    Dish 6.3 Remote batteries don't last

    I have three 6.3 Dish remotes. I programm the "SAT" for my 722 and the "AUX" for my Bell 5100. Think this is the only remote that will allow you to program the "AUX" key for another receiver. I am constantly have to replace batteries usually less than a month. I have several other Dish remotes...

    Switched back to Dish Network.

    I've had the new R-10 DirecTivo's for a couple of months now. I too think they are very over rated. I had the original Dishplayer/Webtv units, 501,508 510 and 721's. All of the E* receivers took about a year to become stable. The key E* features I miss are: 1) The UHF remotes. I had three...

    522 Remote 2 UHF does not work other receivers

    I just found out the hard way that the new 522 #2 UHF remote will not work with the 501,508,510 or 721. I had a TV in a very far bedroom that I connected to a 721 through the RF input. The remote had to be held a a certain angle to get channels and menus to work. I had read the new 522 used a...

    921 Guide same as 721?

    I was not interested in a 921 as I don't have a HD TV but now with it's lower price I am thinking of replacing a 721 with a 921. I have a few questions. 1) Is the guide the same or different than the 721 guide? 2) If the guide is different, is it better, in what way? 3) Can it be used as a...

    Dish Network in Prince Edward Island Canada

    I have a Bell Express Vu receiver that I use in Connecticut. I recently purchased a cottage on the north shore of Prince Edward Island (PEI) Canada. I have a Bell Express Vu system (VUE) and Dish Network receivers. When I went to PEI in July I took one of each of my receivers and a Dish 500. I...

    First Look: DishPro Plus Technology

    I have two 721's,a 510 & a old JVC DVHS/5000 (non Dish Pro). I only need it to work with a Dish 500 as I just need the 110 & 119 satellites. Since this switch has four outputs could I hook two of the outputs to the 721's with the Dish Pro Separators and the other two receivers to the other two...

    I called SBC in Connecticut @ 811 this morning. The CSR was very good. I was inquiring for a friend. . Her Cablevision is their "Basic Package" plus their "Family Pack" it has almost the same channels as the Top 120 package. She would lose Oxygen, Soap Net and WNBC from NY City. The Top...

    New Customer used 508 no DVR fee?

    I have a friend of mine that is interested in a Dish Network System. If she orders a 510/301 system she would have to pay the $4.99 DVR fee since she only wants Top 100 with out any premiums. I am suggesting that she just get a 301. I have an extra 508 I could activate on her account. Since...

    811 SELLING Dec 1ST FOR $50

    Guest, E* has said the new receivers will go to new subs first. This was even before their last press conference where Charlie said they needed to get new product out asap. If E* new subs drop off this quarter the reaction by Wall St could be much worse. If the new sub numbers are good then...

    Retailer Chat News

    Charlie said the deal for a 6000 was as low as $99.00 for certain custmers BUT he did not spell out what the requirements were so they could make up a new plan like two years credit card autopay with the everything plan or some other high content plan.

    Tampa8, you are correct I forgot the intention of the RV waiver was so a sub could see network programming while on vacation. As Rosann Rosanna Dana would say "never mind". Murray

    Letter from E* concerning 5 receivers

    Appied Aggression, no the "Wolfpack" tied the Springfield "Falcons". They are in first place and have only lost one away game in OT. So they have at least a point in every game so far. It is a very good team this year. They remind of the 2000 team that won the "Calder Cup". I was very...

    Letter from E* concerning 5 receivers

    Thanks everyone for all your advice. I read the agreement that E sent it does show that a phone line is one of the requirements. I have another reason for not wanting E* to see my equipment. I am Canadian that is one reason I'm into hockey. I bought a cottage in Prince Edward Island Canada...

    Vacation home rules

    When I signed the RV waiver ( about 4 years ago) there was a stipulation that the "RV" receiver could not be removed and used at your residence. You also had to state that you had to permanently mount a dish on the RV. I don't remember if you had to designate one of your receivers as the "RV"...

    Letter from E* concerning 5 receivers

    Filip, thanks again for your help. I picked my mail late Saturday (with the letter from e8) as I was out all day with my wife. I went to a local AHL Hockey game last night in Hartford so I did not get home until after 10:00 pm last night. I'm a Supervisor at a True Value Store and work Sunday...

    Letter from E* concerning 5 receivers

    5 receivers Fillp, did you speak to someone at E* directly or is this your understanding of the intent of the letter. How much were the wireless phone jacks or did E* offer the jacks at no charge. Do you have a RV waiver and do you have to have that receiver plugged in too? Thank you...

    Letter from E* concerning 5 receivers

    I have five E* receivers. Today I received a letter from E* that states all my receivers must be hooked up to my phone line. They also state that if I don't have phone lines I could use a wireless jack. All my receivers are DVR's. Two 721's, two 508's and a 501. It was my understanding that...

    Can you see HD channels on a SD TV

    If I had a dish at 61.5 or 121 and subscribed to the HD package, would I be able to see the HD channels with a standard receiver such as a 508 or 721 on a standard definition TV? I have seen HD demo channels at Sears and it seems like they were on SD TV's as well as the HD TV's. Thanks...
