I was thinking about buying a DISH receiver to work with my EHDs in the garage. Distance is too far for the Joey to work. Idea is to hook it up as the main receiver, get it operational with the EHDs and then move it. If I understand correctly, the recordings on a DVR/EHD will play if the...

Thank you. I have been a DISH customer for 20+ years, and I have EHD's that were recorded with earlier models like a 722. I currently have Hopper with Sling for 5 years. It never occurred to me that the older EHD's might not play. I will have to hook the old ones up to see it they work...

Thanks. When the signal goes away in a heavy rain, the pop up says you can watch something on the DVR. Is that not same as being disconnected?

I have a lot of shows on EHD's. Can I buy a receiver, register it with DISH, enable it for EHD, and then disconnect it and use it only to view the shows on the EHD's? If, so, there are lots of receivers for sale on eBay. Which would best serve this purpose? Thank you

I'm a current dish customer with a lot of recordings. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to get a another receiver on which to watch them. Can I buy a Dish receiver on which to watch only EHD's? Thanks.

I'm on the system info screen where it tells me that one remote is paired. It says to pair another remote, press the SAT button. Yes, the remote may be toast. But what are the odds? The remote performed the code clearing task perfectly. I got the descending tone. Then I pressed Input and...

Nada. Pressed 50+ times at varying speeds on the Info screen with the remote touching the antenna. If I wanted to pair any of the other buttons with a device, I can't because those buttons won't blink either. Thanks.

Yes, thanks. I am on the System Info screen when trying to pair. I have a 40, but the 32 is supposed to work. When I hold the SAT button down on the 40 for 3 secs, the other 3 buttons flash red and the green SAT button starts to blink. I think that means it is in pairing mode. The 32 won't...

Hi. Searched first but nothing found. I recently got the Hopper and it is exceeding expectations. Go figure. The folks on the Dish Support forum have been extremely helpful. I have a remote problem that we can't seem to solve, so I'm casting a wider net to see if someone can advise what to...

I had the Hopper and a wireless Joey installed a week ago. At first the installer was unhappy with the signal strength, around 35-40 if I remember correctly. We were able to elevate the Joey about 3 feet to the top of hutch, and the signal strength improved to around 45. Thursday I got spotty...

I have used a twin fan laptop cooler unit under my 722 for years. Unit is in a closed cabinet with vent holes above and below. Cooler runs off the rear USB port of the 722. It is virtually silent.

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. We checked the credit reports and will file a fraud alert with them. We received a very nicely written letter from the Fraud Division of DTV today saying that my MIL is off the hook, and to pls let them know if there are any future complications like...

Update - We got this big package in the mail from DTV. A bunch of forms to fill out and had the signature notarized. We did not file a police report since none of the charges hit MIL's credit card. Faxed the forms to DTV in Calif. So far no response. Will give it another week and then...

Spoke with their identity theft div just now. Actuall has a separate 8000 nbr....(800) 860-8542. Kinda difficult conv as I guess they are trained not to believe you. Anyway, I had to give the last 4 nbrs of her SS#. It looks like the acct was opened in 2007. But she has not been paying for...
