Will do, when I get home from work. If we can simply get switched over to Eastern, that would be great.

Live in SW Wisconsin (53533) and have a 1000.2 I believe, installed a couple years ago, pulling in 110, 119 & 129. Knew it was only a matter of time, but a tree has grown to the point of causing signal issues now. Kids have been telling me about it, but not for sure if just HD channels are...

Chrome worked for me this morning, but not Firefox.

I've not had any luck since trying to login last night. Same this morning, and again just now. Just goes to a white screen with a small box that says "dish NETWORK Processing request". Continues clocking like it's trying load, but never gets there. Running Firefox.

We signed up for DISH last January through The Dishstore, and currently have the AT100 pkg $32.99 + HD Ultimate $20.00 + DHPP $5.99 (which has been a promotional freebie for the past 12 mths). So, our bill will now be approx. $60/mth. We have a VIP222, but over the holidays bought a second...

We have an older Dell desktop w/ XP, that was just used as a second computer for the kids to mess with. It hadn't been connected to the internet for a couple years, but we just got wireless internet service yesterday, and I had them run a cable to it. All seemed fine, high speed internet was...

Our daughter is a freshman in high school, would like a laptop for school work. This would be the first laptop in our house, so not up on what to look for, or avoid. Don't want to waste money on more than we need, just wondering if anyone has a brand and/or model they would recommend. Want...

Very useful info, thanks. With regard to our closest neighbor @ maybe 1000', what is the furthest distance away that someone with a laptop might be able to "tap in", if I didn't happen to have my security setup properly? Is that solely dependent upon how far the router sends a signal?

We just have the VIP222, no dvr. Does that just get hardwired to the router then, in lieu of a phone line connection, to avoid the $5/mth fee? Not that we do, but could we then order PPV, just as if a phone line connected? As far as security with a wireless, we live in a rural area, closest...

We finally have a high speed wireless option available to us, so are making the long awaited jump from dial-up in a couple weeks. Although not required, our provider suggested incorporating a wireless router in the house. Not familiar with routers AT ALL, so tried doing some research, gets...

Recently subscribed to DISH through the DishStore, and wanted to extend a big THANKS to Scott, Claude & Mike for their great customer service through the entire process. I had e-mailed several questions before and after, as well as posting a few threads out here, and the responses from all were...

New to DISH w/ a 222. Haven't experienced video freeze, but has "locked up" a few times, ignoring either remote. I've just been cutting power from the surge protector for a minute or so, and then powering up again. Functions fine again once it acquires signal. What is the difference between...

Interesting. We just got our DISH installed a couple weeks ago, with I believe the 1000 w/ 3 lnb's @ 110, 119 & 129. Our HD channels clarity is not quite what I had expected, so just got an HDMI cable today that I ordered, but doesn't seem to make a big improvement. I have a 500 system...

I believe my ground point meets code, without question. The #10 wire from the GB is clamped to the copper water line feeding the house, within 6 inches of it's entry through the concrete basement wall. That line runs directly from my well, which is located about 15' away from the house, and is...

I appreciate everyone's input, from both sides, pros & cons to either option I guess. Reading through this has actually given me a new idea, which may not do anymore than to ease my mind regarding the possible fire hazard, but even if that's really all it does, it will be worth the effort. I...

Just had dish installed last week. I had done some research on grounding, and was expecting the ground block be placed outside near the feed through point, but installer suggested putting it inside, to avoid moisture problems. That sounded logical to me, so we mounted it on the basement...

We just got our system installed this week, with a 222. I had asked a couple questions earlier under the "technical discussions" thread prior to installation, and I found others who agree that the 222 is pure junk, "the biggest POS dish has ever released" to quote. It was suggested I change my...

Very much appreciate your input on this topic!! I'm new to this, so wasn't aware of being able to use two different receivers with a single dish to get the same end result. I'm more comfortable with that setup anyway, going with simple equipment that's been around and has the bugs worked out...

Thanks much for that note, I'll certainly see what my options are at this point. What's the 211/301 combo?

We are on the schedule next week for Dish install, just wondering what type of cabling is normally included with a dual HD receiver, from receiver to tv's? Is an HDMI cable the best option for tv1 (an HDTV), in which case, can we expect that to be included without extra cost? Our SD tv2 is on...

If the phone connection serves no purpose, why do they stick ya' with a fee for not being connected?? That's a scam.

We are new subscribers to Dish, still waiting for install. Ordered an HD dual tuner w/o dvr (ViP222?). From what I've read, it needs to be connected to a phone line at all times, to avoid a $5/mth fee of some sort?? Other than not being able to order movies, will the receiver still function...

New to dish & forum New Dish customer, been surviving on OTA only up to now. Install schedule was apparently booked out to mid-Feb for our area, so haven't seen it yet to give any feedback. Found this forum priceless in doing upfront research. Find myself accessing this every day or two now...
