Back on this forum for the first time in a few, maybe several years - have had no real problems and was basically on cruise control with Dish until... My rates went way up a month or so ago after my latest commitment ended. I've been with Dish for close to 20 years, and it used to be when one...

My 722 VIP is being replaced with a Hopper 3 tomorrow (yeah!) . Dish phone rep said the install tech will take care of transferring DVR recordings from my 722 to the Hopper. They said I cannot use a USB drive to transfer, as the Hopper will format the EHD and I'll lose all my recording. However...

Is there an adapter available that allows a Stratus 7 to plug into old Sportster gear, as shown in the pic? I have an old boombox, executive doc, and car adapter I'd like to use with it. I still have an old Sportster too, and if an adapter exists, it will make all my stuff compatible. And yes...

How can I find if a specific movie is availble to rent to DVR via BBMP? On the DVR, you can specify genres etc, but then you have to scroll through tons of stuff. I tried on BBMP section of Dish website, not much luck there either. I'd really like to key in a specific movie name (like you can...

Searched a bunch as figured this has been covered but can't find it... I'm an existing member of the Blockbuster disc by mail program. If I want to switch to the Dish/Blockbuster deal (which is a better deal), do I just cancel my regular BB Online account then go to Dish website and add it...

I'm trying Dish Cinema for the first time. I have broadband setup etc OK (I'm a computer/network tech by trade). Short Version: Trying to watch Predators (hey its free!), screen is black/no audio. But if I hit Pause/Info/FF/RR it acts like it would if it was playing something (little pause...

A few years back, I had a 622 and a 522 on my account. I determined I really only needed one receiver, so called and had the 522 deactivated. I asked if they wanted me to send it back, they said no, I could hang onto it as a spare and/or activate it in the future if needed. Basically they didn't...

I called Dish a few nights ago to try to get: Eastern Arc 1000.4 dish Trade my 622 with dead HDMI for a 722 Free HD for Life promo Told them I would take a commitment and sign up for DHPP, but I wanted to make sure I could still get the HD for Life thing. Wasn't sure if I should take care of...

Lately 61.5 has been kinda flaky, but it seemed mostly a few of the cinemax channels, and I have that (possibly expired) cinemax for penny deal so thought it might be related. However, tonight I can't get the HD feed for Comedy Central (Now it's personal!). Screen says: Satellite signal has...

I have an older TV connected to the TV2 RF output on my VIP622. That TV is dieing, so I'm looking at some new small LCD TV's. Will new TV's with a coax input be compatible? That is, can I still tune them to the "old fashioned" UHF channel 73 to the RF/Coax signal from my VIP622? Since the...

I've been poking around on the Dish Network site for 10 minutes now and I can't find this simple bit of info (without starting the whole purchase/config crap). I got the Cinemax for a penny for a year deal almost a year ago and just wanna know how much it will cost after the promo period is...

DishOnline won't stay online (VIP622 Broadband problem) I finally got around to plugging my 622 into my router to check out Dish Online. I'm using a cable modem (Comcast) and a Linksys WRV200 router with latest firmware ( 1.0.39). The VIP622 gets an IP address, I can get a list of stuff...

I was on the phone with Dish to switch from HD Ultimate to HD Essentials, and just for the heck of it asked if it would be possible to swap out my 522 for a 722, and if so how much would that cost. She said upgrading the 522 to a 722 would cost $75 (one time fee) with a 2 year commitment (or as...

My dad's VIP211 is having a problem, so I went over to check it out and called Dish for him. (he's 80, non-technical, and has very bad vision) His 211 has been stuck on the Aquiring Satellites screen all day, and just cycling through the transponder on 119, staying at step 0 of 5 (I'm pulling...

From reading various post here, it seems like: RSN's have been back burnered USB Support is technically done, but back burnered (they can't seem to schedule a sales meeting to figure out how much to charge until June) Doesn't seem like there's any roll out of new HD channels planned...

Any one else silly enough to flip between all the HD channels showing the SOTU Address to compare PQ? (locals vs HDNet vs HDNWS) I'm guessing they all use the same feed so some variables are eliminated? Maybe not a sound theory, I'm no expert, but it's an interesting little experiment. Will be...

My Dad recently became a dish subscriber. He has the DishHD Silver package with Boston locals. Receivers are a VIP211 and a 625, and dishes pointing at 61.5/110/119. Zip code is 01930 (boston area) When baseball season starts, will he be able to get Red Sox games in HD? What station(s) will...

Sometimes I have no center channel on Universal HD. Caught it in the act right now, while watching Back To the Future. Actually, seem like I just have left and right channels, no center or rear surrounds. If I switch to another HD channel, I get full 5.1 Receiver (Denon AVR3801) shows Dobly...

When you pause a live broadcast, is there any way to toggle off that little status bar thing that takes up the bottom quarter of the screen? Sometimes when I pause to get a better look at something it gets in the way. This is for a 622 and/or 522.

My 522 has been freezing up about once a day for the last week or so. I have to hold down the power button for 15 seconds, or unlug it (for 15 seconds of course), then let it boot up. I get a Hard Drive diagnostic screen (599 in upper right corner). It runs through, then works fine for another...

I had two 522’s and AT60 with locals. I traded one of the 522’s for a 622 with the $299 upgrade deal so now I have: One 522, one 622, HD Bronze with locals. I’m questioning two of the fee changes resulting from this upgrade: I am now getting charged monthly fees for BOTH receivers: “1...

I’ve searched around the forum for this but have not found an answer… I just received my 622 via UPS that will replace one of my two 522’s. Can I just unplug the coax connections (the 2 sat feeds and the agile) from the old 522 and plug in my 622? I’m not concerned/asking about audio/video...

I currently have two 522’s, and a Dish 500 pointed at 110 and 119. I’m probably gonna call E* to upgrade one 522 to a 622 with E*’s $300 deal and finally have HD. I currently have AT60+locals, looking to upgrade to the Bronze HD package. What I’m trying to figure out, and I’d like some...

Hi all! I’ve been lurking here for a while – learned quite a bit… but I can’t seen to find any info on this particular problem: I signed up with E* a year ago (almost to the day). Got a Dish500 and two 522’s. In general, I’ve been very happy with them – no problems – except – When the...
