    612 receivers with 722

    Well i think i would like the 612's since i have three HDTV's and 1 SD TV. I then could have a DVR on all of them. I could save some cash and go with 2 722's but then I would have only HD on two TV's except for the antenna with locals on the third. I think that would be the logic in the...

    612 receivers with 722

    So is the 612 considered a dual tuner or a single tuner in regards to ordering new service. Can a customer get a 722 and two 612's for example when ordering new service with the specials where you see 4 tuners installed for free.

    612 receivers with 722

    I was wondering this question concerning what equipment would be needed. I would like to get a 722 and 2 612's. What else would be needed above and beyond the dish 1000 as far as switches. can you hook up these 3 receivers without the need for other equipment. I believe three receivers each...

    Dishhome interactive

    On Dish there is the interactive page with the dish button on the remote. It will pull up a mosaic of 6 screens showing ESPN, FOOD channel, etc. ( I cant remember the others!!). You can move the cursor over one of the channels and hit select and it will jump to that channel. My question is...

    hdtv question.

    77% wow i am right next to the ant. Maybe the channel is having a prob. I have tried calling a friend to see if he is having any trouble but no answer. They both see enough signal to scan the channel. I will keep playing.

    625 uhf remote

    I am looking in the book to see how to do that right now. The local guy set up the 942 uhf to channel 5 and left the 625 to channel 1 but i wasnt quick enough to see the menus for that.
