I've read recently that Dish has dropped the satellite logo so as to be more of a telecom player. I've also read of rumors of buying T-Mobile, which would be good as Dish owns some wireless spectrum and ATT had to fork over spectrum and $3B if the merger didn't go through. I currently have...

A couple of years ago I got FIOS installed and the guy did a crap job installing the cable and we got a leak in a room that cost us $3000 to basically redo the room. Nevertheless the wife is kind of not in favor of replacing cable (RG6?). We've been Dish customer since Dec 1998 so I assume the...

I have a VIP722K with a Sling Adapter and Home Plug. Works fine. I just bought a D-Link DHP-307AV which is essentially 2 Powerline adapters that run at up to 200 Mbps. I pulled out the Home Plug and stuck the D-Link in and it couldn't connect. Will it work? Do I have to unplug the 722 and...

I live chatted w someone in customer service and then someone higher up the ladder. She didn't know and said it would take 48-72 hours to get back to me. It's so neat they have a website to track it, it'd be nice to know how to apply for it

I just recently got a VIP722K, VIP612, a Sling adapter (on the 722) and a Turbo plug. The Turbo plug has an IP address on my local network as well as the 722 and 612. Here are my questions. To view via the Internet must I make the 722 "open" to the Internet. Does it use a specific port...

I presently have a few Dish 5xx DVR receivers attached to a Dish 500 dish. One of the receivers has a SW44 switch (installed in 1998). I was thinking of getting a VIP722K but I understand I need a DP44 and DP33 switch so I can use 1 cable. My question is what order do I hook up these switches...

I'm really confused right now about what exactly a slingloaded 922 is capable of. Do I need that outboard TV Everywhere sling gadget to watch it on my wireless notebook? Or does the Ethernet in the back connect to a wireless router the way I'm doing it right now? The Dish Remote. Do I just use...

I have a Dish 5XX DVR. Just recently, I noticed that either via remote OR the buttons on the front panel it takes the machine several seconds to respond to the command. It's almost as if the CPU inside is busy and cannot respond to commands quickly enough. Is there a way to re-set this machine...

Hi all, We have 3 Dish DVRs all in the 5XX series. Out of the 3 my wife's consistently works oddly. In essence every now and then a program that was recorded the day before disappears the next day. Events that were set up either don't kick off or they disappear. We've been on the phone w Dish...

For those interested, they updated the firmware to F206. No one noticed my posts on AVSFORM. Dish DTVPal DVR (ex-Echostar TR-50) Official Speculation and Order Info Thread - Page 110 - AVS Forum

I tried searching for the bullet points of the 922 but couldn't find them. My question is this. Can the 922 Slingbox also act as a slave for other devices like the present standalone version. If that's not clear enough, are there ports for connecting it up to a DVD player for instance and...

Unless I'm missing something here I could swear my DVRs used to spin their disk drives down after a few minutes when I powered it down. Did this change somewhere and if so why? I also checked the power save in the system setupmenu

Warner: Weak Economy Pushed Us to Blu-ray

Saw 3 HD-A20 for 174.99 at Best Buy Commack, NY. Only one had remote and manual in a plastic bag. Seemed to be in good shape. Was there approx 10:15 AM 12/19/2007

I sold a still under warranty HD-A2 to someone thru ebay. He says the disc freezes and he can't power it down. He has to unplug it. I never stated I'd take it back in the listing. I tried posting on AVS so maybe someone who's had this problem who can help me help the guy and all they tell me is...

I come home just last Monday evening about 6:30 with my wife and son holding a pizza box when this man and woman approach me wearing these red verizon shirts and he wants to talk to me about FIOS. I said it costs too much but can he come back in the next day or so. He says it'll only take a few...

Visited 2 Targets today. One had an end cap. TV was off and there was a sticker on the player that said "Non working display". The other store had same endcap, but the TV was on and player was running a demo. Nobody was paying ANY attention to it. Nice job guys :)

I went to 2 Best Buys today trying to see if I could get them to match the Circuit City Buy2 Get1 Free. Even though both stores had equal shelf space, the BD disc were far more plentiful and many more titles on display. My question to you all are all the stores in your area the same. I mean I...

Ever since the early DST change, my wife's machine has had the following problems. 1 - Timers that were previously set up started an hour earlier 2 - Audio that has that sort of talkng underwater effect 3 - Erasing prerecorded shows, even if they are protected an email to...

Just got the HD disc today. It is simply stunning. And the sound....the part where he returns to earth. The sub woofer shook the whole damn room. Good thing the wife wasn't home....

I have a very general question regarding the HD pricing on Dish. I presently have AT60 for $29.95 month and NYC locals for $8.99 month. Reading their pricing structure to get the SAME level of programming plus my locals will cost $55.00 per month or an increase of about 16.00 per month. So my...
