    dish 722 on the road?

    And if your Fifth wheel is anything like ours was, you can easily supply Dish programming to your bedroom TV. Like at home, you will only be able to view SD programming there.

    722k question

    After many great ears of service, my trusty 722k with installed add-on OTA module finally failed. Dish brought out a new 722k that came with the internal OTA module in place. All was well until I tried to record two OTA programs at the same time (as I was able to do with my previous 722k), and...

    OTA EPG Info Incorrect or Displaying 'Digital Service'

    Here's mine: DVR: 722k with locals module installed. Software version: L750 Stations with wrong local module guide info: channel 2.1 KBOI (CBS) channel 2.2 KYUU (CW). Note: The Locals guide indicates the proper channel identifiers... KBOI and KYUU but the guide info for those two local...

    Dish OTA Module

    Looks to me like the OP just has a faulty OTA tuner. Mine, like the other responders, works as well...or better than the other tuners in the house.

    722K Freeze/Reboot Problem

    Normally, I hate "Me Too's", but this exact trouble sequence struck my 722k a little over two weeks ago. (My 722k had been flawless until this sequence began.) As for DISH, they were quick to RMA the DVR and send me a replacement.

    Another way to PVR controls?

    I'm wondering if there is a different way to get to the PVR/DOD menu on my 722k. (I mean other than pressing the DVR button on the remote.) Seems to me that there should also be a menu option to take you to the same place. Did I miss something?? Thanks, rich..

    I hate Dish, how the heck can I cancel?

    I'm wondering if he has any cheese to go with that whine. Looks more like a troll to me.

    HD output problem

    Hey! Thanks much!! Yep, that was the problem. I had read the manual, but had not seen the reference to the format key on the remote. :( Had been living with the partial stretch for some time, and am very happy to have my full screen HD back.:) Hope to return the favor someday!!

    HD output problem

    Here's one for the experts out there. I have a 722k hooked up to a Pioneer PDP 5050HD via HDMI. My problem is this: On any HD channel my TV shows "Partial Zoom", and I do not get full screen HD. The TV is set to auto detect via the HDMI connection, and the 722k is set to 1080i. Is...

    DVR service charge question

    Variety is nice, but if you are anything like me you watch very few of the available channels. I have the Classic Silver 200 package and truly doubt if I watch 50, of the 200 plus channels available to me. There are 1 or 2 other channels I would watch if they were in my package, but it's...

    BBCAHD.....

    Probably as well as those who have been watching for a long time. An interesting show, with lots of twists and turns. There is a miniseries starting today. As with any miniseries, if you were to start watching in the middle of the series you might be somewhat confused.

    Reply from ceo@dishnetwork.com

    I needed to talk with them after we suffered a loss of some of our service. We had placed the service on hold while we spent the Winter in AZ. When we came back we were unable to get our previous service completely reinstated. After talking with several customer support types I gave up...

    722K Screen Saver

    You wouldn't save any electricity even if the 722 did go into screensaver mode nce the plasma monitor would still be active while showing the screensaver data.:)

    dish 722 on the road?

    Wow! Thanks for that information! I guess I really didn't understand the proper setup for a single line hookup the 722. :confused: I am used to a Dish 508, and it only has the single input hookup. Thanks again! :)

    dish 722 on the road?

    Thanks for the input lakebum. What about switches and diplexers? There's only one Satellite TV connection available outside of the trailer. Any thoughts? Guess I'll have to do some research and see what these items will cost before we do the upgrade to the 722. I appreciate your help.

    dish 722 on the road?

    Thinking about upgrading to a 722. Since we will be taking our fifth wheel trailer to AZ for the Winter we'd like to take the 722 along so we could record shows we'd miss while away from the trailer. I know we'd lose our locals in this process. What additional equipment (Antenna, cables...

    First Look: Dish Network's DTVPal Digital Converter

    Rperlberg, who pee'd in your cornflakes this morning? This is Scott's site, and as the owner he can make whatever rules he pleases with it. As a user, your options are to live with his rules...or find another site which closer matches your philosophy.

    First Look: Dish Network's DTVPal Digital Converter

    Scott, I guess the big question is still: Where can we presently buy the DTVPal and still use our coupon?? Will Radio Shack, or any other authorized dealer be taking pre orders and letting us use the coupon? My coupons run out early next month.

    Echostar Considers Spin Off

    I think this might well be the case. One has to wonder just what advantages/disadvantages this would pose for us users.

    Poor Service

    He is exactly right! Someone from the company SHOULD HAVE CALLED!! I'm sure most, if not all of the install tech's have either cell phones or direct contact with their dispatch. It only takes a minute to accomplish this, and what a difference (in terms of good will) it makes for the customer.
