    722 pixelation and complete signal loss

    Do NOT touch any of the wiring, do NOT touch the ground block or the ground wire. Make the tech aware of a possible electrical issue as it could be very hazardous to his or her health.

    I have a question about the dish 1000.4

    Dude, you are thinking of the 1000.4 western arc setup, NOT eastern. You do not get any mpeg2 (SD) programming through a 1000.4 eastern arc setup. Refer to Matt's post higher up in this page.

    722 USB Wifi

    He didn't specify so I thought it was the safest answer, thanks for clarifying though.

    722 USB Wifi

    I don't think you can have the wireless and external storage on the same port on the receiver.

    Need help with....well not really sure.

    In the vizio settings look for something along the lines of ambient light sensor or the sort and turn it off. This is a common issue in the field with the new TVs

    Newly hired installer question???

    I have a pair of $110 Red Wing boots. They aren't insulated but are waterproof and have a 1/2in heel lug. For winter I just use heavier socks when it nears -40F and they work great. The laces are the weak point but I just use 550 paracord and burn the ends for new laces...

    Advice for a do-it-yourself from scratch Dish Network setup?

    Dude, some of your facts are out of date. There is no more $40 fee. The $6 DVR fee is only for DVR (built-in) receivers like the 612, 622, 722, 625, 512, etc... Not the 211. Early termination fees are $17.50 per month for new customers that sign up with a 2 year contract..

    722 and sling link turbo loss of connection.

    Only the phone-based Dishcomm modem will show up there along with other receivers in the home. I'd call Dish and say the Slinglink has ceased working and see if they can send you a new one or have someone come out and fix it for you.

    722 and sling link turbo loss of connection.

    Menu, 6 1 8 2. Reset connection. It should also list the ethernet and homeplug (slinglink) MAC address on that screen. The slinglink basically acts as a bridge but the router may only see the slinglink connected when it comes to MAC addresses.

    Kudos for Dish Network Customer Support

    The OP is proof that connecting equipment via phone line or broadband is important!

    Powerline - Broadband and Telephone Simultaneously

    You cannot if both powerline devices are communicating at the same time which will cause lots of interference. Just choose one over the other. Or a cheaper and better idea is if you have the service plan is to set up a service call to have the tech install the equipment for you. This way it...

    DVR crashes 38 times in one month, 5 units replaced so far

    I smell a bad LNB. Do us a favor and post a pic of the following screen: Press menu on remote press 6 press 1 press 3 select details Now for the signal strengths are there any large variations between the signal strengths in each row? If so I'd suspect the lnb. As for the tech not wanting...

    622 and Sling Adapter????

    We love easy service calls. Make it sound complicated when you call in and tell the tech exactly whats going on when he gets there. These kinds of things really brighten some days up.

    Opinion - Wireless adapter vs. Powerline Broadband connector

    Dish no longer charges for connectivity equipment on service calls. It is cheaper if you have the home service plan to set up a $15 service call.

    Urgent Notice

    I'd argue the point that Dish is essentially forcing you to get HD equipment and shouldn't require any funds on your part. Ask to speak to the loyalty team if they are not cooperating. Worse comes to worse email ceo@dishnetwork.com about your issue.

    Intaller Comment - Need to run another cable because Diplexers don't work

    Diplexers work great, he either doesn't want to spend the extra dollar for diplexers or needs actual training on how to use them properly. If you don't know, ask!

    How well would a DISH DVR fly across the lawn?

    Amazing how there isn't a "shut down" button on the receiver. It's fine.

    How well would a DISH DVR fly across the lawn?

    It is a linux based receiver, it'll be fine. Lets not spread disinformation eh?

    signal strength

    You should be getting higher strengths than 50 that far south (on transponders 14 15 and 16 on 110 and 119). Try moving the dish first if you think the tree is in the way.

    Broadband & VIP612

    No you don't. You can use that crappy hub or upgrade to a switch since the router can hand out IP addresses. Just plug the switch into the router and problem solved.
