    When OTA Loses Signal Dish Shuts Down

    I only have Hopper 3 (2nd one; 1st one replaced). We were watching channel 7.1 NYC WABC recording of GMA which starts at 7am at 10am. 15 minutes in we get pixelation then loss of signal then Hopper reboots. Dish can't fix problem. I asked them but it seems when they designed the code then didn't...

    Frustrated by numerous program guide issues

    I can see why Dish is losing subscribers. And EVERY time I call they want me to use their new mobile phone network.

    Does anyone have any evidence that the guide updates outside of the middle of the night light the middle of the morning? etc.

    Too much? It's all software. I can't believe the machine does not have an event log in it on part of the hard drive

    Frustrated by numerous program guide issues

    They probably didn't upgrade your towers yet. Where you located? Did they say it was unavailable in your area and they contacted you? The kept telling me it wasn't. Went into t-mobile store and bitahced about it and they said, here take it home for 2 week and it worked great. Two weeks later I...

    Frustrated by numerous program guide issues

    I recently moved my Hopper from the 2nd floor to the first floor as we watch most of out TV downstairs and I eliminated a Joey in the process. I have had an antenna on my roof for I don't remember how long so I've been getting almost al my digital channels (I live 25 miles west of WTC and Empire...

    Is Dish expanding into other telecommunications areas

    I've read recently that Dish has dropped the satellite logo so as to be more of a telecom player. I've also read of rumors of buying T-Mobile, which would be good as Dish owns some wireless spectrum and ATT had to fork over spectrum and $3B if the merger didn't go through. I currently have...

    Can Joeys communicate via Ethernet as opposed to cable

    I looked at the link that "sparc" sent where it points to wiring diagrams and Dish's doc specifically says Ethernet is the preferred connection if Hopper is close to router

    Can Joeys communicate via Ethernet as opposed to cable

    I'm kind of not familiar with your colloqualism. I assume by belt and suspenders you mean Ethernet and Coax. What do you mean the broadband is "filled for the Joeys". High utilization?

    Can Joeys communicate via Ethernet as opposed to cable

    OK...great, so the question remains. Can the Joeys talk to the Hopper via Ethernet?

    Can Joeys communicate via Ethernet as opposed to cable

    A couple of years ago I got FIOS installed and the guy did a crap job installing the cable and we got a leak in a room that cost us $3000 to basically redo the room. Nevertheless the wife is kind of not in favor of replacing cable (RG6?). We've been Dish customer since Dec 1998 so I assume the...

    Question about Home Plug and Powerline

    I have a VIP722K with a Sling Adapter and Home Plug. Works fine. I just bought a D-Link DHP-307AV which is essentially 2 Powerline adapters that run at up to 200 Mbps. I pulled out the Home Plug and stuck the D-Link in and it couldn't connect. Will it work? Do I have to unplug the 722 and...

    Can someone out there tell me how to APPLY for a Sling Adapter rebate?

    I live chatted w someone in customer service and then someone higher up the ladder. She didn't know and said it would take 48-72 hours to get back to me. It's so neat they have a website to track it, it'd be nice to know how to apply for it

    Questions about VIP722, Sling Adapter, and using Internet

    I just recently got a VIP722K, VIP612, a Sling adapter (on the 722) and a Turbo plug. The Turbo plug has an IP address on my local network as well as the 722 and 612. Here are my questions. To view via the Internet must I make the 722 "open" to the Internet. Does it use a specific port...

    Question about Dish Switches

    I honestly cant tell you why only 1 receiver is on the SW44. And the switch is IN the house right near the receiver. I guess I have to trace the wire and see what the deal is. I have one cable run straight to my man cave upstairs and it's not on ANY switches. So if I run 2 OUT cables from the...

    Question about Dish Switches

    I presently have a few Dish 5xx DVR receivers attached to a Dish 500 dish. One of the receivers has a SW44 switch (installed in 1998). I was thinking of getting a VIP722K but I understand I need a DP44 and DP33 switch so I can use 1 cable. My question is what order do I hook up these switches...

    Question about 922 Sling Capability

    It seems to me if all the companies w Blu Ray players that wirelessly connect to the Internet can do it, Dish can.

    availability

    I thought I read somewhere last year the price of the 922 would be approx $499. I think you mis-interpreted what previous poster said. He never used the word lease.

    Question about 922 Sling Capability

    I understand how Sling works. I have a PRO-HD and have had a Classic (which I just sold on ebay). So with this wireless optional TV......How does it communicate with 922 if there isn't a wireless component in it?

    Question about 922 Sling Capability

    I'm having trouble figuring this out, but am I correct in thinking that the Sling in the 922 does not necessitate having a Wired/Wireless router? IE. It is a wireless access point?

    I need a clarification on VIP922 capabilities

    Gee Randy, Leland Stottlemeyer told me you moved to NJ not Maine. In any event, there is a web page dish.sling.com. It says to register so you can control your VIP receiver remotely. It also says to hurry because the page is going away soon. I plan on getting one soon as I'm sure many others...
