Another light: The 922 has a cooler interface with a larger internal hard drive than the 722. It cost $4 dollars more a month that a standard DVR. If you don’t see the extra value (I don’t) fine. If you do see the value, good for you. Don’t be mad because Dish offers multiple options at...

Simple explanation: Dish has two groups of satellites in the sky 110, 119, & 129 (1000.2 Western Arc dish) and 61.5, 72.7, & 77 (1000.4 Eastern Arc dish). Each group of satellites offers Dish Network programming. Some people use part of both arcs (or groups of satellites) to get their...

I set up a second account for a summer retreat. I did a self-install with a receiver I owned. The first time I try to get the 2nd account turned on, I had a lot of issues and hung up with the CSR after 2 hours. The second time I called I was activated within 5 minutes. The difference is I used a...

I have a 622 with top 200 with Free HD for life, free stars for a year, and HD Platinum. However I think I'm going to drop to the 150 package until baseball season starts next spring. When I wanted to lower my bill I dropped 2 receivers, mirrored my 622 and added an OTA antenna. I also use...

& you can buy separators at dish.com. If want to deal with local people try craigslist.org. There are a lot of installers out there that would sell you those items.

It is only in silver and gold.

Your dish may be a pointed a little low and too far to the west. To check this go to the signal strength screen and lock on to 119 sat. Then cover only the 119 side of the LNB. If the signal is still on the screen then it is coming in on the wrong side of the LNB. If you are picking up the 129...

I believe the upgrade fee (one time charge) is based on how many HD/DVRs are on the account. Replacing the 522 would make it his second.

Starting June 3rd the price for upgrades is increasing. However they are starting a “ Free HD for Life” campaign. As an existing customer if you: 1. Sign up for autopay and paperless billing. 2. Sign a new 2 year commitment (required for your upgrade) Then you will get the basic HD...

If you get a 2nd DVR there will probably be an upgrade fee.

I would call Dish ASAP for an upgrade. Get your upgrade now while they are cheap (before free HD for life starts). Then sign up for free HD for life when that promotion starts. You could get a free upgrade, then free HD programming.

I have seen a lot of what you’re describing. The Birdog web site says that a receiver needs to be hooked up to the LNB for it to work properly. Horizon Satellite Meters There are some good notes there about using a Birdog with dish network. I have found that trying to make a Birdog work...

I'd ask the tech if he would run it. If he gives you a reason why he can't do it, offer him $20. That should cover any extra labor, cable or lack of motivation.

Yep, you probably have a Home Plug Ethernet bridge which is compatible with VIP receivers.

There are some Dish customers who have no choice but to watch their programming or PPV through component video. Many of the early HDMI/DVI TV adopters have now found themselves in situations where sloppy code writing by equipment manufacturers have made the digital inputs useless or a pain to...

Does anyone else feel like a 722/622 with a sling box would be better that a 922? The 922 is missing tv2 functions, external HD compatibility, and picture in picture. The user interface is a lot more polished on the 722 than the 922. While the interface looks prettier on the 922, I believe...

I don't think he was giving a SD vs HD size ratio. He was saying DVRs usually hold between 10-100 hours of HD content or 100-1000 hours of SD content.

I think duo mode has been disabled. Our 922 switched itself to single mode. The mode button on the box no longer works and duo/single mode icon has been removed from the settings folder.

I no longer have the ability to select duo mode on our 922.

I have had a 211 EHD for a month or so. It works just like my old 508. I think I get 49 hrs of HD recording with a 750 gig HD. I haven’t tried hooking up an OTA yet so I’m not sure if I can record 2 things at once. The program guide did extend out to nine days when the hard drive was hooked up...

I’m having a problem syncing the tv2 touch pad remote with our 922. I press and hold the Channel + button but the remote never beeps. Any ideas?

Programing + $20 gets you a 722 ($6 DVR fee) , 211 ($7) ,211 ($7) 722 can be used in single TV mode like a 612 with a bigger hard drive. or Programing + $20 gets you a 612 ($6 DVR fee) , 211 ($7) ,211 ($7) or Programing + $16 gets you a 222 (included) & a 612 ($10 & $6 DVR fee)

Did you press the record button after the lights flashed? This should be done at the reciever while the sys info screen is up and the antenna is connected directly to the box. Pressing the record button sends the changes to the box.

Something in or around your home is interfering with the signal. Is running a cable from the receiver to the TV2 location possible? By what you are describing that should resolve the issue. The coax will shield out the interference and with the antenna attached to the end it will be like the...

OK, if amplifier is going to stay in you need to get the remote antenna off the TV2 line. Have you tried removing the splitters and the antenna connections on the TV2 line and hooking the antenna directly to the receiver box? If that fixes it great, if not you can do a couple of tests to see...
