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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The Onkyo HT-SR800 is a really nice home theater in box, much nicer than anything I've seen in its price range, and Onkyo has a great sale on refurbished units right now. On the official Onkyo outlet website (Shop Onkyo) they have this deal: Shop Onkyo link to the HT-SR800 1. Create an...

A few months ago, we upgraded from a 501 DVR to the 622, picked up the HD programming and switched to the DVR advantage plan. Since then, our bills have been all over the map, with credits, charges, etc... Though I probably should have caught this sooner, now that our monthly Dish bill has...

I've had my 622 for a few weeks, but always had it in single mode, didn't even have the cable run to another TV, until this weekend. That part works fine, but I can't get the UHF Pro remote (blue key, black #2 on it, version 6.3) to control anything on the 622. It controls my TV just fine, but I...

Just a couple of days ago, we upgraded one of our receivers to a 622. Previously, we had a 522 DVR upstairs, and a 510 DVR hooked to our 62" DLP. On Monday, the installer swapped out the 510 for the 622 and upgraded us to a Dish 1000.2. At first, things looked great. In fact, the 622 has...

I've seen a lot of threads asking "where should I buy this or that?" I've done a lot of online shopping over the years, so here are some resources that have helped me out when shopping for home theater eqipment. First, I only buy from manufacturer-authorized retailers. When in doubt, I check...

A co-worker and I were talking about upgrades for her Dish account, and we both logged into our accounts to see what the charges would be. For some reason, the cost for her to upgrade to a DVR 625 is different than mine. At the moment, she only has a dual-tuner SD receiver (322 I believe). I...

OK - fighting back the information overload, I think I understand my options. I've been one of those Dish customers waiting for the dust to settle before moving to HD from Dish. Right now, I have a Dish 500, a 522 and a 510, with the 510 plugged into my HDTV. So, for $299 (which I consider...

Hopefully, some of the more knowledgeable folks here can help me clear up some confusion I'm having regarding where Dish seems be going with it's HD plans. Now I realize that we should all hopefully learn a lot more on Monday night, but my curiosity is getting the best of me now. Here's my...

Argh!!! I sure wish Dish would have left well enough alone with the 522 software updates. about 2 versions back, things were working great, but now that the new network season is under way, they had to mess with things. Has anyone seen something like this: TV one set to record my wife's...

OK - I'm not in the mood to call a Dish CSR for this one, hoping to find it online instead. Is there any where a person could look to find out what RSN I'd get if up upgraded to America's top 60 plus? I'd rather not spend the $5.00/month unless I know which one I'd get in the Boise, ID area...

Now that ESPN has dropped NHL coverage, I probably won't be able to see a game until this spring, so I was considering picking up the Center Ice package, but I have no Idea on the cost. (I like hockey, but not enough to break my budget over it...). The Dish website is pretty useless for info on...

I suspect some RF interference, possibly even another 522 RF remote in the neighborhood, because every once in a while, our TV2 will go nuts and start changing channels, scroling through various channels, etc... This really messes with recordings scheduled on TV2. Could our 900MHz wireless...

I've set up a bunch of timers through the guide on my 522 (L232 software, in dual mode). I've set each timer to record either all episodes or new episodes, no Dish Pass timers. Problem is, I have two shows on at the same time on Sunday night, but no way to have one show record on tuner 1 and the...

For the most part, I've had pretty good luck with our 522, no audio synch problems, no guide of death, etc... It has certainly been getting a workout over the last few months and the only complaint I have is over occasional recording problems. Naturally, it only seems to plague stuff my wife...
