    I'm Done with Dish

    After 13 years with Dish, I'm done. Started with a 300 box, to 6000 box, to 722. Always been satisfied with HD Only channel package but when they kicked everyone off Absolute, I only stayed because of discounts. Now those discounts are expired and my bill is now double what it was. So I started...

    722 top cover

    Looks like 13 years with Dish may be coming to a close soon... I modified the top cover of my 722 in attempt to cool it down. So when I send this thing back they are surely gonna hit me with some kind of "damage" fee. Just wondering how much? I'm checking eBay for parts, but wondering how...

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    Before Dish took over BB I had real good service. Now I'm seeing so many more people coming into the stores doing exchanges. This is great news for Dish/BB, but now all the movies I want are always checked out. Too much demand, not enough stock. And to make things worse, I've got 10 titles in my...

    Ordered Sling, (everyone) Forced to Add Locals

    Why can't Dish just do what I ask without changing my programming? Last time they automatically took me off HD Absolute (required multiple calls to ERT to get it back)... This time I chat to get free Sling deal and they automatically added locals to my programming (no mention during the chat...

    Remote Access Question

    I am able to use remote access to my 722, but I can only get to it by signing into my account on customersupport.dishnetwork.com and following a link that takes me to dish4.sling.com where I'm already logged in and the receiver connects automatically. I am not able to sign in when I go directly...

    722 Playback Over Error 04

    I watched the first 30min of the Raiders vs Broncos game live then hit record. So today I went to watch the recording and it won't play back at all. It just gives this error immediately when I access the show. Is there any way to "rebuild" the data, or is it a lost cause?

    Stuttering Video

    I've had my 722 for a while and never had this problem until the software that enabled 1080p VOD (L612). The problem is occassional stuttering or skipping frames in LIVE Tv. It happens if I leave it on a channel for over 30 or 40 min and won't go away unless I do a hard reboot. The skipping is...

    I Have 61.5 & 129- Which One am I Watching?

    Before I got my 722 installed I had 119/110 on a 500 and 61.5 on a 300 with a sw21. The installer put in 129/119/110 on a 1000.2 and I still have 61.5 on the 300. And I actually get a stronger signal on 61.5 than 129 because of trees. So when I'm flipping around to different 94XX channels...

    722 I'm a DVR Newbie

    722 Dish n it up Q?

    Last night when I switched to the HD only pack (online chat) I asked about replacing my 211 with a 722. She said for $125 I would get installation with any needed cabling and switches, and the only fee is $6 DVR fee. When I asked if there is a lease fee she said no. Does all that seem right...
