    HR34 (Genie) recording duplicates on Series Recording

    On Friday I set up our new HR34 to do a bunch of Series Recordings. I noticed on a show recording tonight that it recorded twice. Then I checked the "To Do List" and pretty much all of the upcoming NEW episodes are scheduled to be recorded twice. The funny thing is when I checked the "To Do...

    New Install - Nervous and some final questions

    Here's some basic background. I'm switching over from E* after almost 8 years of service. E* has treated us right and we've enjoyed being a customer. We've never really considered switching providers until we purchased new HDTVs for our home over Black Friday weekend. Due to our growing family...

    2 Hopper setup questions

    We're currently looking to move away from our single 722 DVR setup. Our family needs have grown and we've recently purchased HDTVs to replace our SDTVs. We're looking into getting a 2 Hopper/3 Joey setup and comparing it to DirecTV's Genie. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison but the...

    Thinking about switching to D* from E* - Questions on install and "Genie"

    Our household has just went from one HDTV in the family room to HDTVs in all rooms thanks to a bunch of Black Friday TV deals. We are currently with E* with an older 722 box that will no longer be sufficient for our family. We want a more robust solution with the DVR being accessible by everyone...

    "Warning 981" message - Two days in a row

    We have a 722 receiver that has given us a "Warning 981" "Boot Recovery" message two mornings in a row. This message is on screen lasts for at least 2-3 hours before finally going back to normal. It may be longer, as we turned on the TV/722 at 8:00 AM on both days and finally came on at around...

    Is the old $5.00 phone connection fee really gone (I want to unplug the phone line on my 722k)?

    I want to unplug my 722k from our phone line for several reasons. I wanted to make sure that one of three things wouldn't happen: 1) There isn't an incentive (that I can see) for keeping the phone line connected after removing the $5 discount. So I want to be sure that there isn't a special...

    722 with 6.0 UHF remote for TV1

    I have a 722 DVR that is using 5.0 and 6.0 remotes to control TV1 and TV2. From what I've read these remotes should have been replaced with a 5.3 and 6.3 remote when they swapped my DVR out from a 522 over a year and half ago. I assume the installer was lazy, maybe didn't think about swapping...

    722 & 322 - thinking about dropping the 322 and 14.00 Duo Fee question

    I'm sorry if this has been covered but I searched the forums but really didn't find an answer. I have a 722 & 322 receiver with AT250 programming and DVR service. My current monthly cost breakdown looks like this: $64.99 - America's Top 250 $14.00 - Duo (2TV) Receiver $6.00 - DVR Service...

    Problem with Favorites color in the guide on 722k

    Evidently, Dish did a software update on the 722. I noticed some things are different and that is OK. Except, they shuffled the colors on the favorites and it is beyond annoying. It used to be that "All", "All Sub" and "All HD" were a shade of blue. Then you had orange, green, yellow, etc. for...

    Remote troubles on TV2 UHF

    We have a 722 and 322 receiver. The 322 remotes work great on both TV1 IR and TV2 UHF. The 722 works fine on TV1 using IR remotes but we've had issues with TV2's UHF remote for awhile. It's almost non-responsive and very sluggish. I've tried changing remotes, batteries, repositioning the UHF...

    Is Pride 34 going to be on Dish?

    I went to their website and didn't see it listed as a PPV option. UFC 69 and BODOG are both there. I emailed Dish and all they said was that it wasn't listed for this Sunday. Anyone else have some insight?

    Weak spotbeam signal for locals on E10?

    I'm in the Charleston, SC DMA and our locals have moved to E10 on TP4 spotbeam 2, according to the chart I've checked. When I check the signal strength on TP 4 it is always around 89-91. The other TP's are usually around 100-105. I've read that your local/regional spotbeams are suppose to be...

    SuperDish repeak for 110/119 only?

    I read today on the SuperDish info thread that my locals are moving off of 105 to a 110 spotbeam in a couple of weeks. Seems that I've read that a 105 SuperDish is peaked for 105. Is it possible and worth it when the time comes to peak my SuperDish for 110/119 only??? If it is possible, how...

    522 diagnostics problems

    I woke up this morning and turned on the TV and the 522 was going through its HD diagnostics. It finishes, then acquires the satellite signal. When the channel comes on it goes for 5 seconds then the picture freezes. The 522 will either reboot and start the diagnostics again or just start the...

    EPG issues with 522 and L291

    I hate E* software engineers right now! :( This morning when I got up and started watching E* I tried to use the EPG. Well, it seems like it isn't updating properly. At first it wouldn't let me go past 1:00 PM today. After I rebooted several times it still wouldn't finally. I set to enable...
