    tectonic activity and your dish

    Idle question, I live in Iowa where we effectively don't have any tectonic activity, so I'd like to ask, if you're living on the west coast, how often, if ever, do you have to re-align your dish because of tectonic activity?

    Can a VIP722K interact with a powerline ethernet adaptor?

    Is there a rule here about adding links in comments? I see the link I tried to put in to a gizmo on Amazon is just a blank space. But I'm wondering if I can get my Dish receiver and recorded material on my monitor. I haven't tried Dish Anywhere for a long time since it adamantly refused to...

    Can a VIP722K interact with a powerline ethernet adaptor?

    Probably been asked before. I have a VIP722K. It has an ethernet port. Would I be able to plug it into one of these, and access it on my desktop pc?

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    Not a channel, but it wouldn't be pretty nifty if they could make something like a thermometer and wind speed indicator on the dish that you could pop up on the tv. Turn the dish into your own home weather station.

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this on, but would I be able to transfer existing recordings on my 722 onto a Hopper?

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    Success! Now why on Earth did I record all this junk? One problem though. The Up arrow won't work. So I can go through the recordings with the Down arrow but once it gets to the bottom it's stuck there. If I change it with Sort by Date or Sort by Name it goes back to the top but still the...

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    Thought of that. It would be a major hitch because of the way we pulled all the cables and recombobulated the house after we got the 722.

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    I've got the info screen but it just immediately runs a test and says 'Error! See details' and it won't change the remote address.

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    When I turn on the receiver it keeps trying to connect to the satellite dish. I can get the main menu, but not sys info.

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    We have an older 510 receiver that's been sitting around doing nothing since we upgraded a couple of years ago. I would like to be able to access the stuff that was recorded on the dvr on the 510, but I'm having no luck. None of the remotes that came with it are still around, the oldest we...
