    Keyboard Shortcuts for Dish Anywhere in Firefox?

    No, unfortunately. I had used google and investigated all the results before I posted. None of the reported shortcuts work, with the exception of channel up and channel down. (Also, many of those posts are not, in fact, referencing the current dish anywhere app running in a web browser under...

    Keyboard Shortcuts for Dish Anywhere in Firefox?

    I have been trying to figure out the keyboard shortcuts for Dish Anywhere playing in a Firefox web browser on Win7. The only two keys I have found that seem to be mapped is the up arrow (up channel) and down arrow (down channel). I have tried all the usual suspects for play, ffwd, rew, etc. and...

    DIRT member: Has dishonline using web browser been abandoned?

    Thanks for the replies....I know dishonline via web browser seems to be working fine for some folks, but for others it is very sporadic. I am using Firefox 14.0.1, and I am not using "private browsing". When it does connect, it works great. I have been testing this with a laptop connected to the...

    DIRT member: Has dishonline using web browser been abandoned?

    As many others have reported, when I try and use dishonline via a web browser, the vast majority of the time it just spins forever at the "video loading" screen. I have a VIP 722K and Dish slingplayer, and bandwidth is not the issue, as when it connects (maybe 10% of the time) it works fine...

    Hopper MPOA coax compatible with Xantech IR-over-coax?

    I am currently using a Xantech IR-over-coax system. This injects +12V DC and 30-100Khz for the IR signal onto the coax, which is also currently carrying a NTSC video signal. This allows me to use IR universal remote controls in multiple rooms in my house to control audio and other components...

    722k acquiring signal every day, is my strength on 129 the problem?

    I have left my local channels deleted, and my OTA antenna unplugged. Today I got a acquiring signal screen again. These are my values for 129: t19 t20 t29 t30 38 49 51 50 So I have a new 1000.2 dish (new two weeks ago, installed by dish technician). Is the problem that 129 signal strength...

    722k acquiring signal every day, is my strength on 129 the problem?

    I deleted all my local channels, and disconnected the OTA antenna. I have had no issues for the last couple days. So it is looking like this may be related to the 750 software issues.

    722k acquiring signal every day, is my strength on 129 the problem?

    I have done multiple hard resets....When I first turn the box on for the day, sometimes the box will progress from the "starting up" dialog to the "acquiring signal" dialog on its own, other times it appears to be hung at the "starting up" dialog and I have to do a hard reset.

    722k acquiring signal every day, is my strength on 129 the problem?

    I have a 722k, am located in Raleigh, NC. I was getting the "acquiring signal" dialog each and every day when I turned on the receiver for the first time that day. In the details dialog under System Info, I was getting an error message about lnb drift on 129 with a -8 in the message. Dish came...

    SlingPlayer Plugin for Firefox 5

    webslingplayer working, what is slinghealth? This worked with Firefox 5 for me as well. I notice that there is a second plugin called slinghealth that was disabled when I installed Firefox 5. What is the function of slinghealth?

    Dead Power Inserter for DPP44 switch

    I can confirm the PI provides around 20VDC..... One other advantage of a PI is if you have a OTA antenna with a preamp, you can use the DC voltage from the PI to drive the preamp. In an install where you are using a diplexer and a single coax for SAT and OTA, you can use a diplexer that passes...

    OTA Module 722k

    I have what I suspect are multipath problems (only 12 miles from the tower with the stations that cause me problems). My 722K has problems with dropouts that the tuner in my Panasonic G25 plasma HDTV does not have. I have tried Channel Master 4228, Wingard 7210, and also smaller antennas located...

    First Look: TV2 IR Converter Kit

    Please put my name in the hat. I will use this so that my Harmony 880 universal remote can be used to control TV2 on my VIP622 in dual mode.

    Team Summit 922 Pics

    +4 on the Universal Remote Support. I am a Harmony user, if they don't have IR support, I'm not interested in the 922.....I have tried very hard to reserve judgment, but if Dish doesn't "get it" on this issue, then they truly do not understand their customers.....It has taken them over a year to...

    Team Summit 922 Pics

    Yes, I think that would work. This is in fact how Dish showed it connected. I guess there is enough frequency separation between TV2 and the UHF to make it work. If I were using this scenario, I would want TV2 assigned to the highest channel just to be on the safe side.

    I've attached a picture of how you connect the TV2 IR Converter. The top diagram shows the scenario Dish has described in the past. the bottom picture is how I intend to use it. If you wanted to continue to use a UHF pro remote AND and IR remote to control TV2 in dual mode, then you would need...

    722 TV#2 under IR control??

    Dish announced a "TV2 to IR Converter" a year ago, and have been saying since September of last year that it is coming "soon". Will they ever actually deliver it? Not clear. Here is another thread on this topic...

    TV2 to IR Converter I would like to see an announcement of a firm availability date for the TV2 to IR converter, which was: * announced at last years Team Summit (the 2008 Team Summit) * advertised as "coming soon" by Dish since 9/2008

    722K Tuner 2 via IR

    You do not understand the reasons why IR for TV2 (in dual mode) is a desired feature. It is not because anyone thinks IR signals will pass through walls. Two of the desired applications are use of universal remote controls with IR repeaters, and use of devices with IR blasters (such as the...

    722K Tuner 2 via IR

    Scott, thanks for testing.....Dish needs to fix the user guide.....Maybe Dish intends to eventually come out with receivers that do support IR for TV2....Meanwhile we are still waiting for them do so so, or to ship the TV2 to IR converter, which has been coming "soon" since last September.
