    DISH Price Increases

    Hi guys! Long term lurker, rare poster. I just wanted to give people an update on my experience with Dish Network which can save *many* of you *TONS* of money! I have been a Dish Network customer for 2.5 years now. Once my 2 year contract ended 6 months ago I immediately called to cancel given...

    Dish Anywhere Streaming Speed

    I thought *I* was the one supplying the bandwidth. I have the upload speed to serve myself on the other end. How does that affect any other customers? Oh well, I guess I got my answer...

    Dish Anywhere Streaming Speed

    So there's no way to increase it then?

    Dish Anywhere Streaming Speed

    Hello, I'm a brand new Dish Network customer and am loving my Hopper with Sling! However, I do not know how to get the maximum buffer speed on Dish Anywhere. I have an internet connection of 50 mbps downstream and 25 mbps upstream. I have my Hopper with Sling hardwired with ethernet and have...

    Want to get another HDTV - Are two 622s possible?

    I already have the metal DishHD Gold package (I got it in conjuction with the 622), and got that package JUST before they started the $10 off for 10 months promotion and lowered the leasing price for a 622 to $199, so I payed $299 for mine without any rebate. So now I have one 622 and one 522...

    Want to get another HDTV - Are two 622s possible?

    Thanks guys. Kikkenit2, did you pay a trade-up price for the second one also? I don't think I am willing to pay TWO trade-up prices, especially since the first trade-up was $300 with no rebate of any kind. I'll look into the e-mail after the holidays, as whatchel1 suggested.

    Want to get another HDTV - Are two 622s possible?

    OK guys, here's my current situation. Right now I have one HDTV and 3 standard TVs. The HDTV and one standard TV is hooked up via a 622, and my other two standard TVs are hooked up via a 522. Notice that every TV has a DVR. This is a MUST and cannot change! Now, I'm thinking of getting...

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    I think I'm only looking for boxes that have a full factory warranty, so unless your boxes have that I'd rather buy them new online.

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    I see, so since I have 3 satellite locations I will need a DP34 switch. That's not that bad then, it looks like a $215 (receiver + switch) solution. I looked at the manual and it seems simple enough. I believe the basement is already hooked up with the coaxial cable - there's just no receiver...

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    OK, yes I am POSITIVE that I have the DP34 switch. I doubled checked. Chris, thanks for your suggestion, but I really would want to watch 5 different shows at the same time. So, basically, would ALL that I need to buy be another DP34 switch and 322 box? And could someone please shed some...

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    Bump! I'm assuming that buying a DP24 instead of the DP34 switch will not work in my situation if I elect to buy the 322 (for a total of 6 tuners), right?

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    Thanks! OK, so I am currently looking at $215 for a new 322 and DPP34 from Dishstore.net. Will I need anything else in order to do this, such as special screws or my own coaxial cabling? And will Dish do the installation for me, or must I do it myself? If they do it for me, what am I looking...

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    So I take it that I must buy the DPP44 switch by myself? And will Dish do the installation (and for what price)? Is there anything else that could work for me other than the expensive DPP44 switch?

    Need to buy stuff for 5th TV - Not sure exactly what...

    Hey guys. Let me briefly explain my situation. I currently have 4 TVs hooked up to DishHD Gold service. I have one 622 box for two TVs (one obviously being an HDTV) and one 522 box for my other two TVs. Now, I also have an old big-screen TV in the basement, but it's currently only used for...

    Signal Strength

    Bad rain fade? Hey guys. I have a Dish 500 system with 61.5, 110, and 119 connected to a DPP34 switch. Now, my signal levels range from 86-103 on the three satellites. I always get a perfect picture normally; however, it seems that EVERY thunderstorm knocks my Dish service out for a good...

    622 Lost HDMI output

    Got my new box - it works fine for now. Fast shipping and easy setup though, except for the long wait time for activation. Will post when it stops working, cause it will.

    622 Lost HDMI output

    I guess I should add that my HDMI output on the 622 just died today after about one month of working nearly perfectly (there was one hiccup and I just unplugged and plugged the cable in again and it worked fine). This SURELY is NOT a software issue people; I tested my receiver while pushing the...

    VIP622 for $199 starting 6/9/06

    Only if that's their only receiver, because the first receiver is free, even for you. You'd still pay the $5.98 a month DVR fee, and so would a new customer. At least that's my understanding. Now, can somone please answer my question - it's the last one on the previous page (page 4)?

    VIP622 for $199 starting 6/9/06

    Hmm, I was just wondering if the "30 day grace period" also exists for EXISTING customers who have recently signed up for the 622 deal. I signed up before the promotion, so I paid $299 for the box, but can I still cancel since I'm within 30 days without any penalty? I know for a fact that new...

    Hd Dvr - $349?!

    I see, thanks for clearing that up. However, even existing customers still have that "30-day grace period" during which they can cancel and incur no penalty, right? Because looking at the agreement for new customers, it is clear that they have this freedom.

    Hd Dvr - $349?!

    Tom, on the Dish new customer sign-up page it gives you an OPTION of choosing either a $50 activation fee and NO contract or free $50 credit and an 18 month contract. Are you sure that if a new customer (or current customer for that matter) wanted to leave after recouping all the credit money...
