    Two homes with leased and owned receivers

    Yes it was the wait to even get someone on the line. There will always be some event going on, always excuses. There has to be an expedited method for this....? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Two homes with leased and owned receivers

    I finally have the snowbird account activated and working. Now my question is ....is there a phone number that I can use to get connected with someone very quickly? It took me like 25 minutes to call in and have the locals switched, and I don't want to wait that long every time... Sent from...

    Signal Loss because too many connections question

    I'm pretty sure all my connectors are fine. I visually inspected them, and they are all tight and seem ok. I have no reason to think they r the problem. I wonder if I post some signal strengths and whatnot if someone can tell me by that alone? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Laggy receiver

    I had dish swap out my vip222 because I was constantly having to reset it, and the new one showed up, and I have the same problem. But now I have a receiver that is also very leggy, meaning I press a button and it takes a few seconds for the receiver to respond. It's driving me nuts. It's like...

    Signal Loss because too many connections question

    Ok so I switched all the connectors to the blue 3ghz ones, and looked at signal strength before and after, and I have literally no difference. So now what should I do? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Chicago spot beam

    If my main home is in chicago, and I have a vacation home in Rockford and a snowbird account, when I call to change service address to Rockford will I get chicago local channels or Rockford local channels? It looks like spot beam 8 and 22 serve Rockford and Madison? Sent from my iPad using...

    Signal Loss because too many connections question

    well i am 100% sure my cabling is OK, its the connection points that i am concerned about. take a look at this photo, its supposedly a 3GHz connector plate for my wall jack from leviton. according to the leviton website datasheet, it says 3GHz, and it looks blue and white. However this part...

    Signal Loss because too many connections question

    replacing any cable is the absolute last resort as far as im concerned. its buried within the house and i dont want to run any exterior cable and drill through house....so that being said, would any kind of amplifier help my situation? if so what kind and where would i insert it?

    Signal Loss because too many connections question

    OK so if I go replace, some I see at home depot are 2.4Ghz, some are 3GHz. does it matter which ones? Both have the blue insides.

    Signal Loss because too many connections question

    So I have been experiencing intermittent signal loss and I am wondering if I need an amp somewhere to help boost the signal because I have so many connections in the mix. here is how I have my setup: dish on roof, 10' coax, barrel connector, 100' coax, barrel connector, 75' coax to back of...

    Ran out of money, can not afford DISH. Best options here?

    I disagree, I think it's much much more than 60 days. I had not been a customer in 2 years 5 months, and when I moved, wanted to start service again. They claimed I was an existing customer and would not give me the new customer deals. I called back and talked to 2-3 CSR's, each with the same...

    Two homes with leased and owned receivers

    simply unpluggin the phone line or broadband connection is another option to leave power to the device but not have it call home to report where it is.....now i know they used to charge $5 for an unconnected device, not sure if thats still true.

    Two homes with leased and owned receivers

    it seems like the big hurdle is that since I have other vip receivers besides a 211...they might not allow that on a hopper account...??? anyone know otherwise?

    Two homes with leased and owned receivers

    Scherrman....you're assumption of me "not wanting equipment active at 2 locations" is interesting...why would you assume that? The goal would be for me to do nothing but turn the tv on and voila! I dont want to hassle with any moving of receivers, or calling in to dish everytime....blah blah...

    Two homes with leased and owned receivers

    is this possible without being accused of account stacking? The scenario would be I have a hopper and 2 joeys at my primary residence, and I have my owned VIP equipment receivers at my 2nd location. This way I dont have to hassle with unplugging everything each time I go on vacation.... Does...

    Dish 222 swap

    Dish tech support wants to swap out my suspect 7 years old 222 with a new one(might be causing my issues). Will I be getting another silver 222, or the 222k? Didn't they stop making the 222?
