    722k gets loud

    It appears the noise is connected to my Sling adapter. With the Sling positioned on top of the receiver on the left side and plugged in to the front, the receiver gets loud as often as every day. With the Sling positioned on top of the receiver on the right side and plugged in to the back, it...

    722k gets loud

    Well, I guess I had the hardly ever, because LNB drift remained after everything -- LNB and all wiring from LNB to the receiver -- was replaced. It only stopped after the receiver was swapped out. If I just have a loud fan that would mean the fan does not run when the receiver is first reset...

    722k gets loud

    722k was replaced a couple of weeks ago to correct an LNB Drift problem. Drift has not reappeared since I've had this receiver, but the receiver gets loud every morning about 9 o'clock. Sounds like a fan, could be the hard drive. First time I unplugged/replugged the receiver and the sound did...

    DVR fee credited for another 12 months

    Agreed that the no fee pledge was for the life of the receiver, which means no fee ever for that particular receiver. Dish made a business decision when it decided to purge these receivers and granted the DVR credit for two years so a new fee wouldn't discourage people from upgrading and...

    DVR fee credited for another 12 months

    Just learned by checking my bill that Dish apparently is waiving the $7 DVR fee for another 12 months for those who had a 501 or 508 receiver with free DVR. They added the DVR fee for these receivers 4 years ago, but offered a credit for two years even if you retired the receiver and upgraded...

    Intermittent signal loss

    Dish tech was out this week to correct my LNB drift. Dish waived the service fee. Tech was concerned about my installation, done 2 years ago, including a connector exposed to the weather, and replaced everything from the dish to the receiver. He said the only thing else it could be was my 722...

    Intermittent signal loss

    I rebooted by unplugging the receiver. Will check error messages. My problem seems different than shortspark's. I have no OTA module and the signal loss only occurs when I first tune a channel. No drops in the middle of viewing.

    Intermittent signal loss

    I had an HD dish and 722k installed two years ago. Never a problem until the last week to 10 days, During that time I have had several occasions when I enter a channel number, the receiver switches to it and shows the Complete Signal Loss screen. Almost every time, I do a channel down and a...

    Thank you Dish!!

    I received this postcard, too. I had DVR 25 and DVR 26 as credit on my August and September bills, but the credit is gone from my October bill. Anyone else lose it or is this an individual billing mistake?

    Difference between AT120 and AT120+

    I am a Top 120 subscriber. Two years ago my RSNs appeared on my account. When I inquired I was told they turned them on free for three months for longtime subscribers. I've been with Dish for 16 years. Two years later they are still there. I figured I'd lose them when I upgraded to HD a few...

    Annual Paid Programming Ceased

    I expect the primary reason for the end of the program is the current financial climate. Dish offered one month free when you paid annually, and that is what I still received when I paid my annual bill in December. That is about a 9 percent savings. Figure in the month-to-month use of the...

    Dish Newtork Signal Levels Help needed

    The SD channels on that transponder are ones I don't watch so I don't know what pixelation might occur there. I have experienced only very minor and brief pixelation on any of the channels I do watch. I have 58 on TP10, 48 on TP14 and 33 on TP16. Sounds like the numbers are nothing to worry...

    Dish Newtork Signal Levels Help needed

    I switched from 110/119 to HD on the Eastern Arc about a month ago, and I have signal questions on 61.5, too, in SE Pa. Rain fade hasn't been a problem, but I have a low reading on transponder 16. After the install it was always at 36. Lately it has been 30 or 32. Other transponders are much...
