    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    Discovery, recording "Homestead Rescue", some episodes show up as 2 or 3 hours, when you watch them, they contain the named episode for 1 hour, along with another episode or 2. Now some are coming up as "Homestead Rescue: Surviving the Wild" as a title.this last Sunday, and next Sunday. Same...

    Watching from a different location?

    So, since it seems chromecast doesn't work with dish anywhere, though I thought I'd read that it would, is there a specific fire stick that is required? or do they all work? Just trying to get recordings to another TV in the home without a joey, on the same network. Chromecast got sound but no...

    signal issues?

    Been having some intermittent signal issues, breaking up of sound and picture, for a few days on local channels, oddly, I saw the same problem at my sister's house 10 miles away yesterday, with a message occasionally coming up about (paraphrasing here) "problem with locals, that Dish knows...

    They really need to update the package channel listings on their website...

    As what channel number? I have Dish America at home, it should be 997 according to the programming cards, not there on mine

    They really need to update the package channel listings on their website...

    that, unless I'm missing something, does not give any info on dish america packages at all. every AT120 channel is listed as AT120, even if it's also on Dish America. I'm trying to research whether a change from AT120 to DA makes sense for my sister's account, currently on AT120 with HD free...

    Why am I being told the 722 and 722k are the same thing?

    oh, and it's been a while since I've been able to find the upgrade info in the my account section of dish network. Anyone know if it's just gone, changed to call customer service to find out anything? or was it moved somewhere I'm not looking?

    Why am I being told the 722 and 722k are the same thing?

    what I don't get with that, if dish owns it, and it fails out of manufacturers warranty, dish expects the customer, who doesn't own the equipment, to pay for replacement. Maybe you qualify for an upgrade and can get it free with a contract renewal, but even that's a maybe.

    722 skipped recording restored by itself

    I've had these skip a rerun, and a day later the timer switched back on issues for over a month. The latest though is my 1 hour priority 11 show, recording started at 33 minutes in, because of the proirity 54 half hour show that should have been skipped by priority. This happened sunday a week...

    Is Dish PCM output "compressed"

    I'd tried all combinations, then when it worked later, everything seems to work, RF mode and line mode seem to make a volume difference now.

    Is Dish PCM output "compressed"

    I tried hooking up my sister's 722k receiver to a soundbar+subwoofer setup, and get no audio, apparently the blinking LED I'm getting means S/PDIF Compressed format detected. It's supposed to be configured for PCM or PCM stream. I tried all combinations of audio output settings. Gah, of course...

    Time Change

    with the time change and a check switch my event skipped by user and manual restores disappeared, I think this has happened before, but I never remember to check after the change, meaning things I want got skipped.

    external hard drive capacity

    really, no fee on 622/722/922? I hadn't seen that, it was a $40 one time fee, and as far as I knew it hadn't changed. Now I can't seem to log into my dish account to see if it still shows that I would be charged the fee to unable EHDs

    Time Change

    I really don't get why after all these years, they still haven't worked out dealing with time changes right. Even paper tv guide and guide sections in newspapers now as well as before DVRs ignore time changes, making me wonder what happens to programming at that time, probably random depending...

    Dish online access - no slngbox

    I used to be able to change the channel etc through the website, along with see a list of timer conflicts, but could not see video on the computer, as I don't have a slingbox. Now it seems that many of those functions have been removed from dishonline. Maybe there's some confusion and these...

    Holiday Music NOW on DISH

    So far, Thanksgiving isn't as commercializable as Christmas and Halloween, just a meal and limited decorations, that's why it gets skipped. I did see Christmas stuff replacing some aisles of Halloween before Halloween in some stores both this year and last.

    DISHONLINE ISSUES

    I don't have the sling adapter, but use dishonline occasionally to manage my timers. I was having the problems referred to here but hadn't bothered checking into it, so haven't used it in a while. Today, it connected but showed no recordings or timers, clicking refresh and waiting a while, they...

    I seem to have lost transponders 20 and 4, the others I've checked seem to be ok. ktla on 80004/232 is one channel showing signal lost, also outdoor channel on 153, and multiple music channels, like 926-936. From the switching through channels I've done, the ones on other channels and spotbeams...
