    Where's my DVR Icon?

    Dear Dish Support, Please restore the DVR Icon to my Hopper's main menu, sooner, rather than later! Extremely angry, Jeff

    Upgrade or Repair - Your Opinion is Wanted!

    I've been using Harmony remotes for years, is there a compelling reason to use Dish's remotes (current or future)?

    Upgrade or Repair - Your Opinion is Wanted!

    I currently have 2 receivers, a VIP722K and a VIP211. After some other issues were resolved, I have determined that the 211 is no longer functional. I can, of course, get the 211 replaced and be done with it. I can also go down the upgrade path. I am thinking I would want a Hopper (with or...

    No TV :-(

    I guess I have some new expectations that I need to deal with - apparently complete signal loss is easier to achieve on the EA than it was on the mixed arc I was running previously. The good news is that the signal came back shortly after I left for work. Thanks everyone!

    No TV :-(

    On Monday Dish technicians came and switched me over to the Eastern Arc and all was good. Last night a line of severe thunderstorms came through here and this morning I have no TV. To be clear, I had OTA until I power cycled my 722. Now, all I see is the 'Complete Signal Loss' screen and I can't...

    Missing satellite 129?

    I am now on the Eastern Arc and I have my locals back! Now I think I need a Hopper, a Super Joey, and a wireless Joey!

    Missing satellite 129?

    Let the saga continue... OK, so I went on-line to mydishnetwork and added the protection plan anticipating a service call to either fix my existing setup or to change me over to Eastern Arc. I had to run out an do some errands, when I returned I no longer had satellite locals or local guide...

    My DMA is EA - I guess it may be time to switch over.

    Missing satellite 129?

    Hi Everyone! Been a while since I've been here, it's great to see all the new names, but, even better to see all the old familiar ones. Anyway, I've developed a problem with my install. I have 2 dishes feeding a DPP44 to a 722k and a 211. Recently, we have experienced complete signal loss on an...

    Help - 4 Hour Recordings

    I had the same issue yesterday, but was also seeing 'Information Unavailable' and saw bunches of timers potentially misfiring. First tried 'Check Switch' - still had issues. Then did the power reset (unplug, wait, plug in) and most issues cleared up. Manually fixed a few schedule issues. Units...

    ViP 211 goes dark - intermittently

    After over 5 years of (mostly) trouble-free operation, my 211 has started exhibiting an intermittent issue. Once or twice a day (most days) while watching on the satellite tuner, the TV will suddenly go black. Waiting for 5 minutes or so will cause the receiver to reset itself, reboot, and...

    Directions for moving a VIP211?

    Quick follow-up. I got the 722K with OTA module for the $15 service call fee (I signed up for DHPP for $6 / month - must remember to cancel it when the early termination fee expires). It appears that my EHD has issues which has caused all this stuff, anyone know if I can make an image copy of it...

    Directions for moving a VIP211?

    That's exactly what was happening. I disconnected the hard drive from the 622 and it isn't doing the 'bad' stuff anymore, still working on it. Not Eastern yet. Thanks!

    Directions for moving a VIP211?

    Yes, I did, hmm - maybe it isn't dead - I'll go try it now thanks!

    Directions for moving a VIP211?

    There are 2 sat lines coming from the wall as that is where the 622 is supposed to live. I'm not sure if there is a splitter or if both lines (plus the single sat line in the other room) come off the DPP44(?).

    Directions for moving a VIP211?

    I thought I understood this stuff, but am having trouble getting it done. Situation in a nutshell - My 622 died, the replacement 622 Dish sent DOA, so invoked DIU to upgrade to 722K with OTA. Tech coming on Wednesday. Want to move 211 located in other room into room where 622 lives. Got it...

    Whats up with this web site?

    Wish I could say it works great for me, but it is awful. I'm using FF 3.6.13, and ABP is installed (but disabled on satelliteguys.us). Lower left of FF has 'Waiting for vb4.satelliteguys.us...' I've tried clearing cache, etc. Clicking on any forum name takes forever to load forum, then clicking...
