    Recording on tv2?

    They have sent someone out in the past. Must be a new policy. We have a roof mounted automatic dish does that count as "permanent locations(mounted dish)". Signal lost again while wife was talking tp DISH rep. Still have great signals at dish. Could that be a bad receiver that is not sending...

    Recording on tv2?

    My wife talked to DISH today about the issue. 1st person connected her to a tech that insisted it was the dish and not the receiver--HUH? And said they do not send a service person to RV's. We have been with DISH in our RV since 2000 and have always been able to get assistance (which we pay a...

    oljim--Until I messed with the remote I was able to do all those things. Before I went to bed I tried the DISH once more and was connected!!! DICK

    ChadT41--"Next time you run the check switch, can you see if a message pops up, and afterwards, can you take a picture of the matrix?" Not understanding this, especially 'picture of the matrix'. dwarren2--"There is a setting to default to tv2 tuner as the default, leaving tv1tuner for watching...

    Recording on tv2?

    bigjohnok--I'll pull the receiver out and check it again. But the problem started when I tried reconfiguring the remote. I didn't do anything to the back. That's where I'm getting confused. Thanks DICK

    Recording on tv2?

    ChadT41--It came back positive. bigjohnok--Correct--"no separator or triplexer on the back of the 722" TV2 is not hooked up to a TV. And it worked OK that way before I messed with the remote. Thanks for the replies, DICK

    Recording on tv2?

    I think that the way I explained what happened misled some people. I apologize for that. I do want to get the remote problem resolved but right now I'm wanting to get the receiver to record on TV1 & TV2. Right now it will not on TV2. The recording problem started after I tried the setting the...

    Recording on tv2?

    We live in a motorhome and receiver is in a cabinet. Been trying to get TV1 to respond to remote thru closed cabinet door. I 'searched' and found this: "You just need to pair the 6.0 remote to the ViP722. Press the system info button on the front of the receiver, then press the record button...

    Switch for 2 dishes

    TechWriter--Page shows "For Business Customers Only. We do not sell directly to the Public." I then googled the switches and couldn't find them anywhere except that page. Will any A/B switch work? Or does it have to be a special one to pass the voltage back to the dish? Thanks DICK

    Switch for 2 dishes

    Brussam--Thanks. I had your site already in my favorites (probably from rv forums). I read thru everything but never saw what switch to use to switch between the 2 satellite sources. I know it has to be able to send voltage to the dishes so I think that any old A/B switch will not work. I...

    Switch for 2 dishes

    I live in a motorhome and have a DISH sat mounted on the roof. Sometimes when I'm in a wooded area I have to use my tripod mounted dish. This means I have to pull the receiver (VIP722DVR) out of the cabinet and disconnect the roof dish and connect the tripod dish. It's a pain in the butt to do...

    AAD - Is Out of Business

    I disagree. Lots of comments on RV forums and most would want to keep distant networks and not having to call DISH every time they move (sometimes daily) and then having to change their menu to the new channels. DICK

    Inactivity timer (standby mode?)

    Don't remember what the popup said. Problem is that after about 2 hrs on the same channel I get that message, usually at the wrong time (something critical happening on the show). Then I have to select that I want to keep on viewing (or something similar). I feel it is a setting but can't find a...

    Remote or receiver problem??

    722 receiver, remote--5.3 IR for TV1. Today, when using remote, the response time on screen is very slow. Changed batteries and same thing happens. Is this a possible remote problem or receiver problem. Remote works OK to control TV and Bose sound system. If remote problem, how do I go about...

    Movie pass??

    According to the Q & A, discs can only be sent to the acct address. We live fulltime in a motorhome & travel all the time so that won't work. I don't have a broadband connection either. I use a sat dish for internet and it has limited bandwidth and is slow. Are there any other benefits to 'movie...

    Dish 1000.2 and the Birdog Ver. 2.5 Meter

    The ver2.5 will have a hard time locking on to the 1000.2 dish on it's own, since you are looking for 3 sats. I hook one of my 2 cables (from the dish) to the receiver and the other to the BD. I looked for the info on this but I can't find it again. Here is a link to the ver2.5 manual...
