    rebate issues.... surprise, surprise...

    I'm getting the error on my rebate "Does not meet Promotional Offer Qualifications". I upgraded my 625 to a 722 in November. Dish has to be the most unorganized company I have ever dealt with.

    Dishcomm does not work and no help from Tech Support

    I'm straight into the wall outlet and no luck, does Dishcomm communicate via IP, or does it uses a proprietary protocol over Homeplug? If it is straight IP then my 2 receivers should be talking to each other. Mack

    Dishcomm does not work and no help from Tech Support

    I finally got both my 722 and 622 getting an IP via homeplug after relocating the Netgear bridge. I run diagnostics from each receiver and the broadband is ok. According to the Netgear utility throughput stays steady around 9 mbps. Now for Dishcomm, I have tried as it states elsewhere in...

    Homeplug trouble

    Thanks, yea I've done the utility, and the strange part is signal looks good but cannot get an IP until I connect it via the extension in the next room. The two receivers do talk once they both have IP's.

    Homeplug trouble

    I purchased a Netgear XE102 plid and my 622 in the LR gets an IP fine, today I added a 722 in my sunroom about 30 feet away and no IP, I can run an extension cord to the next room and it gets an IP so it seems it must be a wiring or breaker issue. If I move the sunroom breaker to a different...

    Install help

    I'm through Embarq and they said they would ship the 722 but if they come out it will be a charge. If I am reading your post correctly it sounds like I need to add an additional diplexor in the sunroom and reverse the one upstairs. A picture would be worth a thousand words. :D

    Upgrade 622 or 722?

    I am going to do an upgrade and trying to decide 622 or 722. As I understand it the 622 will be $49 after rebate and the 722 $99 after rebate. Are there any compelling reasons to spend the extra $50? Thanks, Mack

    Dish install with Antenna

    About 35 miles, I currently get good OTA with a Silver Sensor using my 622 HD tuner , so I hope I will be able to do the same with the MANT510 in my sunroom.

    Dish and Embarq

    I currently have Dish and Embarq bundled and have no commitment. I'm thinking of dumping Embarq (DSL and Phone) but would like to keep Dish, I am also in need of a new Dish to receive my locals in HD. If I just cancel everything with Embarq, can I sign up as a new account directly thorugh Dish?

    If you can't get it to work , you can find the remotes for the 625 on Ebay for less than $10 bucks. I just got one for the same purpose you are describing.

    942 on the way - don't know when

    After much pleading Dish let me have the $250 lease upgrade. I'm real fuzzy on when I'll actually get it. I purchased Dish through Sprint but I had to convince Dish to let me do the upgrade then call Sprint to schedule the install. This was on Wednesday of this week, apparently the Dish rep...

    46 inch wide screen Sony and Dish 625 - bad picture

    Thanks for the response. My set is connected via S-video since the 625 does not offer component. I just emailed Dish about upgrading to a 942 so hopefully the will come through. Will the 942 help the appearance of an SD signal as well? Thanks, Mack
