    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I have two SD - Non HD TVs (in addition to several HD TVs) which are now connected to 722K from the SD coax out using a conventional splitter. In a H/J set up how would these TVs be connected?

    Can you please tell us where this has come up and the reasoning behind not allowing VIPs on a Joey system? That is what I think I am going to need.

    External Hard Drive Error

    Not the issue. I already took care of the sleep problem a long time ago when I first bought the disk drive. It worked fine for a year. This problem is different in that it actually disconnects me.

    DTVPAL Remote Address Problem

    Not sure the point of this response. The original point was that dish network remotes are designed to operate different boxes. This one is not since it appears it cannot be set up to only operate the DTVPAL. The other posts have been helpful in understanding the issue. Just trying to figure...

    DTVPAL Remote Address Problem

    Looks like the DTVPAL remote also will control my 508. I tried changing the remote address of the 508 to "4" but it still controls it. I understood that DTVPAL was on "1". Does anybody know what the story is and how to get the DTVPAL not to control the 508?

    612 receivers with 722

    Advantage Of 612 Over 722 What is the advantage of 612 over 722? Is there a monthly price difference or is the only difference the upfront costs? Just don't understand the logic? I have 622 already hooked up to 2 HDTVs and am getting a 3rd TV and was thinking 722 unless I am missing...

    Dish Network 2008 CES Press Conference Discussion

    DVR Conversion As I am reading this you can take a 211 add a HD to it and have the equivalent of a HD DVR. Any idea on pricing for this capability. If there is no DVR charge then I would trade my 501 in and hook it up to a new HD TV with only the $5-6 lease fee and no DVR fee.
