    Switching to a dish 1000.2?

    If you have a digital satellite meter then you can usually use any of ports 1, 2 or 3. You can tell which sat you are finding by putting your hand in fornt of the LNB to see if signal drops. Course what you want is for 119 to be receiving from the 119 LNB(the one in the middle). Then run the...

    Connecting 722k to home network

    The dish products are 10/100. Cat5 or Cat5e is all you need. Your plan to try hard wire and compare is good. Go to www.internetfrog.com for a good non biased speed test.

    adding a 5th receiver

    SW64's still alive Nice to hear someone still remembers cascasded SW64's. I did give up on the goofy loads and feed each with a passive 2x4. My 922(that is what I said) and 2 722 love the setup and I never ever ever have signal issues, dedicated dishes for each satellite. Now don't get me...

    722k fan turns on 7am doesn't turn off ever

    Auto Boot What time is your box set to perform updates? Menu 8(preferences), 4 (updates). Default is usually 3AM. Dish now sets them to update EVERY night. Solved a lot of problems.

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

    to skew or not to skew The dish screen won't give the right skew for a 1000.2 give us your zip and we will get it to you. yes the switch is built into the 1000.2 ports 1,2 & 3 all see all three birds. But by default they will switch to 119, 110 and 129 when using simple pointing equipment...

    Can SW31 be used to connect 2 receivers to 1 output?

    For the record DPP44's have dropped way down in cost. Go see your favorite Retailer, be nice to them and they may give it to you for less than 100 smackers. It is the ONLY way to do what you need to do with a D1000.4 unless you add another 1000.4

    622 vs. 722k

    The 722k 722/722K is a larger hard drive than the 622 so you get more real On-Demand channels as there is more space. The 722 series tend to be more relaible than the 622 but they are also not as old and eventually all DVR receivers will die as the hard drives are really really cheap! Now the...

    Broadband audit important question

    yes they can and why not use it the other way, leave the 922 at the account home and use sling to view that is what it is designed for. But for starters you better leave it at home until they work out a few moe bugs anyway, why torture yourself!

    Raining....loss of dish signal

    First yes your signal is low, check it when it is not rainng first, then report back specifically for transponders 15,16,17,18 on each of the three satellites. Cutting in and out can also be bad connectors. Did the installer replace the wall plate barrel? it should be blue/red now. Did...

    [Rant] Another purchased receiver showing as leased

    How much did you pay for it? if it was $400+ then you bought it. If it was $200/100 then you only actually paid a lease upgrade fee, kind of like getting fancy wheels on a lease car you still don't own them. If you got it through a retailer then they will have the records. Good luck

    My friend is already regretting getting a 922

    Open Mind If you are the Retailer and were not on Beat offer to swap out his 922 for a month with a loaner and learn from his 922. There will always be pain with new products. We make clients sign an I told you so policy on new equipment, so they will grow with us and not give us pain. My...
