You are right on the difference, but I could not order one from dish without upgrading to a DVR service. So i have to get it from the retailers instead of dish.
I will have to wait for someone here to throw some light on its usage with the 222K. Thanks
The discount is almost irrelevant, with tigerdirect selling the same for 210 to 220$ and no monthly charge (4$ with dish). EVen costco sells it for 230$.
The product details says that it works with all settop boxes and satellite receivers, it might not be able to use the DVR features of dish...
wow! So all my power outlets have broadband, all i need is another adaptor to tab into it right. Also is it safe to not use a surge protector, the tech plugged it to the wall directly to make use of the new adaptor
Hi, do we need to have a dish DVR service to use this? I ran through a few posts, saw some info, but wanted to be clear.
I have a VIP222K. any thoughts?
Yes you are right. Now i am pointing to 110, 119, 118 & 129. I did make sure that locals/hd premium channels/at250 hd channels and international are airing as expected. Good pointers.
Edit : He did not swap the 500 dish he initially got, instead he got a LNB kind of switch installed behind the...
The tech came with a 500+ dish and was adamant in replacing the existing one with this. I had to call dish and have them re-write the work order to put up a 1000+ so that i can get AT250 in HD as well as the international channels. Glad you posted the above, otherwise I will be missing all the...
Hi Mat, Mary caught up on this and resolved the same an hour back, I was away from my desk, so could not reply/post soon enough.
Thanks for your help, dishnetwork should provide a link to this forum in the "contact us" page, this is awesome.
Yes i learnt the above the hard way. I signed up with dish (From directv) during the last week of January. I was pointed to 67,5, 77 and 72 (facing south eastern)
During the installation i ensured that the setup would be able to get international packages, i was told yes. Today i added the...

The channel# is 510 and you can get 5 showings of the movie, before it expires, so essentially you have 10 to 12 hours.
Hi,
I wanted to try the HD platinum instead of StarZ, I talked with Dish (chat) and they could not do anything with this.
Can the dish tech person in this forum help me on this please.
Thanks
I do not see any offers listed under my account either. I got the 1 year starz package, but at 5$ per month (Signed up on 23rd of January).
So guys post the offers in this forum and we have to request the same through chat, seems like waste of resource, I will take it. Thanks again.
Hi, I moved to dish from directv.
It was easy to sign up for promotional offers while being a DirecTV customer. All i had to do was sign in to my account and the offers would show up on the "Premium" page (1st 3 months free for channel XYZ etc.,)
I could not find the same thing with the...
Thanks for the info, will have to keep my eyes open with the uplink post, i read about the move from 61.5 to 77 there.
I would check the menu 6 1 3 and see where all i am pointed to. Thanks again guys.
VIP 222K (External Hard Drive)
Hi, I am a newbie to Dish.
I just got a new install and a VIP 222K receiver. Does the 40$ fee apply to me (External hard drive).
Also the guy who installed the dish, pointed it to 61.5 orbit. I am not sure whether the AT250 and the international package i...
Hi, I could not find the above Free preview in channel# 583, any pointers. I checked and ensured that the channel 582 preview is available and i could watch the same.
Just wondering whether i am pointing to the right satellite to receive this channel.
Thanks
