    VIP 722 receiver reboot issues - HELP!

    Ummmm.... wait a minute This would be plausible (in the word of "Mythbusters"), except I only have *one* DISH receiver in my household at home, and have the four hour-reboot issue myself. That leads me to believe that they may not have completely and accurately root-caused the bug. Guess...

    vip622 freezing up and resetting

    I don't have Google TV, Sling, Blockbuster, or any of the other premium packages, and I have the x:03 reboot issue. I'll try the disconnect-LAN cable method and see what happens. It's easy to test this hypothesis since the failure is so easy to produce.

    vip622 freezing up and resetting

    Misery loves company--at 3 minutes past the top of the hour I've been having the freeze/reboot issue as well with my 722. The most notable is at 8:03 a.m. PST. It's like clockwork; the morning conversation goes like this: Wife: Hey, the DISH just froze. Me: What time is it? Wife: 8-o--oh...

    Call from audit team

    Audits are a pain/inconvenience. It would nice if DISH would at least compensate those who successfully complete their audit with something, like say some free PPV coupons or some $$$ off of the next month's bill.

    Coming Soon: The DISH Sling Adapter!

    Ditto: I have had a Slingbox Solo on my 722 for at least a year or two now, and love it. The UI on the Windows Slingplayer app brings up a photo-realistic image of the 722's remote, so use is intuitive. Unless this Sling Adapter has a "killer app" that the standard off-the-shelf Slingbox...

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    MPEG4 upgrade done - great job! The DISH installer from InstallPro did a second visit today--this time with the requisite soffit mount for the second antenna for 129. It took him about two hours to replace the dual LNB on my existing DISH 500 antenna and install a second soffit mount to...

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    I haven't a clue; we didn't even get to pulling out the new second dish before we realized that things weren't going to happen last Sunday :( I'll follow-up after the installation scheduled for this Sunday (hopefully). Being that we're around 122° longitude, unless the beam is aimed...

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    The 622 (722?) will be a leased unit to replace my 942. However the CSR said that there would be no additional lease fee (?) so we shall see as the CSR also said that I needed to receive 110 and 119 only :-P

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    Well, the scheduled upgrade from my 942 to a 622 (722?) didn't happen today. Turns out that the three feedhorn single dish antenna will not work this far north (I'm in Oregon), so a second antenna--and mount--were needed to get the 129 slot. I have a nice clean installation where the dish...

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    No offers from DISH yet? I assume from the lack of replies that no one has received an unsolicited offer from DISH for an upgrade to an MPEG4 DVR to replace their 942? None of my DISH spam mail have contained such an offer yet. I'm curious to see what the unsolicited offer consists of...

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    Oregon 942 110/119 single dish upgrade path? Has anyone received a DISH-initiated upgrade offer for this program yet? I read through the posts so far and either didn't see--or outright missed (definitely a possibility)--seeing anyone who's gotten a DISH-initiated offer. I presently have a...
