It's not "for all intensive purposes"; it's "for all intents and purposes". - The Grammar Grandma

My equipment is all leased, so selling it is not an option. I spoke to another Dish rep today, who actually knew what he was doing. I ended up doing the originally contemplated tradein of one 301 for a 510, for $50 + 5/month. I appreciate the warning about this making me ineligible for a later...

I must confess a bit of stupidity: The receivers I have are obviously not 501's. They are just receivers; not DVR's. So, to restate, I have two receivers and one 510. What I am looking to do is replace one of the receivers with a DVR, at the least possible cost. What will that entail?

Interesting...she told me that because I already am paying the $5 fee for my existing 510 that I wouldn't have to pay it again, i.e. that the few is per subscriber, not per unit.

[This is my second attempt to post this. The first apparently didn't go through. If it did, I apologize for the duplication] I have two 501's and one 510 DVR, on lease for a couple of years. A Dish phone rep told me that because I have fulfilled my lease obligation I can trade in the 501's...

I have two 501 receivers and one 510 dvr, under lease for about the last two years. I just was told by a Dish rep that I can trade in the two 501's for two 510's for just a shipping charge of $50: no increase in my monthly bill, and no time obligation. She said this is because I've already...

Ah, I see. I'll try it. Perhaps some pertinent poetry to reveal my belles lettres education... ____________________________ There once was a man with a Dish, Who nurtured a long-standing wish, that a satellite man'll give him every channel and throw in a potato knish.

Thanks to all who responded. It appears that this is a real bug, so I guess I'll just muddle through (via rebooting or fiddling with the scrolling as suggested above) until it's fixed, either intentionally or serendipitously. With regard to my earlier complaint: I did, in a quick reading...

Bob, I'm not sure what benefit there is in telling me that my question is stupid, and that you haven't had this problem. I don't pretend to be an expert; that's why I'm here asking for help. I'm hoping to hear from someone who can provide some assistance. BTW, the Record and Select buttons...

I neglected to mention: this is a 510.

Sometimes when I navigate to a program in the Guide and press RECORD or SELECT, instead of going to the usual recording options box, the system simply returns to live TV. This will happen a few times, and then return to the correct behavior even though I've done nothing different. Any...

Thanks for the response, "Applied". May I ask for clarification of two terms that you used: "should": meaning, a) justice demands it, or b) I have reason to believe that it really will happen "near future": a) There's an announced plan for a software update within the next few...

I've set up a Monday-Friday recording of, say, Law & Order at 9 o'clock. But on one occasion a few days from now I want to record something else instead. Can I create this exception without deleting my regular recording? The only thing I can see to do is to set up each day manually until...
