    Best deal with no commitment?

    I'm looking to start Dish or DirecTV satellite service but don't want to make a long term commitment/contract. What are the best deals to do this with a reasonable selection of channels? When I last was a Dish customer 4 years ago, they had an inexpensive a la carte plan they didn't publicize...

    Can Joey use my home's existing WiFi network?

    I'm looking to do a new Dish install at a friend's farm, which has a remote barn connected by existing high speed wireless network bridging. The links would be too far for the Dish Hopper/Joey WiFi. Can the Hopper/Joey be configured to use the existing premises WiFi for streaming etc? I...

    Viewing constantly interrupted by Partial Signal Loss, code 00-00-00

    ESPN and CNN keep dropping out with the Partial Signal Loss screen, error code 00-00-00, on this overcast morning in Albany NY. What's particularly bothersome is the blue screen persists until I take action with the remote control. I'm not even sure the signal loss screen pertains to the...

    10+ year Dish customer here. I put my account on pause before leaving on a two-month vacation. They now refuse to honor my previous $7 monthly DVR fee, and will bump it to $15. I'm not a happy camper and told them to leave the account on pause while I decide whether to continue with Dish or...

    Does your 722K occasionally refuse to play the last part of a recording?

    I'm wondering if other 722K owners are still seeing this issue that was first reported many years ago. It just happened to me the other night when trying to watch my primetime Olympics recording. It got about halfway through and then skipped to the end and stopped. I started viewing it again...

    Loss of 110/119 signal

    With my Dish 500, I've just lost my 110 and 119 signals. 72 and 61.5 are fine. Everything I've tried inside the house hasn't helped. I was wondering if it could simply be a bad cable outside. Do those signals travel down separate cables from the LNB's? Could it simply be a bad cable or...
