Yes, I'm sure that wasn't it, as this lasted at least five minutes into the new episode. I've never experienced this before, normally the sound is 5.1 once into the new episode. Sounds like it was just me though. I have the recording from Sunday, so I'll investigate further.

Did anyone have problems with the audio this past Sunday ("Battle of the Bastards")? For about the first five or ten minutes, I only had two channel audio, then it switched to 5.1 surround about five or ten minutes in. This was on HBO-E. Then again yesterday, we watched the replay on HBO-E...

Try switching the modulation to a lower channel number. For years I had an SDTV connected to the TV2 output on my 622 and the picture was grainy. I just figured the signal from the modulator was a little weak. Then one day I changed the modulator to a lower channel number (something in the...

Western arc 1000.2 has a triple Dish Pro Plus LNB. I've tried three different separators, with no luck.

I've had a 622 receiver for years and it has never worked with a single cable fed into the DPP separator from my 1000.2. I've always had to run two separate cables from the 1000.2 to the 622's inputs, and not used the separator. It acts as though the band stacking/unstacking doesn't work...

12+ year customer with one 622 and three 211 receivers. Interested in one hopper and one Joey to replace the 622 and one of the 211s. Have subscribed to minimum of AEP for entire time I have been a customer (currently AEP + sports). Please contact me regarding an upgrade. Not under contract...

This document says the 722 does support working in a QAM system (in conjunction with a Q-box to remodulate QAM to QPSK). https://rweb.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/TechPortal/content/tech/equipment/qbox.shtml

Which of you posting in this thread have a degree in Electrical Engineering, and have some experience in designing high frequency circuits and transmission line analysis? I do. Some of you obviously don't, based on the idiotic statements being posted.

WRONG.

I think you will be fine. I've got a 200 foot run with 75 feet of 20 year old RG-59 in the walls of my house, and my 211 runs fine on it. A two-tuner receiver would be questionable with the stacked frequencies (DPP), but for a single tuner receiver I think you'll be fine.

I was losing just one tuner on my 622 and found this thread. I ran two cables to my 622 and all was fine (can't find a separator locally). I tried to get one from Dish Network (I pay for the service plan) and this is what happened: (04-21rf#) Danielle A.5HL: are you losing signal...

You're not looking hard enough.

MPEG-2 most definitely has interframe compression, otherwise it would just be like motion JPEG. MPEG-4 adds things like being able to pick from multiple frames for interframe compression, rather than just the previous one, and more flexible and powerful motion prediction options. I'm not...

You're grossly misinformed.

I don't believe this is a major issue for most people. I don't think I've ever launched the 64-bit version of IE on my 64-bit machines (the default is the 32-bit version), and AFAIK, every other browser is 32-bit, so I don't think many people are running into this. Why do you need to run a...
