    20.0 Remote Issue with 722k

    I've been trying to figure out a remote issue with a 722k. Over Chirstmas, my Mom got a 47" Vizio HDTV and decided to put it downstairs. Well the receiver was upstairs on the 32" HDTV so I asked her where she would most likely watch most of her tv, and of course it would be on the tv without...

    EuroNews a la carte?

    I know this has been a topic in the past, but I was wondering if any of the new Dish employees could shed any light or at least put in a word for us. Over a year ago, I dropped the French Bouquet when Dish decided to drop the yearly pricing and go with the month to month charge for the...

    I am considering purchasing the new 20.0 or 21.0 to use with a DVR 510. The reason I am considering this is for my mother who has to use the remote for the home theater system. The current platinum remote for the 510 doesn't operate the muting or volume for the home theater system. Knowing...

    I have enough remotes, but I have noticed the occasional DVR remote usually 6.0 or 6.3 that just chews up batteries. I mean literally having to change batteries every other day. Does anyone know what is shorting out to cause this? Has anyone else experienced this with their remotes? If there...

    Adding more than 4 satellites

    I know how to connect up to 4 orbitals using the DPP44 switch. How would you connect 5 orbitals to your receiver? 119, 110, 129, 118.7, 61.5? I think I know how, but I'm not completely sure.

    What is the future of sat 148?

    I was looking at the channels on all the Dish Network satellites and I was wondering what the future holds for 148. While I see a small mix of international and western US locals, isn't Dish trying to migrate most (if not all) internationals to 118.7? If that is the case, that only leaves...
