    When your purchased receivers aren't your property

    New equipment shows Leased as it should. The executive person said it would be taken care of and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want me calling back. :)

    When your purchased receivers aren't your property

    Had one of our 622s start to fail so decided to upgrade to HWS and 3 Joeys. We purchased all of our receivers from one of the online retailers here, think it was Dish Depot. Two 622s and one 211. Already sold the 211 to one of our satellite guys here. Matt (DIRT) did a great job as he...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    How about, Shouldn't Dish be proactive enough to make sure their new products have at least all of the basic functions that their previous products? It's not like OTA was just invented.

    Dish is AGAIN saying my purchased reciever is leased!!

    I posted my point of view because I am having the same issue. I have 2 622s that the HDMI port never worked from day one. Just used Component. Have 2 new TVs so wanted to hook them up via HDMI. Used the Chat feature (so I had a record of the conversation) and jumped through several hoops...

    Dish is AGAIN saying my purchased reciever is leased!!

    No one should have to PROVE that they own a receiver. Dish should have the burden of proof. If I am leasing a piece of equipment there will be a contract Dish can refer to.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Pretty much all of the existing USB tuners are ATSC/QAM so the chipsets are readily available so what extra money? I assume there are others in areas where OTA is difficult to recieve.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Why is Dish so paranoid about having QAM also with any of their tuners? I have Internet with Cox and get locals and public channels in the clear. Here in San Diego with the mountains it is much easier to get locals via QAM than OTA.

    Anyone need remotes for a 722k or a 211k?

    We could put them to good use. I have a FedEx account we could use for shipping.

    Why does Dish carry the sd version of locals when HD version is available?

    In the future when everyone has MPEG4 receivers that will be possible.

    continuous channel signal loss on 129

    Press the Menu button then 6, 1 and then 3. It may be LNB drift on 129. After it runs the tests you should get a green Good at the top of the screen and 3 green boxes under 110 119 and 129. If you get a message telling you to press the Details button and the 129 box isn't green they most...

    CES - DISH Sling Receiver

    One thing I really dislike about this solution is the delay in the video. Using the remote is really annoying. Don't get me wrong I think Slingbox is great, but not for regular daily use.

    DISH NETWORK® INTRODUCES DISCOVERY KIDS EN ESPAÑOL AND DISCOVERY FAMILIA

    Often times people who aren't on the receiving end of racist comments don't recognize them for what they are. It seems as though the people who the comment was directed at took offense, the comment was based on a particular race so the comment is in fact racist. I'm a white guy and I was...

    DISH NETWORK® INTRODUCES DISCOVERY KIDS EN ESPAÑOL AND DISCOVERY FAMILIA

    I agree. Anyone who thinks this is in any way acceptable deserves to get schooled on the subject. In addition, any business person who would post such an offensive remark in a public forum probably thinks it is the norm to make such mean spirited comments.

    dish disabled 2 reciever

    I think this is rich that the corporation that steals another company's technology (TIVO) is constantly harassing people who send them checks over something that could best be described as a grey area. Although I am sure that it is probably a threat to national security if Canadians start...

    722 and component output to SD tv

    Try it with a lower resolution. Your TV may not like 1080i. Is the DVD player putting out 1080i or the more likely 480p?
