    Dish Pause

    Has anyone done Dish Pause recently? I'm going to be trying out AT&T U-Verse, and am wondering what the real fees are. I was told in a chat with a CSR that it was only $5, even if I had HD receivers. I know in the past (about 1.5 years ago) when I was on pause, that I had to pay for an HD...

    Turn off tv with remote

    Is there anyway to turn off the satellite box (VIP722) and the television with the same button on the standard remote? I don't want to have to push TV power and the regular power. I also don't need a remote with macro's (I already have 4 harmony's but with this TV I want to use the standard...

    VIP 722 output question

    I currently have my 722 hooked up to my projector via HDMI (through a receiver). I want to add a 37-42 LCD/Plasma in my workout room, but don't want another box. If I just run component cables and rca cables for audio to this room, will I get output eventhough I have both HDMI/component...

    Downgrade Receivers?

    Can you downgrade a receiver for e* for no cost. Basically I'd want to take my 722, and get a 612, and then upgrade my 211 to a 612 so I can have 3 612's on my account.

    Disable VOD?

    Is it possible to disable VOD on the dish boxes. I don't really care about the hard drive space it takes up, but I don't like the fact that it's sucking up my bandwidth, and considering I never plan on renting any of the VOD stuff (I'll stick to BluRays on netflix), I don't need it downloaded...

    Locals not mapped down

    My local channels for my 612 (which I just added via Dishin' It Up) are not being down mapped, and I think this is why my OTA guide data isn't showing up. Locals on my 211 and 722 are being downmapped, and I have program data for OTA channels on these boxes. I did a DishMover (within the same...

    Help Me Improve my Signal

    I'm splitting my OTA signal 3 ways from my Silver Sensor mounted in my attic. One one of the split lines I get no dropouts on any of the main 4 networks. On the other two lines I get pretty good reception, but will have the occassional dropout. I'm looking for suggestions on better splitters to...

    Is it possible to receive Dish Network programming with a DirecTV dish? My dad currently has a DirecTV dish installed at his vacation home (no current programming), but was wondering if he had Dish Network installed at his regular home, if he'd be able to bring his boxes to the vacation house...

    HOA Question

    I have a quick question about what a HOA can/cannot do. I'm moving into my new house next week, where we are supposed to get Dish placement approved, but this can take up to two weeks (because the developer, who has final say on things like this only meet every two weeks), and you can usually...

    What switch?

    I'm doing DishMover at the end of the month and will be adding a 612 to go along with my 722 and 211. Unfortunately I wasn't able to add another 722 because I would be over 4 tuners. Anyways, I want to still use the Dish Seperator with the 722, so what switch will the tech need to install? I...

    Vip 722/211 Ota

    Does anyone know if the OTA tuners on the VIP 722 and/or 211 will work if you are on DISH Pause? I'll be needing to pause my DISH account soon, but was wondering if I'd be able to still watch OTA using the hardware that I have.

    Sirius and Dish

    I used the Cable Distribution Kit for Sirius for some time now, but I recently switched from TWC to Dish Network, so my kit no longer works. I know there is a Sirius DBS distribution kit, but I don't need the antenna or SMB-> F connector adapter, so does anyone know what kind of diplexers...

    722 favorites bug?

    Yesterday I created a "Sports" favorites list, added a bunch of channels that I wanted to be able to flip through quickly. When I was done with this list, I cleared it. Right after I cleared it, I hit guide, I then received an error message saying something to the effect of being unable to...

    I recieve 7-1 via OTA, and 7-0 over Sat. Is there anyway I can make my VIP722 to automatically go to 7-1 when i type in '7' on the remote (without locking 7-0). Kind of like when i hit 140 I automatically get ESPNHD and not ESPN.

    Programming Access Fee and Ethernet

    I had Dish Network installed yesterday. Why my first impressions are very positive, I'm a little confused about the $5 programming access fee that i'm seeing on my online statement. I was under the impression that if I had ethernet hooked up to my VIP722 that I would not be charged this fee...
