    More 61.5 HD Migrations Coming...

    Just to give the update - all is good. The Tech was great (direct Dish employee/tech). After we talked initially, he went outside and called Dish support himself as well has his supervisor - got them to cancel the original order and create a new one correctly for a migration. He installed a...

    More 61.5 HD Migrations Coming...

    I too am in this boat. Called the CSR on Wednesday night, she had no clue what was going on but said they would send someone out on Friday. I read this thread yesterday and figured by the time the tech arrived on Friday, all would be good. Well, . . . tech just arrived, said he had no clue...

    722 Reboots - 4 Times Yesterday

    And, . . . this 722 was almost useless last night, likely internal temperature related. Constantly would reboot after only a few minutes of use. So bad, we stopped using it (and missed our ability to record one of our shows). Called Dish - they are sending a replacement. Hopefully - this is...

    722 Reboots - 4 Times Yesterday

    Thanks for the responses. Answers to all comments, . . . Both TV and DVR, . . . last night twice while I was recording one show - watching live TV. Once while only watching live TV, . . . other while in delayed live mode. Tonight - it just rebooted twice while watching a recorded show. I...

    722 Reboots - 4 Times Yesterday

    OK - We've had our 722 for about 6 weeks now. I noticed a couple of reboots the first few weeks - then fairly stable. Yesterday, the box rebooted 4 times (twice while recording a single 90 minute show) - vary annoying. :mad: I've searched the forums - doesn't seem to be a common issue...

    722 PCM Audio Complete 'Loss'

    OK - got my 722 a few weeks ago. I noticed late last week once that I lost all audio on 'TV1' from all the SD satellite channels. TV2, HD channels and OTA digital channels were OK. Next day - everything was working so let it be. Last night this happened again. Only this time I spend a...

    Dish 722: Control TV1 with TV2 remote? (HD in 2 rooms)

    Could someone please describe how to do this. I would really like to do this while in dual mode (use IR in main room, UHF in another room to control TV1). I could neither figure it out by surfing the menus - or find out how to do this in the manual.

    Versus

    Not sure, . . . but I currently have The Golf Channel ala carte. I was told this is no longer possible to do this way and I was grandfathered into it. And, . . . because Versus/The Golf Channel share a common HD channel - I do not get that common HD channel. Stinks - because I'm paying $4.99...

    When Do We Get The New September Channels?

    Isn't the real question, . . . which September? Sorry, . . . been with Dish way too long I guess. :)

    Dish 'N it Up Rebate

    :):):):):) Me too - lots of adds, deletes, partial fees, partial credits, etc. In addition to the equipment changes, I made some programming changes as well. Good luck walking through it - I got through mine, but took awhile to understand what was going on. I will say - they were nice...

    Dish 'N it Up Rebate

    That's my understanding, . . . $100 rebate and 6 months free HD. BTW - the rebate form I provided the link to is what the CSR told me to fill out for the $100 rebate. FWIW - I just got my 722 receiver installed yesterday. So, . . . I looked at my bill activity this morning to see if all...

    Dish 'N it Up Rebate

    That, . . . and all the folks that fail to claim the rebate too. There is an art to rebates, . . . many companies out there that do this as a "service" for retailers. Retailer pays them a set fee per rebate product sold, . . . then they 'pad' their profit from those that fail to claim the...

    Dish 'N it Up Rebate

    Yea it is confusing. I don't recall if the CSR that took the order mentioned it was a one time, or a $10 over 10 type rebate. All she said was it was a $100 rebate on the 'upfront' payment - plus "free HD for 6 months (worth $120)". I might have been assuming the rebate was $10 over 10 (or...

    Dish 'N it Up Rebate

    Just printed out the form for my rebate for a 722 upgrade in the works (install is scheduled for later today). Looks like this will be a one time credit to my account (from the rebate form) and the CSR that took the work order, said it would be $100. Sure is better then the $10 for 10...

    Activation Fee Nightmare

    I seriously doubt the CC company would allow for an additional charge for disputing a charge - especially one where DN failed to deliver on the service promised. If they do add another charge - dispute that one too. FWIW - I have had very good success with the few disputed charges I have...

    What Type Of Dish

    mtman6698 - don't know your specifics, . . . but I can tell you that DISH came out and took care of a dish update for me a few years ago. Locals were moved around a bit and dish was REQUIRED to add a new sat dish - on their nickel - so that I could receive all the channels (they were channels I...

    Upgrade to 722 Scheduled for 8/22

    Wow Rich - didn't expect that, . . . especially from someone that doesn't know me or know how I conduct myself during business discussion. Thanks MRPLOW - I appreciate it that you answered my question. Please let me know how the install goes.

    Upgrade to 722 Scheduled for 8/22

    Rich - could I ask you a favor. Could you please confirm for me your upfront charge on your CC when it shows up (mine is in the on-line history already) and that you in fact receive a 722 on Wednesday when they complete the install. I went around in circles with the CSRs last week on the...

    Dish Locals vs OTA Locals

    Yes - and before, I had a 508/6000 combo so was fortunate to have a DVR fee free receiver up to now so never a need to look at the DVR advantage pak. Anyway, we discussed this today and have decided that you are all RIGHT!!!! :) - Amazing! We didn't consider that we might desire to...

    Dish Locals vs OTA Locals

    Thanks for the feedback - the DVR advantage pack with AT100 nets out to $0.98 savings if I understand it correctly. Sound like most though believe there is enough added value to keep the locals for the guide info. We'll give it some thought.

    Dish Locals vs OTA Locals

    Getting a new Vip722 in a few weeks to replace my 508/6000. Been thinking of dropping locals from Dish with the change given all primary rooms in my house now have ATSC equipment built in. With the 722 - I will be able to record network TV from its ATSC tuner - so locals are no longer...

    Aug 15th HD Upgrade

    Alright - we went ahead with the order. Key decision points; New HD Channels of real 'value' to me (Disc, TLC, Food, History, TBD Future) Vip722 - $199 upfront ($100 rebate credit to bill) 6 months 'Free HD' One thing the CSR said was that I MUST have this professionally installed to...

    Aug 15th HD Upgrade

    So, . . . Aug 15th is here, and I want my future Deadliest Catch in HD! An upgrade is now mandatory! :) After a 2nd call to Dish (1st resulted in 'can you please hold' every other broken English sentence), . . . this is what I was told via the tech line. BTW - this CSR agent sounded VERY...

    HDD on Our 508 Finally Dieing

    Agreed on the HD being worth something. We already have have HD, love it, & can get ~ 14 local digital stations OTA. We are also grandfathered in on the original Dish HD $10/month package. We the lease fees, DVR fees, and required HD Package upgrade, we just don't see $240/year ($450 first...

    HDD on Our 508 Finally Dieing

    This gets better, . . . I looked at my online bill last night and the shipping shows $0.0. So this may have only been $20 to replace. Receiver arrived yesterday and we are back in business!!! Works out just right, . . . we are headed out for the weekend and wanted to record a number of shows.
