    UHF remote not working

    Hello, hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I performed a cursory search on this site and was not able to find any similar issues. My parents have a ViP 722k receiver. They have two TVs in their house linked to their DVR. The primary TV and receiver are downstairs and the downstairs...

    Hopper w/ Sling: recording playback behaving oddly

    Hello, friends! I have a HWS (software version: S544). I have had this receiver since Sept 2013 with no issues. In the last few months while watching a pre-recorded program, the picture will begin to pixelate and then the program will skip to the end. This does not occur all the time but...

    Scam call or legit?

    I received a call tonight from someone stating that they were from Dish Network. The caller ID displayed "Dish Purch Corp" from (800) 333-3474 (which is being spoofed because when I went back through my caller ID history a local number is now depicted). He proceeded read a statement that my...

    Hopper w/ Sling randomly rebooting

    The title is self-explanatory. My once trusty Hopper w/ Sling has rebooted 4 times this week. It has rebooted on its own in the past but not with this frequency. Is this behavior indicative of the hard drive going bad? Is there anything I can do on my end to diagnose this behavior before...

    Odd behavior with remote

    Hello everyone, The remote paired with my Joey is turning off my TV (Vizio E420i-B0) when I am using functions related to Joey (eg. fast-forward, DVR, skip, etc). I installed a fresh set of batteries but the behavior is still evident. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

    Vonage, Caller ID, and the Hopper

    Tried searching the forum but was not able to find an answer. I am thinking of dropping my land line and signing up with Vonage. My Hopper w/Sling is connected to the home network. Will caller ID still display if I disconnect the phone line from the unit. If not, is there a way to allow...

    EPG navigation

    Is it possible to jump/skip to certain dates on the EPG with the Hopper w/ Sling? I swear that the hopper commercial states that this is possible...but I can never find how to do it. Thanks.

    How to determine unused satellite dish?

    How can I determine which satellite dish on my house is no longer in use? I have 3 satellite dishes and I believe we are only using 2 of them. Would I have to go on a ladder and disconnect cabling and see which channels go black? Is there an option in the menu that would state which dishes...

    Bluetooth headphones question

    Hello, can I use Bluetooth headphones with one of my Joey receivers? I was not sure if Bluetooth headphones can only be paired with the Hopper. Thanks!

    ViP 622 making noises

    Hi everyone, My ViP 622 is making an audible hissing noise. It's driving me crazy because the unit is located in my bedroom. I suspect that the hard drive is on its last leg. Is that a correct assumption? I rebooted it a couple of times and the sound is still there. The unit is 5 1/2 years...

    Wierd reboot occurance of my 622...

    Has anyone ever experienced their Vip 622 rebooting when a phone call is received on their landline? I have experienced this only 2-3 times since I had this particular refurb (~2 years). As soon as I receive a phone call, the screen goes to black. It is not bothersome to a point where I am...

    Only half of programming is being recorded on my 622...

    Hello, Recently, we have been noticing that only half of a program is being recorded on our VIP 622. For example, if I record a 1-hr show then I only obtain 20-30 minutes of that show. This does not happen frequently but enough to be an annoyance. This happens regardless the time of day...so...

    problems with DVR 510 phone connection

    I recently purchased a DVR 510 though Dish Network's "Dishin' it up like new" promotion to use as a second receiver. I purchased a wireless phone jack (RCA RC930) so I can be able to view the caller ID option when watching programming. But when the DVR 510 is hooked up to it I hear a clicking...

    Hi! Tonight my signal from 61.5 is not coming in. I have a ViP622 receiver and 1000.2 dish. Did a check switch and shows all my other satellite locations coming in but not 61.5. Rebooted the receiver and ran check switch and still no luck. Called tech support and they had me perform the...
