To: D.I.R.T member: I have been a Dish customer since about 2005. I currently have a 622 on its last legs (3 or 4 daily spontaneous reboots) and 2 211's. I am interested in upgrading to a Hopper and 2 Joeys (possibly a Sling). What are my options/costs vs. current configuration? I currently...

Before yesterday, my setup was a Dish 500 on 61.5 and a Dish 1000 on 110, 119 and 129. About a month ago I started losing some HD channels sporadically. in the last 2 weeks I lost them completely. System info showed that 129 was out. Called Dish - the tech said the reason I lost 129 was a...

I was getting a "complete signal loss" message on all receivers for certain channels. Also, I could only get about 2 or 3 hours of the program guide. I have a 2-dish setup (61.5 on a Dish 500 and 110, 119 and 129 on a Dish 1000). "System Info" showed that 119 and 129 were dead. I checked and...

Had a 622 recording of a 2-hour movie set up for 2:00 AM. Next morning saw that ~15 minutes into the recording it was "stopped by user 1". I was asleep at the time, so it wasn't me, and there was no else in the house. Is this a bug or is the hard drive getting ready to die? (Tried to search...

Twice in the last week my 622 running L627 has displayed odd behavior. On both occasions, a program was in the process of recording with the TV set off. When I turned on the TV, the program that was recording did not display audio or video but did display closed caption info. Program guide was...

Is there a list of which channels are transmitted from each Dish satellite?

1) I have a vip 622. I can receive most of my local channels (except Channel 12, the local [Richmond, VA] NBC affiliate) using a "Stealth" OTA antenna left over from my VOOM days. (Richmond, VA is not on the list for the "free" OTA antenna supplied by E*) 2) From the LOCAL CHANNELS menu...

Got the call from "Sal" of Dish Network on Thursday July 6. He offered to upgrade my 942 to a VIP 622 and told me that first available install was Sunday July 9 from 12-5 PM! Looked like the monthly cost would be the almost same as I was paying before and with the rebate there would be no net...

I can't figure out how to label a local channel received on an 811 from the satellite (not OTA)with a 2-digit number in place of the Dish 4-digit number. I have searched the Dish forums and the manual. I would appreciate any help.

To enable or disable close captioning takes 7 or 8 keystrokes on the 942 remote. Is there a way to create a "shortcut" or "macro" that would do this (or other complex actions) in one or 2 keystrokes?

Is it possible to receive VOOM HD channels on a Dish 500?

I was having difficulty with HD channels ( continuously trying to acquire satellite signal, very long waits (> 1 minute ) to change channels, and general misbehavior. So, I ran the Check Switch test from the Point Dish screen. This solved the misbehavior issues but now I notice all my VOOM...

SETUP: 942 DVR, Samsung DLP HDTV Lets say I'm watching Channel X when a previously requested Dish Pass Timer for channel Y begins recording. Is the displayed program on the TV supposed to switch to channel Y or remain on Channel X? What is happening is that the displayed channel switches to...

Today I lost 2 OTA channels, even though both are showing more than adequate signal stregth and SNR's. Booted the STB , no change. Called Voom - CSR said he thought I might have "too much" signal, which is clearly not the case since I am receiving another OTA with the same nominal levels with no...
