    Best way to mount coaxial cable to siding

    Depending on what you want to spend the nail in clips are the cheapest, but you could use exterior wire molding for housing the wire and most of the time you can find a colour that matches your siding . I use custom PVC pipe for my external wiring, it is painted to the same color of the siding...

    622 looks like crap on new 65" plasma

    I have the VIP722 (non k) and it only supports 1080p via the VOD ppv, it does not support 1080p for any other vod's or channels. Mine looks crisp on my 73" dlp at 720p Upscaled to 1080p You could try to adjust the picture on your tv, it could be the brightness/contrast/sharpness is off on the...

    Missing HD Channels

    It wasn't a 722k. Just a regular 722... I did ask if he had the 722k but all he had was 2 722's in his truck. I'm not complaining though, it didn't cost me a dime to get the 625 upgraded, now I just gotta upgrade the tv it is on.... The tv doesn't even support 480p only 480i...lol

    Missing HD Channels

    Wanted to give an update. The installer came to my house today. They installed one of the Eastern Arc dishes and replaced the 625 receiver with the vip722 receiver. The new dish is actually getting a slightly better signal then the old dish 500's. I have all the HD channels I should now. Plus it...

    Guide question

    It seems to take a new receiver 14 hours to populate all the data in the Dish Network Guide and thats a 9 day guide. I had to use a Directv box last week and the guide download took about the same amount of time. Browsing the guide was quick as well. It was one of their HD Dvr's there...

    Guide question

    There shouldn't be any slowdowns in guide loadings. Directv updates quickly and there is no lag in in using the guide. The DVR's I've tried from (Cablevision, Time Warner, Directv, Comcast) use a 14 day guide even stand alone companies like Tivo, Moxi, and Windows Media Center use a 14 day...

    Guide question

    When I had Directv (when they had tivo boxes) they had a 14 day programming guide, and I do miss it. I was wondering if it is possible to get more than a 7 day EPG for any of the Dish Network Boxes? Or is anything in the works to extend the guide from 7 days to 14?

    Question about the Dishes

    Dish Network Installer is coming on Friday to re-point my dish, I am in NJ and was wondering what satellites I am going to be hooked up to (currently on 61.5, 110, 119 and missing 18 HD channels)? Should I expect them to replace the dish to one of the eastern Arc ones? Is there a benefit to...

    One small storm and out it goes!

    To be completely honest, I've had times where it was raining hard about a 7 on rain scale and signal didn't drop, and other times where the cloud cover was so heavy I got a signal loss. Just beware some installers do not tweak the signal strength above a certain point. I've been lucky with the...

    Missing HD Channels

    I appreciate the offer for the account review, but it should be correct now on your end, if it isn't after they come Friday I will happily PM you. You hit the nail right on the head! I have everything set to record on the DVR. I don't watch live TV anymore (despise commercials), so when I...

    Missing HD Channels

    I used to only come to the site when I needed information. So it is very easy to miss information if you aren't looking for it as for the past year I didn't think I was having any problems. How many tuner is the new DVR they are coming out with? If it is a 4 or 6 tuner it would be worth it...

    Missing HD Channels

    I am aggravated that they never even sent a letter or even something in the bill saying there is a migration going on. Such is life... After this is taken care of and everything is in place, I may call up to get a VIP922 and re-sign a contract. My brother wants a DVR of his own now (hes...

    Missing HD Channels

    Seems I lost 8 HD Channels on 5/26/11, and realized I was missing 18 HD channels I never received. I called Dish Network tech support and the first level of support put me over to the 2nd level support people (at this point I only realized that 8 channels were missing). The person I spoke...
