    3tb EHD

    Has any one attempted to use a 3tb EHD on a 211 or 722k? I know that 2tb is the stated limit, but sometimes dish does not advertise changes that it makes; so I thought that I would ask. Will a 3tb format up to the 2tb limit? If so, does that cause any problems? Thanks for any help.

    Just wanted to mentioned that I asked Matt G. to help me move me to an EA setup late Monday night. As of 8:37 p.m. tonight I was up and running. I think that it might have been sooner, except that I was not available until today. Thanks again, Matt.

    Sling Adapter/Dishonline

    I know that with the Sling I can use my computer and some devices to access and control my 722k. My question is whether the Sling will allow me to watch Dishonline content on my TV, through my 722k? I know that I can rent certain movies from Dishonline and have them downloaded to my 722k, even...

    7100/7200 Receivers

    So here is a question for those members who are familiar with these receivers. I have a few of these receivers that Dish asked me to deactivate in 2009. My question relates to watching the recordings that are still on these receivers. The full recordings are still on the receivers, but I can...

    Annual Billing For Locals

    Does anyone pay for locals on an annual basis? Each year I pay for the Top 250 on an annual basis. In the past, Dish has not allowed my to pay for the locals annually, only monthly. My current bill has locals at $5.99 per month. I think that the add on for locals is less than that, so I lose...

    72.7 Pointimg

    Just looking for some advice. Can I use a 508 receiver just for pointing a dish at 72.7? I know that 72.7 is mpeg4, but I was wondering if using a transponder that includes some of the audio only stations might work. Also, am I better off using a Dish 300 or a Dish 500 for trying to get...

    Harmony 880 Remote

    Does anyone know if the Harmony 880 can be told to use different remote addresses for Dish receivers? For instance if there are two 211 receivers connected to the same tv, each receiver can be assigned its own address. Can the Harmony handle this? Thanks for any help.

    HD Access Fee?

    At one point Dish charged a per receiver fee of $10 per month for HD receivers if the customer did not subscribe to HD programming, which I do not. I am looking to buy a VIP211K from DishStore, but do not want to pay more fees other than the $7 additional receiver fee. Mostly I want the 211K...

    Best HDD for a 211?

    I have some 211's on the way. I am a little concerned about the HDD running 24/7/365 and therefore failing. Any thoughts on the best HDD, considering that fact. Does turning the HDD power switch to off cause real problems? Is 1TB still the limit? Thanks for any replies.
