    New Hopper 3 not saving favorites list names- known bug?

    I had a Hopper 3 and two Joey 2's installed on Friday. I've created 3 favorites lists on the Hopper 3 and on one of the Joeys- the channels save, but I cannot get the list names I created to save in both the Hopper and the Joey. Tried a number of times- and they remain labeled List 1, List 2...

    Sling Adapter and OTA channels?

    Evidently OTA channels don't work through Sling Adapter although they all show remotely on my guide? Just hooked the Sling Adapter up last night- cool technology- so far so good- other than some remote bandwidth issues which aren't the fault of Sling.

    Prices up, no new HD (yet)

    Prices up at Dishnetwork.com with some 6 mo teaser rates for new subs. No new HD to substantiate the increase (yet.) :down We'll have to wait and see what happens today and tomorrow. I was going to switch from DVR advantage (top 200) with the $10.00 HD add on to the HD only Turbo Gold...

    Cost to switch to D* (not cheap)

    I went to D* website to see what it would cost to switch from E*. Since I would be replacing two 622's, the upfront cost would be $498.00 for two HD DVR's, as it looks like D* only offers a $100.00 rebate for one HD DVR receiver. To get all the new HD national channels D* is offering (no...

    Broadband "Phone Home" - Dish says no problems (???)

    I'm still being charged an access fee for both my 622's since I have no land line phone, hence a call to Dish. Had a Dish tech repeatedly tell me that the broadband dial-up "phone home" is working fine- no issues. I told him the diagnostic tests show good broadband connection on both my...

    BD player hook-up question

    I presently have my Samsung BD-P1200 hooked up with component video to my Denon AV receiver, and the receiver hooked up with component video to my T.V. Would it be better to go directly from the BD player to the T.V.? Less cables, connections, etc. = cleaner picture? Unfortunately I don't...

    Anyone own a Samsung BD-P1200?

    Wondering if anyone has any comments or reviews on the Samsung BD-P1200? Prices are getting more and more attractive. I've found them as low as $450.00 delivered. CNET's review gives their nod to the Samsung BD-P1200 and the Panasonic DMP-BD10A over the new Sony BDP-S300. Wife keeps...

    How to get 622 TV1 to accept UHF remote?

    Purchased a 6.2 remote which included 8 different keys to make it compatible with most UHF equipped receivers. Instructions included with the remote don't address the 622 specifically, but it does say I need to change "TV1 remote" from IR to IR/UHF showing on the system information screen...

    Considering running the modulated signal from a 622 into my house's antenna coax system which is run throughout the house. I have a combination adjustable amp/ splitter which takes the antenna feed amplifies it, and distributes it to up to four outputs. Should I install a combiner (reverse...

    Return leased 211?

    I currently have two leased 211's. I have just purchased a 622 which will replace one of the 211's. I really will have no use for the additional 211 since I'm running 2 HD TV's, and one SD TV which has its own 522 receiver, (and the 622 could effectively replace the 522 as well.) Will Dish...

    Pbs Hd?

    At times some very good HD programming on PBS. Currently I'm viewing it locally OTA - weak signal with occasional pixelation issues. Is PBS HD offered anywhere by E*? I'd even be willing to "move" instead of investing more in antennas and signal amplifiers...
