That's ideal, thanks for the tip! (Go Tigers, too!)

We're trying to watch episode 301 of the Walking Dead that Dish is providing on-demand for free. Picture quality is great, but the center channel sound is completely gone. I'm getting ambient sounds (back channels, etc..) but no dialog. We have 2 TV, both with the same problem. Main TV is...

Here's an update. After trying a bunch of things, I finally made some progress when I tried different USB ports (in this case, the front USB did the trick). Then - I ran into another problem. But, eddwall's suggestion above solved that problem. Now, I'm on to the next problem. I can now watch...

Every device in my house can connect to the Sling and see what's on the DVR, but none of them can play anything. I've now tested Windows and Mac, wired and wireless, iPad, iPhone. I've reset my hopper. Not sure what to do next. Is it even worth my time to call Dish on this? Based on the chat...

I plan on doing some more troubleshooting today. Earlier, I tried a Windows 7 notebook on the wireless network, and that failed, too. I also tried my Macbook over ethernet, same error (error #36, where it can connect but the connection was interrupted). This is all on my home network, so all...

I tried using Dish's chat support over this issue, what a joke. "Unplug your router, computer and Hopper, and then try it again". When that didn't work, the chat rep told me it was a problem with my ISP, despite the fact that I told him other computers work, and I also told him that I had no...

Hi - I recently added a sling adapter to my Hopper (with one Joey). I've had it for about 3 weeks. It worked at first, but now it fails more than it works. I'm using it entirely on my home network. It works well on our Windows 7 computer, but I'm having problems using my Mac and iPad. It worked...

Yeah - for me, all the other recordings I have show a progress bar at the bottom, except the PTAT shows. Maybe it has something to do with how I group my recordings? In any event, I'd score some points with my wife if I can get that progress bar to show on PTAT recordings.

true, but on non-PTAT programs, that progress bar shows directly on the icon for that program, no need to bring up program info. So, let's say I have 5 episodes of "The Regular Show" recorded. I can see which ones I've watched 100% and which ones I've seen 0% (or 50%, etc...) without having to...

I'm not sure if it is due to some setting I messed up, but I noticed that none of the recorded shows in the PTAT show the progress bar and percentage watch at the bottom of the show's icon, yet any non-PTAT show does. This is actually a really handy feature, especially for PTAT so we can tell if...

Day 2 with my 1 Hopper and 1 Joey to replace a 622 and 522. New UI is great, lots of small touches that make it very useable Both Hopper and Joey are a lot smaller and run cooler than the 2 DVRs they replaced Remotes are both RF! No more line of site issues when using the remote Lots of...

pm please for one hopper and one Joey

Don't make the mistake of assuming that resolution is the sole determining factor in picture quality. It is an important consideration, but just one factor. Be sure to consider contrast ratio, color accuracy and other factors. I'd take a 720p TV with great contrast ratio and color accuracy any...

its a leased 522. So, If I go paperless, sign-up for the 2 year commitment and forgo the Platinum pack (which I don't have anyway), I can actually save $10/month? that would be nice...

So - If I understand correctly, I will incur a one-time upgrade fee, but no increase in my monthly bill. And, it sounds like I need to hurry on this...

heh... yeah, the 62" living room TV is hooked to our 622, the 42" bedroom TV is hooked to the 522. Not sure what model dish I have, but I'm in the Boise, ID market and currently have no problems with receiving programming on my 622. the last I checked, I could get what looked to be a 622 for $50...

Hi, I currently have America’s top 250 with locals and Gold HD. According to my online account info, our original 522 receiver is the primary receiver, and our 622 is receiver #2. We have an HD TV attached to the 522. Does Dish still offer Dish’n It Up (or something similar) to upgrade? It’s...

I am using a Harmony 688 with my ViP 622 DVR. Works fine, for the most part. No compatibility issues, it does every function that the original remote does (plus runs all my other gear, too). I use AAA rechargeable batteries, one set in the remote, one set in the charger, no issues there. I'm not...

How much are you willing to spend? Getting something that can reliably send a signal over two rooms might be tough. I've had a lot of success with this device: Amazon.com: Next Generation Remote Control Extender: Electronics but I doubt it would give you the distance you need. I've seen...

yeah, we already have HD service, so I'm assuming we have the necessary equipment outside.

Hi, currently, I have a 522 upstairs and a 622 downstairs. We now have a hi-def TV upstairs, so I'd like to upgrade the 522 to an HD DVR. Since we do most of our TV viewing downstairs, I was thinking of swapping out the 522 for a 722, putting the 722 downstairs and moving the 622 upstairs. Is...

Not to be mean, but you're way off base here (often referred to as being "full of crap" in some circles). The "uneducated TV people" comment in particular shows a profound level of ignorance. Now, if you want the best picture quality possible, plasma is the way to go. As I'm sure others will...

Arg!!! Just a bit of venting here. So, an Onkyo repair depot has had my 605 since August 28th, this is the 2nd repair attempt for the same problem. Well, I just found out that they now finally figured out what was causing the problem, but it will be another three weeks before the replacement...

I wish you luck. While I'm a big fan of Onkyo products, their tech support is mostly a bunch of d#$%chebags. Just be prepared to duke it out with them. You might get lucky and find a tech support rep that is polite and competent, though.

Amazon.com: Next Generation Remote Control Extender: Electronics Give that a shot. Works like a champ for me, and will control all my gear which I have hidden away. Another option, some TVs have IR repeaters, so you can plug in an IR repeater cable to the back of the TV and extend the IR...
