    I had a lazy installer a couple of years ago. He didn't properly point my dish. I'm going to hop up there and re-point. I have all of my pointing info, except.. What transponders on which satellites are best for my peaking?

    Sling Adapter not working with Windows? Anyone else?

    I'm able to watch my dvr from my phone, tablet, and by using the Chrome browser. This morning when I went to log in on windows (99% of the time, this is what I use), it makes me go to a page to install a new plug in. I can't get the plug in to install. Anyone else having this issue?

    Dish 1000.4 without using a switch?

    I know how to install a 1000.4 to a DPP44 switch for multiple receivers. But today I am installing a 1000.4 to only one receiver in my summer house. Am I correct in thinking that I do not need any switch. Do I run only one wire from the LNB directly to the splitter on my 722? If so, which...

    All Recordings Are Gone!!! 510

    This morning I had about 80 hours of programing on my 510. Just turned it on this afternoon, and everything is gone. All recordings are gone, and all timers are gone. Most of the recordings were protected. Everything on my 508 and 622 is fine. Any ideas as to what happened here?

    My 622 can record 3 shows at once...

    I don't know whether this has been discussed before or not. Last night my 622 recorded 3 shows at once: Brothers & Sisters on WMAR-2 (OTA) 9:58pm - 11:05pm Brotherhood on SHOHD-9460 9:58pm - 11:05pm Amazing Race on KCBS-8001 10:58pm - 12:05am I thought it was odd, that I would let my...

    The 2 recievers (508/510) that I never have problems with, are having issues tonight. Tried to tune to the weather channel (214). Banner on the screen says it's aquiring signal, for transponder 6. Tried a couple other channels on 119, and they say aquiring signal also. When I go to check...

    I "MOVED"... How do I get my 622?

    About 5 years ago, I "moved". I have a billing address and a service address. I don't care about the $200 rebate. I own my 921. I'm keeping it. Has anyone else in this situation tried to order a 622? Will they ship it to my billing address? I'm hoping to get the receiver shipped to the...

    I'm sorry if this has been covered before. I have a Dish 500 with a DishPro twin (119/110), and a Dish 300 with a DishPro dual (61.5), and a DP34 switch. My question is, can I switch out the DP34 switch, with a DPP44, and still use the same LNBFs? (I know i will need the special LNBF...

    Does anyone have any idea what Dish is going to do with the customers with MPEG 2 recievers? I assume that when these new VOOM channels come out this week, I won't be able to recieve them. I love my 921. Sure you have to reboot it a couple of times a week, but I'm still happy with it...

    Does anyone still use a 7100 or 7200 Dishplayer?

    I was just wondering if there are still many of these out there. If so are you paying a fee for VOD? Do they have just as many problems as they used to? I was able to unload mine a couple of years ago, when they added the Philly must carrys to the 129 spot. They gave me a 508 for free...
