So how do I get rid of the $50 charge for the dish? I'm not paying for a useless piece of hardware.

Question - I'm returning my receivers and dish so Dish will stop whining. They sent me two boxes. I have two receivers - do I stick the receivers in one box and the dish in another? How do I get it off my house/disassemble it to get it in the box?

Is there any way to pause DISH online? I searched around and found that you used to have to call in to do it, but that info was a little old.

I'm seeing it on a VIP722 and a 211. I don't know if this is where to report it, but it's what the search found.

Yep - very simple. It took me longer to hook up my replacement receiver a couple of weeks ago than it did to activate it online.

Well, mine did put up the error screen that said the HD temp was above 145F, and I can hear the fan going out, so I know what happened with mine.

Got a question about my VIP722 receiver (not the 722K). The past two days, it's begun overheating. It looks like it's the enclosed fan that's not working correctly. It's been louder and louder for the past few weeks, and now it's doing the catch-and-spin thing, where it spins for a while, and...

According to info a few pages back, they removed the HD channels temporarily so that the boxes wouldn't show them and get stuck on signal loss screens or something similar. They should come back when the outage is over.

Ah, OK. So the problem is with Remote Access, and not the receiver itself. Thanks for the help.

The firmware is L674. I do get the screen saver with the tips, but instead of just saying "Press Select to watch TV", like my 211 does, it says something like "Your receiver is currently off. Press Select to (yada yada yada)." It used to go into standby without a hitch - I'm not sure when...

I've got a 722 (not 722K) hooked up in my living room, and for a while now, instead of going into standby, as my 211 does, it turns off. The message that shows when I turn on the TV even says something like "Your receiver is off", instead of "Your receiver is on standby", or whatever it is...

Ummm... I don't even know what to say here. You went through this same thing last year, and you stayed with Dish, even though you were unhappy. Now they're raising their fees again, as (from what I'm reading they do every year), and suddenly it's illegal? I wish I could just say "well, I...

Seriously? You astound me.

:D:D

He said something about the fees again, didn't he? Can somebody bump the record player? The needle seems to be stuck.

It's not everyone - it's two or three people (who oddly all seem to be named Bob) and one or two staff members. The rest of us just put them on ignore and go about our lives.

Eh, it's the 722. Dish has the same product description up on their site for both the 722 and 722k...

I think I'm still on 629 too - I've got a 722k and I still have the same stuff the box came with. How do I check to make sure?

One of whom you can see in this thread, basing his whole argument on the flimsiest of complaints. As others have said, every contract is set up to protect the one making the contract. If I enter into a contract with someone, I'm not going to sign something that says "Take all my stuff and...

One thing I noticed: I paid my bill yesterday through the new site, and when the payment went through, it didn't give any kind of confirmation number, or any real indication that the payment went through successfully at all. I didn't get a confirmation number until I got the email from them...

Let us know how that goes, Mr. Howard. Oh, wait. That's not you, is it?

Kind of hard to do when it's in every thread. For God's sake, you're staff. You're supposed to set an example, not be a worse troll than the people you moderate. I'm sure if I went around acting like you do, I wouldn't be here very long. But with the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge double...

Why shouldn't we ignore you? All you do is whine all day, and then give anyone who disagrees with you the "fanboy" label. We're sick of it. If you're unhappy with Dish Network, I'm sorry, but don't ignore the fact that are others that aren't having any problems with this company, and are...

Again with the "fanboy" crap. Shut up already. No, I don't think it's all right to drag it out. But you're going to get charged to return things all over the place. Why do you think that entitles you to act the way you do - bitching and moaning all day and night, and calling anyone who dares...

And before anybody - ANYBODY - accuses me of being a Dish "fanboy", save it. I came from Mediacom cable. I got an HDTV in March. I tried to get an HD-DVR box. I went through over a month of my time, and five different pieces of hardware, before I gave up and went to Dish. Why'd I go to...
