    Format button not working on SD channels on my Hopper with Sling and Joey

    Will this update be coming this year? I just changed from a regular hopper to one with sling and this is a problem. On the standard Hopper you could change the format on SD channels and it would stick for that channel. The crazy thing here is if you tune in an SD channel and press format a...

    New Upgrade Prices for Hopper w/ Sling

    I didn't read through all the posts in this thread but I thought I would call dish and check on an upgrade from my hopper with external sling to the new hopper and I was told it was $100. Are there any promotions or anything to get this waved?

    Returning leased equipment

    I just shut down one of my receivers and it took about two weeks and three calls to get the box. It seemed to take longer than necessary to just send a box.

    922 Question

    So the wireless piece is simply for transmitting to the wireless monitor not for joining to your network wirelessly?

    922 Question

    Am I reading correctly that the 922 will have 2 OTA tuners and wireless to connect to your network? If so, will these be separate modules you will have to purchase and add on or will they come standard?

    For 200 and the commit I might think about it but for 900 they can have it and I can explore other options....

    922 Release Thought

    So, when this is introduced in June how hard is going to be to get one given the likely demand? Will it be easier to get one as a new customer, a current in contract customer, or a current out of contract customer? I have been anxious to trade the 622 in on one of these and I'm happy there is...

    HD Station Number Question

    Pardon my ignorance, but it seems there are two listings for HD channels in the guide. One is typically something that makes sense like 42 and the other is like in the 9000 range. Is this the exact same feed or is one more reliable?

    Old episodes recording as new

    I went back and checked Celebrity Apprentice and it seems to have straightened out ATM. I guess I will just keep an eye on it. I don't know if the time change had anything to do with it.

    Local Fox problem

    My service is almost perfect except for HD locals. If they were at least as reliable as the rest of the stations I would be pretty happy. I had SD for years with no issues and really don't have many HD issues other than locals.

    Old episodes recording as new

    I think I may have seen this some time back but I can't seem to find the post. Anyway, I am starting to have issues with shows set to record new episodes recording all episodes. This has happened with both Americas' Best Dance Crew and Celebrity Apprentice so far. I am using a 622 receiver...

    Cant skip certain commercials on my vip622

    Unless by live you mean a show that you have paused. I haven't noticed it and I have a 622. If you have a specific example I can watch for the commercial.

    Can Anyone Explain (locals)

    Can you send me a copy of the email you sent? I just need to figure out how to word this so that they understand what I am talking about. Are you using a 622, just curious if that might be a factor. I don't think it is but I don't know enough to be sure.

    Can Anyone Explain (locals)

    Here is another strange piece of the puzzle. When I get an error stating the satellite has lost the signal and it is looking if I press the guide button it comes back on immediately. I close the guide and a few minutes later gone again. Press the guide button and it's back (you get the...

    Can Anyone Explain (locals)

    I did the same procedure using 119 and 9 and it hovers around 59-60 signal strength. I don't know if I am on the wrong sat or what. If anyone can advise what I can say to a CSR that will make sense to them and get this resolved that would be most awesome.

    Can Anyone Explain (locals)

    Ok, I looked at this and it has a 75 signal strength but it's red, screaming at me, and says wrong sat - echostar 119 west.

    Can Anyone Explain (locals)

    I will check to see what that looks like today. The OTA HD locals are great. I wasn't thinking it could be hardware due to the fact no other HD channels have issues only the locals. I will report back on what the signal looks like.

    Can Anyone Explain (locals)

    Can anyone offer me a real explanation as to why my HD locals have a LOT of issues. The recording is crap, or the station comes and goes with the infamous we know about this problem message. I have zero problems with any of my HD channels except for the locals. It might be one channel one day...

    Fox 6 HD in Birmingham AL

    I am completely put out by the performance of HD locals from Dish. I am in the Birmingham market and the HD locals have had one problem or another for months now. I don't know if it is just me or what but the customer reps always walk me through the same dog and pony show and it never sticks...

    NBC OTA HD skips/jitters when NOT viewed Live (vip612 & vip722)

    I've done all that too many times to count to no avail. It would seem weird to be the station since it works fine if your watching live.
