    Configuration Error & 2nd TV remote inoperable

    Scooby, thank you so much for the feedback! For what it's worth, I tried the 'readdress remote' - it initially allows remote for TV2 to work, but within an hour or so, remote functions are gone (again!) I've emailed tech co., and will see what tech does, hopefully Monday.

    Does this happen to anyone else?

    Andy, similar (but not exact) same problem. With me, it's TV2 - after set is on a while and I've changed channels a couple to no more than a few times, remote just quits working. I can't access program guide, change channels, and only way for me to 'fix' is reset system. I've posted problem -...

    Configuration Error & 2nd TV remote inoperable

    Sorry to keep posting, seems I've had every possible problem w/new install. After 3 a.m. updates downloaded or when TV first turned on, pop-up: "403 Attn: Press & hold 0 to configure your new receiver." (Ok = more eror messages). I think when tech came back out, he just made pop-up go away and...

    No Smart Card??

    222k receiver (installed 2 DEC); due to problems experienced, I had to reset system multiple times. In process, noticed there is NO smart card.

    322 to 222k upgrade

    Tenacity and perseverence - John, good 4 U! One area Dish has certainly been lacking in is training and education, from CSR's to retailers to installers. I've always found it annoying that so many perks are offered for new customers, and not to long-standing loyal customers. IMHO sad part is...

    Winter break, want to get HD for about a month. Help please!

    Your best bet would probably be to call a local DISH retailer. I just looked on DISH Network website and can't find anything except (contract) pkg. info. Unfortunately, the prepaid card program ended in September (really no surprise there.) Sorry this isn't specific info you're looking for. Good...

    $5 dollar non-phone line charge?

    DISH charges for each additional TV for $5(SD) or $7(HD) per month. However you have the chance to save the 2nd and 4th TV charges. If you order a dual tuner receiver for two rooms, please connect your receiver to your phone line. Dish Network will waive your second room charges. If you do not...

    New Install: Phone not connected!

    Ah, I signed the contract (altho' I did note 'not complete') and signed in both places, with notes. Why? Because installer (owner) told me that DISH wouldn't send the M2 OTA module until service and account established. (I'd asked when ordering if module was needed and told no....) Install...

    When I ordered Dish (Silver pkg) I was told 3 months free SHO & HBO. I changed guide to fav's channels subscribed to - and neither channel displays.
