    H25 and DECA setup

    We have been having trouble with playback from the DVRs and the CSR stated that it is supposed to have one. I was looking online for wiring diagrams, but I am having trouble deciphering what I need exactly.

    H25 and DECA setup

    I have a system with 2 HR24s and 1 H25. My wiring looks like below. I am not positive about the Power Inserter part; I am not at home and am trying to do this from memory. Do I need another DECA unit for the H25? --------------> Splitter ---------------> Power Inserter ----------> HR24 From...

    Why no AMC HD? (Now Live Sept 9th)

    Does anyone know if I have AMC in one of my favorite channel lists will the HD version automatically replace the SD version or will I have to do that manually?

    Please explain how D* gets paid for airing this ad. Who is paying them?

    Playlist Sorting is not Permanent

    I agree it is not hard to fix. I was just wondering if there was something I was missing in the setup somewhere that would change the default and not have it get reset.

    Playlist Sorting is not Permanent

    I just got a new D* system with two HR24s installed last week. I like to have the playlist sorted alphabetically (A-Z), but neither box is keeping that sort. It works for awhile, but then a day or so later the default sort by date is restored. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

    Upgrade 625 to 722

    I just did this recently. I had an old 522 that is being replaced with a 722 for no cost with a new 24 month agreement. They are shipping the new one for me to hook up myself.

    Moving to a neighborhood that doesn't allow dishes

    Here's the problem with that. Who decides what the reasonable time is? What if I like my lawn a little longer than the average person?

    "HD: normal" or "stretch" on Dish remote?

    So, are people switching back and forth between Normal and Stretch when you are changing from HD to SD? I just leave mine on normal all the time.

    I had my dish for 61.5 installed on Friday afternoon. It was a very quick job, and everything went well. I was loving watching football and baseball in HD this weekend!

    I just called last night, and I am scheduled for Friday afternoon to get the wing dish installed. I am in the Des Moines area. They wanted to charge me, although I never could get them nailed down on how much. I got them to do it for free for extending our contract out to 24 months from now...

    Dish has dropped local ABC- prorated credit?

    Can someone explain to me why networks charge cable and satellite providers to rebroadcast their channels in the first place? This is a serious question, as I don't understand it. What extra costs could the local networks actually incur just to provide their signal to the carrier? It seems to...
