Have you consider that Directv has 5 million more subscribers than DISH. Personally, I just dumped Dish and returned to Directv. I will take HR box over 722 any day.
And yet, Directv is adding way more subscribers than Dish.
I hope you don't regret this decision. I was with Directv then I switched to Dish and now I'm back with Directv. The only good thing about dish are speedier receivers and EHD.
Some problems with the 722 receiver:
- Few times a week I would get a show that was only partially recorded (common...
Two of my four local stations have out of sync audio problem (WDBJ-CBS and WSLS-NBC). Watching Merlin on NBC a week ago was like watching a foreign movie with dubbing. Audio problem on WDBJ is less severe but consistent. Audio on WSLS goes from perfect to 'foreign movie'. Neither WSET-ABC nor...
Please make sure that you don't delete shows from your external hard driver while recording other shows. There might be other problems but deleting shows from your EHD while recording other shows will definitely mess-up your currently recorded shows (I was able to replicate this problem).
I switch from directv and I thought that having my 722K "turn off" itself at night would bother me but it's not a big deal at all - just extra select button press.
What is 9.2? Is it the channel that 9.1 used to be? Can you watch anything on 9.2? If the channel that was on 9.1 is now on 9.2 should not be a problem. One channel in my area changed from 21.2 to 21.1. I modified station name for 21.1 and the guide was correctly picked up.
On my receiver both SD and HD locals from DISH have suffix -0. All OTA channes have -1, -2, etc.
There is possibility that your local PBS changed channel assignment. Try re-scanning your locals.
Occasionally, I get a message on my 722k that the signal was lost for no reason (no rain or tree). The problem is that the message will not go away and the signal is not re-acquired. I have to go to next channel and come back to fix this problem. It happens on all satellites. My signal strength...
WDBJ7 is a flagship station for Schurz and the most watched station in Roanoke. WDBJ7 management is very progressive and they definitely wouldn't want to alienate their viewers.
This was posted a week ago on WDBJ7 site:
High Definition Information for Dish Customers
WDBJ7 is working with Dish Network to enable Dish to transmit WDBJ7's high definition programming. We expect that Dish will begin carrying WDBJ7 in high definition by June 17...
My co-worker got Dish Network last week installed. He has problem waking up his both receivers (722k and 222k) in the morning. Receivers are not responding to the SELECT button on the remote control. Once he is able to bring the receivers up, they work fine.
How do I resume a show that is being recorded and I started to watch it. Often when I watch sport events and get to live, I switch to watch something else for a while. I would like to resume previously watch event that is still recording but the only thing that I get is VIEW and START OVER. This...
This problem happened again tonight. Last 15 minutes of NBA game was cut off. Picture froze and pressing skip or FF would do nothing. I tried to replay the show and it would stop at the same spot. Timer indicated that there should be more.
Is this a problem with my receiver or there is a...
I have 722k and I've experienced this problem 3 times in the last two months since I switched to Dish. As a matter of fact, it happened this evening when I paused basketball game after the first half. When I resumed it skipped to the end.
