    Thinking about switching to DIrectTv but not for the reason most people are....

    I switched back in March (after about 8 years with Dish) for pretty much the same reason (cost savings over 2 years). I have to say the DirecTV hardware is a bit slower coming from a VIP722, but not unbearably slower. I'm very happy with the switch, the whole home integration is nice (can see...

    Problem with Dish Remote Access

    I'm having what I think is a similar problem to the original one (just started showing up yesterday). I can view the grid, or my DVR, but when I try to search on anything other than my DVR, the results area of the screen just goes blank. I've had this happen before intermittently, but usually...

    EHD Problem

    Another option for non-powered drives is to use a powered USB hub which will power the drive, and still allow it to work on the DVR (at least know it works on my 622)

    Organize EHD recordings?

    Haven't found a way to organize, but yes you can just add additional hard drives by plugging them in (can only have one drive connected/powered up at a time).

    TV2 Distribution Question

    I have something similar setup (using a 622 and a modulator on a 510), and I just used a 1x2 splitter to allow both of the receiver outputs to be sent as an input to the 1x6 splitter, and it seems to work fine. In my case I didn't use diplexors since I had an extra coax available to carry the...

    Update on 922

    So will the 922 let me stream video from a DLNA server to the 922, like the D* boxes have? If so, what formats does it accept?

    PPV Coupon Redemption

    Mine didn't show up after trying multiple times in the online system. Finally had to call in and get the CSR to "add the note" and they showed up a couple days after that.

    Hooking up projector to TV2

    gdarwin is correct, projector's don't accept modulated signals (or at least none that I'm aware of do). The modulator you purchased does the reverse of what your are wanting (i.e. takes input from the RCA connectors and converts to a channel on coaxX). Projector needs composite (yellow)...

    Billings, MT HD Locals?

    I feel your pain (about 150 miles from towers for me, just to the west instead of south). When I asked the GM's of the Billings stations, I got the impression it wouldn't be soon since they said they weren't even talking to Dish a few months ago. I haven't seen any positive signs since...

    Timers limit is not 96.

    At least on my 622, you can add over the 96 limit, but during the nightly check for updates, any timers above 96 are removed. So you are good as long as the time finishes up before the system update happens, but if the timer is in the future, it will be removed

    625 Modulated Output Question

    Hopefully a quick question. I'm hookin up the modulated output of a 625, and I'm wondering if the TV1 signal (channel 3 or 4) is included on the "home distribution" output of a 625, or do I have to use a splitter to combine the channel 3 and distribution output? I know on my 622, both TV1 &...
