Must have been just a glitch but it seems all straightened out now. Little things like this start popping up less and less over time as they work out the bugs. Glad to see you got it all working now. Cheers

port 1 of DPP44 is hooked only to the inserter, and port 2 and 3 to the solo node. Strangely, it hasn't been doing it the last two days, maybe just a fluke but they *might* have fixed it already. (Recordings were in progress monday) Thanks for the support!

I'm not terribly great with Facebook, but I have "liked" their page there. I honestly can't find a link to message them with. Is there another avenue for me to contact the engineering team with? A DIRT member to contact who can relay the message, etc? Thanks,

The 3rd tuner was downloading the EPG and the 2nd joey had no free tuner, so it mirrored? You probably know this now but what he might have not known was the red shortcut button views your three tuners. If at the time that mirroring was happening you had pushed the red shortcut you could choose...

Won't fly. It just shows "x" because the signal on the 77º is so low it doesn't show on check switches on any of the receivers. However, I can't trigger it tonight but if it does it again tomorrow morning i'm going to try hooking straight to LNBF with wing and forget the switch, see if it still...

There's a lot of things I could talk to engineering about. I kinda thought this would have been more of an obscure issue. As a DNS tech me and two other techs cover this area of Maine (not including retailers and subs) and so far that I know I'm the only one up here with a hopper install so far...

When in DVR, observe in upper right, you probably have "My Folders" selected. Use green shortcut key to select automatic folders by title, this is similar to what 722k had for auto-collapsing same-name recordings. If you want to create your own folders, leave that set to "My Folders", go into...

Whenever I turn on my hopper after its been in standby for a long while (overnight), it wants to run a check switch. It doesn't have any issues with tuning channels or anything, everything works fine, check switches run fine. What could be causing this? My satellite configuration is this...

2150mhz between LNB and Node, 3ghz between node and hoppers, 950mhz (RG-59 included) between node and joeys. Dish is really hard about letting you DIY installs. I'd like to say it is a requirement but if you can get a retailer to set up the DIU work order, they might be willing to hand you the...

I'm sad to say that i've tried hard to transfer timers from 722k to Hopper via the 21 remote to no avail. I got the timers saved to the remote but couldn't get the system wizard to even look at the 21 remote. Enabled IR and set SAT address to #1, menu worked fine, but initiating System Wizard...

As we all know whenever they change the remotes they fix one thing for some TV models that break it for other remotes. Find a different code for your TV using the remote manager, or, utilize the learn function. You're offered an option to add learned commands to existing code...

I myself have always believed this theory about the Duo Nodes. One particular host port not working (the same one on both duo nodes tested) seems to reenforce the idea of bad LNB or cabling between LNB and Node, just as jawxx suggested.

Ensure all three SAT lines are getting good signal. Are the SAT Inputs on the Duo Node connected to 44 Switch or directly to LNBF? If switch, ensure the SAT inputs are not passing through a power inserter before going to DuoNode (use ports 2,3,4 on switch, port 1 for power inserter). Either way...

Indeed I did consider the April Fools Joke idea long before I posted that. However the attached scan right here may give curious people what they really wanted to see. Sorry for the folks out there on a slower internet connection. (1.5 MB PDF attached)

K folks. Very close to info available from internal dish talks. April 1st, 2010 is when we *should* get the 922 Available. Despite several setbacks, echostar has been quiet about release dates since they have failed to bring it to us in 2009, but they should have all the bugs fixed in it now to...
