    Best deal with no commitment?

    I will be in a place with relatively low speed internet with a low data cap so streaming is out until StarLink is available, hopefully in 9-12 months.

    Best deal with no commitment?

    Is this statement on reviews.org therefore inaccurate? "DISH does give you the option to live without a contract so you have the freedom to cancel your service anytime. If you’re not into that long-term commitment, you’ll just have to pay that $10–$15 more month to month."

    Best deal with no commitment?

    I'm looking to start Dish or DirecTV satellite service but don't want to make a long term commitment/contract. What are the best deals to do this with a reasonable selection of channels? When I last was a Dish customer 4 years ago, they had an inexpensive a la carte plan they didn't publicize...

    Can Joey use my home's existing WiFi network?

    Is a FireStick running Dish Anywhere an option to make this work over existing WiFi? (although I've seen a slew of negative reviews of the app on FireStick).

    Can Joey use my home's existing WiFi network?

    The reason I suspect this is not possible is because I found this on cepro.com: "Some integrators have raised the question of whether a Wireless Joey can leverage the home’s existing Wi-Fi system. Since the WAP generates a proprietary wireless signal to the Wireless Joey, integrating with the...

    Can Joey use my home's existing WiFi network?

    There's a WiFi 6 router on each end linked via a 5GHz 867Mbps point-to-point CPE dish cabled to the router on each end.

    Can Joey use my home's existing WiFi network?

    I'm looking to do a new Dish install at a friend's farm, which has a remote barn connected by existing high speed wireless network bridging. The links would be too far for the Dish Hopper/Joey WiFi. Can the Hopper/Joey be configured to use the existing premises WiFi for streaming etc? I...

    Please Help with Wireless Joey connection

    I believe the Joey lost connection due to an internal hardware failure. Suddenly network status showed no router detected. Reportedly the other Joey's in the owner's main house had no interruption. They gave me a spare Joey to try and that powers up into the "Connect to WAP" screen. Based on...

    Please Help with Wireless Joey connection

    I'm staying in a guest cottage with a wireless Joey connected to the owner's Dish system. There's also a WiFi network on the property. My wireless Joey has lost connection. After a restart, it is stuck on the "Connect to WAP" screen and wants someone to push the WPS button. However, I...

    Viewing constantly interrupted by Partial Signal Loss, code 00-00-00

    Thanks. Yes, I do have the OTA tuner and your suggestion reminds me that I've often seen some screwy behavior with the 722K thinking the OTA signal was weak when it really wasn't.

    Viewing constantly interrupted by Partial Signal Loss, code 00-00-00

    ESPN and CNN keep dropping out with the Partial Signal Loss screen, error code 00-00-00, on this overcast morning in Albany NY. What's particularly bothersome is the blue screen persists until I take action with the remote control. I'm not even sure the signal loss screen pertains to the...

    Zinger after a vacation pause on my account

    As suggested by CSR over on Facebook, I called Senior Resolution Specialists at 866-215-1048 and they quickly restored my former pricing.

    Zinger after a vacation pause on my account

    I paused it in a chat session and don't remember them telling me this (maybe I'm wrong). And they do continue to bill you $5 per month for the pause.

    Zinger after a vacation pause on my account

    CSR on Facebook just confirmed, telling me that once you pause an account, you start from scratch when you unpause and lose any pricing you had in the past. Sucks. Bye bye Dish.

    Zinger after a vacation pause on my account

    Thanks for the responses. The CSR quoted my monthly rate after unpausing and I noticed it was higher and he explained the DVR fee upcharge and supervisor got on the chat and said he couldn't do anything about it. And no, have never been under any kind of 2-year anything. How do I get a DIRT...

    Zinger after a vacation pause on my account

    10+ year Dish customer here. I put my account on pause before leaving on a two-month vacation. They now refuse to honor my previous $7 monthly DVR fee, and will bump it to $15. I'm not a happy camper and told them to leave the account on pause while I decide whether to continue with Dish or...

    Remove TV2 from 722K?

    Can someone please tell me how to remove all references to TV2 from my new replacement 722K? I only have a single TV with a TV1 remote. My new replacement 722K seems to think I've got two TV/remotes. Thanks

    DVR recordings only partial record

    One old problem (which still exists on my 722K), is that occasionally a recording is made that will not play back completely - it prematurely skips ahead to the end of the recording, and this always happens at the same point in the recording. I encounter this issue about once per month. From...

    VIP 722 Ends playback and skips to end of program

    It's nine years later and my 722K still does this occasionally (i.e., the latter part of a recording is unwatchable because the dvr skips to the end when it gets to a certain point and you can't ffwd or otherwise play through the point). So much for watching last night's recorded World Series...
