    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    DISH isn't listening DISH promised me ESPNU-HD years ago. By my count there are 21 posts in this thread with over 75 likes about ESPNU-HD. Still, no ESPNU-HD from DISH. DISH isn't listening and it won't happen.

    External Hard Drive Disk Check?

    Thanks for all the help. I have tried to restore it to the local DVR with no luck. It starts the copy process but will never finish. I am going to try the other suggestions and post back my results.

    External Hard Drive Disk Check?

    Is there any way of running some type of disk check on an external hard drive using the Vip722 receiver? I have only one football game stored on the external hard drive [Bama 36 - Auburn 0 - :-) ] and it will play until about halftime and then the system just locks up. I would hate to lose...

    According to the DISH web page, it is nothing to worry about. They state they will be ready and not to worry about messages during the tests. You can see the message under DISH News on the home page of the website.

    722 Remote / Sleep Problem

    SOLVED ---- No more problems I have found the problem with my remote controls. I have four Compact Fluorescent lights in the adjoining room to my Receiver. Since it is dark when I get home from work or when I wake up in the morning, I always turn these lights on. With these lights off or...

    Question for the DISH experts

    Thanks RandallA and mdonnelly. That makes sense. I just assumed the LNB would be pointing close to the satellites location. I love this forum because you guys are educating me well. I will still post the photos for reference.

    Question for the DISH experts

    Yes I will get a photo this afternoon when I get home. I have a very steep roof (12/12) and it is no where near the peak. It is on the lower section of my roof. I haven't climbed up there to see if it might be pointing over the peak, but from looking at it on the ground it appears like there...

    Question for the DISH experts

    I recently upgraded to a 722 receiver and HD programming. With the new receiver and programming I had to have an additional dish installed on my house. The new dish points directly at my roof. It is mounted on the back of my roof and points directly at it. I have no problem with the HD...

    722 Remote / Sleep Problem

    Well after a couple of days of testing, it makes no difference if I leave my TV off and try to turn on the receiver first. It still has the same problem. Nothing I can't live with, but very annoying. If anybody else has a suggestion, I will definitely try it.

    722 Remote / Sleep Problem

    My TV is a Toshiba 65H81 TheaterWide Projection. That is a good thought though. I will try to turn the receiver on before my TV to see if it makes a difference. I think I normally power on the TV first.

    722 Remote / Sleep Problem

    I do not have my receiver inside any type of case. It is sitting on top of my TV with nothing in front of it. I have a cable modem and wireless router but both are upstairs and my 722 is downstairs. I have tried three different remote controls (all DISH remotes) with the same results. The...

    722 Remote / Sleep Problem

    I have recently upgraded my receiver and programming to HD (LOVE IT). With my upgrades I received a new VIP722. I am having a problem and I would like to see if I am alone, or if anybody else is experiencing the same thing. When I leave the receiver off for a few hours and then try to turn it...

    Holiday HD Upgrade Question

    I had just upgraded to HD with a dual-tuner and it cost me more than $25, so I called DISH about it and they said the offer is not for dual-tuner receivers. They told me it would be $25 for a single tuner. So maybe they are cutting you a deal for being a good customer and offering it to you for...
