    Losing My 722 and 722k - Going to Hopper 3 and Two Joeys

    Long time Dish Customer - mid 1990s - Before Dish had any Field Support. I know very little about Hopper and Joeys... been reading furiously. I envision getting a Hopper 3 for my TV Room and a Joey for MBR and a second Joey for Kitchen. I have no need to simultaneously watch different shows on...

    Feedback from me! (The OP) On the 722 my wife deleted all OTA Channels from the scanned OTA's. Note this is not the same thing as deleted the entry on the Guide. I deleted all of the 722k OTA Signals from the Guide - leaving them scanned in. The same problem remained - seemingly random Loss...

    VIP 622 and 722 replacements

    They replaced my wife's 622 with a 722 and told her to recycle rather than return the defective 622. This was back in early March.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that within two minutes of the "Tech" arriving, he whipped out a Power Strip, boxed and ready to be sold, and gave me a sales pitch. I pointed out that I already had a large capacity UPS carrying each Dish Receiver, associated TV, and associated Receivers. Far better...

    I have three TVs - MBR, Kitchen, and Living Room (Home Theater) From all above, I believe I would have Hopper3 in Living Room and a Joey3 or Joey 4 in MBR and Kitchen. I have a Coax available from MBR to Kitchen. Would I need Wireless Joeys at both locations?

    Viewing constantly interrupted by Partial Signal Loss, code 00-00-00

    I believe that screen with Error 00-00-00 does not necessarily mean it is the station being viewed that is weak or lost.

    Just had a Dish Tech show up. He was totally clueless and spouted off utter nonsense. Left saying he could not be of help with our equipment and said he would so advise his supervisor so someone else might be sent out. Where oh where is Uncle Charlie Ergin when you need him? When I told this...

    With my existing VIP receivers, we occasionally lose all satellite - during a storm or otherwise. We simply view an OTA channel. Would prefer to retain that flexibility.

    Thanks for that explanation! The OTA Module would be associated with the Hopper? Thus if I wanted to view or record an OTA offering at a Joey location, I could select that OTA offering via the Hopper?

    The above was just an example. I have a High gain, highly directional OTA antenna mounted on chimney. I have the antenna optimized for the channels I care about 24/7/365. As far as I'm concerned, you have solved my problem on the 722k that I watch. My current wife thinks I'm stupid and...

    Surfing up thru the channels and pass thru a "Weak" OTA channel and come to a Sat channel that I view. That makes the last OTA Channel one of the weak ones and leaves me with a likely problem.

    Our actual need is one TV with its own DVR or some sort. Entirely independent of that TV/DVR is two TVs - one upstairs and one downstairs. Those TVs do not require being able to record/view independently fom each other. In other words, both these TVs could be slaved together . Still need a...

    As I suggested above, the issue does not seem to be if the OTA Channel is on the List... rather it is the OTA Channels scanned in to the receiver and not deleted. My setup on the 722k has only included three STRONG OTA Channels on List 1, however until yesterday there were 40+ signals scanned...

    If I understand correctly, the 722's Single OTA Tuner would be tuned to the OTA Channel last viewed, or currently being recorded? If I was surfing by Up-Channel clicks, for example, and settled on a Sat channel - the Single OTA Tuner would be tuned to whatever OTA Channel I surfed thru. You're...

    Some results. I removed all OTA Channels from the 722k. I scanned the locals and got like 49 Local OTA's - I have a good antenna attached to my chimney. I have a Rotor - but do not use it as my three OTA Channels of interest all are in DC and withing just a couple of degrees of bearing to...

    Getting tired. Will get back tomorrow. Steep learning curve (for me) as to scanning, adding and removing OTA Channels. Also, I was getting confused about deleting an OTA Channel from the Guide as opposed to removing that OTA channel from the entire receiver. The existing condition a few hours...

    Thank you gentlemen! I have one OTA that is weaker than the others... I remove that particular channel, might that improve things? Also, disappointed that Dish could tell me this - lol - I called 4 times in the last three days - the 4th time talking to a "Supervisor." I asked him to have...
