    The Weather Channel....is BACK!

    What Weather? You mean Directv is not reaching an agreement with Comcast/Universal. Gee, I am shocked. It used to be the Weather Channel but now it is reality shows and you never know when it is actual weather information. I am a Dish customer and could care less if Dish dumped it like it did...

    Dish dispute with Sinclair...reached deal in principle

    I find it interesting that Sinclair notes their stations are available on Directv, FIOs and ATT. Well, that is until those contracts run out and then they will face the same highway robbery. You would think that Sinclair would realize that if Dish and other providers didn't carry their stations...

    Also out in Culpeper VA. VIP722K TV2 worked sort of. TV1 error 015 and error 004. Cloudless and moon bright evening. Rest, rebooted, stood on one leg and rubbed my belly. Nothing worked. Waited 20 minutes for chat since phone service at DISH nonexistent. "An Uplink Center is out," said chatter...

    ANOTHER FREEZE UP VIP722K

    If you have an OTA module, there is a conflict that causes the remote to become useless, the screen or nanner freeze and reboot to occur. DISH hopes that software update L752 corrects the problem. It was rolled out in June and July. We shall see.

    722K with OTA Module locking up

    Michael, Mine freezes at least once a day. Same thing, remote freeze, followed by black screen, followed by reboot. All due to OTA. I record too much stuff on OTA and girlfriend cannot watch live SAT channels if I record DVR on SAT instead of OTA. OTA is a great feature, but the problem is that...

    722K with OTA Module locking up

    I have had that issue with my DVR and had to go to TV2 to stop the recording. I also had an issue where the autotune would not work. I think this software has become so complicated and filled wth bugs.

    722K with OTA Module locking up

    Work around? Why should we be forced to do work-arounds with faulty receiver software. With my viewing habits, I am not sure I can avoid OTA channels. After all, that is why I have the OTA module. I get my so-called "locals" from DC but prefer my local news, weather and some other programs...

    722K with OTA Module locking up

    Zach? Does this mean that DISH, finally after four months of phone calls, prviding acount info, three receivers and countless unexpected reboots, admits it has a problem? Is that what you are saying? And we have to endure this situation how much longer? If you can't figure it out, me and the...

    722K with OTA Module locking up

    Redneck, it is OK. I have kept copious notes on my (our) problem. If we have to wait until June, DISH should be cutting the bill because it is their software causing the problem not us. They should do the right thing.

    Folks....This is the exact same issue being discussed at length on the DISH support forum, but for some reason that forum is no longer available.
