    Sign up frustrations

    So I tried signing my parents up for Dish tonight via the website and it comes back that they have an account and it asks for me to call in. Now my parents did have Dish but they canceled the service back in October of 2017 when they sold their home and moved. So it’s been 8 months now and I’m...

    Guide Info Stinks!

    The new programming info in the guide is horrible. From the choice in images to the content, its no improvement. Regarding program info, what should be a simple synopsis often gives away too much and some of the cast information is lacking. Case in point, they somehow managed to omit Mr. T as a...

    Question on connecting Klipsch Quintet speakers

    I just got a set of Klipsch Quintet speakers & I can't tell if my existing banana clips will work with them. They have spring mounts & I don't know if they have removable caps to accommodate the clips. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Missing 1/17 Primetime Anytime Recordings

    So apprently my Hopper failed to record any programs via Primetime Anytime on 1/17. I have recordings from 1/16 and 1/18 on but nothing for 1/17. I swear I saw the "red recording" light that night but I've got nothing. I did watch tv via that Hopper that night. Anyone else encounter this or...

    DISH App Issues

    I tried setting some timers via the DISH App today and it doesn't appear to be recording anything. Both my boxes are connected to the internet. When setting a recording it just started listing a different channel then I selected. Its choosing to record not channel 139 as I requested but the...

    Direct Newbie DVR Question

    Just had my Direct install. So far so good. I went with the whole-home dvr option in which they gave me a HR24. I seem to be able to only record two channels at a time and I'm wondering if this is correct. I though from reading on various comparison posts between the Direct whole-home and the...

    Sling Adapter Issues

    The sling adapter I purchased back in January doesn't seem to want to power up. I see they have a 1 year warranty and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience getting this replaced or repaired via the warranty. Thanks in advance for your feeback.

    Switching to Direct, discount question

    I'm about to switch from Dish to Direct at my parent's home. The lack of RSN's in NY is the driving force. I've priced it out online via Direct's website and I'm pretty impressed at the discounts and options for new customers. I've read about an additional $10 off for 20 months for being a AAA...

    Canceling Dish, any advice?

    After nearly 13 years Dish & I are parting ways at my parents home in early June. I'm making the switch to Direct due to Dish's lack of any RSN's in the New York area. Its a change I've been very reluctant to make but all good things must come to an end. I'll still have Dish at my home and I...

    EHD Woes

    I just upgraded to a 2 Hopper & 2 Joey configuration. I backed up a bunch of recordings off my 722 & 922 prior to the switch on 2 separate EHDs. Now I have been able to access the recordings on one but not on the other. Anyone know why? When I connect the second I'm asked to format the drive...

    Had my install...

    Had my 2 Hopper & 2 Joey install yesterday and I can't be happier. The installer was great and the equipment is unbelievable. While it has yet to do anything stupid, everything from the new look guide (even better then the 922), the better pq then my old 722, the small footprint of each device...

    922 HD 216% to Full

    Got my replacement 922 and after recording about 5 one to two hour programs, my screen tells me that my hard drive is 216% full. I don't know but something about that doesn't sound right. It already missed one timer so I guess I'm in for a whole host of new quirks. I'm thinking Hopper/Joey...

    Why not to accept a Dish credit offer

    So about a year ago Dish screwed up and as a result I was given $10 a month off my bill for 12 months. Honestly I was pretty happy with this. What I was unaware of and never told was that in my accepting that offer, I would be in eligible for all programming promos offered. After finding out...

    I'm not eligible but no one knows why :(

    I've been trying to take advantage of the some of the 1/2 price premium movie channel promotions I've read about online. I've chatted with two different CSRs (one last month and one this month) regarding the issue and I've been told that my account is not eligible. I ask them why and they have...

    Question on Programming Guide Length

    I have a 211 reciever and the guide only goes out 3 days. The reciever is not connected via a phone line. I thought the guide was supposed to go out to 9 days. Their is no EHD connected to the unit if that matters. Is the 3 day guide correct? I tried looking for an setting or option but I've...

    NY's My 9 Finally in HD

    Not sure when it happened but NY's My 9 is finally in HD. Thats the last NY local to finally be available in HD. While the programming leaves a whole lot to ask for, they do offer about 20 Yankee games a year and to be able to watch them in HD instead of the world's crappiest SD signal, is a...

    Receiver Upgrade

    So I'm coming up on my 1 year with Dish & I've been thinking about switching from the VIP 722 to the VIP 612. I initially had a 612 but swapped it within the first week cause of the delay I had when switching channels and doing some research online. The 722 I got was a refurb and I'm on my...

    Dish & NY Sports

    I recently downgraded my package from AT120+ to AT120. One channel I lost in the process is SNY, home of the NY Mets. Not a real big deal as far as I'm concerned cause I'm not a Mets fan but according to Dish's website the reason to spend the extra $5 per month is for regional sports. Dish used...

    211 Sound Issues

    I'm currently on my second 211 reciever that has some serious sounds issues. Both units were refurbs. All of a sudden out of left field I get this weird echo effect. All audio sounds possessed or something. When I reset the receiver, it goes away until it decides to come back. I've swapped...

    Movie Channel Packages

    Has Playboy been removed from the list of movie packs that can be combined for a discount? Thanks in advance.

    Thank you Dish!

    While I seldom say it, I'd just like to thank Dish. This morning I woke up to a free year of Starz, the FX channel being in the Top 120 package, and the external hard drive feature enabled for free. All of this without a single phone call. I know my bill went up and I'm not surprised but I...

    External Hard Drive Question

    So I had Dish with the External Hard Drive feature enabled on my old account. I had to close that account and open a new one along with gettting new equipment a few months back. Now that external hard drive option is free I decided to connect the two old external hard drives to see if I could...

    922 in Limbo Again

    Ever since the update my 922 is now in limbo after a prolonged period of no use. If I don't use the unit I come to find it with all the panel lights lite up and no picture on screen. The unit is unresponsive and pushing buttons on the remote yields nothing. All I find is a blank screen. I then...

    211 Audio Issue

    I'm on my second refurbished 211 and I have an audio issue where the audio develops an echo effect and it sounds as though every one is possessed. Its kind of freaky. The picture remains uneffected. Changing channels doesn't help, nor does powering off the receiver. What does work is rebooting...

    922 in limbo every morning

    So I've come to find my 922 in a state of limbo every morning around the same time. I turn the tv on to find the little green arrow somewhere on a blank screen. I push butttons on the remote and nothing happens. In a short while the "start up" screen comes up and then I'm good to go. Any ideas...
