    501 questions

    My parents have an ancient 501 DVR. The remote is called a "Platinum" and it is starting to have issues. I've never used the remote that came with my 722 (possibly a 5.0 but I've never looked at it, I use a Harmony). Is there a way to get my remote working on their system? I assume it is not as...

    Happy with Dish

    Just thought I'd post this as I seem to see lots of negative stuff here but little positive. Note that this only pertains to my particular experience; I can't speak for anyone else. I have been a customer for about 3 years now. Using a 625. I have been wanting to upgrade to HD service since I...

    Real world HD recording time on 722 (and 622)

    I know what Dish says (25 HD hours for 622, 55 for 722) but I hear vastly different reports. Please post your real results about how much HD content you have fit before your drive was nearly full. Thanks!

    Which locals will I get in HD?

    Help a moron out.... I live in Santa Rosa, CA 95403. Which locals will I get in HD? So far according to the websites I've checked, it is limited to Fox, NBC, and CBS. I can't add an OTA antenna on my house.

    622 and 722 pricing

    Quick question: how much are people paying to upgrade from their old SD units to a new 622 or 722? I currently have a 625, and am hoping to get a 722 for cheap (or free would be ideal). I'd settle for a 622 if the price difference was large enough. I plan on getting the new $29.99 all HD...

    seeking good Dish deals

    I may have asked this here already, if so I apologize. I'm looking to switch from cable to Dish, and I see lots of places offer cash back, free DVD players, etc, for signing up. Now I know I could just go sign up thru Dish directly and call it a day. But I also know that sometimes it is...

    New to Dish... questions

    I'm switching to Dish from crappy comcast cable. I have a few questions, this seems like a great forum so I thought I'd ask here. 1) Will I end up with 1 or 2 "dishes" on my roof? I just plan on getting the top60, plus locals. 2) Where is the best place to buy? I notice some places online...
