    Dish says I own the 722k that I have?

    So, after 8 years, I have finally decided to part ways with Dish. Had I not gotten the deal with Verizon where I'm saving $40/month for the next 2 years, I certainly would've stayed with them. Anyway, I had 3 receivers: 2 612's and 1 722k (3 or 4 months old). I returned the 612's, but not the...

    OTA Module Problem

    So, I received my free OTA module from Dish yesterday. I installed it today, with no problems, until I went to switch channels - it locked up my receiver and the only thing I could do is restart it by unplugging it. :( I have read about other problems with this module, but couldn't find any...

    Major Issue with my 722 Receiver - Anyone else have the same problem?

    So last week, after approximately 2 years, my 2nd 722 Receiver decides to stop working. I did the usual troubleshooting (unplugging it and plugging it back in, etc), to no avail. When I press the power button, I hear the hard drive start to spin up, the green power light comes on, then goes off...

    VIP 612 Remote Antenna Question

    I think I know the answer to this question, but I just would like someone to confirm whether I'm right or wrong. :) I have two 612 receivers on my second floor in the kids' bedrooms. What I am thinking of doing is, running coax cable from the UHF antenna on the receivers in the basement to...

    Email Address?

    Does anyone know the email address to send to if I am having a billing issue and the idiots from DISH's supposed support are giving me a hard time? I switched to the 722 reciever over a year ago, returned the 522, and they just hit me with a $200 charge stating I never returned the 522.

    Question about the resolution on the 722 receiver

    I finally got a new 52" Flat Panel HD TV 2 weeks ago. I have my 722 receiver, not 722k, connected to it via HDMI. Am I correct in saying that the reciever only outputs in 1080i? Does the 922 output 1080p?

    Lost OTA Signal

    I have a 722 receiver connected via HDMI to my TV and I also have an OTA antenna connected to the receiver. My question is this: I had to disconnect everything to install my new tv and stand last week, and since then, I no longer have my OTA channels. If I try to re-scan, it comes up with...

    Signal Distribution Question

    I currently have a 722 and a 322 receiver. There are 2 tv's connected to each of them. My main tv is connected to the HD tuner on the 722 and the tv in the basement is connected to the SD tuner on the 722. The 322 receiver is in the master bedroom with a tv connected to the main tuner and I have...

    522 DVR Question

    When I upgraded to HD Programming 6 months or so ago, I got the 722 receiver. Dish was supposed to send me a box to return the 522. I called them numerous times to ask for the box, but they never sent me one. I'm not being charged for this receiver, so my question is, is there anyway I can...

    722/Dishonline Question/Issue

    I got my 722 connected to my Linksys router last night. I was amazed at the amount of content available. Very Cool. My question is this. I selected a 45 minute show about Dinosaurs to download. When I went to bed around 11:00, it was still in the process of downloading. It was gonna take awhile...

    New HD Customer as of 9/18/08

    I finally took the plunge and signed up for HD. The installer will be coming this Thursday, 9/18/08. I currently have a 322 and a 522. Is it safe to assume all that will be done is a swap of the 522 with the 722 and replacement if the Dish 500 with the Dish 1000?

    OTA HD Signal Question

    I recently acquired a Hisense DB-2010 HD Receiver from a friend at work and a DB4 antenna from Antennas Direct | Your TV and HDTV Antenna Source. I installed them both last night and the picture looks magnificent. I am able to pick up about 14 channels with this setup. In fact, I am able to pick...

    Any Recommendations?

    I have a 36" Toshiba Flat Screen (not flat panel) HDTV monitor TV. I was originally under the assumption that the converter boxes that you can get the coupons for had HD outputs, but that is not the case. So I'm looking to get a decent HDTV Tuner with an antenna to get my local HDTV channels...

    Confused about the converter boxes

    I think I am really confused. Different people tell me different things. My main tv in the family room is a 36" Toshiba Flat Screen (not flat panel) TV. It is capable of displaying an HD picture, but it does not have an HD tuner built in. So my question is this: first, are the converter boxes...

    I have two questions about my DVR-522 Receiver

    Hi everyone. I'm new here. Well, I am new to posting anyway. I'm a long time reader, 1st time posting here. Anyway, my two questions are this: 1) Every night before bed, we let our 5yr old and 3yr old watch a recorded cartoon of their choice. What I've noticed is this: whenever the program is...
