They're sending us a new receiver. Got them to waive the $15 shipping charge. Got the shipment confirmation this morning so I expect it'll arrive this week. I have an OTA module that I bought (actually it was free) when I upgraded to the 722k several years ago. I assume it'll be okay to just...

Crazy. This actually just happened to our receiver as well. Happened out of the blue yesterday. Unplugged, waited 10 seconds, plugged back in. Same problem. I can watch live TV, but no DVR. The system has frozen and rebooted twice, however. No change. I'm in a chat with DISH right now...

I'm paying $39.99, not $44.99, for AT 120. I'm grandfathered into their non locals package. If I change my package I lose the ability to go without locals, thus my bill would increase $20 if I upgraded to 200. That's what I meant when I said force. I don't need to pay for locals through dish. I...

Meh. I want an adapter, and free would be nice, but this potential offer doesn't even apply to me anyways because Dish would force me to "upgrade" to Top 200 with locals (I'm currently on AT120 without locals). I have no interest in increasing my bill by $20/month to "save" $99--a savings...

Still showing L662 for me. Really interested in seeing the DISH Online changes. Is there a way to force the update? It's odd because the receiver is set to update every morning 3AM. At least I thought it was. Can't remember if I changed that.

Not an option for me because I have a grandfathered package (AT120 w/o Locals). I have to move to at least AT120+, then pay the extra $7.00 for the sports package. What that means is that my bill would go from $34.99/month to $51.99/month with Redzone. Then when I drop Redzone and downgrade to...

You're grandfathered into the The Top 200 package (which I'm assuming doesn't have locals included right?). What is your receiver setup? Quick suggestions: 1) Eliminate the service plan (that brings your bill down to $82.99) and then 2) Eliminate Platinum (that brings your bill down to...

Ahhh the Vocal Minority. They're an amazing bunch aren't they? I've had one major problem with DISH: The mysterious VOD charge. I got them to eliminate one, but I still have one more on the account. I'm hopeful I'll be able to eliminate that. But getting back to DISH, when it comes to price...

Wow, I honestly didn't even know about DishOnline.com. Going to dig into it a bit now. Wish I knew about this when I had HD Platinum (for Epix and Epix 2). Oh well.

I knew it. We were charged for two VOD orders ($6.99 x 2 + tax) for the SAME movie. I knew no one here ordered it so I contacted customer support. The only thing I could figure is that someone changed the channel and accidentally hit 1 which put it to the VOD channel which would have made it...

:up :up for online chat. I use it all the time. :)

Not really on topic, but is there an update on when the Slingbox Adapter will be released (and any idea on its price)?

The source I used also posted Churn. DISH Network: Fell from 1.83% to 1.4% DirecTV: Increased to 1.48% from 1.33% It's true that those measured Q1 2010, but those are the only official numbers we have at the moment. We'll see what happens when Q2 numbers are reported.

Why can't we all just agree that both providers offer something for everyone? In my case I'm paying $34.99 (no locals) for AT120 with HD Free. I have the 722K receiver with an OTA tuner (that DISH didn't charge me for) connected to two TV's with the second TV replicated on two others. It's...

I understand AT120 (with HD) isn't enough for everyone, but it's always been plenty for me (save for the occasional HBO, Cinemax or Showtime subscription). Add in the VIP722k with OTA tuner and I'm set. $34.99 is a pretty nice deal and I can't get anything approaching that price with the other...

I have one and I have had no problems with it. Works perfectly. To answer your main question: Yes, it's dual tuner. I can record on two OTA channels at the same time which means with the receiver I have (same one as you) I can record FOUR different programs: 1) DISH Satellite Tuner 1 2)...

LOCALS SITUATION WITH NEW PRICING For anyone else not currently paying for locals through DISH, you may be interested in this information. You are no longer able to drop locals from your package. What that means is that if you currently subscribe to DISH and aren't paying for locals (you've...

Switch AT250 with AT120 and that's what I'm seeing. Very confusing right now because of the whole HD + Platinum situation. EDIT: Now I'm no longer seeing that message. I can choose HD 120 Free on top of the $34.99 for AT120 (without locals) and if I choose, upgrade to Platinum for $10 more per...

I have: America's Top 120 - $34.99 (doesn't include locals) HD & Platinum - $10.00 If I "upgrade" to "Free HD For Life", it'll be $39.99 for America's Top 120 (with locals I assume) + $10 if I want Platinum HD. So $49.99 + tax for "Free HD For Life" or $44.99 + tax for the exact same...

Hi, I currently have the Dish 500 satellite. I want to get the PANORAMA ITALIANO package (I currently subscribe only to RAI), but they told me I need to upgrade my DISH to the SuperDish. My question is the following. There are 4 different dish's right? The Single, the 500, the SuperDish...

That's stupid. Whats the point of that? The whole point of using an antenna is to save $6/month. They should have just left that tuner out to save money on the unit. EDIT: Wait a second, I misread. You have to subscribe to their HD package, not their local package. That's okay then.

Just a quick question. You can use this receiver for OTA HD right? But do you have to be subscribed to DISH's Locals package?

If my 510 would have been free, I probably wouldn't be complaining, but I had to pay about $150 to switch to a Dish 500 with the 510. So in the end, a $5 fee is extra money that could be used for something else. I guess the fact that I've been with Dish since they started out doesn't mean...

My 510 still shows me with version 302. How can I get it to update? And does anyone know if this fixes the FF bug?

I'd rather have a 501/508 then pay $5 for my 510 which is basically identical, with the exception of a larger hard drive. I've been with Dish Network for way too long, and have been treated like crap from them. Hopefully they do something good when it comes to the MPEG 4 switch, or else...
