My 612 and 722 still skip back 10 seconds.

I had to have a receiver replaced and made the mistake ok hooking it to the internet. A week later I got a call from DISH that they were sending a technician out realign my dish since it was reporting low signal on my locals. My dma is one of the newer, and has no HD, so I have to ‘move’ to one...

I’m with you. I have a 612 and a 722. 722 will record 2 programs off Sat and 2 off OTA. That’s all I need. Last time I had to have the 612 replaced, they did not want the old one back. I now have a 722 that appears to work great that I was given. For some reason Dish did not want it back when...

FWIW; An hour of OTA on my external hard drive can run 4-5 GB. 1 hour off sat will run .8MB to 2 MB. The .8mb will look terrible. Live sports seem to have the least compression.

Not me. I didn’t log in. But, if I needed to, It would not bother me to use that login.

Link appears ok. My Norton had no problem with it and it takes you to a login screen.

Forerunner to vip722. One of first mpeg4 DVR s.

I would suggest you stop everything until you verify you have voltage going to the LNB. Nothing is going to work until you have voltage. I would not do a ‘check switch’, until you do as I think that doing so will wipe out the necessary info for the receiver to have a chance to connect. Just go...

Antennas have really gone up in price. 4 years ago I paid about 90$ for a good Winegard. About the same as the HD7698P which runs about $150 today. Works great.

I gave up on cheaper antennas and spent about $90 on a nice Winegard. About a 7’ boom.

Is there any way you could have lost the connection between the dish and the Hopper? I recently had both those codes when the dish moved slightly durning high wind. Did you by any chance temporarily disconnect the RG-6 from the Hopper?

Way in the past, some used a usb powered drive with a powered usb hub.

My Sony’s tuner beats my Dish OTA. My ABC station drops out on my DISH DVR, but not on my Sony TV

I got mine hung on the wall and running Thursday. So far, it is a great set. PROBLEM RESOLVED: (edit) (When the TV speakers are turned OFF, you then have a choice of audio output modes other than PCM. Will be a pain, as my wife does not like to use the home theater system and relies on TV...

Thanks. 500 works.
