    Dish Online: one laptop works while another doesn't

    We have two relatively new and powerful Dell laptops, one of which plays back content from Dish Online successfully most of the time. The other always loses the connection in a few minutes (when it plays back at all). Both are connected to the same wireless network; so, I'm assuming the...

    Dish doesn't recognize subscription.

    We have Dish's America's Top 120 package. Lately, in the middle of a program to which we are subscribed (e.g., an HGTV program) we will get a screen telling us we are watching a channel to which we are not subscribed. We then get an offer to upgrade and a Customer Support download. Does...

    MT2 OTA Module

    We use a 722k with a Sling Adapter to watch TV from our PCs. Initially, it worked well. However, since Dish Remote Access is gone and Dish Online is the only option, we are able to make and keep a connection maybe 40% of the time. Our service for local stations is via satellite. I'm...

    DISH Online took a dive

    The ability to access live TV online was my main reason for choosing Dish. Using a Sling Adapter with a 722k, I had very few problems with Dish Remote Access. Now, with Dish Online, the service has become almost completely useless. Sometimes, the login to DRA times out. Sometimes, when we...

    Sling Adapter in "Record mode"

    We log in, go to Dish Remote Access, select a show in the current time range, but we only get a Record option; we don't get a Watch on Web option.

    Sling Adapter in "Record mode"

    For some reason, our Sling Adapter will no longer let us watch live TV. It only will record. Any idea why? The 722k works fine; i.e., shows live TV.

    Problem using dual mode with sling adapter

    I have the following set-up: TV1 and TV2 hooked up to 722k with Sling Adapter; 722k in dual mode. Note: We don't have an MT2 module, but we do get local programming over satellite. Problem: My wife records her Soaps at noon. If I try to watch local programming on my PC, I have to stop the...

    HD Quality with Sling Adapter

    I was away for a while and couldn't get back to this. The Sling model I have is SB 700-100. I don't follow you when you say "Yes, the MT2 module is necessary to add OTA channels to your 722k." I do not have an MT2 module installed but I do get local stations.

    HD Quality with Sling Adapter

    We just moved to a new place and had Dish installed. We have a 722k with a Sling. The installer showed me a U-shaped row of lights on the Sling and said that as the required software downloaded, more lights would turn on. This could take as long as 24 hours. Our broadband router is in...

    Question about PC as TV capabilities

    I'm unclear about viewing live TV or a recorded movie on a PC. I'm contemplating setting up my TV service so that TV1 and TV2 are controlled by a 722k Duo with a Sling Adapter, while TV3 is controlled by a 211 HD Solo. If all 3 TVs were in use, could I still login to my Dish account, using a...

    Sling Adapter and Google TV

    I just went online to get a quote for DISH Network service. My quote was based on a 722k receiver with Sling Adapter. However, the quote did not show any charge for Google TV. Perhaps someone can help me out with this. 1) I thought the sole purpose of the Sling Adapter is to enable TV...

    722k capabilities

    I'm a newbie. How would I "mirror via component"? Would that mean running wires from one room to another?

    722k capabilities

    Consider, for example, that I have an HDTV connected to a 722k with an HDMI cable in the LR. Also, I have 3 other HDTVs connected to coax in 3 other rooms. Is it correct to say that the 722k could control any 2 of those 4 TVs at a time, but only the TV connected with an HDMI cable would be...

    Does Direct TV have any counterpart to Dish Network's TV Everywhere

    Thanks very much. Actually, I realize that I was wrong when I said "I can place an internet ready TV or a laptop in any room." An internet ready TV would still need to be connected to the home cable network because it can only access content provided by the manufacturer. It can't browse the...

    Does Direct TV have any counterpart to Dish Network's TV Everywhere

    First let me say, I'm not trolling. I have no connection whatever to Dish Network. And I know precious little about satellite TV. I'm a newbie, trying to learn, and trying to decide what service to get when I move into a new home at the end of the month. What I like about Dish Network's...

    Noob: Does this configuration make sense?

    I mentioned in an earlier post that we're moving to a new home. We would like to set up our TV service so that we could view live TV (OTA or satellite) or movies on our TVs or on our laptops. Also, we would like to maximize the mobility of our “viewing stations” (TVs or laptops). For...

    DISH w/o Land Line

    Thanks very much to everyone who replied. If I understand correctly, there is a difference between the ability to record and the ability to playback/view. Ref: "Even though it can record 4 things at the same time with the OTA module, you are only able to run 2 TV's simultaneously. 1 box= 2...

    DISH w/o Land Line

    Hello Everyone, I'm a total newbie to satellite TV. I'm moving into a new home, and I'm trying to learn enough to decide whether I want to get DISH Network. There are a couple of questions I'm hoping I can get answered. 1) I'm reading the ViP722k manual, trying to learn how things work...
