No, unfortunately. I had used google and investigated all the results before I posted. None of the reported shortcuts work, with the exception of channel up and channel down. (Also, many of those posts are not, in fact, referencing the current dish anywhere app running in a web browser under...

I have been trying to figure out the keyboard shortcuts for Dish Anywhere playing in a Firefox web browser on Win7. The only two keys I have found that seem to be mapped is the up arrow (up channel) and down arrow (down channel). I have tried all the usual suspects for play, ffwd, rew, etc. and...

Thanks for the replies....I know dishonline via web browser seems to be working fine for some folks, but for others it is very sporadic. I am using Firefox 14.0.1, and I am not using "private browsing". When it does connect, it works great. I have been testing this with a laptop connected to the...

As many others have reported, when I try and use dishonline via a web browser, the vast majority of the time it just spins forever at the "video loading" screen. I have a VIP 722K and Dish slingplayer, and bandwidth is not the issue, as when it connects (maybe 10% of the time) it works fine...

I am currently using a Xantech IR-over-coax system. This injects +12V DC and 30-100Khz for the IR signal onto the coax, which is also currently carrying a NTSC video signal. This allows me to use IR universal remote controls in multiple rooms in my house to control audio and other components...

I have left my local channels deleted, and my OTA antenna unplugged. Today I got a acquiring signal screen again. These are my values for 129: t19 t20 t29 t30 38 49 51 50 So I have a new 1000.2 dish (new two weeks ago, installed by dish technician). Is the problem that 129 signal strength...

Woops, meant to post this link about OTA issues: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-technical-discussions/276462-722k-ota-module-locking-up-11.html

I deleted all my local channels, and disconnected the OTA antenna. I have had no issues for the last couple days. So it is looking like this may be related to the 750 software issues.

I have done multiple hard resets....When I first turn the box on for the day, sometimes the box will progress from the "starting up" dialog to the "acquiring signal" dialog on its own, other times it appears to be hung at the "starting up" dialog and I have to do a hard reset.

Some more data, my current signal strength on tuner1 is: t19 t20 t29 t30 43 52 58 53

I have a 722k, am located in Raleigh, NC. I was getting the "acquiring signal" dialog each and every day when I turned on the receiver for the first time that day. In the details dialog under System Info, I was getting an error message about lnb drift on 129 with a -8 in the message. Dish came...

webslingplayer working, what is slinghealth? This worked with Firefox 5 for me as well. I notice that there is a second plugin called slinghealth that was disabled when I installed Firefox 5. What is the function of slinghealth?

I can confirm the PI provides around 20VDC..... One other advantage of a PI is if you have a OTA antenna with a preamp, you can use the DC voltage from the PI to drive the preamp. In an install where you are using a diplexer and a single coax for SAT and OTA, you can use a diplexer that passes...

I have what I suspect are multipath problems (only 12 miles from the tower with the stations that cause me problems). My 722K has problems with dropouts that the tuner in my Panasonic G25 plasma HDTV does not have. I have tried Channel Master 4228, Wingard 7210, and also smaller antennas located...

Please put my name in the hat. I will use this so that my Harmony 880 universal remote can be used to control TV2 on my VIP622 in dual mode.
