    HDCP to Begin on HBO Comedy

    It seems to depend on whether the TV will make the HDCP handshake while it is off. When this happened last year I checked other peoples receiver/TV setups and most would report HDCP yes even when the TV was off.

    HDCP error - Panasonic TV has HDCP!!!!!

    My issue was with a Hitachi. I agree that it sounds like a software issue with the receiver. Hopefully, it gets fixed soon.

    HDCP to Begin on HBO Comedy

    I had noticed issues with HDCP on PPV movies last year. I tried to rent a PPV movie on my 722 at TV2 and received an error message due to the receiver not being able to detect HDCP. I checked the System Info 2 screen which confirmed no HDCP. I then went to TV1 and turned on the TV, TV2 allowed...

    HDCP error - Panasonic TV has HDCP!!!!!

    I know this doesn't help but, I have the same issue. I thought it was the receiver until I tried my PS3 and my DVD player and neither of them would work either. I found out that the HDCP on my TV quit working. I've tried to reset the TV several times. I've called the manufacturer and no one has...

    Dish On Demand freeze's 722 DVR, then resets itself.

    Same exact problem here. Someone filled out a technical problem report and I never received a resolution. My 722 had problems with the old DISHOnline too. But now it usually only happens when 0 networks show up under DISH Cinema.

    Broadband, advantage

    All the movies on channel 1 and 501 are loaded onto your receiver from satellite while your receiver is in standby. Dish calls that their VOD and it starts immediately after you order it. DISH Online is downloaded over the web. The faster your speed the sooner you get to watch your movie...

    Eastern Arc Dish and 6 Receivers - Tech on site!

    You can run the 1000.4 to a DPP44 and then trunk to a DPP33 or DPP44. The DPP44 is approved to attach straight to the 1000.4. It will deactivate the internal switch.

    Greetings..

    I could be wrong. However, it was written he has a 500 + (could mean and) dish and I may have misinterpretted that as a 500 lnb (incorrect name but many people use that term for a twin or quad) + dish. This is also why I said the 500 probably has a twin on it. I have no way of knowing for sure...

    adding a 5th receiver

    It depends where you live. Some people get their locals from the eastern arc and some get them from the western arc, and a few get them from both. What city do your locals come from?

    922 Sling Issues?

    Couple of Issues When setting up a timer the 922 reports that it recorded the show but it does not show up in DVR. This has happened on both series & individual recordings. Sometimes the program guide will hang up and delay for up to ten seconds. This happens when you leave the guide and...

    Dish/Sling TV Everywhere Adaptor

    Here is all the info on it. Sling Media - Slingbox 700U I have only heard coming soon for the date. The price will probably be announced closer to the actual release date.

    Watch Now at the bottom of the TV Guide...hum

    This is an update with software L6.27. It has been rolled out to 622 receivers and will soon roll to 722 receivers.You can turn it off. Go into enhancements (menu 6-1-6).

    Greetings..

    First off. :welcome The Dish 500 probably has a twin on it. This means it can receive signal from the 110 & 119 sats. The other LNB you have is a 1000.2. It is capable of receiving 110, 119, & 129. 129 is the HD satellite. This LNB can send signal to three receivers and you can use any...

    Can I 722 1000.2/129 AND DP500 110/119?

    I would probably just go with the 1000.2. If you go with a two dish solution you will need to use your old 500 Dish for 110 & 119 with a DPP Twin and another 500 Dish with a single/dual to point at 129. The single/dual would have a coax running into the input on the DPP Twin. From that you could...

    Hard Drive size in 722k

    I have more than 55 hours of HD on my 722 and I still have 4 hours of HD left. The 55 hours is from the Mpeg 2 days. I'm not sure how much actual record time is on the 722.

    Deleting shows don't reduce available hours

    The same thing happens on my 722. Some HD takes up more space than others. If I record an hour of OTA it takes about an hour of space. However, I could record two hours of HD satellite programming in that same space.

    Hard Drive size in 722k

    500GB is correct for both the 722 and the 722k.

    What do I need to tell him/her...

    Agreed. Plus, it's always fun when they leave notes exactly where to put the dish and you have no line of site from there.

    622 vs. 722k

    I still have 622 receivers. However, I don't use them until I run out of 722(k) receivers.

    Problems with 129...?

    Honestly, I would probably complain that the dish tech pointed it into a tree during the winter and see how far that takes you. I would hope they would discount the service fee. But you are right Dish has strict safety rules and will not let their techs climb TV antennas. If you are able to get...

    adding a 5th receiver

    Re-read my previous post, "It depends what sat. your locals come from. If you need 61.5 for your locals you still need 129 or 72.7 to get all of your locals." I meant to say if you need 61.5 for your locals you still need 129 or 72.7 to get all of your HD. However, if you are referring to...

    Can I 722 1000.2/129 AND DP500 110/119?

    You are exactly right about the oblong shape and the skew. 110 and 119 come in at a higher elevation. The elevation on the 1000.2 is set somewhere around the middle so that it can catch all three satellites. And the azimuth is set to point at 119 more or less because it is almost dead center...

    Problems with 129...?

    If you are directly behind the dish 129 will be to the right. Just try to swing it a few degrees to the right and don't mess with the other settings and you should be fine.
