I have scanned and gotten all the channels I want. One of them is a bit flaky in reception. If I re-point my antenna, is it best to rescan again in order to get a better signal for that channel? Hmmmm

I have noticed my Dish OTA usb dongle/tuner is not pulling in stations as well as it once did. I am using the same antenna hardware and checked connections. Is it possible that the tuner reception strength weakens over time? Is there another OTA USB tuner that does a better job than the one...

I am running a year 2015 "Hopper with Sling" using a dongle for OTA reception. I have noticed an increase in lost reception and lower reception values in the past 6 months. My question is; Is the OTA tuner built into the dongle, or is the dongle simply a security device which allows the user to...

Thinking of getting a Hopper with 2 Joeys. My questions are: Do you need a joey for each tv additional to the one hooked up to the Hopper? I understand you can record 8 programs simultaniously... is that in addition to the show bing watched? Is the "virtual joey" for PS4 free? and does it...

Currently have a 722 and a flakey 722k. Thinking of moving to a Hopper. My bill goes up $2 per month if I switch to one hopper two Joey's. (sound right?) The support person I spoke with on the phone was not at all knowledgeable about Dish Anywhere. As I understand it, if I get the Hopper I do...

I'm a bit confused, why do I have two sets of channels available for program? One set 0 to about 500, and another set in the 9,000 range? Sunday the AMC network was removed from somewhere around 130, my timer did not work but I was able to find and tape somewhere in the 9000's. Is it a...

Is it me, or is the Block Buster Movie Pass to Dish DVR user interface simply inept? Did I miss something that allows you to select content easily and set it up for viewing other than paging up and down a list of content while waiting for graphics to load? Netflix streaming allows you to easily...

I have two HD sets in the house and currently am driving one with a 622 and the other with a 722 in order to get full HD on both. After looking at my monthly charges below got any ideas how I can get two TVS with HD cheaper without removing showtime? HD120 $10 Americas Top 120 $39.99 HD Duo...

I have two antennas in my attic, hung one over the other. When I hooked them in parallel it seemed to decrease signal strength from some stations. I simply hooked them in tandem, with one having the little 75ohm? dohickey that hooks up to the main coax. Is it a bad idea to hook up two...

Here in Minneapolis, our public television station stopped using analog/uhf channel 17 to broadcast three channels and moved them to digital 2-x channels. So I re-do my locals over the air (dish does not provide all) and everything works fine except that the program guide is all ver-schminked...

How many external drives can you format and use with a 612 and or 722? I have one which works fine and when hooking up another it needs to re-format (expected) and then re-boot the DVR (unexpected) My fear is that the DVR will only sync or recognize the latest drive formated and thus render my...

I tried to search for this but found nothing. My 722 has stopped populating the program information. The slots say "no info available". The 622 in another location in the house is fine. The check switch and diagnostics all look ok. Anybody got a clue? Thanks, Mike

I have had a problem where when it gets a little windy, some stations get intermittent reception. They go off and come on etc. Anyway, the dish is on the roof of my garage and there is a black walnut tree above. The line of sight from the dish out does not seem to be interrupted by that tree...

So, I had a new HD dish installed late last fall, and we already had snow. The dish is installed on my garage, and the thick double cable at one point goes ariel over my patio. I want to bury a portion of it to get it out of sight. Anybody ever bury that stuff? Is there any way it could screw...

I have always wondered why the dvr's need to update themselves daily through the phone connection. Can't they get stuff over the sat connection? Not to stir up any conspiracy theories or anything, but,... does anybody know if they are pulling down TV channel viewing data or any demographics...

So, I go to hook up an external drive to my new 722, and get this activation message and phone number. I call and find out that there is a one time fee of $40.00 to activate an external drive for that DVR. I have a 622 in another part of the house and was hoping to migrate a recorded program...

I searched and searched for this answer thinking it must have been asked many times. But here goes anyway. I put a splitter on my antenna line to go 1. to my 722, (displays OTA in yellow and displays programming info after phone update) and 2 direct to my TV. This has decreased the signal...

I have attached my OTA Antenna to my new 722 and it works great. I like the fact that I get programming information in the antenna slots. What happens if the dish goes out? Do I still see and am I still able to access the antenna supplied signal through the 722? Mike

I bought a pair of Sony Bravia's two weeks ago and hooked em up to the same antenna I have used for twenty years in my attic. Shazam, they pulled in all the locals HD perfect. Boy was I happily surprised. The weather got warm (about 30 degrees F) and two of the stations began getting...

So here is how things went for me. First: upgraded my SD DVR running 2 SD tv's to two 622 dvr's to run two new Sony Bravia LCD's..(wanted to be able to run two and record also). The installer brought one 622 and a 722 because they were out of 622's (no extra charge for the 722) He used HDMI...

Getting a pair of 622's installed on Monday for two hd tv's in two different locations in the house. 1. Why is Dish offering a pair of 622's and not 222's? 2. Can you set a 622 on end instead of horizontal flat and not cause long term problems? 3. Also, I noticed that my current 625 will...

Just bought two Sony Bravia's and am getting the Dish HD upgrade. Getting two 622's. My questions are these: 1. I suspect the best IO is to use HDMI cables between the DVR's and each TV. Does the installer bring them or should I grab a couple before they arrive in order to avoid a coax hook...

What is the percent of HD channels being transmitted by D* in Mpeg4? All? some? sometimes? Thinking of getting D* for the PQ. Mike

I am planning to replace my two SD tv's with HD ones within a month. Currently paying $67.75 for Dish Top100 and Showtime. Below is what I can get from them: 1. 2 HD dvr's $99.99 each with rebate of $100.00 (no cost) 2. Rental for both boxes (one $5 and the other $6 per month) ..$11bucks a...
