    Sony 65" X950G, any comments

    Any thoughts or comments? I want to be current if i can stream any 4K in the future. Currently in a rural area with a 10 MBPS DSL line. Can stream Amazon HD and use DISH for most viewing. I see where the 2019 X950G has several features the X900 may not have had. Although closeouts on the...

    Any D.I.R.T members online? None show up on list

    I have looked several times today and right now there are 110 members listed online while I am looking at the DISH Forum. I looked down the 5 page list and none of the 110 were D.I.R.T. Am I doing something wrong? Over the years, MattG (Speedy) has been my go to guy for great help, but his...

    Western Digital 2 TB My Cloud instead of My Book

    Will the Western Digital 2 TB My Cloud external hard drive work with a 612 and a 722? I currently have a WD My Book and additional units are hard to find. Walmart has a close out on the 2 TB My Cloud's for $35. Just curious if they will work. I did a search for "My Cloud" but did not find any...

    Cost to switch SD box for HD Box, House has one HD-DVR

    I am trying to help my in-laws who signed up for DirecTV through AT&T last fall. They wanted Uverse but it was not available so AT&T set them up with DirecTV. They have 1 HD-DVR and 4 SD receivers. This did not make sense to me since 2 of the 4 boxes are hooked to HD tv's. After they were on...

    Paladia is back without BBPass or not??

    I have Ch 369, Paladia on one DVR but not the other. I know that is was moved to the blockbuster pass deal at one time but i have not changed anything in a year or more. Did they recently move it back to the premium pack (or whatever they call it). Should I be happy that I still have it on one...

    ESPN, 140, blacks out at 2:30 PM Central each Saturday. Any ideas.

    This has happened the last 4 saturdays. The events are way outside my area. A few hours the black out goes away. I get an error code 744. Both receivers are hooked up to phone lines and the call out does work. The first Saturday only the 722 blacked out but we were able to watch the rest of...

    I hit the wrong button and deleted all the shows on my hard drive. They still appear to be there under HISTORY and each shows as LOCKED. Is there any way to restore these recordings on a VIP 722 ? Thanks

    NVRAM reset. Can't get to "reformat HD". Update: I finally got to the MEMORY DUMP screen but never got a prompt to reformat I am trying to resolve hard drive failure code 311. On a 722K I was able to do step 1. (Menu-6-3-Info-Right-Left-TV/Video(or Input on some remotes) to clear the NVRAM...

    Hard Drive Failure?? Is it really?? VIP 722

    I got the dreaded Error 311 but it says "in the meantime, you can still watch live tv". Nope, no live tv. Plug in 1T USB drive, it recognized it, offered to manage device but could not. I know a lot of hard drives are failing, but this one worked fine, until I transfered 4 programs to the USB...

    Need Azimuth & Elevation for Sat 77 W for Little Rock, ARK. 72201

    I can find info for the other satellites from my VIP612 but for Sat 77 it says n/a. Same for some old software I have. I am in the Little Rock area for a month or so with my RV and they switched me to the Little Rock locals but the HD versions are on 77W. Right now I hit 110, 119, and 129 and...

    Need Satellite 77W to get locals in HD. Anyway to add using a second dish?

    I am at a temporary location for several months and the locals in HD are on 77W. I am set up with a dome on my RV for 110, 119 and 129. Dish switched my location and I get the SD feeds off 110 but I want networks in HD. Is there anyway to use an old single lnb dish to hit 77w and use it to get...

    How do you get a 612 to record on TV1 (Sat 1 input ) only ??

    I need to force my 612 to record on Tuner 1 only since i have a Winegard Dome on my RV and only the Sat 1 connection can change the dish to another satellite. Sat 2 input can receive only and is limited to the bird that the Sat 1 input has picked. Everything seems to automatically try to...

    Size of external hard drive. is the 1T limit an absolute??

    Failing to research first, i brought home a 1.5T external hard drive. For $70 I just could not turn it down. At least I waited to open it till I read the DISH instructions. Is 1T still the max? I can swap it for a Western Digital My Book WDBAAF0010EBK that is only 1T but more money or i can get...

    Dish 500 locked on 119 & 129

    I was setting up a Dish 500 with a 211 rcvr for my RV and intended to hit 110 for my networks in HD and 119 for whatever else I might want in SD when it finally locked in on 119, and 129. The 500 had just come off the roof of the house and the settings were unchanged. I finally got it to turned...

    Tech support web portal

    This may have been posted before, but i did a search and did not find it. There is a lot of information at DISH Network - Tech Portal . ( www.tech.dishnetwork.com ) Since my Vizio keeps my IR remote from working with a Dish rcvr, they offered me a UHF remote. Apparently this is a know problem...

    722k Service menu to raise audio output level?

    Why was there a volume control on the older units and not the newer units? It is like my 722k is set at 75-80% of the output I got off my 3900 and 2700. How do you access the service menu? Surely there is one. I need to raise the volume on my HD broadcasts off HBO and Showtime. I don't care...

    Great Customer Retention Specialist, but only a 622 rcvr

    Well, I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with a CRS who was in the USA. The best experience I have ever had with DISH. We went through several packages and then it took him 5 minutes to get approval to treat me as a new customer. He waived a $200 fee that the first rep wanted and agreed to...

    Any problem with TurboHD and AAD?

    Does anyone see any problem with an existing customer upgrade from SD to TurboHD Gold plus HD networks from AAD? I want one HD-DVR and 2 HD receivers. I would like to be able to take the HD-DVR with me when I travel but have got the impression that they want or need to be hooked to a phone...

    HD picture quality from All America Direct/DNS

    In the last topic, only one person mentioned the HD picture quality. I don't like the price but would like to hear from others about the HD picture quality off the Chicago feeds from All America Direct. Also, what satellite are these on?? We RV about 4 months out of the year and I want...

    HD for distant networks, All American Direct

    Last year several people posted that AAD would be offering the 4 networks in HD starting the first quarter of 2009. In November of 2007, they told me 1st 1/2 of 2008. WELL, as of today, Rowlanda said they don't know when it will take place. She did say the owner of the company was "Mike" and he...
