I have one VIP722 feeding a JVC projector and a Samsung TV and have been using a matrix HDMI switch for at least 4 years. The switch went bad, I think, and took the HDMI port on the VIP722 with it. Replaced the receiver and bought another matrix HDMI switch and it is looking like the exact...

Am I blind or did the Tennis channel disappear from DN??? Also, my 722 will not reliably record any OTA channels. Today, I had 4 programs scheduled to record. I only ended up with one recording. The other three simply disappeared from any record on my 722, no history or anything...

Is there a tutorial somewhere to get this working? I've contacted Dish numerous times w/o any luck. My receiver shows broadband connection ok. I log into DN website and click on the sling link in the menu and I get a no receiver connected issue. Sometimes, I do not see that problem and I...

Has anybody else received this email from Dish? If so, what is the best way to get this resolved? In the email, Dish is claiming that HDPlatinum was a 3 month free promotion, but I've had it for years I think. What's going on here Dish?

Just thought I would post my experiences here (the old thread is too old to post in)... I have HD TV1 (main TV connected to VIP722 (non k model) via HDMI) and HD TV2 (120 feet away in bedroom connected to same VIP722 via Component (more on that later)). I didn't want to use DN UHF Pro 6.3...

I have a vip722 and the URC RF20 system with Power Blaster IR control. Is there any way that I can control TV2, normally controlled by DN 6.3 IR/UHF Pro remote, using my URC IR/UHF remote? Thx, George

I have the vip722 and a small Radio Shack UHF antenna in the attic. I have two feeds coming off the antenna (two of those little flat antenna wire to coax converters). The run to both my 722 and to my internal PCI-x PC tuner are very close to exactly the same length. My 722 cuts out a lot...

Does anybody know what happened to the Ft. Smith Arkansas HD Network launch slated for 4/22 per Retailer Chat? George

I just noticed that my vip722 does not record the buffer like my other receivers have in the past. Example, watching a show and after about 30 minutes or so I decide to record the entire show. In the past with my 501, 510, 622(?), I could skip backwards and start the recording and it would...

Just got off the phone with DN Retention Specialist and thought I would share in case it can help anybody else... My history with DN has been ongoing for almost 12 years. I have the Top 200 with locals, SilverHD with PlatinumHD (huh?) and no premium movie channels and a vip722 leased receiver...

Hey all, I've been a loyal DN customer for over 12 years. I live just south of Ft. Smith Arkansas. I have one vip722 HD DVR feeding one TV. I don't subscribe to movie packages or sports packages. Can I ask a couple of questions of you DirecTV experts? Do you get your local Ft. Smith...

Hey fellas, anybody have any idea where everybody here in NW Arkansas is 'moving' to get their HD Networks? I was 'living' in Nashville, which worked fine up until last week. Any advice would be appreciated, George

As the title says, my Nashville HD local networks, ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX have been off the air for over a week now. Calls to DN result in, 'huh?'. Email to CEO also elicited a phone call with the same 'huh?'. What's weird is whenever I try to select one of those channels, I get a looking...

My 722 has received the latest 610(?) software and now almost on every recording, I get loss of signal even though there should be no loss of signal. I had a very little bit of trouble with off the air recordings previous to the latest software download, but never on sat channels and only...

I've read through most of the posts on this subject but still am not 100% sure, I will no longer get any ota local guide info??? EVER??? George

I have a Dish 1000 and vip622, with no switch at all in my setup. I have a DP Plus dual head LNB and a Dish Pro single. I'm getting a -8 drift on the 129 satellite (I'm stuck at the 015 screen, acquiring satellite signal) and DN is sending a tech out with a quad LNB replacement but that...

For the last couple of weeks, Fox HD channel 6343 has been having a problem where any on screen movement, either camera or action, causes a 'tear' in the image. This tear is horizontal all the way across and half way between the top and bottom of the screen where the top part of the image...

What is going on with this and how do I disable it??? I am not interested in Dish's options popping up when I'm watching a channel, no thank you. It just started doing it but I can't figure out how to disable it. Any help? Thanks, George -bub

If the 622 does indeed have name based recording, why do they insist on starting 1 minute early and end 3 minutes late AND record sporting events for an additional 60 minutes??? Now, I know you can change the 1 minute early and 3 minute late setting, but it has already gotten old and I've...

Had a 12-5 install window. Tech called at 8:30 that morning asking if he could come right away, I of course say sure. He shows up at 11:00 with D1000 and DPP44. Takes down my SW64, takes down my main 500 (pointing at 110 and 119) and puts up the D1000, peaks 129 I guess using 43/121 instead...

Hey all, Just got my 622 installed yesterday. I can't for the life of me figure out how to record two shows at the same time. Every time I create a 2nd timer that overlaps the first, I get a warning saying only one will be recorded. Here is my setup, TV1 HD living room, TV2 downstairs kids...

I'm preparing to move to that area and am wondering what, if any, changes I will have to make to get the local networks in HD. I have vip622 with two D500's pointing at 110 and 119, 61.5 (could swing over to 129 if needed). Will that setup get me the local networks in HD? Also, for those...

I have been told repeatedly by DN Corp that once I upgrade to the Vip series receivers, my distant local networks will be in HD. Right now, I see CBS HD on my 811. I am in the Ft. Smith Arkansas market where local networks are available but I have never subscribed to them, getting my locals...

Does anybody know, for a fact, that DN will NOT allow the old HD receivers to be activated for new (to them) buyers??? I read one thing here in the forums and hear a different story from DN Corp. offices. They are assuring me that I will still be able to sell my 811 and the buyer will be...

Hello, I am a very longtime customer of DN, over 7 years. Currently, I have the 508 SD and the 811 HD receivers. I’m interested in finding out what sort of ‘deal’ is available from DirecTV with comparable equipment, HD receiver and SD receiver with recording capabilities. I...
