About 1990 I pushed Paramount TV to start shooting our film shows with the HD in mind. My argument was that the back end value of Black and White shows dropped substantially when color became standard. We should protect the back end value of current shows with HD on the horizon. Because most...

Add me to the list, I have a VIP 722k (I bought from Greczkowski). As DISH is pushing the "Hopper" equipment I do not think they will spend anytime fixing this. I've had DISH since mid 1990s and have had too many boxes already. Early on DISH was the leader but they fell behind in adding HD and...

I replaced my 2 year old Sony HDTV with a Samsung 4K 8550 - 60". My eye sight is not as good as it once was but I can see the difference in picture quality when watching Netflix 4K streaming using FiOS - 58 Mbps connection. (The up scaled picture of Dish, Amazon and other signals seems a little...

I had same type of problem on a regular bases. I purchased and changed antenna to a longer UHF one (had to use adopters to connect it to my 722). It has helped but even with the change every so often it misses a number a number. I would change back to old remote but I want/need the learning...

Thank you for reply. That is exactly what I did and the rep. refused to give me any numbers. That is why I an concerned. My current rate with Verizon will go up 30% that is why I'm checking other options, but getting the non promo rate info from TW is near impossible.

I am thinking of changing from FIoS to TW. TW has a 12 month promo rate that is low. But I can't get TW to tell me what kind of bump to regular rates might be. They say they can't tell me because they are not guaranteed. I told them I understood that but I just wanted to get of feel of what the...

I understand that Dish is pushing it's Hooper/Joey product, as I said in the opening post I'm not interested in it. Because I don't want to add to the ever increasing Dish monthly cost and even though I've been with them since '97 they are reaching a point where I will change providers and...

May I ask for some technical help or ideas. I currently send the output from my 722k Dish receiver (I use single mode) in the family room to a second TV in the bedroom using an Actiontec My Wireless HD TV transmitter & receiver units. The system uses HDMI and works fine except that HBO is...

DIRT Team This error code 04 has happened twice now. It was on different channels LA local OTA ch 2 and ch 11. In one case the machine recorded / played back about 2 minutes then ended in the other case it would not play back anything. The list of recorded shows shows the show but as noted I...

Think of all the general entertainment channels that Dish has lost, dropped either temporally or permanently, and the sports channels it does not carry because Dish claims there is not enough interest or they cost too much. Yet Dish subscribers are given a channel would seemed to have a smaller...

Rant I know that electric equipment may occasionally have “Issues” (a/k/a problems for us older people). While Echo Star/Dish equipment is generally very good, when “Issues” do occur too many times the response is “This is a known issue”. Even the normally very helpful DIRT team will fall...

Thank you everyone. I went over to Fry’s and got a “VHF/UHF Dualband High Gain Antenna”. I did have to get a BNC to “F” adopter too. I changed out the standard Dish antenna with this new one. Now when I use the remotes in the other rooms they work every time. It was not a big thing but it...

Thanks upsss but I guess I was not clear. I have three separate locations I want to service, family room with the receiver, kitchen, bedroom. If I follow your solution I would be moving the antenna closer to one location but much further away from the second location. In fact I had tried your...

Thank you fredbon. I currently have the antenna on a short length of coax cable as you do. What I’m trying to overcome is the trial and error scenario of repress the buttons. I was hoping someone might know if there is a better antenna available.

Other than moving the location of the standard Dish RF Antenna, does any know if there are any upgraded antennas that will improve on the Dish standard RF antenna? The antenna receives signals from remotes in different rooms as well as the room where the receiver (722k) is located. While set up...

I think you don’t understand my points. But that is fine, you are certainly entitled to your own take on things. I was an industry insider and look at the economics a little differently than you. Be well and enjoy after all that’s what we / I make programs for, that and to make money too.

Only partly true, the advertising rates get cut and / or increases are held down as “eye balls” watching commercials decreases as a result of new technologies. But production costs go up, so revenue to make and pay for production and distribution costs does not always keep up with costs. Hence...

Let’s face it there is no such thing as a “Free Lunch”. The economic model for “Free” TV was – A) Producers make the show and sell it to and get paid by the networks / stations / basic cable. B) In turn the network / stations / basic cable sell it to and get paid by sponsors. C) We get to watch...

I'm using it at 35 feet from transmitter to receiver with 2 interior walls between. The max per manual is 100 feet for a 1080P signal.

For those not getting a Hopper/Joey set up (i.e. staying with a 622, 722, etc. receiver) but wanting the DVR's HD picture on a second TV versus the TV2 signal here is something to consider. I just got and installed the IOGEAR Wireless 3D Digital Kit that is on sale from Costco.com. I don’t...

Sorry to be so dumb. I’ve tried to do the research – looked at the various treads on this topic but I cannot find a place with a comprehensive list of what additional channels someone would get with the “$9 Multi Sports Pack”. Is there a place with such info or is it just hit or miss based upon...

Thank you everyone.

722 TV2 output question. My daughter would like to connect her second TV to her 722 receiver. Her second TV has combo NTSE and ATSE (digital) antenna input, but TV does not seem to have separate cable input option. The modulator screen on the 722 menu lists 3 options; Air, Cable, Off. So...
