Several times I have found that when I tried to play a recording from a remote hopper on a local hopper, I get video and no audio. I have to play around with changing channels, choosing different recordings and then coming back to my desired recording. Sometimes that fixes it right away and...

My hopper/Joey setup is fairly new so I'm still getting to know it. Twice in the last three days my Joey has unlinked itself from one hopper and linked itself to my other hopper. I searched the forum but didnt see a reference to this issue. Is there something I can do to prevent this from...

Just switched from DirecTV and their whole home DVR solution to a Dish setup with the equipment in my signature. Overall I like the hopper setup better. However, the one thing that irritates me is that there is no unified DVR list which shows all recordings on all hoppers in a single list. It...

I just had 2 hoppers and a joey installed today. I know how to block/hide the channels from the guide. How do I prevent adult titles from appearing in the on-demand list? Right now, I don't even want the kids opening the list of on-demand movies because of some of the items in there. Thanks.

I find it a little odd that DirecTV's flagship HD DVR doesn't feature HD graphics and menus. Anyone know if DTV is working on changing this?

If I go to More>Manual Recording and then set a new start time, when I look at the Manual Record screen, the start time is exactly 2 hours ahead of the time I entered. What am I doing wrong? I have the time zone specifically set to Central (which is correct as I'm in Texas). Can't figure out...

I just switched from Dish to DirecTV yesterday. With Dish, I was able to view my DVR recording list online (via web and iPhone app) and delete them and make changes to my scheduled recordings. Is there a way to do this with DirecTV? So far, I've only seen the ability to schedule new recordings...

I just got DTV installed today and I'm trying to replicate all my old Dish recordings. Right now I'm setting up a series for Glenn Beck (please hold the commentary). I've got it set up to record "First Run" but it looks like it's going to record the version overnight as well as the 4pm one. Is...

Hi all. The DirecTV installer is here right now and he brought 2 HR24's and an H23. I was hoping for an H24, but whatever. Anyway, can someone provide an opinion on the H23? Is it super sluggish or is it pretty usable? I understand it won't be as snappy as the H24 would be but trying to...

I am a new customer and am having DirecTV install a whole home DVR system in our house. The wiring, while sloppy, should already largely be in place (I've had Dish for years with RG-6 going to the various TV locations). However, they are supposed to install the Internet connection kit. None...

I have been with Dish for almost 14 years. I currently have a Dish 622 DVR which I've been very pleased with. I've been engaged with Dish for so long that I don't have a lot of knowledge about DTV outside of what I've searched/read over the last couple of days. So I have some questions I need...

I've looked through some of the existing HD Free threads but wasn't able to confirm. I was apparently grandfathered into to the Free HD thing without getting a new commitment or paying the $99. I currently have HD250 and HD Platinum. If I cancel the HD Platinum, will I lose my HD Free? Thanks.

Here's an interesting problem I just resolved. I have 2 dishes - a Dish500 at 110/119 and another Dish500 at 129. Last Sunday (2/14), I noticed that the 129 channels were coming in and out and by the end of the day they were all out. Last summer, I replaced the LNB on the 110/119 dish...

Are any of you with Slingboxes having problems? For some reason when I enter my slingbox info associated with my 622 receiver at dish.sling.com, it's fine for that session. But if I log out and back in, my slingbox settings are gone and I have to enter them again. What this means is that every...

Having a weird problem for the last 3-4 weeks. For some reason, many of my channels drop out at night - I get the message that the satellite signal has been lost. It seems to be on all 3 sats (110/119/129). I've got a Dish500 pointed at 110/119 and another pointed at 129. The next morning...

For about 2 years now, I haven't been getting charged a DVR fee for my 622. I still see the $7 lease fee on my bill but no DVR fee. I don't have and have never had the AEP so that isn't it. I'm not complaining of course - just curious. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I've...

I turned on the TV this morning and noticed the TCM (channel 132) is available. No, it's not an HD version. My wife is glad but it seems odd to me. I looked around and it doesn't look like they are running a free-weekend. Plus, if that was the case, it would be in a different channel number...

In the last week or so the audio for the NBC affiliate in Dallas has been muffled. Sometimes it's only on commercials but sometimes it's on actual programming. For example, right now the audio on Jay Leno is muffled (sounds like someone's talking into a pillow). I noticed tonight that I'm...

I finally hooked my 622 up to my network last night and I'm curious to find out if there's any new information on when this feature will be available. Thanks.

I've been seeing this for about 4 weeks now and it doesn't seem to matter whether it's live or recorded, HD or SD. It usually only lasts for 10 seconds or so and it seems to come and go. Skipping back/forward sometimes clears it up but not always.

OK, I had a Dish 300 aimed at 61.5 which was fine but, starting today, I need to point at 129 so I can get FSNSW-HD. I bought a Dish 500 with an I-Adapter for use with the DP Dual. I can't seem to find the satellite. Here's what I have. Location: Allen, TX (33.09, -96.63) Elevation: 38.2...

If I buy just a Dish500 reflector (no mounting brackets, mast, bolts, LNB arm, etc), will I be able to use the LNB arm, bolts and mast from my Dish300 and just swap out the reflector? Or will I need some other stuff. I understand I'll need an I-bracket to mount the DP single LNB. Any other tips...

When 408/409 came out, there was some discussion about improved picture quality. I never received either update so I couldn't comment. Can anyone tell if L441 features the improved picture quality that supposedly was in the earlier (revoked) updates? I tried to find this info in existing threads...

What kind of reception could I expect from 129 with a Dish300? I currently have a Dish300 pointed at 61.5 but want to move it to 129 to pick up FSN-SW (HD). I don't want to get a significantly poorer signal on all other HD channels just to get FSN.
