Now nearly two months since first complaint to DN about lack of captions and all that has happened is that they have admitted there is a problem with the VIP222. Software revision (now L309VAMD-N) was apparently last updated in October 2008. Am going to start asking for a credit on my bill for...

Latest - not much but finally DN has admitted there is a problem. No resolution or even that they are working on it but a start.: "Currently the closed captioning on the HD receiver 222 is a known issue and as reported engineering is aware of this." Sent 28 Jan 2009 06:15:24.0907 (UTC)

OK here is the latest: 1) Dish sent a second VIP222 and it acted exactly the same way as the first very few HD channels with Closed Captions 2) Connected the 722 and all channels showd captions: HBO, SCiFi, TBS, HDTheater, etc.. 3) Called DN and after the usual holds and scripts they said the...

Best reasonably priced converter box I found is the Zenith DTT901 available at Circuit City and such. It has analog pass through and in SW Orlando picks up more channels than either the Dish Box or the TV itself. It is best if you can have seperate inputs to the TV (Zenith has coax and...

Gave up and went through the chat session. First person said there was a software upgrade but instructions were incomprehensible ("If it does say locked, you will need your TV 2 remote to turn off the blue light on the receiver. After that you will turn off TV 1 from the actual receiver itself...

Reported to Dish first on 15 December and all I have received so far are machine generated replies to my e-mails. Looks like the problem is in the VIP 222 but they seem to be ignoring me. Still very few HD channels are giving captions. Does anyone else have a VIP222 they can try ? If captions...

Have received yet another generic reply from dish: "Dear Valued Dish Network Customer," that really does not say anything "Unfortunately, we do not have a status report for this situation at this time. Generally these issues are resolved via software information sent directly to the receiver. "...

Well I have a VIP222 that was just installed and it reports connections (over 60 strength new style on each) to 61.5, 110, and 119. Just checked "Rails and Ties" (HBO 300), "The Big Kahuna" (HBO2E 301) and "Shrek the Third" (MAX 310 ) on AV2 (through DVD player), Component, and HDMI2 on the...

So far I have talked to DN (was told it was my TV), e-mailed DN twice, HBO, and SCI-Fi channel with no meaningful response from anyone. Out of about fifty HD channels, captions come in on all local, but only about 8 Top-250, and 2 premium HD channels (No HBO at all). Meanwhile I get captions on...

Interesting: my OTA is a powered "flying saucer" I installed twenty years ago - was surprised to find it is still working. I am in SW Orlando (west of I-4). Most of the transmission antennas are by Bithlo on the far east side (35-40 miles) and am getting an excellent signal on those, the Zenith...

"The TV2 Tips and Tricks" mentions installing a splitter backwards to combine OTA and SAT signals. I found that this was the cause of the bad signal on TV2 (MBR). At first I installed an A-B switch in place of the splitter and was able to get a good picture on both but was not a good soulution...

I am receiving on 61.5, 110, and 119. All have similar (62-68 new style) power readings. Is it possible that DN is providing captions on 129 but not 61.5 ? Can I receive 129 in Florida ? At this point I am ready to give up and have dish put me back the way I was regardless of the service...

Have now tried AV2, Component, and HDMI inputs, switching CC on and off, rebooting system, and wiggling my ears. Still only get CC on about 10 HD channels overall and on ENCORE and SEDGE of the premiums (no HBO, no CINEMAX, no other Showtime). All have captions displaying on the SD versions of...

If one dish and its LNBs look wider than the other and is pointed more to the west then that is a 500 and is getting 110 and 119. The one pointing noticably to the east is 61.5 at least that is how my house is set up. When I upgraded to HD, they just replaced the LNBs since I already had a 500...

Do you also have an OTA antenna ? When we upgraded to HD recently, the installers relocated the 222 from the attic where the 4900s were to the family room TV and fed the signal back to the attic and the MBR feed. The OTA antenna for the local channels was combined to the DN signal with a total...

BTW, when using HDMI input and when using Component initially), the CC option on the LG TV is greyed out and not selectable. AV (composite) and Antenna both have the CC option and is turned on. The 222 Pro receiver has CC turned on as described previously.

OK this is mostly with an LG HDTV connected via HDMI cable to just installed 222 Pro receiver. Picture is very good. Closed Captions are set as in the previous posting (though too small and it is 8-6-1 on my receiver not 8-7-1). Am getting CC with HD only on local channels, A&E, BIO, History...

I see there was a simliar thread in 2007 but no mention since. Have just upgraded (?) to HD after almost a decade with DN and now have both a 722 and a 222 receiver. Since I am hearing impaired, CC is essential. I am finding that very few of the HD channels have CC but most of the same...

Had a bit more time to try the rig and found something interesting: Replacing the 50 foot lead of standard RG-6U with the same length of Philips "Quad Shield" which claims much less signal loss dramatically dropped the incidence of "Error 004". In the residence the SW64 is only a few feet from...

I have seen something similar with a SW21X setup for an RV. In that case when the satellites are switched it takes from 15 seconds to a minute of "Error 004 ... run switch test" off and on before the correct satellie locks in and the error goes away. Two different SW21Xs act the same way. This...

OK, I have had the home setup for years but was thinking about using one of the receivers with an RV. I had been given a pair of Sony 18D2 dishes and bought a JVI SW21X switch (which reports as a SW42). There is a new 50ft cable of RG-6U to the switch and two six foot RG-6 leads to the dishes...

Thank you that is pleanty and sounds like this project needs a different dish. No rush since everything is working properly now just have been thinking about building a portable unit if there is an RV in my future.

This may be a dumb question but a search did not turn up anything. I have seen a legacy twin/dual LNB with casting number ED0077-23 . There are other numbers but are very faint, the top one seems to start D1UP2016 It is marked 110 and 119 (indicating satellites) and seems to fit a Dish Network...
