Hi all. I've been a Dish Network customer over 20 years now and was surprised at the lack of "loyalty" options they give customers like me, but I stick with Dish because I haven't found anything better. So I have a Hopper with Sling (and OTA adapter) and Super Joey. Recently started having...

I am also interested in a possible upgrade from 722 and 622 setup to Hopper setup.

Hi all, the last couple of major software updates for my 622 have caused issues with the timers. Specifically some of the timers start recording old episodes of the shows. The guide shows that the episodes are in fact old, so I don't think the guide data is wrong. I have done a full power off...

Not just you. My 622 has had this problem on and off for over a year now. Usually when I determine that a timer is recording old episodes even though it is set to only record new, I just have to delete the timer and recreate it. This hasn't been a problem until recently and I believe it...

Funny, this reminds me of my first dish receiver (wow, that would be 11 years ago now!) that did not have IR control. I found specs online to add on an IR receiver (by soldering on to the main board in the box) so I could us it with my Pronto remotes...we've come a long way baby! I would use...

Yes. I am using an Airlink101 ap431w access point (Access Points – AP431W) to connect my 622 to my wireless network. Works great. I actually have a second one of these upstairs for my Xbox360. Great little box for $30 (got it on sale at Fry's).

Just an update. I was seeing constant LNB drift numbers of -10 for 129 and -6 for both 110 & 119, so I called Dish. They sent out a tech and replaced all the LNB's. Now I have no drift and I am waiting until the next hot day to see if the 721 looses channels or not.

Our 721 has been doing the same thing, but mostly in the mid-day. When I get home to work on it the channels are working again. I will have to check the drift on our 622.

Another one here. My wife called me and said a bunch of channels weren't working. I got home at lunch and found that ALL my SD channels were locked (previously we just locked out the adult channels). All the HD channels were fine. The kicker is that NO ONE KNEW THE 4 DIGIT UNLOCK CODE BUT ME...

I am seeing this issue again on my 622 even on timers I have "reset" by setting to "new episodes" again. Resetting the timer seems to work for a week or so, but then it will eventually start recording all the shows again. Anyone else having this problem?

I upgraded on Thursday and the installer came with a 622...

Yea, I have been having the same issues with our 721 (connected to a second tv in another room for the kid's). Guide data not always there, black screen when turned on until I channel up/down or go to the guide, S-L-O-W response to all commands, and more. I was hoping that they would fix this...

If it is IR controlled, the Harmony can probably control it. At worst, you will have to teach the Harmony the correct controls using the switcher's original remote control. At best, the Harmony database will already have the switcher available as a device you can add.

I have been using a Harmony 880 for my system (with a 942 receiver) for about a year now. Previously I used Pronto remotes. The Harmony does what it is named, create harmony in the home for wives that want simple easy control of our big A/V systems. As Ganthet said, you will need to program a...

Hmmm...my 942 is working via HDMI with no problems today...

No signal problems here either. But I have noticed that since one of the latest updates that one of the previous fixes is broken again - after an update some months ago, anytime I started playing back a recording after a pause, the program would skip back a second or two and the audio would be...

Sorry RandallA :) , but you should have said that "the Dish Network HD local channels in the SF Bay Area are terrible." I am one of the lucky ones that gets all the OTA SF Bay Area locals via an antenna on my roof and they all look great here. I have no idea why the Dish versions look so...

On our 942, we had an issue with "there is a problem with this recording" on a couple of DVR recordings. Force rebooting (press and hold power button) fixed the problem and the recordings played back even though there was no info (just an error message) on the info screen for the event. This...

Had an interesting problem this weekend during the STARZ preview and was wondering if anyone else experienced this. I setup the 942 to record a bunch of movies from several of the preview channels (285-29x?). Yesterday I went to watch a couple and found that most of the movies recorded on...

My DVD recorder is connected to TV2 composite out on my 942 - when in single mode (TV1 and TV2 outputs are the same) I get a squeezed image on the DVD recorder because the 942 is set to 16x9 for my TV. When I need to record, I switch to dual mode (TV1 and TV2 have separate outputs), and the...

I had some bad experiences with Skylite Satellite in Milpitas and will never use them again (long, old story). As for getting the 148 wing dish installed, if you can't wait for E*10 to come online completely for those channels, then you will need to have it installed by a local company. I have...

No, I am not referring to the info screen (I hate that they don't put descriptions of the shows on the 285-295 channels, but I learned two weeks ago with the HBO free weekend to just go to the normal channel locations to see the info). What I have a problem with is the actual channel guide not...

Ditto here, I have the channels and can tune them in but the guide only shows what is currently on, everything listed later is "No Info Available" (on all the channels, not just ShowHD)... When I was at home for lunch I was hoping to setup the DVR to start recording some shows this...

Had this problem last week, sort-of... Normally I record Lost and Invasion (which is right after Lost). Lost has run over a minute or two many times in the past, but since I recorded the show that was right after it too, I could just see the ending minute on the next recording. BUT, there was...

I just picked up a Maxtor 200Gb Touch II external USB drive (FAT32 format) and decided to test it on my 942. It picked up right away and when I went to manage it, it gave me an error about "not enabled" when I tried option 1 or 2 (transfer video from/to drive). It did however allow me to...
