    Vip 211z moving external hard drive to a Wally

    I upgraded to a Wally from my old VIP 211z. The Wally doesn't recognize the drive having content on it and wants to format the drive. Is there anyway to save the contents of the old drive so the Wally can use it?

    Mirroring 4K content using a cat 6 cable and a balun.

    I found the solution to the problem. And the answer is weird. Initially, I purchased a square cat 7 cable (75') and it didn't work. I read on Amazon it only works with a round cat 6 cable. And it does. I don't understand the difference but its working like a champ. A simple HDMI splitter...

    Mirroring 4K content using a cat 6 cable and a balun.

    Can't seem to get this setup to work. I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WZJ4QVT/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza I tried a 75' cat 7 square cable. Is this unit too cheap to work or do I need to use a different cable? I have the Hopper 3. I want to mirror the Superbowl.

    My 622 locks every morning on the Program Guide

    It locks and sits there. The only fix (besides bitching at Dish) is a reboot, run check switch and wait. Dish did send a tech, and they are going to replace the receiver. The tech didn't have a high opinion of the 622. He had lots of bad receivers! My reciever is over a year old. And I've...

    DIRECTV 11 - Launch now reported as March 9th - Update: Delivered to SeaLaunch (1/26)

    Maybe it's good news for both Dish and Direct. I would guess it's nervous time for Sea Launch and returning to operations after the explosion.

    Dish and Packet 8 VOIP

    Iv'e got SunRocket and it doesn't work with the 622. My 508 works fine with no issues. The whole thing makes me crazy. I even switched out the 622 and it made no difference. ;-(

    No network feeds for Pocketdish on the VIP 622

    I just got a message on my my Vip 622 that the standard definition channels for the networks have been reassigned to the local channel numbers. This is a big deal if you have a Pocketdish. You cannot transfer any HD programming to Pocketdish. It's not compatable. So by re assigning the...

    Bell Expressvu in the U.S.

    Also because of the footprint issue the electronic channel guide is super slow. That was one of the main reasons I dropped Bellexpressview. I'm in the Pasadena area.

    Updated: Court blocks Permanent Injuction ordering DISH DVRs disabled

    Better for who??....certainly not the end user who is going to foot the bill for this mess. I hope Tivo loses this battle and I'm glad Dish is fighting this. I had Tivo's box when I was with DirecTv and in my opinion Dish is the superior machine. And their interface couldn't be more...

    Cities try to illegally prohibit front yard satellite dishes

    I think the point of these rules (like not parking junk cars in the front yards) is to protect other homeowners and the valve of thier homes. The no dish thing is silly. Your freedom is cool so long that doesn't mess with my freedom.

    Dish 1000 and 129 in Southern California

    Yes the Dish 1000 works on the west coast, as long as it doesn't rain very hard:D I went with a 2 dish solution. Signal strenght went from the mid 60s to the low 90s.

    new sub with questions on install

    Sure you can! I would aim the one dish it by itself. Disconnect the splitter at the receiver and run the one cable to the dish you are aiming. Do a check switch which will take a ton of time because there is no cable on the second input. Then aim the dish for 61.5. When complete, put it...

    622 Ship Dates

    So when the CSR told on two separate occasions me my 622 shipped on 2/4/06 they were mistaken?

    Thinking of switching to DirectTV from Dish

    Remember the new Directv HD PVR will NOT have a 30 second skip feature. Dish still has it. Also Directv is a 2 year commitment for all their equipment with rebates.

    What is the future for 148

    I'm getting the 1000 installed this month (maybe) for the HD local channels in Los Angeles. Because there are 3 local channels on 148 I can force Dish to install a second dish. Besides the 3 local channels, is there any advantage to have 148?

    Anyone have tracking number for 622

    I just called Dish and they are holding firm that they shipped my 622 on the 4th and they are going to install on the 22nd. But they couldn't give me a tracking number.
