    Hopper Upgrades

    I've been a customer for 10+ years. I have a 722k feeding two rooms and a 211k with an external hard drive in a third. I'm interested in replacing the 722 to get HD in the second room. Thanks.

    622 or 211k with external hard drive?

    I currently have a 211k and have been offered a free upgrade by Dish to the 622. I'm a little disturbed that the 622 requires a technician to install it (bad experiences in the past) so I'm considering adding an external drive to my 211k and be done with it. The biggest difference here is...

    VIP211 very strange HDMI problem

    Thanks for the reply. Sounds like the problem is most definitely software related and not due to defective hardware. Do you agree? Just for a little more information, I've since connected the monitor to an H20 Directv box and it worked fine. Will calling Dish about this issue get me...

    VIP211 very strange HDMI problem

    Could this be an HDCP issue? Does the 211k do anything with HDCP?

    VIP211 very strange HDMI problem

    I've got a very strange problem with my 211k receiver. When I connect it to a 22" Acer P221W monitor via HDMI->DVI cable, the screen alternates between a picture and snow every half second or so. When I hook it up to an older 22" monitor that I have using the same cable, it works flawlessy...

    Two dishes

    I have a 522 and an 811 receiver and am scheduled for an upgrade this weekend of my 811 to a 211. I was told that a second dish will need to be installed and my original dish will remain. I assumed that the new dish was for the 811 and the old one for the 522, but I've been told by tech...

    Quote from Dish correct for 211 upgrade?

    Yeah, my problem is that I bought an LCD that I want to run as a secondary screen, and it only supports 720p.

    Quote from Dish correct for 211 upgrade?

    Because I'd like to run my box in 720p mode, and when I switch the 811 from 1080i to 720p, my PQ suffers dramatically. I've been advised that this wont be the case with the 211.

    Quote from Dish correct for 211 upgrade?

    I just got off the phone with Dish Network. I was trying to upgrade my 811 receiver to the 211. Their offer for the receiver was a $100 charge with a $100 rebate, which is just silly, but fine. After that they wanted to charge me an extra $10/month for additional HD programming, something I...

    720p and Dish

    Thanks. What is the process of getting a different box if I don't change to mpeg4 programming? Is it simply a matter of swapping out the boxes? Does an installer have to do it or can I do it myself?

    720p and Dish

    I've got the 811 box, and until recently I've had it set to output 1080i. I've just added a second display that only supports progressive scan so I've switched it to 720p. Problem is, the picture quality in 720p mode is terrible. I know the problem isn't with my TV, as I've fed it other 720p...
