    Purchase a Dish receiver to work with EHD

    I was thinking about buying a DISH receiver to work with my EHDs in the garage. Distance is too far for the Joey to work. Idea is to hook it up as the main receiver, get it operational with the EHDs and then move it. If I understand correctly, the recordings on a DVR/EHD will play if the...

    Buy DISH receiver to use only with shows on DVR

    Thank you. I have been a DISH customer for 20+ years, and I have EHD's that were recorded with earlier models like a 722. I currently have Hopper with Sling for 5 years. It never occurred to me that the older EHD's might not play. I will have to hook the old ones up to see it they work...

    Buy DISH receiver to use only with shows on DVR

    Thanks. When the signal goes away in a heavy rain, the pop up says you can watch something on the DVR. Is that not same as being disconnected?

    Buy DISH receiver to use only with shows on DVR

    I have a lot of shows on EHD's. Can I buy a receiver, register it with DISH, enable it for EHD, and then disconnect it and use it only to view the shows on the EHD's? If, so, there are lots of receivers for sale on eBay. Which would best serve this purpose? Thank you

    Can I buy a Dish receiver to only use for EHD viewing?

    I'm a current dish customer with a lot of recordings. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to get a another receiver on which to watch them. Can I buy a Dish receiver on which to watch only EHD's? Thanks.

    32.0 UHF 2g remote

    I'm on the system info screen where it tells me that one remote is paired. It says to pair another remote, press the SAT button. Yes, the remote may be toast. But what are the odds? The remote performed the code clearing task perfectly. I got the descending tone. Then I pressed Input and...

    32.0 UHF 2g remote

    Nada. Pressed 50+ times at varying speeds on the Info screen with the remote touching the antenna. If I wanted to pair any of the other buttons with a device, I can't because those buttons won't blink either. Thanks.

    32.0 UHF 2g remote

    Yes, thanks. I am on the System Info screen when trying to pair. I have a 40, but the 32 is supposed to work. When I hold the SAT button down on the 40 for 3 secs, the other 3 buttons flash red and the green SAT button starts to blink. I think that means it is in pairing mode. The 32 won't...

    32.0 UHF 2g remote

    Hi. Searched first but nothing found. I recently got the Hopper and it is exceeding expectations. Go figure. The folks on the Dish Support forum have been extremely helpful. I have a remote problem that we can't seem to solve, so I'm casting a wider net to see if someone can advise what to...

    wireless joey........not many threads

    I had the Hopper and a wireless Joey installed a week ago. At first the installer was unhappy with the signal strength, around 35-40 if I remember correctly. We were able to elevate the Joey about 3 feet to the top of hutch, and the signal strength improved to around 45. Thursday I got spotty...

    Looking for a fan to cool my 722K

    I have used a twin fan laptop cooler unit under my 722 for years. Unit is in a closed cabinet with vent holes above and below. Cooler runs off the rear USB port of the 722. It is virtually silent.

    Hopper vs 922, 722 (non k), 211 w/DVR EHD

    My 922 got the dreaded black screen/high fan disease today. Ray C on the Dish Support forum says he'll get me a replacement 922. I have been watching all the Hopper issues and would consider it. I am sure my request for clarifications has been dealt with elsewhere and I promised I looked. Here's...

    Any Way to Salvage Programming from Dying Receiver

    If not in voilation of my Dish contract, would someone explain how to "clone" an EHD? When I plugged an EHD from my 722 into my computer, the computer didn't see the drive at all. I remember seeing that the formatting done by Dish to the new EHD when it's connected is Linux.

    Bundling

    A bit of a ramble here, but I really could use some advice. Long time Dish Network user (1998). All in all, no big complaints. But it's geting expensive. Like $125.00/mo and no premium channels. When you add in Comcast high speed Internet at $75.00, and an ATT land line for $60.00, you're...
