    Sling Player Only $30?

    When did the Sling Adapter drop to $30? I looked when I first started DISH 4 months ago and it was at $100. Ordered it yesterday for only $30!

    DISH installed tomorrow

    It is a HTIB type. Not sure what happened, but powering it off and back on cleared up the issue. Not sure what happened.

    DISH installed tomorrow

    Install has been complete for a few hours. A few notes The installer did a great job outside, but was fairly messy inside. He left the boxes around the house for each receiver. The extra HDMI cables will come in handy, but I would have though he'd clean these up. The TV2 analog sd tv's...

    DISH installed tomorrow

    First hiccup. The 722k apparently doesn't like my Sony surround sound. Bypassed that for now, but hopefully this won't be an issue.

    DISH installed tomorrow

    The installer is still here. It appears we're in the final stages. Looks like he is done outside and now going around and connecting the receivers.

    Was your locals available via satellite? Mine are (Kansas City). I'd like to have the module to record all network programming over antenna, leaving the other tuners available for channel surfing.

    Tech is on site. Looks like a 722k, 211 and 612. What is the difference between a 722 and 722k?

    Cheapest option for 3rd receiver?

    Thanks for the idea. My biggest problem is how spread out the tv's are and remote control issues. If I could solve that, I could probably go that route.

    Cheapest option for 3rd receiver?

    So I called DISH back today. Sometimes it WHO you get in Customer Service. This time they quoted me $328 for a third receiver and installation. This seems fairly high considering I already have a Dish 1000 on my roof and wiring to all the rooms. Over $300? Jeez.

    Cheapest option for 3rd receiver?

    Unfortunately, with kids, the remotes would just be lost :-)

    Cheapest option for 3rd receiver?

    Thanks for the info. I assume that DISH will charge an installation fee to install this one, when they install the 'free' ones? If they do, then the price still comes out about the same. I certainly don't mind refurb/used equipment for the third receiver, just didn't think I would have to...

    Moving from TWC to Dish, need help!

    Thanks! Thanks for the advice. With the size of family that I have, it would not be uncommon to have 5 of the tv's to be going at the same time. Three dual tuner receivers would be ideal, but then were probably talking about $200+ in additional receiver costs, plus now Dish charges $30 for a...

    VS HD NHL ALert

    There is nothing like a hockey game in HD. Following the puck is so much easier and game just looks so much better. Of course, being here in Kansas City, it's tough to root for Pittsburgh and Nashville - both teams KC courted to come to our new Sprint Center. I want hockey in KC!!!

    DISH Match TWC Offer?

    I like DISH - very happy with them actually. But $50 a month is a lot of money. I was just curious if DISH matches any deals that other companies offer.

    How do I force a new software update?

    My installer told me that if you take a credit card, drivers license, gift card, etc - any card with a magnetic strip - and put it in the vacant smart card slot, then it will reboot and download the latest software. I've never tried it, but that is what I was told by my installer.

    TV2 output poor on 42" tv. Options?

    I decided to go this route. I was very kind and not threatening or verbally abousive at all. I explained that I was very hesitant to sign a contract for a replacement piece of equipment when I didn't have to for the other equipment. I also explained that UVerse and Time Warner in my area...
