    Dish 5G internet????

    When the techs were at the house Tuesday one of them mentioned Dish was going to be offering 5G internet service. He did not have a time line for the roll out. I live in the boonies (30 miles to the nearest Walmart in all four directions) and we use Verizon for our internet service. Verizon...

    What happened to AMC and Sundance

    I got my Hopper 3 installed yesterday and I tried to find the Sundance channel to see what was on but I couldn’t find it. I searched “All channels”, “All unsubscribed” and “All subscribed” with no luck. I even Googled the channel number (126) and it ain’t there. AMC isn’t in the guide either...

    I hope I didn't make a big mistake

    Two weeks ago my 722 bit the dust. Yesterday, two Dish Techs came out to install a Hopper in the man cave. When they got there they said they were installing a Hopper and two Joeys and I told them it was just going to be one Hopper. They were, also, supposed to put in a new dish since we are...

    can a plasma set be repaired

    I have a 55" Samsung Plasma TV and tonight the old lady kept going on and on about some bullshirt and I got pissed and threw the Dish remote on the floor in the direction of the TV. The remote bounced up and hit the TV screen toward the bottom and now the TV wont do anything. Does anyone know...

    722 remote changes channels on the wrong 722

    A couple of weeks ago our 625 receiver gave up the ghost after 10 years of faithful service. Thanks to Chris_S I was able to get it replaced with a 722K. A technician came and swapped them out, but he did not have any more batteries for the #2 remote so we did not set it up. So now we have two...

    Designate which tuner to use?

    Is there a way, other than by priority, to designate which tuner the DVR will use to record a program? In the attached photo I have Elementary and Shades of Blue recording tonight. I want to make Elementary record off tuner 2 like the programs prior to it on the same channel. That way anything...

    what is the problem?

    I am having a problem watching recorded programs from ABC, NBC and CBS. I am on the Charleston, SC local channels. I have a Western Arc dish installed on the roof and the DVR that I watch is a 722K with only my man cave tv hooked to it. For the past month or so whenever I watched an NBC program...

    Great customer service from Dish

    We have been getting LOTS and LOTS of rain at my house over the last three months, and I was losing the satellite signal a lot more that usual. Last Thursday we had a power outage during one storm and when the power came back on I was getting a "Complete Signal Loss" message so I just watched...

    LNB drift ???

    Where is the diagnostic info that shows LNB drift? I do not have either of my receivers hooked up to the phone lines so they can't phone home with problems. I am asking because I am getting the partial signal loss on recordings just about every time there is any hint of rain and I never used...

    What DVR do I need???

    I currently have a 625 DVR in the den that feeds the TV in the MB right above it. I, also, have a 301E and 311 in 2 other rooms upstairs. The kids have all moved out and it's just me and the boss, now. I have made one of the upstairs rooms into a humble man cave (very primitive right now). I...

    I am having to hit the back button twice every time I want to go back. When I put the title in the title box a similar thread came up http://www.satelliteguys.us/satelliteguys-operations-center/2656-back-button-not-working-right.html In that thread mkm4 said "If you choose one of the settings...

    No Cinemax for a penny?

    Today I ordered the DVR Advantage on the internet. The web site would not let me deselect HBO and Cinemax for my premium channels. I called the customer service number and dropped HBO in the automated thingy, but then could not get back to the menu to drop Cinemax, but found an option to talk to...

    I need some real world information

    I would like to get some good information on how well the satellite DSL systems work. Mainly HughesNet and Wildblue(through Dish). I would appreciate real information, not off the wall rantings good or bad about either one. I live about 2 miles as the crow flies from the intersection of I-95...
