Can you change the software update time on hopper? Sent from my DROID RAZR using SatelliteGuys sweet app

I have a 722k that is unresponsive to all commands from the remote. Is there anyway i can hard reset the remote and reprogram it to the receiver? Sent from my DROID RAZR using SatelliteGuys sweet app

Dish requires 5 degrees of buffer Sent from my DROID RAZR using SatelliteGuys sweet app

Not bad advice given that most techs set the receiver resolution to 1080.

So how do you draw this arbitrary line in the sand? If I am a customer for 3 years and never made a svc call should it be free? How long is long enough before you should deserve a free call (rhetorical). Point is, everyone at some point will have to have service. It is tough to say some should...

Typically that is a result of intermittent interference. I have seen several systems where the signal gets lost from a tree limb being blown just the right way. I have also seen aircraft disrupt service. If you have perfect LOS and aren't near the airport I would bet money it is either the mount...

The hopper remote uses the same technology as the 922. Each remote has a unique MAC address that cannot be changed. If you experience delay with the remote replace batteries and unplug all hopper/joeys for 10 sec then test. If that doesn't work i would investigate possible signal interference...

Since you switched the cable ports on the switch its either the cable to the switch or the lnbf ( assuming nothing is wrong with the dish mount itself)

Call cust svc and ask to speak with loyalty. If anyone will do new cust pricing they will. It seems foolish to leave over one channel but thats your call.

This is the only setup where you have total control. If you integrate a qam setup residents need a receiver in each unit. This gives them flexibility with programing and allows for use with existing cable. The smatv (pronounced smat-vee) setup described above essentially turns you into a small...

I have the same problem with an emerson hdtv. Replaced tv, hdmi, and joey still with issue.

I cant speak to direct but dish will run all the cable. They can run cable to cottage. Have dig safe come mark utilities and they should run cable there at no charge. Just tell the cust srvc rep what you want and they will advise you of options. They also shouldnt charge for wall fishes (was...

Did you check the coax connection at the sep? If unscrewing it helps you could just have a bad connector. If you contact dish ask for a triplexer, it will reduce the need for a diplexer and sep. The fewer components the more reliable the signal.

The 1000.4 no longer has WA capabilities. Get a 1000.2 with an EA twin. You can get the WA lnb and use whichever arc gives best los. The 1000.2 also is a smaller dish so you will take up less space in the rv. Either way the .2 provides the most flexibility for travel
