I started with DTV back in 1995 when it was $800 and stayed with them 6 years until Dish had some better deals. I then stuck with Dish until earlier this year when I was tired of PQ, channel disputes and their constant nickel and diming fees. I had gotten Comcast Internet becasue UVerse was just...

so I was a customer for 14 years, gave them over $15K over that time. I left 7 months ago because is was sick of the nickel and diming and got a good bundle from Comcast. Well in 7 months of Comcast I have had more outages and interruptions. Than all the rain fade over 15 years with Dish. So I...

I was a dish subscriber over 14 years and moved to Comcast about 7 months ago and give up. Comcast DVR is junk compared to Hopper and while Comcast PQ is far superior the outages are killing me. Another 4 hour outage yesterday. I don't think all the rain fade outages over 14 years have added up...

So I was with Dish for 15 years after 7 years with Directv. I finally was fed up with signal fade and the rising fees. Comcast struck me a great deal for Internet and cable TV that was hard to refuse. First think I noticed was the PQ on Comcast is far better than Dish, The other thing I quickly...

OK I have my hopper 2 days and am really enjoying it. Love PTAT, really is a great safety net if I miss a timer. I have a sling and noticed that with the Dish ipad app it is hit or miss. Often it can see the receiver, but shows no recordings, if I go back in later it looks fine. Other times I...

OK I have a 622 for a few years now and 1 dishes that 1 points to 129 the other to 110/119 and the 622 has an external drive to archive some recordings. I have a hopper coming in a few days and was wondering few things. First will I be able to attach my drive to move my recordings from the 622...

I am considering a hopper and was wondering if i set up Prime Time Any Time and also have timers for individual shows does it record that show (if it occurs in prime time) twice or is it smart enough to know I want to keep something out of PTAT and flag it as a scheduled event? If it does it...

GF is currently a Dish customer and is thinking of moving to DTV since their Russian International package is better. She would get a Genie and need 1 client. I see the Client connects via a cable to the Genie, is it a direct run? Today she has 2 Dish receivers in different parts of the house...

Been with Dish for 7 years and fairly happy. Am frustrated mostly with their packages, but also having issues with OTA and 2 SAT DVR recording. The OTA works good most of the time, but becasue of my location I get some intermittent issues, then this year all the frequent heavy storms seemed to...

I have an old 301 my gf wants to use ina spare bedroom, is it still supported by Dish?

There does not appear to a current DirecTV HD DVR that offers a OTA DVR option? This is the only thing stopping me from dumping Dish and going to DirecTV. Would be nice to have a UHF out as well so I can pipe the output of one tuner throughout the house.

For the last 3 days my 622 locks up while watching recorded shows. It locks up need to hit the power button to reboot. Then it is fine for a day or so, I'm thinking bad HDD as if I replay the show it locked up on it may lock up in similar place. Before I replace DVR I want to make sure it is not...

OK I went through 3 attemtps to get Dish installed on roof 5 months ago, finally had to find a local retailer to do it, but the gf is moving and needs a roof install on the new place. The original retailer will not do it as it is outside his zone. It is a 2 story townhome, but you know Dish with...

OK I have a 501 and I had some shows that were from 1-2 years old that were saved and protected. This week I noticed just about eveyrthing over 1 year old is gone. I live alone so noone else went in and deleted events. Is there some sort of max age an event can be? Did Dish download some code...

OK I have been Dish for a few years, hate them, their HD roll out sucks and customer serivce is the pits. Their dish gets bigger and bigger and now they wont; do roof installs. So I wam thinking DirecTV, but if I read the stuff right the HR21 is the current top of the line HD DVR, but it does...

OK We have had 2 attempts to get Dish installed and both times Dish sent idiots. There is a Dish 500 on the roof now. The gf was a customer years ago, she wants to come back because her dad is living with her now and she needs the Russian Intl channels. She wants HD as well so I believe this...

OK I want to upgrade from a 622 to 722, but I have a bunch of stored movies and such on my 622. Is there any way to attach both recivers via USB or something and move the movies? What about via USB drive? I see threads that hooking up the USB drive to a different receiver it wants to reformat...

OK GF waits a week to get Dish 1000 installed, have a old Dish 500 on roof now from previous owners. Dish Installer shows up and says Dish will no longer install Dishes over living spaces. What the F#ck?? Dish are idits, they say theyc an have a contractor come do it, but Dish will not be...

OK GF is getting Dish and 722 and it needs either a phone line of Ethernet connection. Neither is anywhere near where the receiver will be. I can do wireless phone line, but they are pain. I am thinking baout a wireless bridge, has anyone tried one of them to get their receiver onto internet...

Ok I know Dish was out in front with HD for a while, but DirecTV made it clear this year they were coming back strong. so what's up with dish? I know we can't expect tit for tat each day, but it sure seems liek DirecTV is heading out front. With SCi-Fi, USA, and soon FX they are gettingt he...

OK, I started with DirecTV in 1995 and switched to Dish in 2000 so I guess I'm over due to switch back. I love the flexibility the Dish 622 DVR gives me, 2 SAT and 1 OTA to get up to 3 events at once, which I have to do at times. How is the DirecTV HD DVR in comparison? Dish has periods where...

OK last 2 weeks I am getting several HD locals (in Atlanta, CBS, ABC) Audio sync issues only on recorded events. This sucks with new season kicking off and the huge number of events I have going. E* needs to do better software QA. I am at L444, but probelm stated 10 days ago and I think L444 was...

Is it me of is E* just not capable of doing HD LILs in ATL very well. The NBC station is constantly having probelms via E*, yet OTA seems fine. The ABC station woudl be the next worst with periods of blank screen. The NBC seems to break up with blockiness green patches. Seems like the HD LIL...

OK I finally have my 129, had to have a tree removed. I have a dedicated Dish 500 for 129 and seem to get singal strentght that vary by transponder. I am in GA and get in mid 80's on the best transpndeers and into the low 60's on the weak one.s On my 110/119 I get well into the upper 90' and...

Is it just me or does the 622 have an Audio sync issue. I had a 942 for almost a year with no probelms. The local NBC OTA have small audio drop outs if they were bradcasting a SD type signal through their HD, but that was it. Now witht he 622 I notice on OTA that the audio gets out of sync, like...
