    Still have DNS and Locals?

    I called in the other day to (finally) turn on the HD pack and CBS-HD (which took 2 calls and 5 people to enable!). The CSR ran thru my account and mentioned my ABC and CBS waivers... I didn't say anything, but apparently they are on my account. Noticed I've since lost NBC-E but everything...

    721 Guide problem

    Ok, this one has me stumped. I have a Dishnetwork 721 connected via svideo to a Sony STR-DE3000ES receiver (this receiver upconverts svideo to component). The sony is connected to a Mitsubishi big screen via component. Everything works fine *except* the 721 guide screen. When I hit the...

    Upgrade Procedures for the 522?

    Last time I needed an update they told me to make sure I tuned to specific channel (I think it as 119) and then turn it off. It got the update pretty quickly. Scott, that channel # ring a bell? (I suspect it was to make sure at least one tuner was looking at a specific sat). Tech support...

    Vacation rental programs / policies

    These are rental homes (a business) not my personal vacation home. Even if that where an option, I'm talking about 4 receivers per house. I already have 5 on my account (and the limit is 6). I'm just trying to figure out the best way (most cost effective) to setup these otehr two homes (and...

    Vacation rental programs / policies

    Gang, Couldn't find anything (obvious) on Dish's site. I have two vacation rental homes I am setting up and would like to (possibly) have Dish service up and running for guests. I'm thinking Top 100, locals, and HBO. Does Dish have any multi-home plans (or do I just need one new account...

    522 on dish site, but....

    Just go to your local dealer and have them order you one. I got two 522's a few weeks ago by just walking in and asking for them. I plan on letting the same place order me a 921 tomorrow. Bill

    How can we use any DVI with DVI-less Mits's (and others)

    The 921 (at least, haven't checked the 811) has HD componet (Y Pb Pr) video outputs. That is what my 1999 Mitsubishi HD projection has for inputs. My understanding is that I should just be able to use those connections. Do you also have those (or am I missing something)? Bill

    EXCLUSIVE - DishPlayer DVR 522 Review!

    Some people would clearly like the primary tuner to be UHF so they can treat this as a whole house server (maybe even hide it in the closet). That said, the main purpose of this box is to eliminate the second receiver a person would normally need to get in order to setup a two tv house. For...

    EXCLUSIVE - DishPlayer DVR 522 Review!

    Stargazer, I just don't follow your logic. Why would 'a LOT more' people want UHF on tuner 1 than want the channel modulator? If you want a true dual tuner, you can buy a 721 or 921 (well, eventually a 921). Confused, Bill

    Got L116 Last Night - Lost All Programs on HDD Today

    Same here. We thought it was a 721 glitch, Dish support (of course) said they never heard if it before. I guess it was tied to 116. We lost about 80 hours of stuff (wife is rather unpleased ;)) Bill

    Help - Where is the DVR522

    This isn't true. I walked into my local dealer last night, he told me he expected the 522's today. He called today after they arrived, I picked up the two he received and activated them tonight no problem (I'm not on the DHP) Bill

    Got my 522's tonight

    Picked up my 2 522's tonight (to replace a seldom used 721 in my office and the 508 in the MasterBedroom plus let me run to some new aux locations now ;)) Noticed a couple of things. The manual talks about the modulator being MONO not STEREO. However, the signal does appear to be a stereo...

    Vacation home rules

    Hi, I've seen alot of conflicting informaiton about what DishNetwork does and does not allow for owners of vacation homes (as I just purchased one, I'm trying to figure this out). My primary residence has 4 receivers (2 721's and 2 508's). In an ideal world I would like to add 2 more...
