I have had DirectTV for 3 years (after having Dish for 10+). I am tempted to go back to Charter which is my local cable company because I am already paying them $60+ a month for internet, and my DirectTV is almost $200 a month. I did have Charter in between Dish and DirectTV (left Dish because...

I have a Genie receiver with one remote location unit. Tonight I had a program set to record at 9PM tonight. No big deal, but it was the only thing being recorded tonight. So, I was watching a baseball game on the primary receiver, and I got a message telling me the receiver had to switch to...

I have a Cisco DPC3010 cable modem I purchased from Charter (my cable provider) along with the internet service. (I bought it because I did not want to pay the monthly rental fee) I used to see the following on the 5 LEDS: Power: GREEN DS: AMBER US: GREEN ONLINE: AMBER LINK: GREEN...

I'm having an issue with the local stations on my new DirecTV installation. I would guess that the locals are on the lowest satellite, and the dish can't see them well. I was very familiar with Dish installs when I had it, but have gotten out of the satellite loop, and really don't know much...

I have a new DirectTV installation (about 2 weeks old) and have an issue with the RVU-C31 Client Receiver. It seems to get into a remote repeat mode, where I press, for example, Down (once), and it keeps going down in the guide. Also, if I try and get to say Channel 213, it tries to go to...

If you configure the Genie to use an RF remote, does that deactivate the IR sensor? In other words, if you set up the Genie itself for RF, does that mean you can no longer use an IR remote on the unit? Thanks

If I set the Genie to display a lower video resolution on its associated display, will it record in low rez, or will it still record in 1080i/720p or whatever the source is? Thanks in advance

I have some old analog cctv cameras that I have connected to a Channel Plus Modulator that I currently can view on analog channels 89, 91, and 93. I just had a Genie system installed with one remote location. If I ordered one of the AM21's, could I connect my RF cable feed with these...

I had Dish for 10 years or so, from the 4000 reciever up to the 922, but left them when they dumped SNY and most local sports 2 years ago. Went to cable, and today dumped them (Charter) and am now a DirecTV guy! For the first time ever, I had the provider do the installation, and the guy who...

Sorry for my cluelessness, but I was a Dish subscriber for 10+ years, but switched back to cable when they dumped the NY Sports channels because sports are important in my house. I started out with the original Dish 4000/5000 receivers and went from there through all the bells and whistles...

Does anyone know if Charter has a DVR available that outputs 1080p? I asked via "chat" and they had no clue.

I just received a bill from DirectTV, a service which I have not had for at least 4 years. It says I owe $13.40 for a Tax adjustment. Is this legit? I tried to login to their website, but my account is obviously not good anymore. Is this some kind of scam or is it real? I didn't see anyone...

After 13 years of using Dish, I have returned to Cable, much to my dismay but being a NY sports fan, I really had no choice. Consequently, I no longer need my 722 so I figured I'd offer it here first before I put it on eBay. It's in perfect shape, I have "the box", it has 2 remotes that...

After 13 years of using Dish, I have returned to Cable, much to my dismay but being a NY sports fan, I really had no choice. Consequently, I no longer need my 922 so I figured I'd offer it here first before I put it on eBay. It's in perfect shape, I have "the box", it has 2 32.0 remotes...

Is there anything special that I have to do if I want to sell my two owned Dish DVRs. I seem to recall that I have to call and 'clear' them so that the new owner will not be stuck with any fees, but how do you prove that when you sell it? Do they give you a validation number or something? I...

I have a 922 and a 722. I usually use the 922, but the other day I was home sick and was watching the 722 and noticed the new On Demand section. It was pretty impressive, with a grid of different cable networks to select from and then the shows on that network. (I assume these shows when...

With my old "Silver Remotes", there was a way to control another Dish Receiver (via IR) using the [AUX] mode on the primary remote. However, with the new 922 remote, it seems there is no way to do this. What I want to do is have the 922 remote control a 722 when it is in AUX mode. Is this...

I started with Dish when I bought a 4000 receiver at a Costco, but I can't recall how long ago that was. If I look at my Dish account on their website, there appears to be no way to tell how old the account is. Does anyone remember when the 4000 was out and being sold at Costco? I also...

I have a PURCHASED 922 and a 722. Because I have these two receivers, I pay (like everyone) $27 a month for the privilege of using them. To me, this is totally ridiculous. I've had every Dish DVR from the time they were released and never had to pay these stupid fees, now I'm getting...

Guys, I have had a 1000.4 for a while now, since it first came out. Recently, I am having more and more rain fade, and my signal levels have sunk into the 30's and 40's. I think that maybe my dish got hit with a branch or something in a wind storm. No matter, I need to go up and tweak the...

I was thinking of getting an internet portable Wi-Fi radio, and have a few questions. I've seen a few of them on line, but can't find out how they exactly work. I mean, I figure that I connect them to my wireless router like any other network device, but how do you get stations? Do you...

I got a letter informing me that my installed Cable Card in my Pioneer Plasma would be "ineffective" after May 18, and I should pull it out and bring it down to swap it for a "free for a year" digital cable box. Of course, after that year, it will cost me $10 a month. They charge $6.40 for the...

I just got my 922 up and running. It needed some serious software updates before it worked, but they came through and now I'm on S101. However, I cannot get the remote controls to communicate, save for 1. I have a 722 receiver, and have the remote control codes set to '1' for that unit...

Not sure if I have the terminology correct, but for example, last Sunday: FOX had two games on, starting at 1pm. CBS had two games on, starting at 1pm. However, in most markets, the second CBS game (in my case, the Jets/Saints game), was not shown by the local CBS affiliate because FOX...

I have a Dish 722, and for some reason when I play back a recorded program I have to crank the volume on my TVs 3 to 4 times higher than when viewing live programming. Is this normal? Is there a setting or something to adjust this? THANKS
