    Best(i.e. cheapest) way to have 6 TV DVR service now?

    I had Dish for years. Finally bailed due to their excessive extra box fees(722s, I think). But, I hate Charter(already knew I did and would), more. I know that even though they had the glorious Hopper, years ago, when I set up service at our new house, I opted for regular receivers. I...

    Not getting equal space back when deleting DVR recordings

    I've Googled this, and get zippo.....not even sure how I'd search for it here...but I've noticed for a long time, when I delete recordings....I admit only HD, as that's the portion of the DVR that's seemingly always strapped for space.....I get maybe 2/3 space returned....maybe less. In other...

    Is there way to keep my 622 DVR content.....

    Forgive if this is a question long ago answered. But, moving, and I'm thinking putting the Dish service in my fiance's name at the new house would net us a better deal....rather than the Dish Moving service.....don't like the amount I'm paying these days. However, I certainly would like to...

    Is there still a market for sw 44 multiswitch kits?

    Been so long now, can't remember why I stupidly bought this off Ebay, but I never used it(it's stuck somewhere in my vague memory from like 6 years ago). Moved, and it got hidden away in a box. Have a SW 44, Inverter and another box looks like power supply, etc. Never taken out of boxes, let...

    Dish Anyhwere problems loading, anyone else?

    I've only tried this twice, when on vacations....last year, and again this last weekend. Both times, it hangs up forever, when loading my box/DVR. I just give up, after like a half hour of this. So, basically, it's useless to me. I see others loving it, so wondered, what the heck?

    What happened to non-HD channels on main HD TV?

    Dish always had both the HD and non HD channels. All the non HD channels disappeared off my main, HD, TV, oh....maybe a month ago....Most important to me was the Weather Channel, as historically, one of the biggest drawbacks for Dish/DTV was no Locals on the 8 on TWC. However, Dish's...

    On top of no CBS HD in Grand Rapids, CBS is unwatchable today!

    Unbelievable....utterly unfreakingbelievable. Possibly the biggest day for CBS viewing, and it's been unwatchable since I got home an hour ago. Not sure if it's due to the number of people viewing, or what, but it's freezing, slowing, going to a pink screen, losing sound. I called and got...

    What is the deal with local CBS HD in Grand Rapids, Michigan?

    Still no HD on the local CBS affiliate. This is becoming ridiculous, in the middle of football season. It'll probably still be like this come NCAA bball tourney time. I know CBS had a pissing match with Comcast, too, that took two years. I'm getting a deja vu feeling all over again.

    Can DVR recordings disappear?

    I was chagrined to find out a few things I had DVR'd were gone. Now, granted I do have a 6 year old who's learned the art of DVRing, but, I have my doubts he went through all the steps to purposely, or accidentally, delete my recordings. So, is it possible for things to disappear? And, how...

    HD Locals sticky?

    Unless I'm missing something, or going blind, wasn't there a sticky, just recently on Dish announcing a whole bunch more HD locals? I'm in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan, and that was one listed. Last I knew, we did not have ours yet, and I was told it would be in May. That was a good...

    722 freezing up

    A recent problem has occured where my 722 DVR freezes up, when watching normal live TV. The receiver then makes a quite load noise, and, eventually, recovers. I believe it goes right back to live TV. This has happened three times in the last week. Sounds like something might be seriously...

    Voom programming guide not correct

    I've read of all the Voom issues. I'd also known that Dish's listed programming was not correct, awhile back. It was that way again last night. I searched here, but haven't seen any discussion of this. What's going on? Any updates? I thought this was fixed, albeit with pretty poor Voom...

    DVR recording issues

    I sscheduled various shows to be DVRd(Mad Men, Tin Man, etc). Awhile later, I go in and there some of those shows are, only with recording times like 0:01(twice), for an hour long show. Others were also only partial records, it appeared. I checked out the 0:01 episodes for Mad Men. The...

    Call out to West Michiganders....Fox Sports Network Plus?

    Today, the Michigan High School Football Playoffs were on Fox Sports Detroit. The last game, involving a local school, had to be shifted to their "Plus" station, due to a Red Wings game. I'd seen this before, with Comcast, and it knew what channel it was usually on. But, what about with Dish...

    A few questions after a few weeks of Dish

    First off, can anyone clue me in on channels 5470 through 5490, or so. Doing this off memory, as I'm not able to check my HD/DVR right now. Last night, I was searching for a flick, and saw Ran on a channel called World, on, I believe 5478. Cool! Well, the channel worked, but it sure wasn't...

    Dual tuner DVR/HD DVR questions

    Still awaiting hookup, and trying to figure out what I want/need, as far as receivers. One question I'm still not solid on is, if you have a dual DVR, do both TVs hooked up get DVR ability? I doubt that, but it seems that's how they try to sell it. And, what about HD duals? Does the second...
