    Using Dish Model VIP722K in two locations

    Also highly depends on the UPLOAD speed at the main location. It's probably more common to have a slow UPLOAD speed than a slow download speed.

    hdmi splitter ?

    This sounds to me like it's less to do with the splitter and more to do with how quickly each TV processes the signal and displays it. You could send the same signal to 5 TVs and they may all display it at a slightly different speed. Some TVs have a "game" mode which is meant to cut out some...

    Hopper Upgrades

    I would like pricing info on upgrading from a 722 to a single Hopper system (no Joey, to keep costs down). Will use HDMI to duplicate signal to multiple rooms instead of Joey.

    Dish 722 dumps guide data often

    My 722 does this only if someone was watching TV at the time of the daily update/reboot, and chooses to CANCEL. Then I find the next day the programming schedule is screwy and recordings won't work. Like you said, only fix I could find was to do a Check Switch which will force the update...

    H/J install question

    I wonder if the original poster would be able to convince the installer to install everything in the same room initially. That would allow them to make sure all the equipment works AND get activated. Then it's just a matter of the owner moving things into the correct rooms and making sure the...

    White static looking lines

    I had something similar happen the other day for the 1st time, but in my case it was because I connected my laptop to the wall outlet where the TV was. Went away when I removed my laptop. In my case, must either be dirty power or a bad ground (those outlets are still just 2-prong, so I had a...

    VIP722k 1080p upconversion possible?

    Although I normally agree that the TV's internal upconversion should be just as good (or better) than another device, I have found one TV in my house does a horrible job of it. It's a non-Aquos Sharp from a few years ago, LC42SB45U, and the 1080i image on HD channels is not good. Have tried...

    Chicago Fox HD through AAD causes jaundice?

    If only you could find someone who lives in Chicago with Dish to compare the OTA feed with Dish. I think the person with Comcast and Dish was a great example to help prove it's the station's feed, but OTA and Dish would be another good set of evidence to convince the station something is wrong.

    World Series in the USVI

    Would it be possible for him to see it live if someone offers up their Slingbox info, or would that also be blocked based on IP address? Sorry, I'm not offering, but was just curious if that would work for him. Otherwise, on MLB.com, there's a link to MLB.tv which offers up all the post-season...

    Trade Starz for MAX and HBO

    I did this last night. The confirmation showed my start and end date for free HBO and Cinemax...exactly 3 months. So yes, you will more or less lose that 4th month you would have still had by sticking with Stars. BUT...you have until late October to decide if you want to take the deal, so you...

    Milwaukee Brewers playoff rally on Fox Sports WI - will it be on Dish?

    I didn't get in home in time to look for it on Dish, so had to watch it online via the local news site. For some reason I couldn't get audio with the feed, so I turned on the radio for audio. There was a 7-8 second delay to the radio audio, so tough to watch, but better than nothing. Thanks...

    Milwaukee Brewers playoff rally on Fox Sports WI - will it be on Dish?

    Yes, normal baseball games on FSN WI have the pre-game for about 30 minutes and they usually stick with the channel for a good 30 minutes AFTER the game. I have Dish America Silver, so the RSN channels are included. Ice is exactly right about which games I can/cannot see related to WI/MN on...

    Milwaukee Brewers playoff rally on Fox Sports WI - will it be on Dish?

    Thanks Iceberg for the replies. I also posted a similar question on the Milwaukee Journal website, so maybe the local sports writer will have a contact to ask. If I get an answer, I'll definitely post it back here as well...there must be others out there like me with Dish wanting to see this...

    Milwaukee Brewers playoff rally on Fox Sports WI - will it be on Dish?

    Hopefully one of the DIRT members has the inside scoop to see if Dish will be turning on Fox Sports WI for the Milwaukee Brewers playoff rally tonight from 5-6pm Central. All the advertising around Milwaukee says it's being carried on the radio and Fox Sports WI, but since Dish doesn't carry...

    Will truTV be added to all Dish packages for NCAA games?

    Just curious if anyone knows if we should expect the truTV channel to be added to Dish packages for the NCAA games starting Thurs. I have the Dish America Silver package (old TurboHD package), and I checked last night to verify we do not get truTV in SD or HD. Looks like I'd need to be on the...
