good point, I'll try this tonight. Thanks!

I did indeed verify channel set up was all correct. I was using diplexors so that I wouldn't have to use the cable outlets and just use the satelitte cables at first, then I switched to the cable outlets to see if that would work.

So I'm trying to hook up my second TV to my 622 using the coax output on the back of it. I've hooked up two diplexor's, one in the back of the 622 combining the input of the two sat signals and the output of the coax for tv2. The second one is hooked up outside where my switch is with line...

Here is my question, I just got my 622 today. Besides the need for the second dish, what is stoping me from hooking up my 622 today and start using it?

6 in Des Moines? I hope I'm one of them...

so let me get this right, if my current sat dish is pointed to 119 and 110 I can upgrade my 811 to the 211 and get the second dish pointed to 61.5 for $50? Too bad I can't use my best buy cards on one of those new fancy smancy hd dvrs. That's about the only way me wife is letting me come...

what software do I need to get into the chat room? when I click on the link all I get is a small red X in the top left corner.

Before I go buy the equipment to add the 61.5, can someone tell me if my ebay shopping list is accurate? 1. Single LNB? 2. 18 inch dish 3. SW21? I want to connect this to my dish 500 that is pointed at 110 and 119 currently through the sw21, is this all I need besides the obvious coax...

Do they offer a box with an OTA tuner in it? Or does anyone know if this is in their plans?

Or, as I think about this more, is it this? Do I need to take the arm that holds my LNB and make sure that is pointing to my 205 degrees on the compass? Although I'm not sure how I can change that just yet.

mine looks great with my dvi cable, must be either your cable or tv.

What? so it's not the angle, protractor, looking thing that is actually bolted to my house? I have three angles I can adjust, two are behind my actualy dish bowl and the third is below the dish attached to the bracket bolted to my house. This third one isn't the azimuth? This one only go up...

Wicked upset here :mad: , I had my dish installed in January of this year and have zero problems for a long time. Recently we've had some bad winds that have caught my dish and moved it off it's settings. Two of the angles I need to line up are relatively simple, b/c they have the protractor...

thinking of switching from Dish. My question is this, with their HD/DVR box, does it record HD channels in HD, or does it convert them to SD for playback? Also, is their HD box a HD STB? Can I plug my antenna into it to get locals in HD? Or am I SOL on that?

yeah, that's my problem. My wife thinks I've spent too much on the HDTV, suround sound and all the dish I already get. Paying another $100 for another dish is like asking for her womb. WHY GOD, WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME?
