    Cancelled Dish

    Hi, I’m cancelling my Dish service and I have 2 222k’s, a 211 and a 722k with the sling adapter. Worth anything or just bring them all to the recycler at this point.

    Activation

    Hi, New to this side of the board. I'm wondering, do you still need to have a SSN to activate DirecTV or can you just buy your own equipment online from a place like Solid Signal (receiver and sat) install yourself and activate it via phone? Thanks, J

    Switch to DirectTV

    Hi, I keep debating upgrading my Dish 722 equipment, or just switching over to DirecTV. I like the idea of having HBO again and that NHL Center Ice actually has HD feeds from Canadian teams. What are the downsides about DirectTV though in comparison? No need for snide remarks etc, just...

    Old equipment

    So if I buy a new Hopper 3 etc, is it fine just to scrap the two 222's and one 722 I have?

    Dish Pause

    Hi everyone, So I paused my service a few months ago, I only had Flex and the News pack and have an overpayment of $8.72 on account. I went to unpause the service today and was told with fees and having lost my half price loyalty equipment credit (that I own btw) that to reconnect it's going...

    What do I need?

    Hi, I feel like I'm coming over to the dark side after having had Dish for 10 years. Anyway a couple of questions, does DirecTV still require a SSN to get service or do they now offer a pay as you go service wherein you buy everything yourself? Furthermore I'm right on the northern...

    Cancelling service?

    Just curious, if I cancel my service with the 722k, and decide to come back can I still reactive it on my account? Or does Dish have a vacation option, like some providers, to temporally suspend service?

    Hopper 3 Activation

    Hi, Quick question, if anyone knows for sure, if I buy a Hopper 3 for full price am I able to just call and activate it on my own, or do I need a dish technician to come out and do it? Got some conflicting answers on this from the CSR's at Dish. Thanks, J

    722k Sling Adaptor Questions

    Hi, I have a 722k with the sling adaptor, it still seems to work. I use the 722 in one room and a fire stick with Dish Anywhere on it in the other. The info I'm reading seems to be a little vague. Is this receiver and adaptor coming to an end? Another question, if I were to cancel my Dish...

    722k done?

    Hi, I read on other posts that the 722 might be obsolete. I still have my 722 with a sling adaptor that works fine for me, am I in danger of having to upgrade to a Hopper to keep service? And if I did so does it mean I would have to change my satellite installation, currently I have an...

    MLB Extra Innings

    Hi, Maybe I'm being too impatient, but I still don't see MLB Extra Innings as an option to buy, does anyone know if Dish and MLB somehow had a falling out, which wouldn't be surprising at this point, and it's not going to be offered this season? Thanks, JD

    NHL Center Ice

    Hey all, For those who love their hockey like I do, NHL Center Ice it's now up for purchase under PPV for $160. It looks like you can still authenticate NHL TV (online streaming access) by subscribing to Center Ice. Available a lot earlier than last year via Dish so some pre-season games may...

    Dish Anywhere Fire Stick

    Has anyone ever used the Dish Anywhere App on Amazon Fire Stick via a 722k receiver with the sling attachment? Reason I ask is I find the app to be really clunky, slow to change channels, etc, via web browser and was wondering if the app itself via Fire Stick is the same experience? Thanks, J

    Switch out 722k for Hopper 3

    Hi, I currently have a 722k receiver hooked up to an Eastern Arc dish, if I were to buy a Hopper 3 on eBay, brand new not activated, is it just a matter of unhooking the 722k and screwing the co-axial wire into the Hopper 3? Is there anything I would need to do to the dish itself, new switches...

    NHL Center Ice now comes with NHL TV

    For those interested, you can now authenticate NHL TV online with your Dish Center Ice subscription. I like to think all my persistence with Dish customer service over the issue finally paid off :-). Of course I already had bought both anyway :(.

    NHL Center Ice

    2 Hopper, 2 Joey Setup

    Hi all, Is it possible to setup 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys on the same account, but the two are isolated from each other? My setup now is that I have 2 722k's both running to an extra TV via composite cables. My wife's 722 is wired to the two rooms she typically watches TV in and mine to the two...

    Replaced Satellite

    Hi, I live in north eastern Maine, and I recently change out my 3 LBN eastern arc dish (I don't get 77 anyway) as sats were constantly losing signal. Have to say, getting the newer dual LNB eastern arc dish (61.5/72) was a huge improvement signal wise and must easier to point. I know this...

    Low Signal on 72

    Hi everyone, Lately I've been getting a really low signal on 72, transponder's 20 and 4 especially, often times getting nothing at all, but the other transponders are fine. Nothing has changed via my setup, could that be a switch issue? Something else? Thanks, J

    Hard Drive Failure 722k

    Hi everyone, I woke up this morning and got the 'hard drive failure' error on my 722k. There's no warranty left on my receiver, I own the equipment, so I opened it up and removed the drive, tested it and as I expected its completely dead. I tried replacing it with another I had laying around...

    NHL Center Ice

    Hi, Does anyone know if Dish is going to be offering online access with a Center Ice subscription this season? I know they did it with MLB, but not usually Center Ice, I just thought maybe there was a possibility. Thanks, J

    1000.2 and 1000.4 Eastern Arc switch out LNB's

    Hi, I have a 1000.4 Eastern Arc setup, the one with the 3 LNB's (61.5, 72.7 and 77). I don't get 77, never have and don't need it for locals. Anyway I'm wondering can I switch out the triple eye LNB and it's bracket for the 1000.2 dual LNB (61.5 and 72.7) without having to take the dish off...

    Sling adaptor not working.

    Hi everyone, I have a dish 722k hooked up to a sling adaptor, which all of a sudden just stopped working tonight. I've unplugged and reset the receiver to no avail. The light is not coming on the sling adaptor at all, I've checked and I have a good network connection, just no sling...
