    INFO option missing features - 3/11/2016

    Just FYI: I just noticed tonight that when pressing the INFO button on the H3 remote the option to view the trailer and also the pictures and TV shows/movies that each cast member was going to appear in on Dish are both notoriously absent. I assume it's a software update and there were...

    We currently have 7 receivers - are we out of luck?

    I'm reading that the Hopper/Joey system is maxed out at 6 (2 hoppers and 4 joeys). We currently have 7 HD receivers connected to 7 HD sets (with 1 HD DVR). Do we have any options to: a) Use a standalone Dish HD receiver for the 7th HDTV?; b) Purchase another joey on our own (or is 6 the...

    Just a quick clarification....

    I have been reading the materials posted here but still haven't ran across our particular configuration so thought I would ask what I hope to be a pretty straightforward question: We currently have a Dish 722 HD DVR (connected to a single television), and six other HD receivers throughout...

    Colossal Dish Install Failure - ?'s

    I *had* a 942 and three 811's until I bought into the 'Dish'n It Up' promo and I had the 622 and the 211 to replace the 942 and one of the 811's. I had a DPP44 already installed for these receivers. Dish uses a company called 'Blue Sky' to do their installs, etc. First installer comes over...

    Multi HD receivers + OTA?

    I have done a lot of searching to try and get an answer before I post but couldn't find what I was looking for. I currently have a 622 (not multi-room), a 211, and two 811's (connected via a Dish 1000/Dishpro Plus 44 Switch). In the near future I plan to add a DP 34 switch and add one more...

    Connecting DP34 To DP44 (adding receivers)

    I've tried to search and read as much as I can and I think I have the answer but want to make sure. I currently have 3 811's and a 942 DVR, running into a DP44 (I own one of the 811s). My DP44 switch is full and I want to add two more receivers to my setup (just basic non-HD receivers so...

    You guys see the D* HD Commercial today?

    Nice timing with the Super Bowl and great message. Something to the effect of "DirecTV will have 1500 HD channels across the country by year end". Nice way to get their HD message out there. It's amazing to me that Dish Network has so dramatically dropped the ball on HD. I know their current...

    How long for a reply from ceo@echostar.com?

    Anyone ever used this account to send related e-mail to? I am getting what I believe to be inaccurate information regarding my desire to upgrade my existing four receiver Dish system to three 811's and a 921/942. I have sent an e-mail to this account explaining the situation but have not...

    With the 942, why would anyone buy a 921?

    Supposedly, the last Charlie Chat featured the comment that there is no future for the 921, and that the 942 would be available for lease in February. With this information, and the fact that MPEG4 is around the corner with the 921 not being compatible, why in the world would anyone pay...

    A 'simple' OTA HD antenna solution?

    Simple question and I even searched antenna manufacturer web sites and couldn't find a clear answer. Using my current Dish Network setup, is there a way to mount an antenna outside but still use the rg-6 somehow that runs from my dish to the HD receivers in the house to connect the OTA HD...

    Basic: How do I connect an OTA HD Antenna?

    Simple question and I even searched antenna manufacturer web sites and couldn't fiind a clear answer. If I use a satellite setup, I have a satellite dish on my roof. Is there a way to mount an antenna outside but still use the rg-6 somehow that run from my dish to the HD receivers in the...

    If I move from Dish - Can I use same cable?

    As the subject implies, I currently have a 4 receiver Dish 500 setup and want to move to an HD setup with three of the receivers. I am still considering Dish and 2 811's and a 921 but after reading this forum for a few hours, it sounds like D* has a better HD lineup and plans to continue to...

    Why is Dish charging so much for the 811?

    I am a current Dish Network customer (have been for three+ years now). I have the Dish 500 with four receivers (one of them being a PVR). I subscribe to everything but the adult channels. With that information, I am now gearing up to enter the world of HDTV. I am purchasing two HD tvs in...
