    Returning Dish... dish.

    So how do I get rid of the $50 charge for the dish? I'm not paying for a useless piece of hardware.

    Returning Dish... dish.

    Question - I'm returning my receivers and dish so Dish will stop whining. They sent me two boxes. I have two receivers - do I stick the receivers in one box and the dish in another? How do I get it off my house/disassemble it to get it in the box?

    Pause DISH - online?

    Is there any way to pause DISH online? I searched around and found that you used to have to call in to do it, but that info was a little old.

    Still having issues with :29 and :59 past the hour freeze/pixilation

    I'm seeing it on a VIP722 and a 211. I don't know if this is where to report it, but it's what the search found.

    Mailers always ripped to shreds upon receipt

    Mine are always in bad shape. I have one next to me here where the bottom part that you rip off and peel off the thing is ripped halfway across. The part with the mailing label is still completely attached at the top, where it says to open it, but the part under the label is completely...

    Can I activate replacement VIP622 over web?

    Yep - very simple. It took me longer to hook up my replacement receiver a couple of weeks ago than it did to activate it online.

    Should my DVR menu say Dish Platinum or BlockBuster Movie Pass?

    I remember the week before it went live, my 722 read BBMP for a day or two, then went back to Dish Platinum, and then back to BBMP when it went live.

    VIP722 Overheating - any way to fix

    Well, mine did put up the error screen that said the HD temp was above 145F, and I can hear the fan going out, so I know what happened with mine.

    VIP722 Overheating - any way to fix

    Got a question about my VIP722 receiver (not the 722K). The past two days, it's begun overheating. It looks like it's the enclosed fan that's not working correctly. It's been louder and louder for the past few weeks, and now it's doing the catch-and-spin thing, where it spins for a while, and...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    I'm still seeing Platinum on my 722 - L677 software. Should I reboot it to see if it changes? It was off last night for the regular update. The strange thing is, I swear it was BBMP a day or two ago, and then it seems to have changed back.

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    According to info a few pages back, they removed the HD channels temporarily so that the boxes wouldn't show them and get stuck on signal loss screens or something similar. They should come back when the outage is over.

    722 turns off instead of going into standby

    Ah, OK. So the problem is with Remote Access, and not the receiver itself. Thanks for the help.

    722 turns off instead of going into standby

    The firmware is L674. I do get the screen saver with the tips, but instead of just saying "Press Select to watch TV", like my 211 does, it says something like "Your receiver is currently off. Press Select to (yada yada yada)." It used to go into standby without a hitch - I'm not sure when...

    722 turns off instead of going into standby

    I've got a 722 (not 722K) hooked up in my living room, and for a while now, instead of going into standby, as my 211 does, it turns off. The message that shows when I turn on the TV even says something like "Your receiver is off", instead of "Your receiver is on standby", or whatever it is...

    DISH Network Price Change

    Ummm... I don't even know what to say here. You went through this same thing last year, and you stayed with Dish, even though you were unhappy. Now they're raising their fees again, as (from what I'm reading they do every year), and suddenly it's illegal? I wish I could just say "well, I...

    Tivo Time Warp Patent is Valid according to PTO

    He said something about the fees again, didn't he? Can somebody bump the record player? The needle seems to be stuck.

    Thinking about Leaving Dish?

    It's not everyone - it's two or three people (who oddly all seem to be named Bob) and one or two staff members. The rest of us just put them on ignore and go about our lives.

    Has anyone noticed the new 722k DVR menu?

    Eh, it's the 722. Dish has the same product description up on their site for both the 722 and 722k...

    Has anyone noticed the new 722k DVR menu?

    I think I'm still on 629 too - I've got a 722k and I still have the same stuff the box came with. How do I check to make sure?

    Wow, did I screw myself over?

    One of whom you can see in this thread, basing his whole argument on the flimsiest of complaints. As others have said, every contract is set up to protect the one making the contract. If I enter into a contract with someone, I'm not going to sign something that says "Take all my stuff and...

    New DISH Network Customer Portal

    One thing I noticed: I paid my bill yesterday through the new site, and when the payment went through, it didn't give any kind of confirmation number, or any real indication that the payment went through successfully at all. I didn't get a confirmation number until I got the email from them...
