Hey everyone. I just bought a new home theater system. I was wondering if there was a way to get Surround Sound from my Dish receiver. I did a search in the forum but didn't quite find the answer. I read that only certain stations broadcast in Dolby 5.1. I don't have HDTV, and in fact I only...

My 625 just died. The fan keeps turning on and off, followed by the hard drive whirring sound, as if it keeps trying to start, but it won't send any signal to any of the TVs. I called up Tech Support and they are sending me another unit. The problem is I had a TON of programs recorded that I...

I have an old TV that only gets 13 channels in VHF. I want it to be my second TV (on a dual-tuner box), but in the Dish setup I only see TV 2 being Channels 21 on, etc. whereas the first TV is 2-3. Is there any way to switch this around? I really hope so, because it's on another floor...

Hey guys. I had purchased a JVC receiver that I had been using, but now that I'm renting again, I have no use for it. Is it ok for me to sell that receiver and the blue smartcard that came with it, as well as the replacement yellow smartcard that they sent me? Does Dish Network have any problems...

I just switched back from Cable to Dish, and I was wondering why FX isn't included in the Top 60 package. I was used to having it with basic regular cable, and I thought it was just a "normal" channel. Although Dish does have SciFi which regular cable did not. So I'm not really complaining. But...

I just completely lost my signal. It tells me there is a switch error, and when I run the switch test it gives me a different result everytime. It also keeps going through "Acquiring Satellite Signal" and goes from step 0 to 1 to 0 to 1 to 0 to 1.. etc. I called them up and they will send...

I was wondering if there was a site that listed the schedule for the Free Preview Channels (the international ones on 574, 575, etc.) so we could know what channel was going to come on what day. Are there any American Free Preview channels also? Thanks!

Just wondering if there was some kind of Web resource guide / tips/ tricks, etc. for Dish DVR. I just got it and am playing around with it but my installer didn't really show me anything and I'm not really sure how you're actually "supposed" to use it. Is there a way to change the quality on...

Hey guys, my installer used a bunch of diplexors in the installation, and I was just wondering how they work because I like to learn these things. So can someone please explain? All he said is they make his life much easier! Also, do they slow down changing channels in any way? I haven't had...

I just got the 625. I was playing around and trying out setting timers. How do you remove a deleted timer from the list? Thanks.

Hey everyone. Does DISH DVR 625 currently allow, or plan to allow, some way to network the device with your home network and transfer recorded shows to PC? Or hook-up of a VCR to the DVR, record old home videos, and transfer to PC for burning to DVD? According to my reading I believe Tivo has...

What are the advantages of leasing the official Dish DVR, versus buying a "generic" DVR (Tivo series 1, or S2 w/basic, i.e. ones with no monthly fee - hope I'm using the right terminology, I just spent hours learning this stuff!)? If you use the generic, can you still see the Dish program...

Hey guys. I recently spoke to a very nice fellow at Dish Network who said I can sign up for the Digital Home promo again if I commit to a 2 year contract. (I had previously been told I couldn't even do that!) Now, two years is a long time to commit, and I want to explore my options...
