if a csr turned off the distant locals, then a csr can put them back in. if the locals were removed because the service was paused (by customer request) or disconnected for non-payment, the distant local 'grandfather rights' are lost. the only way to get them back is to follow the normal...

*****Inside info here: the reason the 811 rolled out as a uhf-primary reciever/remote is for the convience of the many people who to hide their hd equipment, or keep it in a 'control room' and *not* in their home theater on display****

Excuse Me... Dish Network's customer service call centers are based in the USA. They do, however, employ technicians who are not of caucasian descent. To not do so would be discrimination by race, prosecutable under federal and state labor laws. They have hired a 3rd party firm to handle the...

More Info The LNBs are attached to a properly-grounded DP34 switch (I know it's properly grounded because it originally was not, and DISH had to send someone out to install 2 grounding blocks a few months ago. (The installer had grounded directly to the DP34, which is not acceptable.) And I...

My system occasionally reports a switch error, usually just during rainstorms, which is dismissable as weather, but sometimes it happens for no good reason. I usually have very good signal, all in the 100s and 110s, and I got this error today, and went outside to see if anything was obstructing...

Maybe it wasn't here, I get confused easily, but I've read several times, people posting a method of removing passwords without calling Dish. Usually, it's the same old 'sob story' that goes something like this: "I bought an (Insert Model Name Here) at (eBay, Yard Sale, Goodwill...) and it has...

From what I've heard, Dish can't get some of those channels because other Pay TV providers have shelled out mega-$$$ for exclusivity contracts, or the programmers are demanding exorbitant amounts of ca$h. Yes, if you're a yankee fan, YES might be nice, but would you be willing to pay $15/month...

522s aren't perfect receivers. We own one, it's crashed 3 or 4 times in the 6-7 months we've had it. The "Disk Diagnostics" thingy is triggered when it thinks there's a hard drive problem. I think that moisture in the air is the problem with ours, it always does that right after someone's had...

"Certainly have a lot of faith in America's Children." Guess what, I'm one of them. I have very little faith in my fellow young people, and with good reason. Furthermore, my mother is a TSR 2/Advanced Tech at Dish Network's main technical support center. I asked her about these calls, and...

I've noticed a few people on here telling people how to clear receiver passwords on Dish Network receivers. Please don't do this, just ask them to call Dish Tech Support. The Tech Support CSRs are competent enough to reset a password (at least most of them are, Dish has been doing big-time...

Dish Network really is trying to keep quality products and services. I agree that the $5 DVR fee is ridiculous. Originally, with the 501/508 they didn't charge the DVR fee, but they brought it in with the 510 because everyone else had DVR fees, so they saw it as 'lost money.' As for the...

I've been reading posts on here for a while, and I see a lot of complaints. Personally, I don't have that much trouble with my DISH equipment. I currently have a 522/322, and 2 dishes, both DP 500s, but one only has 1 LNB for 61.4. The signal is a lot more reliable than it was with my old RCA...
