    Mixing monitors on Dish622

    Thanks. I have several component HDTVs here at the house, but no HDMI ones, so I have no way to test it. I didn't want to buy one and find out that it didn't work.

    Mixing monitors on Dish622

    I've got a Dish 622 driving a 1080i monitor via Component connections. On the other side of the wall (in my kitchen) I am thinking of hanging a flat panel monitor and connecting it via HDMI to the same 622 (to have it showing whatever is on in the den; not a separately tuned device.) Will...

    I need to replace the HD in my 721

    I bought a 721 off of EBay several years ago and it has run just fine for me, until today. It locked up and eventually told me that my hard disk had failed. I unplugged it for about an hour, plugged it back in and it reinitialized the drive. I am in the technology business and it seems...

    Changes in Atlanta Spot Beams?

    I live in the Atlanta Area and I also have a second home on the panhandle of Fla. Last August I put up a spare dish and I started carrying one of my units with me when we go down for an extended stay. Thru Thanksgiving (at least) I know I could receive most of the Atlanta stations. I brought my...

    Using old Voom dish for echostar 61.5

    I've got a setup at home with a Dish500 aimed at 110/119 and a second dish aimed at 61.5. The coax from these goes into a multi dish switch dp34. I've got a second home at the Beach where I've got my old voom dish (which is currently gathering dust) and a twinhead dish500 dish which I've...

    Upgrading my Dish Svc for an HD DVR

    I'm just looking for some info so I'll understand what I am getting into. I currently have several Dish receivers. 2 are NonHD DVR's (511 and 721) and 1 is an 811 HD Rec. I own the 811 and the 721 units. I have 2 dishes. One is a 500 pointed at 110 and 119 and the other was added when I...

    Need some help reusing an old Voom Dish with DishNetwork

    Will I need a switch as well? From looking at the Dish500 LNBs on EBay, it looks like I'll need a switch as well to combine the outputs from the LNB. Is that right?

    Need some help reusing an old Voom Dish with DishNetwork

    Ahhh. I suspected that was the issue. Thanks for the info. I'll just pickup a used dish500 LNB.

    Need some help reusing an old Voom Dish with DishNetwork

    At one time I had Dishnetwork and Voom at home. After Voom folded I got a DishNetwork HD receiver and added the Voom package. We got a second home and this weekend I decided to haul the old Voom dish down there along with our Dish 501 (NonHD.) My plan is/was to set up the dish and just...

    HD channels come in in SD quality

    HD in SD Mode (Problem FIxed) Turns out it was user error. I run the voom component output thru my Sony Receiver before it gets to the projector. That way the receiver can auto switch DVD (also component) to the InFocus projector. I recently added a wall hung 17" flat panel (SD)...

    HD channels come in in SD quality

    We've had a weird problem crop up with our Voom since yesterday. It manifests itself this way. We switch to an SD only sat. Channel (like SciFi or TBS) and instead of having sidebars on the 4:3 picture (as the setup says) the picture is stretched to fill the screen. From that point on, all the...

    Lost video on my SD channels, OTA & HD work

    Guess I'll wait for the service man I have one scheduled. Just didn't want to do without while waiting for the service call. Oh well :no

    Lost video on my SD channels, OTA & HD work

    More on lost SD channels All HD (Sat. and OTA) work fine. OTA SD works fine, All Audio is fine. All menus are fine. Only Sat SD has no video. It was gone after I cycled power to STB. I use Component output to an inFocus 4800. DVDs to the 4800 (component ) work fine as well.

    Lost video on my SD channels, OTA & HD work

    Last night I lost the video on all of my satellite SD channels. I still get the audio on them and all of the HD Channels and all of the OTA channels come in fine. I tried cycling the power, resetting, etc. to no avail. Then I got on the phone with Voom support and did everything they...
