    My quest to get DLNA working on the Hopper...

    I'm using TVersity on my WHS machine and I can play content just fine from the Hopper. No real need for it though because I either use my Yamaha AVR or Logitech Revue.

    When can you order?

    I used the online chat and was able to get 2 hoppers and 2 joeys for a $200 upgrade fee. I also signed up for the protection plan and the installation is free. No complaints here.

    Why is the 922 so screwed up?

    I loved the 721 receivers. I had two of them and they had a couple of features that none of the newer DVRs have even with all the stuff that was promised but not delivered. They did require a reboot now and then and those always took forever but overall they were really good to me. I also like...

    I also found the picture quality of the 922 to be better than the receiver it replaced (622).

    Remote bit the dust...

    If the Dish Home Protection Plan covers remote controls (and I believe it does), you can sign up for it, Dish will send you a remote for free and you can cancel as soon as you have your new remote.

    Major DVR 721 Trouble - Long HELP!!!!!

    I'm no expert by any means but I think that you have to connect both outputs of the LNB to the switch.

    Ordering Dish, What do I need?

    Be aware that some people have had problems when using a ClubDish code with a local installer. They sometimes "forget" to tell DishNetwork that you are using a code. I would not let that stop me from ordering from a local installer though. The quality of the install seems to be better on average...

    Weird guide issue, missing programs

    Just to confirm what Pepper said, the guide on the 721 does show programs correctly that are less than 30 minutes. I have never tried to record them so I don't know whether that works correctly or not but at least the guide is correct. Bimmerbenz

    Upgrading to DVR on Dish is making me mad!! Help Please!

    The price you quoted for the Dish DVR is the retail price of the machine with no strings attached. If you are willing to commit to Dish Network for some time (usually 1 year), give them a call and unless you have already received a promotional upgrade from them within the last year, they will...

    Just got Yellow Card

    Got my yellow card last Saturday. Did anybody else notice their 721 dialing out to activate your programming with the new card? That's what mine did at least. It did not report the PPV on the 721 at that time though. I also tried my old blue card and it's still working too. All my timers and...

    522 usage with single satellite feed

    There is also a DishPro Plus Twin LNBF in the works that should be available any day now. It should be less expensive than the DPP44 switch and with a DPP seperator, it will also only require one line to go inside. Bimmerbenz

    Timer padding annoyance and problem

    If your 522 does this than it might be my receiver or just a bug that occurs only under certain circumstances. All I know is that Monday last week and again this week, I was watching an already recorded show and had 2 timers set, 30 minutes apart and on 2 different channels, both with one minute...

    install dvr/pvr

    As far as I know, if you order the DVR through Dish directly, they will send someone out to install everything necessary and if you order from a retailer, you either have to install it yourself or pay someone to come out and do the install. Be aware that Dish would only be able to give you...

    Timer padding annoyance and problem

    Ned: I don't know if this is the case for you but I had this exact problem with timers where I changed the padding on already existing, recurring timers. From my own observation, it seems that if you create a recurring timer and try to change the padding later on, after a reboot the padding...

    Just had my first major incident

    I never push the Guide button anymore. If I want to get to the guide, I go through the menu. It's a hassle but better than waiting for the receiver to reboot. Bimmerbenz

    The Most Retarded Answer Back Ever?!?!?!

    I wouldn't even go that far. Most of them probably think that the hardware that Dish sells/leases to customers are the satellites. Bimmerbenz

    DHA and credit rating????

    They may also deny you for having a negative item on your credit report that is related to satellite TV service, even if paid. For example, if you have a paid collection from Comcast, they may deny based on this alone and you could have a score of 800+ and still wouldn't get approved. Happened...
