Its been many years since I was a DISH dealer and I am not up-to-date on the new tech now being used by DISH. We have recently purchased a new home in Florida that we will be using during the winter months only so I will be bringing down south my three receivers and then take them back to...

It's been a while since I played around with various dish's so just to make sure I don't damage the used 301 receiver I just got I'm going to ask about this. I know I can use a DirecTV single LNB dish with the 301 but what about the DirecTV 3 LNB dish. Are the switches compatible between the...

I need to add a VERY low cost receiver to my Dish Network account for about 3 months and don't want to buy a new one for such a short time. I don't need a dish, just the basic (non DVR) receiver and any needed card and remote. I was looking on ebay and one person says the card doesn't matter...

It is my understanding that the DirecTV birds at 101 & 105 are medium power birds and not the high power ones like 101,110,119 is this corect ? Also will DirecTV be adding national feeds to these satellites or just use them for spotbeam locals ? Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure why the 622 is not part of the Tivo lawsuit but in the event my 721 is shut down I will be ordering a 622. Will be needing one soon anyway even without the Tivo crap so I was wondering if it will work with my DISH 500 that has an old legacy quad that is feeding my721 and 5000.

I should say "I wish the programmers would keep hands off" the 721. They did it again with the new software upgrade. I was just getting use to the mess they caused a while back with the the old software now I have to go thru all the new bugs again. The worst of them is when I am making a DVD...

What do you Echostar junkies think the numbers will be when E* announces earnings on Tuesday ?

Here's a guy that says the DVD's you burn (standard or new HD DVD's) won't last for more than 5 years. http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20060110/tc_pcworld/124312;_ylt=AirPq7nGN03AOX7Bp8SC.ySs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3ODdxdHBhBHNlYwM5NjQ-

After 2 months of crappy operation my 721 is dead (the DVR part anyway). I can't believe E* made me go thru 3 levels of tech support (reboot twice at each level taking 15 min for each reboot) before agreeing with me that the hard drive is shot. Ever since the last firmware upgrade a couple of...

Since the last software update last week on my 721 I have had nothing but problems. Half of my event timers have failed and 25% of the rest have caused my 721 to freeze up and crash the receiver. Every time those %#$%$#% programmers at E* do an upgrade (I should call it a downgrade) it takes a...

Since E* added some new channels lately my 721 has started acting up again. It's been a few weeks now since I have had something to bitch about with my 721 but just in the last few days it has turned back into a POS. I have done all of the usual things like rebooting (soft & hard) and praying...

Turned on the TV this A.M. and found that all 80 hours of recordings on my PVR were gone. I rebooted the 721 and the recorded programs reappeared. A few minutes later they were gone again. Again I rebooted it and you guessed it, they were back. This time they stayed and I have my fingers...

My 5000 went dead and I mean dead, no power of any kind. Talked to E* and they gave RMA for replacement under "Service Agreement" for just the cost of shipping then I decided to plug it in again and the stupid thing started to work again (we tried that with tec support and it did not work)...

I have a 5000 acting up but I wonder if E* still has any available to replace it under the "Service Agreement". If it gets replaced, I need the replacement to have a UHF remote. I don't have any extra options with it (can't remember the options but I know it had some, HDTV ?) so I wonder what...

The clicking noise that my 721 hard drive makes has been getting louder and louder since the last software update. Anyone else have that problem?

I have been trying to do a search but the only thing that will come up from the search is: Friday December 30, 1994 AUX 10:16 AUX 10:16 AUX 10:16 AUX 10:16 AUX 10:16 I have tried to to Reboot but nothing helps. EVERY SINGLE TIME E* DOES A SOFTWARE UPDATE THEY SCREW IT UP...

NFL gave DirecTV the Sunday Ticket package for another 5 years, it cost D $3.5 Billion.

Since I got the new software for my 721 last week I am now only getting 6+ days on my OSG. If they keep to this I am going to be PO'd. Anyone else having this problem? I have also been having a bunch of other problems since then.

I just got a new software (L172HABD-N) download over the weekend and now the red message light on the front of the 721 is on but no message appears in the the message center section of the menu. Anyone knows whats going on and how I can shut it off. I also checked the PVR list to see if it had...

I have tried to use a couple of IR remotes to control my 721. IR only DISH remotes as well as a universal remote that say they will work with the newer DISH receivers. Does the 721 have IR receiver turned on all of the time or is a change needed for it to work.

I have about 75 Vivastar DVD-R's that all of a sudden are going bad after two years of use (one SP recording on each). These are the only ones going bad out of about 125 of various types. Only the the Vivastar and not one of the others. They all worked fine in all my players and computers...

Today I went into my PVR program list and the remaining time was 11 hours (as it should have been) but when I selected one of the programs for playback the system rebooted and when it came back I was down to 0 hours remaining. I wonder if dish decided to partition the hard drive so they can...

I have a home theater customer that was next on a list for a DirecTV HD Tivo at Ultimate Electronics and was told that a hold has been put on the unit and they probably would not start shipping again until September. Take it for what its worth.

Has anybody else had problems with the digital audio on any of the hughes receivers, mainly the HD units ? I installed a new hughes HD receiver and a Sammy SD receiver but only the digital audio from the Hughes unit is breaking up. The picture on both are also OK and it (the audio breakup)...
