    Tell me why I should wait on the XIP receiver system?

    I am pretty sure you can. My sister in law has Directv with the whole home system and I am pretty sure she can pause and rewind any TV in the house.

    Tell me why I should wait on the XIP receiver system?

    Thanks for the input guys! I think I will probably at least wait until CES, just to see what Dish is planning to bring to the table... but i also agree that it will most likely come with the "coming soon" tag, which will be by no means reliable... though I agree, that you have to figure Dish...

    Tell me why I should wait on the XIP receiver system?

    I have been a Dish customer for a little over 5 years... for the most part, I have really been pleased with programming, price, service, and equipment. I started with a 622 and upgraded to a 922 not long after it came out. The family is growing, which also means that 2 tuners on a DVR is...

    Temporarily Add extra 722

    Ok that makes more sense... I was over at my fathers house yesterday and there is definitely just one line coming from the LNB... that line runs to his basement where there is one of these ground blocks or switches. The installer did that i guess because the house was prewired for cable with...

    Temporarily Add extra 722

    @TheKrell- He has the same programming package I do (in fact he may have the one above me, so that should be fine). And I dont want to permanently have the box in my house.. I just want it for this weekend for the games. @CJPC- What you said is what i figured... I know technically I am not...

    Temporarily Add extra 722

    I am having a big March Madness party this weekend to watch all the games with some friends. Now that the games are spread out over CBS and the Turner stations, there will be as many as 4 games on at the same time. I currently just have 1 922, so I only have 2 tuners and OTA. My father...

    Looing to buy a 922 and have a few questions?

    Hawker152 is right... You can use TV2, but you have to be "slinging" on a computer or iphone or something. When you are slinging, the box is put in dual mode like a 622 or 722... as soon as you stop slinging to a device, it puts the box back into single mode (and if you try to push the mode...

    Software Update Release Notes 10/19/10

    What exactly does "WiFi" mean for the 922? Also noticed that the 722 got Sling adapter support... What about Sling extender support for the 922?

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    At least back then if you couldn't get the Braves game, it was as simple as you needing a better antenna... now its because some greedy business executives are sitting around sipping on their Starbucks latte while we lose the ability to watch games!

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Yes, you are right.. i just chatted with Dish and they claim that i can watch it on 444 in HD or on 9664 or 9667 in SD. Now if i can only find a way to watch the Braves and Phillies tonight without piggy backing off my neighbors Comcast!

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    I am trying to watch the Georgia vs. Colorado game here in Atlanta. My two FSN's (Fox Sports South 437, and Fox Sports Net 420) are obviously blacked out. But i would imagine that Dish is carrying this game on Fox Sports Rocky Mountain in Colorado? When i search my guide, the game shows up on...

    Now how about passing a "Greedy Networks and TV Providers have to dispute over contract agreements without screwing the end user" law

    I wouldnt trust anything from any FSN's twitter accounts.. they are doing what they have been doing.. trying to scare you, so you go complain to Dish.

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    Yes both of your FSN's will be gone... I just chatted with Dish and the CSR had no clue that these channels were missing. He did say that he personally thinks that Fox is bluffing and wont pull the channels... they will most likely accept the extension, but who knows. I think i agree... fox...

    Dish Could Be Droping More Channels Soon

    It's kind of a toss-up... Fox knows dish could lose customers over this... BUT I Dish knows that Fox could have some VERY unhappy advertisers that have paid for commercials on their stations that will not be seen by millions of Dish customers... I think both parties are equally to blame. Fox is...

    Dish Could Be Droping More Channels Soon

    No need to be a smart a$$... i was just curious as to whether anyone had any news about this one... its a little more important to me than the Disney deal a few weeks ago!

    Dish Could Be Droping More Channels Soon

    Dish/Fox Deal Has anyone heard any details on whether a deal is going to be done between Dish and Fox before the October 1st deadline for FX, Nat Geo, and (most importantly this time of year) Fox Sports networks? Seems ridiculous that Dish is the only TV provider out there that hasnt made a...

    OK Dish, where is the freaking Sling catcher?

    If you are that dissatisfied, you might want to consider going ahead and leaving. The sling catcher will most likely incur a fee very similar to having an additional 211k. The only difference is, if the 211k is networked to the 922, you will have an extra tuner... meaning you can record 2...

    OK Dish, where is the freaking Sling catcher?

    I finally got fed up with waiting for the sling extender as well so i got online to see about adding a 211k... And not to be surprised, i quickly became disappointed with dish customer service (yes the self proclaimed "best in the industry")... they informed me that I had already used my yearly...

    Best Dish HD DVR Receivers for 2 HD Tvs

    I know its off topic, but are you sure about that.. i was actually thinking it was the other way around... you could add an EHD with a 222k but couldnt with a 211k? When you said you could do it with the 211, I just assumed you could do it on both...

    Best Dish HD DVR Receivers for 2 HD Tvs

    How far away are the two TV's? I had a 622 (have recently gotten the 922)... Our house has a crawlspace and the living room and bedroom are just separated by a wall, so when we upgraded to an HDTV in the bedroom, i bought a powered HDMI splitter and 30' HDMI cable from monoprice.com for around...
