    Amazon Prime no-ad upgrade not recognized on Dish app

    Upgraded Amazon Prime to No-ad status online this morning. But when I opened the Dish Prime app this evening, it asked if I wanted to upgrade with no option for "already upgraded". Wondering if this Is just a lag in registering the change, or if this is a bug in the app software. Bill

    No YouTube app on wired Joey 3

    I have a Hopper 3 that includes the YouTube app which works fine. I also have two wired Joey 3s. One of the Joeys lists YouTube among the apps available, but not the second one. Why would that be and how do I get the missing YouTube app on the second Joey? Bill

    Netflix cc problem

    Been having problems with cc (closed captioning) on Netflix the last few weeks. On several different series I'll find that cc works on some episodes but not others. For example, cc might work on episode 2 of Cheers, but not episode 3, and then it is back on episode 4. I've tried turning cc off...

    Freeze-up on Amazon Prime video

    This has happened twice now. I start up AP video and select a show (Jack Ryan). My wife wants closed captioning so I hit pause to turn it on once the program starts. (Unlike Netflix, AP doesn't seem to remember that cc was turned on or the selected text size from the last viewing.) It is when I...

    004 error on tuner 2

    I recently got a refurbished replacement for a dead 722. I noticed that I would get a 004 error (missing channel signal) on certain channels like CNN at some times but not others.

    DISH remote access: any method to the madness?

    I tried to use the Dish remote access via the website while on vacation. The results were confusing to say the least! First of all, the online guide seemed to show every local station with the same channel #s as my SD locals whether in my DMA or not, but left out all of my HD locals. I tried...

    Has the DTVPal DVR started shipping yet? (Yes)

    When I pre-ordered mine on Dec. 1, I was told the expected shipping date was Dec. 17th. When I checked the web site today, it says that orders placed after Dec. 6th are expected to ship Jan. 12th, but says nothing about earlier orders. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything. Was hoping to...

    Tried to order a DTVPal DVR

    Since Dish does not offer HD locals in my area and none are scheduled in the foreseeable future, the DTVPal DVR looked like the perfect way to go. Went to the DTVPal website where it stated the DTVPal Plus could be preordered now for delivery around 12/17. Clicked on "Order" and filled out...

    Is anyone getting the free locals on a 921 or 622?

    I'm getting them in the 2-69 range on my 301 and in the 7000 range on my 6000, but nothing on my 921. Been thinking about upgrading to a 622, so I'm wondering about that receiver as well.

    Lost HD channels on 110

    My 921 shows no lock on any of the 110 HD channels. OTA and CBS-HD on 61.5 are fine as well all my SD channels. This happened about 2:27 CST and they are still not back. Same thing on my 6000. Anyone else having this problem?
