    Can't access Sling/Dishanywhere overseas?

    Hello all, I'm trying to help my parents who are currently overseas and want to access their DVR recordings only (not live tv). I hooked up the sling adapter at their US home and am able to access their DVR recordings from my home in the states. When I spoke to my parents to walk them through...

    Hopper Upgrades

    I currently have (2) 622's and (1) 722K. I also have an OTA tuner hooked up to one of my 622's. I'm really interested in learning more about the Hopper system and how it would work specifically for me if I upgrade. Obviously I'm also interested in what the cost vs my current setup would be. I...

    Add Comcast Basic Cable to Dish Network???

    Thanks for all the info. HanoverPretzel definitely makes a good point that I hadn't considered. I'll have to give that one some thought. TG2, By signing up for Comcast Blast and Basic Cable I was able to save about $60 over the course of 2 years (and get faster internet) vs signing up for...

    Add Comcast Basic Cable to Dish Network???

    That sounds easy enough. I assume that would have to be a seperate coax cable carrying cable only and not split with the dish service.

    Add Comcast Basic Cable to Dish Network???

    I am adding Comcast high speed internet at my house on Saturday. When I signed up it was cheaper for me to bundle my order with Comcast basic cable so that's what I ordered with the intention of just not using the basic cable side of things. Now I'm wondering if I can somehow use the basic cable...

    Question - Connecting receiver to wireless home network...

    Thanks for the responses. So from what I gather so far the only real feature I would get for setting this up on my network is that I would have access to on demand movie rentals. Does that sound right? Is there anything else? Does dish offer any other type of on demand service? I always hear...

    Question - Connecting receiver to wireless home network...

    In about a week I'm upgrading my painfully slow DSL connection to a considerably faster cable internet connection. I have a wireless bridge lying around (WET54G) and I'm wondering what advantages/features/options I would have if I connected one of my VIP622 receivers to my home network using the...

    Lost Lots Of HD Channels

    I apologize if this has been covered but I'm afraid a simple search might not get the results I'm looking for. I have a tech coming to do my Eastern Arc Upgrade on Saturday. They will actually be completing the work that another installer had started a number of months ago (another story...

    Free Gun with new Dish Network install

    Amazing how something can be seen as a valuable promo tool in one part of the country while in others it reads as the funniest/strangest thing in the world. I can't quite imagine a local dealer in Boston offering coupons for guns to new dish subscribers.
