My VIP722K began spontaneous reboots several times a day and so I logged onto Dish Online tech support for help. So after jumping thru the standard hoops they must use to make sure I'm not too crazy or stupid they forwarded me to advance support and that fellow read the chat text and...

One piece of my new video distribution IR extender equipment doesn't work sending commands to the 722 while it works with other devices. And the vendor's support site suggested Dish used a frequency outside the repeater's 40 to 56 cps useful range.

Did a search but only saw folks saying for years that it didn't work for them and asking if it can be done but no one seemed to know the real answer. Ice Berg seemed to say he had a setup switch that did this on his 211 EHD but I couldn't find any thing like that on my 722. Also I noticed...

Since the D tailgater decision I have come to believe they will never let a plain old VIP be on an account with a hoppa and having an entire separate account for the 612 wouldn't help because the recordings from the 722 wouldn't play in the trailer. The same problem with a 211 Second, I was...

I've seen more than a couple of posts where the folks got a hopper and two joeys for free with protection plan or automatic pay or something and a lot of posts for free hopper/2joey upgrades plus 99 dollar installs (all with 2 year commitments, of course) I'm wondering if Dish allows it's...

I've been with Dish since there was just one satellite location at 119 and I had to install everything myself. Now it is getting more and more likely that I will have a hopper & 3 joey setup. But I've read so many threads that mention installers coming on like ICE Agents and ripping and...

Since the bottom feeders on the top floor at Dish are making me start a second account for my RV because I want Hoppers it has been suggested I get a flex account for my RV 612. I had decided on a service only account. What are the differences between the two types of accounts? Or maybe just...

I want one account to be hopper for the house and the second account to be for my OWNED 612 that is in my RV. The online chat I thought was so great just crashed and burned when the guy insisted, first that I couldn't do this, then second I needed to contact a local retailer to start a service...

For a little while I swear I had a new version of Dish RA. The controls that appear on the screen while video is playing have always been, as far as I know, 3 buttons. At the top center are first, on the left the 3 horizontal lines. Next, in the middle was a regular triangle play button...

I use DRA daily now and I have had pretty good luck with it for several days but for two days an odd bug or two showed up. The first may not be a bug but the "my recordings" on DRA shows some of the DVR's harddrive programs and lots of the EHD programs. But what I'm sure is a bug is that with...

This is far from urgent. But for at least 5 years I have been chatting and calling Dish once a year or so because of a small but important problem important to me. Right now CNBC HD 208 a box in the lower right corner that indicates I can hear the Bernanke testimony by using SAP while they...

Apple just invited the media to it's headquarters for "an event" on March 7th.

So recorded the Oscar "Red Carpet" show 4:00 - 5:30 PST and am recording the "The Oscars" 5:30 - 8:30 PST. Now looking at the recordings menu there is only one entry and that is for "The Oscars" and it's shown as recording in progress. So I click on it and "The Red Carpet" picks up in the...

With this you can put an extra TV where ever you want. And you can move it anytime. It uses WiFi from the main Uverse box to send video anywhere in the house, or even back yard or garage. Too bad Dish didn't think of making a product like this.... Wait... Wait... They did!! It's called the...

Now I have two Android devices; a phone and a tablet. So how can I get them to have access to my NAS? And I know you can buy a DLNA gadget to feed wifi or ethernet video into your flat screen via HDMI. So what software do the various parts of my home network need to send video to that flat...

I'm sure there are several posts among the thousands about Hopper that mention this but, Is there a design limit on how many joeys a one hopper can connect with and/or is there a limit to how many simultaneous streams it can provide to the joeys; 1. If they are all different (a mix of live...

I personally will deal with the second account it that is what I have to do because it wouldn't be activated that many days a year, but only if I can still move my EHDs between the Hopper and VIP in the trailer. Otherwise all bets are off.

Not to say those knot-heads are doing anything useful but it's free and it often is the only place to see important committee meetings when both houses are in session and C-SPAN's charter requires that 1 & 2 stay live from their respective chambers.

So earlier today I found out that my VIP722K can backup settings to a 20 or 21 remote. So I did that. The first thing the Wizard did was tell me the remote that has been running the 722 since it was new was not registered or something to work with this 772 and did I want to make it so. So I...

My wife and offered to buy a tablet for me for my birthday. I've looked around quite a lot and like what I've read about the 10" Thrive. I read all the feedback on both Amazon and Best Buy and found no deal breakers and a huge majority of happy owners. I'm aiming for the 16g model. BTW, I am...

Wondering if anyone has successfully modded the Winegard single LNB crank up dish to either a dual or three LNB setup? Here is a link to its description page at camping world. Winegard Crank-up Satellite Dish - Product - Camping World I'm going to give it a shot at any rate but I'm too old to...

Do many of you folks have confidence that we will see it before the Christmas holidays? My 622 went squirrely again Sunday and it took two "pull the plug" re-sets to get it back to semi-sane behavior. It may not last much longer and I want to use my "every year or so upgrade reward" for a 922...

I've got Platinum HD and it shows I don't get it. WTF, over.

I've been working to get my buddy in another state to drop cable and get Dish and when I finally did he was refused because the local dealer couldn't get a credit OK from Dish. Can I co-sign or put up a security deposit or something? How about reminding them of my 10+ year customer loyalty...

My blue button remote (6.3 in RF for TV 2) keeps going into TV mode between button pushes in SAT mode. Darnedest thing. Makes no sense at all. Put in fresh Kirkland Alkaline batteries and no change. Anyone seen this? Is a cure known? (Besides throwing it away)
