I am looking to streamline by Dish package a bit. On MyDish I was able to get rid of the Dish Movie Pack and save $10 a month (my wife and I barely watch it). I was also going to drop Multi-Sport, or at least try to drop it and see if I am offered a deal to keep it. However since this weekend...

Hi, first post in quite a while. I have two remotes for a 211Z and a 211K that have become troublesome. The first remote stopped functioning altoghether, even with a fresh set of batteries. None of the lit buttons would work, and of course it would not control the receiver. I actually threw this...

So my 211 with an EHD was starting to act up today - wouldn't record correctly, random channel changes, claimed it was recording but nothing was added to the DVR list of recordings. After a bunch of troubleshooting (at first thinking the external hard drive was dying) I figured out the issue...

Wondering if any of the above "extra" ESPN3 channels are going to find a spot on Dish tonight? Spidercam and Sounds of the Game might be fun just so you don't have to listen to the ESPN commentary. :)

This morning I see that my 211s are showing the time one hour off (too early), as though we rolled back from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time this morning (Thursday October 31). Right now the clock on the 211 shows 6:40am when I know its 7:40. The clocks were not supposed to fall back...

I noticed that I was getting signal loss on AMC HD tonight ... checked my signal strength on two different receivers (722 and 211) and both are showing low signals for the EA 72 transponders (high teens to mid 20s). In comparison, both 61.5 and 77 signals are rock solid (50+). Edit - check...

First, check you email - Amazon is apparently sending out 10% off coupons to random customers. The code could be for 10% off up to a set amount, or 10% over a certain amount. AFAIK these xpire on December 16. One of these might make your next home theater purchase (or any purchase) a bit more...

I currently have a 722 in the family room and a 211 w/ EHD upstairs. I plan on adding two more TVs upstairs and would like to keep open the possibility of a TV in the basement someday. After a bit of reading it seems like my options are: 1. Get a Hopper for the family room and two Joeys for...

Now that the trial sub. to Sirius expired on my Ford F-150, I'd really like to get a Lifetime sub with internet access thrown in. The strange part is (1) the offers I've received via email only mention the $77 deal for a year, and (2) on the SiriusXM website you cannot find any information on a...

I finally got the DISH VOD hooked up last week, and watched a few movies on it. The problem is that browsing to see what movies are available is a monumental PITA. There are over 5000 movies listed, and the search and filtering features leave a lot to be desired (hard to search if you don't...

Logged onto Dish today to check my account, I was a bit surprised to find that there was no "Recent Activity" tab to see payments made / additional charges / etc. Is this really gone or did Dish just hide somewhere I haven't looked yet?

It seems like I run into this same issue every few years - but I any event I am trying to figure out a "Primary Receiver" charge on my January 2011 bill. Up through December 2010 I saw these line items on my bill:Monthly Charges Dec 23 - Jan 22 HD Solo Receiver 7.00 Primary Receiver 9.00...

I'm considering subscribing to HBO to catch the remaining episodes of Boardwalk Empire and to see some other movies / specials / etc. The problem is that none of the HD HBO feeds are showing up in my 722 guide. No HBO-E HD, no HBO-2E HD, no HBO Signature HD, no HBO Zone HD, and so on. Check...

Every year or so I get the itch to see if there is any reason to switch away from Dish to DirecTV or Comcast. Usually the Comcast comparison ends when I find that a comparable package costs $20 or $30 more than Dish. Funny thing is, this time when comparing a large HD package (no premiums) and...

I was just on the Dish website and noticed that a Franklin County, PA ZIP (ex. 17201) shows only Harrisburg locals. Franklin County used to be unusual as it qualified for Harrisburg and Washington DC locals. Has Dish actually changed this county to only get one set of locals? If so, did any...

After living with a 508 in the upstairs bedroom for many trouble-free years, I'm now considering switching to an HD DVR receiver. I would have sprung for a 722 until Dish decided to charge $17 a month for these. Now I am looking at the 612 or the 211 with an external hard drive. (2nd TV...

I hadn't heard about this before ... from bizoffootball.com: I'm just trying to figure out why DirecTV would eat $1B in 2011 if the NFL owners decide to lock out the players. This almost encourages the owners to kill the whole season, since they'll get their money but not pay any player...

Apparently there is now legislation in Congress that will nail OTA radio stations with a "performace tax" that is similar to the fees that Internet radio and Sirius/XM have had to pay for a while now ... the locals stations in my area have been running countless ads opposing this, and there is a...

I recently began to have timer issues with my 508 DVR receiver. My wife uses this to record a few daytime shows (Regis & Kelly, Oprah, etc.) for later viewing. The issue is that the name-based DVR timers set up to record these shows are not seeing the majority of the future shows in the...

With my current address in Newtown CT (ZIP 06470), I was able to see multiple Red Sox ST games and Bruins games on NESN over the past month. But I was very surprised to see the NESN HD feed of the Sox - Mets game blacked out tonight (SD feed was in the clear), and even more surprised to see the...

So, any rumblings that Dish and the YES Network brass are even talking about a contract? I know that there is almost no chance that YES will be carried by Dish this or any other year, but you would think that they would at least give the illusion of trying to work out a deal. :what Edit -...

More Stupid CSR Tricks ... not as entertaining as the tricks on Letterman, but certainly just as stupid. My most recent issues are: 1. ESPN FullCourt (which I ordered in November 2008 for $99) has not been working for a few weeks on my receivers - it seems to have gone away when I upgraded...

Since Dish does not have MLB EI anymore I am considering purchasing MLB.TV for 2009. Unfortunately the last time I tried MLB.TV in 2007 it was a terrible experience - video quality on the Premium product was OK but there were so many drops / locks-ups I had to drop the package and get a refund...

With my new HD setup (Sony 52" W-series LCD, Yamaha RX-V463 receiver, 5.1 setup) I have looked into the current crop of BD players and come out disappointed. What I have noted is: 1. High prices, both for decent players and BD titles. 2. Incompatibility, too many examples of certain BD movies...

I'm looking for a suggestion on an indoor FM antenna to go with my new Yamaha HTIB setup. Up to now I have just used the old FM dipole, with fair results. I have looked at the following alternatives: 1. Anything outside - avoiding if at all possible. 2. Anything from Terk - no. 3. Good...
