I like Fox News but not enough to pay more for it. We've been thinking about dropping pay TV service for a while now. With the end of college football season and pending rate increases this might be the motivation to pull the plug.

My 722K has been freezing/locking up and rebooting for several months now. Had it replaced (twice). I never thought the OTA channels would have something to do with it. Why don't DISH support people know to have us check OTA channel signals? And why can't they fix the software so the whole...

Me too My 722k was locking up and rebooting about a month ago. Also, some of our recordings would suddenly stop playing half way through the show even though there were several minutes left in the recording. I complained to Dish and they sent out a "new" receiver. Now this one is doing the...

Ever since the switch from daylight savings time earlier this month I noticed that a program I have set to record each week stopped working. The Daily Schedule showed the timer was skipped because the event didn't exist. I checked with program's originator (BYUTV) and see that their online...

If you're trying to record more than two programs at the same time you'll want to connect your DVD recorder to your 222 receiver. You can then record two shows on the 722 and another one on the 222. Or you can purchase a OTA add-on module which will add two terrestrial tuners to your 722...

Didn't get an email. Checked my account and no new certificates there either :(

Dang! Had I know I could drop the plan without a penalty I would have done it a long time ago. It was $6 when I signed up then they raised it to $7 without warning.

Not sure about that. I have 3Mbs download speed but I can't seem to get the HD movies available via Internet on DISH to work. They start to download but never finish.

Is it really there or does DRA/DO just get it from your receiver?

I have to admit, if it wasn't for Sat Guys I would not be a DISH customer today. I've learned to check the forum whenever having a problem with my service to see if others are having the same problem. Too many CSRs saying "Oh no, we've never had anyone with that problem before ..."

Back to re-roofing and moving dishes ... Before I had my roof repaired six years ago I went ahead and moved the dish from the roof to the side of the house because I didn't want the roofers messing with it. I was surprised how easy it was to re-aim the dish. I had marked the azimuth and...

So I guess since I signed up with a good credit rating I don't have to worry about my account being downgraded if I miss payments. Awesome!!! :D:D:D

Pay TV might have to resort to some form of alacart some day to complete with Internet providers.

Got it via online chat. Thanks Sat Guys!

I had a similar experience when I upgraded to HD. I signed up for a 2 year contract (because my original contract was long done) and was told I would be getting a 722k receiver. But the installer came with a 625 (I think that's the model) and tried to convince me it was exactly the same except...

I think if it wasn't for this Sat Guys site I would not be a DISH subscriber today. All of the "nobody has ever had that problem before" responses from CSRs over the phone were making me think none of their equipment was designed to function in my house. It's nice to be able to go on this site...

This is problem is frustrating. I wish DISH would find a solution and fix it for good. In addition to the slow response problem my 722k periodically does not respond to the remote control at all. Some mornings, after the 3AM reboot, the only way I can get it to turn back on is to press the...

That's why I'm with DISH ... wait, did they just say prices were going up? :confused:

Remember to keep the metal plate that covers the hole where the OTA module goes. DISH might charge you for it if you return it without the hole covered. Besides a larger hard drive, the 722k also has programmable remote controlls. These remotes also allow you to backup your timers and...

Yep, get the same behavior on my 722k so swapping out your receiver won't solve a thing. Time to make another bug report to Dish.

I have groups set up like you do and I recently got the L668 software update. I'll check to see if my 722k does the same thing when I get home tonight and let you know.

I've noticed it happens usually while my 722k is recording something. I don't want to reboot and mess up the recording. It seems to go away after the recording ends so I don't think about rebooting then.

My 722k got L668 a few days ago. I didn't really notice the change except for the fact that I can, once again, bring TV1 out of standby mode with the remote control. :up :up No more fumbling with the front panel door to hit the power button.

Qwest had a similar service to FiOS here in Phoenix but they dropped the TV service and now just use it for broadband Internet. The gateway box had Ethernet jack for Internet service and three tuners so you could watch up to three different channels on three different TVs at the same time...

I've tried locking out the higher number channels to prevent duplicates in search listings. But then I see "Locked Event" in the schedule and recording lists even though it's on the lower channel. What's up with that?
