    Hopper 3 and Dish Anywhere

    I have a VIP722K with a Sling Adapter. I understand how this works, the Sling Adapter uses tuner 2 in the 722. If a timer starts a recording on tuner 2 or someone at the house is using tuner 2 to watch live tv you lose control with DA. Since the Hopper 3 has 16 tuners and built in Sling is it...

    VIP 211 DVR activation fee

    I understand I can add an EHD to my VIP 211 and with a onetime activation fee of $50 give it DVR capabilities. If I read right this onetime fee is good of all 211's in my house. Question, if I add a Wally to the mix would it be covered by the onetime activation fee or would I need an additional...

    Wally Questions

    I have some questions about the Wall. 1) Does the Wally have the same UI as the Hopper 3? 2) Can I connect a Wally where I currently have a VIP 211K installed? 3) Will Dish allow two Wallys on the same account with a Hopper 3? 4) The Dish website indicates that the Wally supports...

    VIP 211K Question

    I'm confused about the descriptions for the 211K on some web sites, The descriptions indicate that to receive OTA channels an adapter is needed. Pictures of the back of a 211K appears that the OTA tuner is built in. Does the 211K require an OTA adapter or not? If an adapter is required is it...

    State/ocal Tax

    I live in Nevada and have never had a tax on my Dish bill. In the last month I replaced one of my 508 DVRs with a 722K. My next bill is now showing a $1.00 State/Local Tax. I chated with a CSR and was told that it was because I now had a DVR fee due to the 722K. This sounds bogus to me. Has...

    I live in a motorhome and connect to the internet through Hughsnet. I am planning on replacing my two 508 DVRs with either a VIP 722K or VIP 222K and would like to connect the new receiver to the internet. Does anyone have experience with connecting a VIP receiver to the internet through a...

    508 lost all its timers

    I have two 508 DVRs. Yesterday (9/30/10) one of them lost all its timers. I re-entered them and it seems to be OK now. Has anyone had this happen? Is there a known cause?

    VIP 722k vs 222K/EHD

    I currently have two 508 DVRs and plan on up grading so I can receive HD. It looks like it would be cheaper to buy a VIP 222K with an EHD instead of a VIP 722K. If I go this route do I loose any function that I would have with the 722K?

    508 DVR UHF Remote Problem

    We used to live in a double-wide moble home about 60 ft. long. We had two 508 DVRs in the front room and could control them via the UHF remotes in the bed room at the other end of the double-wide. It had to pass through three walls and worked just fine. We also had a 2400Mhz. cordless phone...

    To paint or not to paint

    Hi folks. I'm new to the forum and have what may be a dumb question. I thought it would be better to ask before I did something I regreated. I am removing a Dish 300 and Dish 500 from our old home to use on a tripod with our motorhome which we will be fulltiming in in about 6 mos. The 300...
