So this landed in my postal mailbox today... --------------------------------------------------------- DISH GIVES YOU A CHOICE and a way to save $12/month DISH is the only television provider to allow you to chose how to receive your Local Channels (ABC, CBS, FUX and NBC). Today you receive...

I'm currently off-contract. I know the drill (unless it's changed recently), have been through it before: negotiate for a discount at contract time. Let the contract run its course, of course then the price goes up. Then call and negotiate at renewal time. Been there, done that a few times...

I recently decided to upgrade one of the two external hard drives I've got attached to my Hopper. Old HD was 1.5 TB, went to Costco and got a new 2.0 TB drive to replace it (first I copied all the recordings off old EHD#2 and moved them to EHD#1). I unplugged old EHD#2, then plugged in new...

I'm now getting regular errors when transferring recorded programs, and I'm wondering if it's time to reformat the drives. Is that likely to help? Here's the details: I have... 1) Hopper with Sling (which has, I believe, a 1.5 TB internal HD - the "total size" is listed as 1231GB, which I'm...

So I called Dish today to upgrade our setup, and negotiate over pricing. Got a pretty good deal, I think ($45/month off for 12 months, then back to full price for another 12 months, with new gear). It took a little haggling (I declined 3 lesser offers before they offered this one), and overall...

Well it seems like making one small gear change in my house has triggered an unexpected (and unwanted) massive Cascading Technology Upgrade Chain Reaction* (see below). Sigh. The last time I paid any attention to the various hardware pieces in my home TV setup was 2 or 3 years ago when we...

First, a simple question (I think) and then maybe some more complex issues... (sorry for the length of my post, I'm only slightly informed on this stuff and wanted to provide all the details needed to orient me - please be gentle) Is it true that a coax cable is not capable of transmitting HD...

So I've got my new EHD hooked up to my 722. A few questions - want to make sure I'm doing things right... It appears that in order to move a program from the internal HD to the EHD, one chooses the option to "archive" one or more programs - correct? Assuming that's the correct procedure, I...

So the internal HD on my 722 has filled up nearly to capacity. I ordered an external HD (EHD) which arrived today (1.5 TB Western Digital, with its own power supply). I had assumed that all I needed to do was plug in the EHD via USB, say OK the reformatting prompt, and would be done with it...

I have a Dish 722, which was originally set up to access my broadband internet connection via wifi (setup was done by the Dish installer guy). It's not the speediest internet connection, but it worked enough to check that off the installation list (I have not tried do download any programming...

New Dish customer here. After a few weeks of recording oodles of programs (most in fat HD), that giant hard drive is not looking quite so endless. I'll get more disciplined soon, but I had a question about the recordings I've been collecting... Every program has anywhere from a minute to...

I'm having new service installed today (in about 30 minutes, I think). I expect that our installation will probably be typical, and not particularly difficult: 3 TVs, all of which currently have existing coax cable. Nothing particularly tricky or unusual about our roof. If he can reuse the...

I'm walking through the Dish website, looking at options, and when I get to the page where you select an Installation Date/Time, I'm surprised to see that both saturdays and sundays are selectable. Do they really do installations on saturdays and sundays?

Alright boys, please be gentle - it's my first time and I'm just learning about all this stuff... I've been getting by with a simple, basic setup using old technology for a long time: basic cable from Comcast feeding 3 older, analog TVs, and that's about it (well, there are a couple of DVRs...
