Now that we no longer have DirecTV, is there a simple way to get a good signal from an OTA antenna to two HDTV locations? No wiring has changed, just had to return the receivers. Had the Swim setup (single wire). I'd like to at least get a good signal to one TV. Tried disconnecting the dish and...

Please answer the following if you know: Say someone doesn't realize they are renting a VIP211 receiver, and accidentally gives it + remote + smart card to a friend. Then the friend sells the equipment on ebay and ships it across the country after being paid via paypal. What is the original...

I signed up for new serivce about 12 months ago and now have the "Choice Xtra Classic" package. I also added the free for 3 month HD Extra Pack about 3 months ago. I went online to remove the HD Extra pack so that I don't have to pay for the channels I don't really watch much, and when I go to...

Short version: What format setting do you use and why? Longer: I primarily watch HD channels and was wondering what is the best resolution to set my HR-24? I have an HDTV that normally I have set to 1080i for TV and also run the HDMI video signal though my home theater recevier. I set the...

My current setup is: (2) HR-24's with one connected with DECA to my network router, MRV, DirecTV2PC installed. SWiM, one Dish. Questions: Is the separate DECA required for my HR-24 to function how I'm setup (couldn't tell if the HR-24 has one already built in)? What's the functional...

My Dad currently has SD programming and is looking into the HD offer that Dish sent him. The surprise was when he called and the CSR said he'd need to pay $97 extra for an installer to come out and put up a new dish to get the propper HD channels. About 12 months ago he had a new dish and...

From all the posts I could search there are indeed locals for Boise, Idaho area, but when I got to Directv's site and start the signup process and put in any zip code in the Boise area, they all say "no locals". Should I signup a different way or are there indeed no locals for Boise, ID area...

Anyone able to help me find the proper remote code for a Panasonic SC-PT480? I have a 522 receiver (I think) and am using a 6.0 IR/UHF Pro remote on TV2. I'd love to be able to turn on the Panasonic Home Theater / DVD unit with the Dish Network remote. So far no luck. I'm trying it in AUX...

Tonight I saw something happen for the first time: I was watching the Pro-Bowl (a few minutes behind live TV), and wanted to read the info on a previously recorded show, so I pressed info when it showed up in the recording list and the Pro-Bowl info came up instead. Immediately the receiver...

Tonight a strange thing happened to an otherwise perfectly operating setup: I was watching a recording from the external hard drive connected to my ViP722 and paused the show when the remote batteries finally needed changing. I changed to a fresh set and when to play (unpause) the recording...

Anyone know a Dish Network remote code that works to turn off an Onkyo AV receiver (model TX-SR606)? My remote is a 5.3 IR for TV1 and I got it to work to turn ON the AV receiver and adjust the volume, but I can't get it to work turning OFF the AV receiver. I'd even be interested in...

I recently noticed that I can no longer select forums to hide in the User Control Panel -> Edit Otions section at the bottom. I used to be able to hide the forums I didn't want to see, but now all that shows up in the box where the forums were listed is "[Click to reset]" It would be nice to...

Can I use this connector: VGA to 3 RCA component video cable (HD15 - 3-RCA) To connect the RGB output of my ViP722 to my computer monitor & have the the image display via the 15-Pin VGA input. The notes on the monoprice site indicate that: Here is my monitor...

My dad's 522 DVR won't record new shows ever since last week. It was working fine for months. His phone line isn't connected, but I didn't think that mattered since he was recording prior. He can setup timers, they just won't record. Live TV is just fine, though there have been rain showers...

Just upgraded to 7.1 speakers. It's kind of a hodge-podge of speakers, but they are all rated well. Going from 5.1 to 7.1 isn't that much better - but it didn't cost me anything extra. I got the two rear surround speakers from a friend and had the wire and extra outputs already on my Onkyo...

Is there any way to back up your saved recordings? If the drive they are on fails, I'd like to be able to have the recordings on another drive so I don't loose them. I have an EHD active, but there is no backup - a show is either in one place or another, not 2 at once. I haven't tried...
