Having a problem with my Hopper. My old 722k was connected using the Homeplug system with a modem in the wall where my Uverse gateway is. Worked fine with my Sling adapter But since the Hopper doesn't have that I have had to use the wireless network in my house. Unfortunately no matter what...

Hello Dish guys, Well it is over a month since I ordered my sling adapter and I still don't see anything on my online account about a rebate. I do see that the adapters are now down to $30. Also, my USB network adapter is pretty much worthless any chance that I can swap it for a wired one?

I ordered it with a CSR and made sure I he understood I was going with the rebate. Mentioned it like a 1/2 dozen times.

I just set up my slingbox....freaking love it! How long for the rebate notice to show up on my online account?

Anyone else having a problem where you can't record on two OTA channels? I had a case the other day where I wanted to record 4 events. 2 on the Sat tuners and 2 on the OTA and I didn't get one of the OTA feeds. Edit: Forgot to say, I have a 722k.

This sounds like a great deal. Any idea how long the rebate is taking before I present this to the wife for confirmation on buying the adapter? Also, any of you Dish Network helpers from Hilliard?

I do think it is funny that the same people that own their equipment....that want to pay less then the leased receiver guys...are also the same people that want the receiver replaced for free if they break down...

As of right now....$5 per month for the 508. But, as of 2/1 the rate for the 508 will be $7 a month. Mind you that you only will get charged as long as the rcvr is activated. So, if you deactivate it when you are not at the other house, then you are good to go. You should be able to...

The TV2 Connection fee is there for all dual recievers. It is basically the charge for the second TV tuner on the reciever. It is always $5. The $7 charge mentioned earlier was for a second HD reciever only. There is not any difference on TV2 Connection fee for HD or SD. The only way to...

I had the same problem but fortunately those mini series are played on and on and on so was able to manually set a timer for later that night

Dish leases because the average person can't afford to drop 400-600 down to set up a 4 rm set up on their own. The only reason for the lease is so Dish can recupe the upfront cost for the receivers, dish/LNB and installation. Even then, it typically takes more the 24mths to actually pay off...

If your locals are on 129, I seriously doubt they would set you up with an EA dish. Too much hassle to set up 2 dishes, when 1 will work fine for your service.

You need to be on Dish DVR Advantage program to get the free tv2 connection fee on the 1st rcvr. Typically, you will only see that on new customers or when you do an upgrade because it requires a 24mth commitment.

Yea he has a valid argument, but Dish is a regulated company by the FCC. They have very strict guidelines on what they can do in situations like this. I assure you the last thing they want to do is force a customer to jump through a ton of hoops to fix a problem like this. Still that is why...

No offense, but isn't that true for just about all service related people?

Freaking LOVE it! Sold my dad on upgrading to 250 and multi-sport package when he stayed over one whole Sunday to watch it.

Don't forget to run a check switch test to make sure your rcvr is working with their dish.

The key is that every time you move a rcvr from one location to another you need to run a check switch test. You can find it on most rcvrs by going to Menu>6>1>1>check switch. Then run the test on the Install Summary page. What that does is sync the rcvr to that specific dish equipment so...

It is all a mute point anyways. There is practically nothing being shot, supplied or broadcasted in 1080p. The only way to see 1080p right now is in PPV and/or VOD. So who cares. I will be impressed with the first company that supplies a standard channel in 1080p. Anything else and we are...

You can't. Wrong chips. The 612 is UHF but uses a certain silver chip at the bottom of the remote. Meanwhile, the 722 is looking for the blue 2 UHF chip.

The best install I have seen for 'free' was a 722k and a 222k. I wouldn't expect an upgrade from a 222k to a 722k would be more then $50-100.

HDnet is part of the Platinum package which is now bundled in with standard HD programing....if you add it new....

or get an old dvd or vcr and hook the coaxial to that and then a RCA cable to the monitor.
