    722 - lost everything

    I've had a 722 for quite awhile now, 2 in fact. One of them has had issues lately like it wont stop fast forwarding and even locked up over the weekend. I woke up today, it's completely empty. I lost everything, settings, recordings, schedule, it's all gone. I put some back in, recorded a...

    Odd 722 Internet Issue

    Had a weird thing happen last night on my home network... Every device on my LAN lost internet connection and LAN connection for that matter. Couldn't even ping the gateway router across the LAN. After many hours and testing and swapping cables and equipment, I determined that if my 722 is...

    622 Ota

    On my current 921 I can get OTA for both analog and digital signals. I'm told the 622 only supports digital signal and if something is OTA using analog the screen will just be black when I try to watch it. Is this true, and how can I tell what my 921 is currently picking up via OTA?

    Current Upgrade Path

    Now that the 622 has been out for some time, is there a final upgrade path for all us long lost customers? I currently have a 921 which I own, 2 811's which I lease, and one standard def receiver I never even use, which I also lease. I also have an OTA on the roof, so I get my locals in HD...

    OTA - FOX Wash DC

    Has anyone else seen 005-1 go down in signal strength lately? I've been at 120-125 strength for months, and now, its always around 91-95. Every other channel is still at 120-125.

    The Upgrade Path

    I stole this from the good folks at dbstalk.com, but it's incredibly handy if you just want a straight answer on what your options are: For customers with an 811 • Lease next generation High Definition Receiver (ViP 211 or similar)* • Leased Upgrade Fee: FREE • Professional Installation...

    Local HD - DC Area

    So, just for kicks I was checking out the new HD packages on Dish's HD webapge that came back up today. http://www.dishtv.com/hd/programming/pricingandpackages/platinum/index.shtml I clicked on "Get your locals" or whatever it's called and it takes you to page to put in your address to see...

    921 stuck format

    This has probably been posted before, but my 921 wont let me change the format size of the picture quite often. A hard reboot generally fixes it, but damn, it's annoying.... almost as annoying as it losing all it's guide data at least once a week. Is there a concrete fix for this? Or at least...

    Don't like Dish's Answers to Locals in HD - Here's an answer

    OTA..... I waited over a year for Dish to give me my locals in HD. I didnt want to have to use an OTA antenna, but I'm not getting all new receivers and a new dish, and who knows what else, so I finally called a place to put an antenna on the roof. All I can say is WOW! It's free, it looks...

    921 DVR question

    Is it possible to search via name, and record things by name rather than time and date? I have information both ways, but I have never been able to do this. I would like to simulate a Tivo "Season Pass", rather than manually recording by time and hoping the show I want to see actually comes on...

    921 and OTA

    OK, so I caved. I'm putting an OTA on my roof. Here's my question. I am going to have the feed going into my 921. Will I still be able to use the DVR functions on the channels I receive through the OTA? Also, and quick how-to's on scanning and adding the OTA channels via the 921? TIA!

    Please!! Some straight answers on the new information.

    I live in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Based on the information released today.... 1. When can I get my local channels in HD? I want a date, no "Well maybe" or "I guess around..." It doesnt even need to be a correct date, but I want a date (from Dish) of when I will receive my local...

    So today is the big day, right?

    Isn't today the day when Dish officially releases their big plans for this year? When they say HD locals aren't coming to DC anytime soon, I'll be switching to Directv or cable where I can get them today. But I thought I would at least give them a chance...

    Clueless

    I've had Dish for about 9 months now... Among other things, I have a 921 DVR attached to my HDTV. I want as much HD as I can get and subscribe to the basic HD package. I want Voom, but dont want another dish on my roof. There is a lot of posting on Voom, the general idea, they are...
