I would have been fine with those suggested solutions. But those ideas were not mentioned. In the past I have swapped my own receivers that went bad with no problems. Thanks for the feedback, I understand. Norm

Yes, Telephone Tech support had me look at that. After they replaced the dish and LNBs from a 1000.4 to 1000.2 Eastern Arc, that did not fix it. But changing the receiver did fix it.

I should clarify that point. Infact that is what he said, that he couldn't go on the roof without a harness. I didn't watch him go on the roof to say that he did or did not use one. My point was that he was complaining, to me, that the dish was on my roof. Placed there by previous Dish...

Thanks Dishman! Good stuff!

Thanks for the replies. I thought the first Tech could have saved a lot of time if he had checked inside to see that the signal strength on the cable was okay, just the receiver was bad. Although he said they wanted to change the dish anyway. Not sure why. Seems like the dish and LNB was...

I've had Dish for coming up on 10 years. A happy customer, and have not had any problems in several years. But I just had a 2-part service call completed, and it left me somewhat scratching my head wondering. I have a 722 DVR. Occasional pixelation and lost signal started several months...

Thanks for your answer, sir. I am in the same boat. I have 2 PPV certificates that expire soon.

I was following (not too closely) the problem with 77, and I had read in another thread in a post today by Matt@Dish that 77 was supposed to have HD PPV ch 508-515. So you're saying ch 520 is the same situation?

Tonight I was thinking about ordering a PPV movie. Went to the dish website, and noticed the movie I wanted to watch was on ch 520. This channel is not in my guide. Doing some digging on the satelliteguys channel chart, found this ch is on the 119W bird. On the other hand I also see movies...

Looks good. I say the more information you can get without calling a CSR, the better. I also, as others have said, found out I have 2 PPV coupons issued 7/29/10. Does anyone have any idea why I got these? Not that I'm complaining!

I have America's Top 200, and pay $10/month for HD Silver, NO Platinum. I have had autopay and paperless billing for years. I think I already meet all the requirements. Do I need to take any action? Or does this mean if I call up and ask, my bill will drop by $10/month for the same...

[Rant on] Actually that has never made sense to me. When I set a new timer, it is a good bet I care about recording that show more than older timers I may have forgotten about. Please Dish Network, make the priority default to number 1 for ALL new timers! [Rant off]

In plain english it means nothing to you now. The most likely outcome of all of this is no impact ever to any Dish customers in any way. It simply means E* will probably pay a chunk of money to Tivo, either to buy a license or buy the company. E* has the money to do either one, and the bottom...

I don't think it's possible either. If you are expecting the DVR to show 50 minutes recorded instead of 60, it may be lying to you. There is a thought somewhere in my memory that I may have seen this happen before on my DVR. Try watching the recording and see if the screen saying: "Part of...

Dish does have this working now. (In Beta). Go to SlingGuide Login and click on "Sign up to participate."

Sorry Laddyboy, I didn't see your answer before I posted mine!

I thought if your 722 is new enough it doesn't need a card because the built-in "card" already has the new encryption.

It's been reported before that many independent retailers call and identify themselves simply as "Dish Network". They don't disclose the fact they are independent retailers.

I have the Terk IR extender you show in picture #1 and it works fine for me all the time. I use it to control a JVC DVD player, a JVC VCR, and a Radio Shack Amplifier. I also have my 722 in the same stack, but I'm using a UHF remote, so the 722 has both the IR and the UHF signal, so I can't...

A Nielsen article, dated Dec 11, 2008 says 23.3% of households own at least 1 HDTV set. Another article, in betanews, dated April 24, 2008 tells of studies by ABI and Magid that show among HDTV ownwers, only 56% or 70% (respectively) have access to HD programming. Let's take the middle ground...

That doesn't sound good. I'm actually looking forward to Dish Online scheduling. I hear it's coming "soon". How about the tax question? If they charged me tax that I don't pay now it would erase more than half of the expected savings. Thanks for the responses. -Norm

I received a letter from my TelCo/DSL provider offering to bundle my existing Dish Network account with them, so all 3 services would be on one bill. According to the letter I will save $10 per month for doing so. I have to agree to a 24 month commitment, but assuming I plan to keep the...

This is a feature that doesn't exist today, but is being talked about as possibly coming "soon" to the 622/722 DVRs. Search for DishOnline to see what has been said about it.

The only real difference between the 522 and 625 is the size of the hard drive, determining how many hours you can record. They are both dual tuner, dual output DVRs. I have a 625 and I love it.
