    Does Dish Anywhere ever work properly?

    I have such a love/hate relationship with the Sling Adapter on the Hopper...unfortunately, mostly hate. I had a Slingbox Solo for years before coming over to Dish and getting the Sling Adapter with the Hopper. I figured the slim design and HD capability of the Sling Adapter would be worth...

    Can I swap H/J locations?

    For a myriad of different reasons, I was wondering if it is possible to swap the locations of my Hopper and Joey. The Hopper is currently in the living room and the Joey is in the bedroom. I would like to reverse that. Since I am ignorant of the install details and requirements, is there...

    Network connection stopped working

    I have a 1H/1J setup that receives Internet connectivity via HIC. My wife has been reading Game of Thrones and decided she wanted to start watching the show on HBO. So, I demonstrated how On Demand works and played a short sample of an episode of the show to show her that it worked. Fast forward...

    So, where is the bluetooth?

    I've been wondering this for a while, but haven't asked the question as the lack of discussion on the topic leads me to believe I'm one of the few who care about this feature. I was excited when the CSR informed me of the Hopper's Bluetooth audio capability when I switched back a few months ago...

    No audio from Joey via HDMI?

    After my install on Tuesday, I realized the installer hooked up the Joey in my bedroom via RCA instead of HDMI. After being perplexed at why he would have done this, I hooked it up via HDMI. Picture comes through beautifully, but I get no audio. After checking audio settings with no improvement...

    I missed this place!

    Coming back to Dish after 2 years w/D*. Install happening as we speak. 1 Hopper/1 Joey, hopefully via HIC and also got a Sling adapter. Little worried about the problems I've been seeing with connectivity and freezing issues, but hoping for the best. Installer is giving me a hard time on the HIC...

    HR23 HD signal problems

    Hey guys...for the past couple weeks I've been having some signal problems on my HR23 DVR. Certain HD channels have extreme signal breakup making those channels unwatchable. Some HD channels are completely fine, like FoxNews....others, like TLCHD, SCIHD and more have issues. SD versions of these...

    I'm coming over!

    Well, after years of being an E* subscriber and hanging around the E* forum, I finally made the switch tonight after lots of deliberation. After another year of struggling with the poor quality and functionality of MLB.TV, I just couldn't go another season without MLB Extra Innings. But the...

    Any progress between MLB and E*?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard anything regarding the possibility of any movement between MLB and E* regarding MLB EI and/or MLB Network for 2010? I suspect I know the answer, and you don't need to tell me all your reasons why E* shouldn't offer it...just curious if anything has progressed.

    Is there no way to order PPV or manage account through ethernet connection?

    Hey, I have a 722k, and a 211k. I have no phone line, just high speed internet. I have both boxes connected via the ethernet connection. As I have found, I am not able to order PPV or manage my account through the box. Do you really HAVE to utilize a phone line to use those services, or is there...

    Dish Mover - Help negotiating on a move.

    Alright, so I'm moving out of my apartment and into a new home at the end of the month. I was absolutely going to make the switch to D* so I could receive MLBEI...but after reading about D*'s lack of keeping up with new HD and the prospects of them not getting much better on that front, I am...

    Are Local HD additions exclusively on Wednesdays?

    Simple question here. Are additions of new Local HD Markets made available exclusively on Wednesday's by Dish, or is it a crap shoot, and that Wednesdays have been the trend here lately?

    DHA Lease Fee?

    Hey, I just got to take a look at my new & improved higher bill from Dish. Went up $9 a month. The one thing that is different that I'm confused about is the addition of a $7 a month DHA Lease Fee. What is that? I live in an MDU, so I have to purchase my boxes through my local retailer and I...

    Fox News Problems anyone?

    Yesterday afternoon and evening while I was home, I was watching Fox News and the receiver every few minutes or so would pop up with the message the signal had been lost to Fox News, just like a rain-out or whatever. The weird thing, is as soon as I hit the "Guide" button, it would go right back...

    411 EHD???

    Has anyone been able to activate an EHD on a VIP 411 yet? I know as of a few weeks ago, E* still wasn't ready to activate them. Just looking to see if anyone has had success with the 411 yet. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

    LNB Drift

    I was running through diagnostics on my 211 receiver and got a message that said I have an "LNB Drift" on Sat. 129. I'm not having any problems with reception, but do notice the signal meter is much lower than 110 or 119. Is this anything I need to be concerned about?

    My 211 DVR function is activated

    I called Dish Network this evening to check on the exact time the DVR function would become available to 211's(i.e. midnight on the 19th, 9am on the 19th). After holding for about 10 minutes she came back and said the service is "available now". So I told her to go ahead and activate it. After...
