to games that (in Watch ESPN) have the SEC Network Plus logo next to them...

    dying 722 -- will DISH replace with a 722K & the OTA tuner module (for FREE)?

    I am currently not under contract and would be willing to go back on -- as long DISH replaces my dying 722 with a 772K and the OTA tuner (for free). Has anyone successfully done this already?

    Will DISH upgrade a non-HD DVR for free if under contract? And give FreeHDforLife for free?

    I thought I saw some threads on this a few months ago, but I cannot seem to find them now. My inlaws have a non-HD DVR (the 625 maybe) and are still under contract with them, but now they have a couple HDTVs so they'd like to upgrade their equipment and their package. Can they do both it at no...

    rain fade getting noticeably worse

    I have had an EA dish since Feb. 2008, and somewhat recently I have noticed that rain fade seems to be getting more severe and much more common (than it has been been in the past). Could some action by DISH -- like lowing signal levels and/or cramming more channels in -- potentially be the...

    Why rename TurboHD packages to Dish America?

    I'm trying to fathom why DISH bothered to make this name change since they seem intent on not adding any new HD channels to these HD-only packages (that they used to widely advertise). I can only come up with one reason: they only did it to make it harder to "find" these HD-only packages...

    How can I setup my 722 to save only 4 episodes -- and not overwrite them?

    I want to setup my 722 to record FOUR episodes of a particular program then STOP recording that program until I delete one (after watching it). And since this isn't a high-value recording -- just kids cartoons -- I don't want to protect the timer/episodes (because I'd want my DVR to delete them...

    Manual timer bug

    I setup a manual timer (to only record a portion of a 3 hour news program) every weekday and to only save ONE copy, but instead it seems to save EVERY copy it records. Anyone else aware of this bug? Or anyone know any work-arounds?

    Dish America / TurboHD packages getting a new price hike?

    Checkout these links: HD Packages DISH America Silver The first one shows the regular price for Dish America Silver (formerly known as TurboHD Silver) to be $47.99/month instead of the $39.99/month (or $44.99/month with locals) price that it's been since last year's Feb. price hike -- and don't...

    lost CNN, etc. for sometime last night

    A little before 7pm (central time) last night I noticed that I had lost CNN as well as several other channels. At the time, I was getting ESPN as well as my local ABC. I did basic check and it came back with three green boxes saying everything was good, but still no CNN. I have a 722 (with an...

    anyone tweaked/modified the IR sensor in their 722?

    The sensor in my 722 doesn't seem work well with IR blasters (from a IR distribution system). Ever since switching to DISH, I thought the fact the carrier frequency of their IR (56kHz versus the typical 40kHz) was why my IR distribution system didn't work very well with my 722. I recently...

    722 jerky HD playback (audio is fine)

    Yesterday evening I get home and turn on my 722 and notice the playback was very jerky -- like only 1 of 10 frames was actually being displayed. The audio was fine, but the video is pretty much unwatchable. I checked both the Component and HDMI outputs (on different TVs) and both saw the same...

    How can I determine what caused my 722 to reboot?

    A couple nights ago, my 722 decided to spontaneously reboot. Can I look at the data in the "Counters" and determine why it rebooted? The internal fan ran for several minutes during this reboot -- which makes me think it was heat related. I looked at my HDD temperature values, and they all...

    Top two teams in MLB's NL have played the last two nights in SD only (E* is joke)

    This is utterly ridiculous...what moron at Dish Network decided it would be best to NOT show the game in HD between to top two teams in the National League? This has happened the past TWO evenings no less! If a game this caliber doesn't warrant HD (to Dish Network) then I don't know what does...

    HD quality of last night's Cardinals game (against the Dodgers)

    Did anyone else notice how utterly bad the supposed HD picture was for this broadcast? I guess all the new HD home shopping channels (like QVC) are eating up bandwidth. :mad:

    722 TV2 says cannot find sat while TV1 works fine

    Any idea what caused my 722 to think it couldn't find the satellites for TV2 while TV1 was working fine? I even changed TV1 to the channel TV2 was suppose to be recording (and the programming was there). Because of the "superior" 722, I completely missed one program was halfway through missing...

    Program guide incorrect for local PBS sub station (St. Louis)

    The program guide provided by DISH is incorrect for the 9.3 local PBS (sub) station here in St. Louis. I recorded a couple different shows -- several times over the 2+ weeks I've had DISH -- and the program I see is never what the guide says it should be. Has anyone had this problem? I didn't...

    Can anyone confirm HD-only will be available to existing customers after Feb. 1st?

    I know I have seen it mentioned, but I haven't seen anything definitive. Will Dish Network be changing their policy for existing customers so they can down/sidegrade their packages tor HD-only TurboHD packages (after Feb. 1st) for the same prices new customers (meaning DishDVR Advantage TurboHD...

    St. Louis area E* retailers???

    I hope to be going Dish Network (from DirecTV) is a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had the name of any good DISH retailers in the St. Louis area -- or even more specifically in the St. Charles County area? Or if someone has had a bad experience please let me know whom to avoid. Also...

    Is there any way for new DISH customers to lock into current pricing?

    I am currently a DirecTV customer who plan to be a Dish Network (TurboHD) customer soon. I was wondering if it was possible for new customers to lock into the current pricing deals (as I see rates increases are coming).

    IR control of TV2 on 722?

    1) Will the ViP 722 allow you to send it an IR signal to control the TV2? And can the TV2 remote that comes with the ViP 722 be setup to send IR instead of UHF? 2) If not, can the TV1 remote that comes with the 722 be setup to control TV2 instead? I would just use my Sony RM-VL600...
