    Sling Adapters Issue

    On the Dish online site I click on reconnect(not refresh-sorry) It won't reconnect and gives a message that it cannot connect. I just went to the site, hit refresh several times and now it works on my Droid. This is weird, it didn't work doing this earlier today. I has already resset...

    Sling Adapters Issue

    I took advantage of the sling adapter rebate. I installed it and got it to work on the internet. I had to reisntall the droid app to get it to work there. Now, I can't connect on the net or the droid. I've checked my internet connection status on the 722k and it shows that it's good. I try...

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    We're getting progressively worse with signals. The 211 was the best and the 722k has been the worst for pulling in out of market stations. However, it did strengthen the Montgomery locals.

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    I called dish network and I asked them to put a 722k with over the air module on the work order. I'm doing this through dishing it up . Hopefully I'll get what I asked for.

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    I only get the Birmingham stations at night or early morining. Most come in around 75%. How can I make sure I get a 722k with the module instead of the 722? I thought the module was $30, not $50.

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    My connections are good and no splits . The tuner in my lg plasma gets much better reception . any chance android app works better with the 722 rather than the 622 ? I know with the 722 I'm able to get the sling adapter and watch on my droid.

    Better OTA tuner, 722(not K) or 622 or no difference?

    Dish is sending me a 722(not k) to replace my 622. Is there any difference in the ability to pick up OTA channels? I am hoping the 722 is better. My 211 gets better OTA signal than the 622. The 622 has not been very good for me for OTA. My TV tuners and the 211 do a much better job...

    Mobile locals in Auburn?

    You can get Montgomery locals in Auburn with no problem with an antenna. My father-in-law(Aub season ticket holder) uses my second Dish receiver and VIP 211. He gets Montgomery locals on the Dish but we've used a small antenna before. Get yourself a small amplified antenna and put it on top...

    Free HD for Life?

    I just spoke with customer retention and they claim there is no grandfathering for those that have HD&Platinum. They would not change my account to show HD for life but said I could keep HD and platinum for as long as I like. If I want to drop Platinum I have to pay $99 for HD for life or sign...

    VIP 222 Remote Issues

    How would the TV affect the Dish remote? Did the adding of the TV to the remote mess up the frequencies? The TV is a 47" Sony 1080p LCD, 120hrz. I don't know the model number.

    VIP 222 Remote Issues

    I got a co-worker set up with Dish network a couple of weeks ago. He's having problems with his remote for TV1 on his VIP222. Dish just sent him a new remote but it doesn't work either. Does the new remote have to be programmed? The old remote would only work if you placed it right in front...

    Sports Pack confusion

    I think the mulit sport pack is great if you're a baseball fan. I'm a big Orioles fan who lives in Alabama. I get to watch at least the last inning of almost every game. Lately I've been watching the 7th inning on. The O's always play long games. For $5.99 it's a good way to catch the end...

    Dumb ?: Why doesn't Dish build wifi into receivers?

    If I used a bridge could I watch Netflix or MLB.TV through my 622?

    Multi Sports Package

    I have it as I am an avid Orioles fan but live in Alabama. I pretty much get to see the end of each game because they run over the alotted time period. I also get Big 10 with all of its football and basketball. Other than that, I hardly watch it. You should get most college football and...

    VIP 622 Questions

    I ended up taking the deal and got a 622. I also took a splitter off of my OTA setup and have the attic antenna sent directly to my 622. My signal strengths on the 622 without the splitter seem to be worse than the 211 with several rooms hooked up to a splitter. I thought that was strange.

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    I just switched to HD & Platinum for my account and my mom's account with no problem. They even let me change from Classic Silver with 250 add-on to Classic 250 DVR advantage. It looks like they're letting everyone switch to the new packages.

    I just talked to dish loyalty department and they got confirmation from a supervisor that you will be charged the extra ten if you already have platinum and you do nothing. However, you can switch to Hd&Platinum no matter your subscription status starting tomorrow for just $10. Don't know how...

    Dish Programming Changes (Effective August 1st)

    I currently have Classic Gold with HD and the Platinum promotion. However, I'm upgrading to the new Classic Gold DVR package tomorrow. Will I get the new HD and Platinum pack since I upgraded to a HD DVR and the install isn't until August 1?

    VIP 622 Questions

    I just called and Dish offered me the 722, not the (k) version. I can't imagine me wanting to record that many programs at the same time so this is a good deal for me. I will keep my 211 and use it with my extra dish for tailgaiting.
