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?

Can a 211k that I own outright have an external HDD added to it so it becomes a DVR? is it a one time $40? any downsides to this?

So I have an older VIP211 and it has the seperator used for both SAT inputs on the back. My setup has recently changed and I no longer need the SD feed back upstream for other TV's in the house....so my question is do I really need to keep the seperator in the loop to feed both SAT inputs on the...

I have a VIP222 that has been experiencing loss of signal lately....just by chance I replaced the seperator with a new one....and the signal seems to be more stable. is this just co-incidence, or are these things known to go bad after a while? It's like 7 years old....do they have small...

So my issue is that I am currently on the western arc at my home in illinois and have my 2nd receiver in my home in Wisconsin that dish doesn't know about. The home in Wisconsin had some trees grow over the past few years and now I get spotty signal and can't trim the trees. I have a great open...

I have a dual tuner and single tuner receiver and only want to run a single cable into my house from the dish for installation. Is this possible and if so do i need to use a multiswitch, which one, how could i hook this up? Its a Vip222 and a 211k.

If I use an inline F-Connector to connect 2 coax cables together will this connector itself reduce the quality of the signal or have any signal attenuation? If so by how much and should I be worried about it for a long cable run (200 feet)?

Does anyone know if the cinemax for 1 penny deal will still work with the new turbohd only packages?

Its great and all that Dish added 22 or so HD channels, but after going through all of the new ones at various times today, it seems that most of them do not even have any HD content to offer! whats the point?! The only ones really offering HD content are ESPNEWSHD, SmithsonianHD, CNBCHD...

Last year when i signed up with Dish, i was able to pay $50 to opt out of signing or committing to a 12 month or 24 month contract. If you signed up, they would waive the $50 fee. Do they still offer this? I am just looking for a way to remain contract free. Currently i am not under contract...

Does anyone know if Dish will ship me a 612 receiver instead of having it installed? i already have the setup, so i would just need a seperator and the receiver, but on my account page it does not list an option for shipping a 612.
