    Any info on Multi-Room DVR?

    Just a few question for those who may have gotten the new Multi-Room DVR. How many hours and what size drive is included? Can it be expanded? What kind of network are the shows shared on? Customers home network, dedicated network? Over Coax, ethernet? Can you send HD over the network...

    Dish Home Sporting News - Does it ever update?

    As we approach the end of the NHL season, you'd think that the sporting news portion of Dish Home would have updated the standings grid to remove the "T" column. There are no ties in hockey anymore and this is just all zeroed out. While they are at it, they can add a conference standings page...

    What equipment is needed for new install in NY?

    OK, thanks for the info, it makes more sense now. Maybe they should just launch another satellite so people in NY can have just 1 Dish on their roof. ;)

    What equipment is needed for new install in NY?

    Excuse my ignorance, but how can a satellite not be visible from anywhere on the planet? I guess i'm setting myself up for a lengthy explanation of satellite orbits and such, but it just sounds strange to me.

    What equipment is needed for new install in NY?

    I am moving (within Long Island), and I want to take my Dish with me. Currently I have a 2 dish setup with a 522 (Dualmode) and an 811. So, here is what I did, and you'll see why I am confused. I tried signing up as a new sub, I know this isn't condoned here but I wanted to see what the...

    622 - Dual HD Tuner Recording?

    Awesome! That's what I was hoping for! There is no reason for us to use TV2 since we want to record a lot of primetime shows. If I were ordering as a new sub, how would I get a dual tuner 622 and 1 211 for another HDTV. Is that something that's offered? I would probably have to try on the...

    622 - Dual HD Tuner Recording?

    I'm about to order a 622 to replace my 522, we're switching to HD. I've always ran the 522 in Dual Tuner/Single Mode so I can record 1 show, watch another, or record 2 show and watch pvr, so I want that same basic functionality. I remember reading somewhere that although the 622 has two...

    OLN Dropped by Dish over Programming Disputes

    OK, sorry if this has been asked already, but i upgraded to OLN just for NHL, as I am a Ranger fan and some games were available only on OLN. There are still a number of games scheduled to be on OLN, would i get these if i add Center Ice package? I guess the real question is, if a game is...

    811 downloads guide data every day

    Well, I have no OTA hooked up, but it's still not being turned off when not in use. I'll try and turn it off more often. There's no sleep timer on the 811, right?

    Actually, you know what, we have the TV on a sleep timer and sometimes forget to shut off the box and it stays on, sometimes all day, is this affecting it?

    811 downloads guide data every day

    This just started happening a few weeks ago, rebooting doesn't solve it. Every day the 811 downloads guide info when I turn it on. Is there maybe a problem in the new firmware or is there an easy way to fix this? It's annoying not being able to watch tv for like 2 minutes after I turn it on...

    811 being reported as a 322! Suggestions?

    Nothing except what I posted. I did make sure to get her name and badge number, or whatever it's called. She credited me 3 months and said that they sent an email to the inventory dept to rectify the situation. Why do I always have to have these problems...

    811 being reported as a 322! Suggestions?

    I am on hold now while tech escalates. The sticker on back does correctly state DP811. The numbers are S007335xxxx and R006407xxxx. Does the other info help at all? Software rev, bootstrap? The tech support girl claims they are going to take care of it... again. I'll see if this gets...

    811 being reported as a 322! Suggestions?

    It was a Dish installer, not a custom installer. He was a little flustered during the install, but had he not gotten the right info, the units would not have worked from day 1.

    811 being reported as a 322! Suggestions?

    Sure I'll get it later and post it. Are there any E* engineers or support people that monitor the forums? Maybe someone who knows the internals would know more about how this would happen and how to fix it. If my phone call to them tonight doesn't solve anything, then i'll try emailing...

    811 being reported as a 322! Suggestions?

    I was going to update my earlier thread regarding an additional "Service Fee" I was receiving, but it's really more than just that at this point, so here's the whole story. I signed up with Dish back in Nov 04. I have 3 receivers: 2 811's and a Dual Tuner Single Mode 522. I know I have...

    2 522 bugs in new software, maybe already mentioned...

    Just in case E* reads the forums, I want to just post my two most recent and annoying bugs with the new software. 1. Headbanger's Ball set to record weekly but the last episode was no scheduled due to it's not being a new episode. However, it WAS a new episode, it was just bumped out due to...

    2 More Noob questions, Sirius and PPV

    OK, 1st thing is why do the Sirius stations look different on the 522 than the 811? The 811's show white text on a plain black screen. The 522 however, shows a nicely formatted blue background behind the text. I would think that the satellite would be sending down this info, and it's not...

    What should my bill look like with 2 811's and a Single Mode 522 (Dual Tuner)

    I called Dish to make sure I wasn't paying a "penalty" $5 from not having the phone line in, because the phone line IS plugged in. I read some of you from this forum having an issue with this. She said not only was I paying the penalty I was being charged for a single 811 and 2 522's or...

    New subscriber help - No Superdish or 522?

    I've been very happy so far, however I can't tune CBS HD at 9483, it gives me a message that this Dish On Demand program is no longer available. Is there something set wrong on my receivers? Do I have to call E*?? Thanks!

    SD PQ Degraded after Using Dish Interactive

    I'm new to dish so bear with me on this one. I have been thrilled with the PQ of the 811 for both SD and HD content on my 30" Tosh tube. While playing around with the box last night, I went to the Interactive channel and it looked really bad. This is over DVI btw. Then I chose Instant...

    DVD Burning with Dish Network

    I was considering getting the DMR-E55K to go with my 522 to permamnently archive shows i've recorded. What would be the best way to hook this up? I'm currently in single tuner mode, but the secondary outputs don't have S-Video, correct? So I was thinking to maybe just output the 522 through...

    New subscriber help - No Superdish or 522?

    One more question, why are my locals listed 3 times? For example, I have 2, 243 and 8101 for CBS NY. Why is this? I have DVR timers set to record off of some of these, is there a chance the content would be different or one of these stations would not be here in the future? Thanks!
