Hi All, I have a Hopper w/ built in Sling and a Super Joey. For about the last 3 weeks, I have noticed that tuners 3 & 4 continue to show "Acquiring Data" and only tuners 1,2 & 5 work. Thus we are butting heads trying to watch programs and record with only 3 working tuners. I have tried...

I recently purchased a Hopper & Joey and also a sling adapter. I am wondering if the receiver must always stay on in order to connect to the sling via dishonline.com? Reason I ask, is I have the inactivity set to automatically turn off the receiver after a few hours of inactivity. If I try to...

I hope this is the place for this. I currently have 2 Vip722 (not the K) receivers. They are leased. I am looking for ways to trim my bill. I noticed I am paying a $17 HD Duo (2TV) DVR Receiver fee and a $6 DVR fee. I assume that is for the 2nd Vip722. Now, the way we have our setup...

I currently have a 1000.2 dish pointed to 110, 119 & 129. My local HD's (South Bend, IN.) are showing up on 61.5 (WNDU-HD). I contaced Dishnetwork via support chat today and got an "Advanced Tech Support" person. I explained to him that I was interested in getting my local HD's, but...

Ok, I have been a Dish user since 1997. I just had my Dish 500 system upgraded to a Dish 1000 and I now have 2 shiney new vip 722 receivers. It appears my locals for HD will be on 61.5 (South Bend, Indiana). Currently my locals in SD are on 119. Once the switch is turned on for my locals to...

Ok, I am getting HD upgraded in a couple weeks. My current dish is a Dish 500 pointed at 110 and 119. With my upgrade to HD, I am supposed to get a new dish installed. I assume a 1000.2?? Anyway, It looks like my local HD's (South Bend, IN 46628) are not up yet, but according to the EKB...

Ok, I have a 721 receiver and a single cable that runs from the LNB to a DPPro Separator and that plugs into the tuner 1 & 2 inputs on my receiver. I am going to upgrade my receiver to the VIP722 and HD programming. Does the 722 do the same (I know a new dish will be installed for HD...

I am looking into upgrading my programming to include HD. I currently have a 721. I used to have a 6000 prior to that and I was able to hook an OTA antenna to that and I was able to have my locals show up in the program guide. If I hook up an OTA antenna to the vip722, will locals show up on...

I have been thinking about getting a HD package and currently I have the 721 and 301 receivers. I see dish offers the Dish'n it up upgrades. If I do that, does dish require me to send in my 721 and 301 receivers even though I own those? Would it be better for me to purchase my own 722 (can...

Ok, I have looked at the HD absolute pack at dishnetwork.com. Neither is listed. Are they included? I currently have the AT250 and that has CSN Chicago and WGN, but just got a HD TV and want to change my programming to only have the Dish Absolute. Will I get those 2 channels? Also, is...

Are there any plans for Dish to add Fox Business Network? Thanks Dan

Does DishNetwork consider the 721 and 522 as 1 receiver each even though they have 2 tuners?

I have a Super Dish setup with a DP34 switch, a Dish 3900 Receiver and a PVR721 receiver that is my home setup. I have my old Dish 500 dish and LNBs (119/110) and I want to take that camping with me using my 3900 receiver. I have a SW21 switch and I found that the 3900 receiver does not...

If I order PPV using my 721, will my other 2 receivers be able to view the show?

I currently have a DVR 721 and it is the 3rd one I have had due to hardware issues and Dish swapping it (while under warranty). Now it is no longer under warranty and it is beginning to act up again and I am considering just going with a new receiver. What is being offered now with similar...

I read this on the Retailer Chat notes...Is this available to purchase? If so from where? and will it work with my 721? I need a new remote for my 721 (battery door latch broke). Thanks

I want to purchase a Satellite Signal Finder to take camping with me. But I also want to use it on my home system to tune it up. I have a superdish with locals at home so it needs to work with that for 105, 110 & 119. For Camping, I will just use my old Dish 500 dish with 110 & 119. What...

I have had my 721 since September. When I received it new, it would not work out of the box and Dish swapped it. On this swap unit, since the beginning of December, I have noticed about every 2 weeks, when I power it on in the morning (it is set to auto turn off after 4 hours of inactivity), I...

I would Like to purchase a signal strength meter to take camping. I have a S.D. for home, but when we camp, I take my Dish 500 dish. The S.D. is to big to pack for caming! I find that tuning in even 119 and 110 can be tough in some areas we camp. I am wondering if a signal meter might help...

If you had the option of getting either the DVR/PVR 721 or the DVR 522, which one would you rather have and why?

Since the DVR 721 has 2 tuners, do I need to run 2 inputs from my sat dish? I currently have 2 receivers a Model 3900 and a Model 5000. The plan is to replace the Model 5000. I have a SuperDish with a DP34 switch. Does Dish Charge 2 receiver connections for the 721? I still will want to...

What is Spotbeam vs Transponder on my signal strength? When I aim the dish, should I set my transponder to a specific one?

Ok, have been reading the thread about the 522 problems and am ready to purchase. I have to buy a new receiver due to a problem with my model 5000 and super dish/locals. Dish tech dept put a note on my acct that I can buy a 522 and have it activated. My current 2nd receiver is a model 3900...
