    Joey 4K not compatible with 4KTV

    In February, I was one of the first few to get the Dish Hopper 3 upgrade. I installed the Hopper 3 onto my 1080p plasma, but I also upgraded to a Joey 4K for my Panasonic TC-L65WT600 4KTV. The only 4K that is available on the Joey 4K is through Dish OnDemand. I was able to watch some free TV...

    DISH’s Hopper 3 DVR Now Supports Netflix in Ultra HD 4K

    But what about the Joey 4K? We don't even have Netflix on the Joey 4K yet. :(

    I just want to add a Joey!

    Currently, we have one Hopper w/Sling, and two Joeys. I would like to add a third Joey. What are my options? Do I really have to get a technician out to my house for $95? All of the coax in my home arrives in one OnQ system in my closet. So, I have access to route Dish to any room that I want...

    Joeys going to black for a few seconds

    Has their been a new Hopper or Joey firmware update recently? When watching recorded programming from either Joey in the house, the entire screen will go black and lose audio for about 5 to 10 seconds. Feels like it might be an HDMI issue, but I've had this same setup since the Hopper came out...

    PPV & VOD Confusion

    I am having some issues with PPV & VOD using the Hopper. First, let me preface this by saying that I have a PPV Certificate that I would like to use for this purchase. I also would like to point out that I am attempting to test a 3D movie from the Hopper onto my 3DTV. Since there isn't a...

    Dish: The "90%" company - Who cares if the other 10% is the most important?

    So, after being a Dish subscriber for the past 9 years, I've come to the conclusion that Dish prides themselves on being 90% good. The only problem is that the last 10% is the most important part. Why? Here are my reasons: Programming: For the most part, Dish Network has great...

    Any way to get around the $100 "upgrade" fee?

    I already have the Dish Hopper system, but I'd like to get my Dad into it. He currently has a 722K and his contract has just recently expired. Any chance he could get into the Hopper without the $100 fee?

    Abundance of Advertising here

    I know this site is provided free of charge to its members, but there is a very large abundance of ads here. I am on a LOT of forums and I know that's how you guys get paid, but having ads in line with posts, the top third of the page is nothing but ads, there are even ads with audio in them...

    Recordings Show Up, but nothing will play!

    I have had a LOT of recordings show up in the DVR menu (in PTAT recordings, in My Folder or in a custom folder) and they show 0% viewed. When I go to play them, the timeline indicator shows that I have reached the end of the show and will not play anything. I get a message that states I need...

    HD PPV + DVR???

    I have some free coupons for Pay Per View movies, so I was wondering if it's possible to set up an HD PPV movie before it airs, to record it. Then, can I keep it forever? I know I did this YEARS ago (and I still have the movie on my External Hard Drive), but have they changed the rules since...

    Don't use DishStore.net

    I know they are a paying advertiser around here, but their "Deal" is hardly a deal. They promise a $75 mail in rebate, but do everything they can to only send you $25. My dad just signed up for Dish Network through them and the sales person said he qualified for a $75 rebate, but when the...

    Part Number for vip722K OTA Tuner?

    I have had Dish for about 7 years. Started with the 6000U receiver. Switched to Voom. Went back to Dish before Voom went under. Moved to the vip622 (which I still have) and have added a vip722. My dad just got Dish Network installed and they brought out a vip722K. Of course, there's no...

    DishOnline.com?

    I was on the beta team for controlling the ViP DVRs via dishonline.com. It worked great. But, they disbanded the beta team and now the feature is gone. :( But if you go to the site and log in, all of the tabs are there, but none of them work. The site says... None of those directions...

    HDMI Issues (622 and Sony XBR4 LCD)...

    Well, I think I may have read it several times on this thread, but I need to ask this question to pinpoint the issue exactly: For a couple of years, I've been using the ViP-622 using the component outputs in 1080i mode (my TV only supports 1080i and does not have a digital input). However...

    New to DirecTV's offerings...

    First, let me say that I have Dish Network and have had Dish Network for several years. I am fine with their offerings and I love the HD-DVR (622/722) for ease of use, external USB, etc. However, my Dad is in the market for a satellite TV system. He just bought a 52" Sony XBR4 and he needs...

    Can I control the ViP-622 via IP?

    Hey folks, Is it possible to remote control the ViP-622 by IP? I'm not talking about setting up recordings, etc. like the DishOnline service is supposed to provide. I'm talkin about using a WiFi remote control to control the functions of the receiver (or get 2-way communications with the...

    HD PPV? E* has contract with whom?

    Is there a list of studios that have deals with E* to show their movies on HD PPV? Specifically, I'd like to know if Dreamworks and/or Paramount do HD PPV on Dish Network. I know I recorded Over The Hedge from HD PPV. I'm wondering if Transformers will eventually make it. No need to talk...

    622 Fast Forward and Rewind weirdness...

    The fast forward and rewind on the 622 sure has been extra choppy lately. I'n not sure what speed I'm using, but when I hit fast forward twice, it will fast forward...show a still frame...fast forward...show a still frame...rinse...repeat. It was always like that on mpeg-4 channels, but it...

    Has E* ever offered the 1000.2 for free to existing customers? If so, what were the conditions? Thanks!

    129 vs. 61.5?

    OK, in light of all of these Fox Sports Networks in HD, I should be getting channel 366 for FSNSW. However, it doesn't show up in my guide. So, I called E* technical support last night at around 1:30am and I got a very knowledgable guy who told me that my 61.5 dish should be moved to receive...

    When should we be seeing a new software update to the 622?

    I want to know when to expect more features that nobody asked for and another delay in those features we actually want. Those "HD" letters sure look great though. :p

    Is the 622 outdated now that 622-1 is coming?

    The Dish Network Press Conference talked about the 622-1 supporting the VC-1 codec. Does this mean that my $600 ViP-622 is now out of date compared to a FREE ViP-622-1? Can the 622 be firmware updated to decode VC-1? Probably not! That's why they added the "-1" at the end.

    ViP 622 Forum Posts

    I've noticed that there haven't been a lot of posts to this forum lately concerning the ViP. If there are, they just seem to be more question and answer type posts. Nothing like, "My _____ doesn't want to work." This seems to have happened with the latest software release. So, did E*...
