    Is Dish zooming HD channels now?

    Thanks guys. I was hoping that was it, but wasn't aware of the format button. Tried to fix it in the menus, but only saw an option for 16:9 which is what it was set to. I will try the format button next!

    Is Dish zooming HD channels now?

    Strangest thing, I started noticing I can't see the entire station identification watermark on HD channels now. Noticed it on Discovery and Food network. On Discovery, while watching Mythbusters, I can see "NEW EPISO", while if I turn one channel down to SD Discovery, I see the full "NEW...

    Did TurboHD lose G4?

    Hm, ok. How long does that last? Seems like I had it for a month or two.

    Did TurboHD lose G4?

    Sorry, I don't come here everyday, I just noticed my DVR is making 0:00 recordings for shows on G4 now, so I tried tuning to the channel and I no longer get it. Did we lose G4?

    Possible to get locals from 2 cities?

    I dunno if I am diplexing now or not. The installer put up the 1000.2 dish I think, on the western arc. It's connected to 1 box. Seems like nothing should be diplexed. Any idea on what parts are needed and how to wire it?

    Possible to get locals from 2 cities?

    I guess I could turn the Yagi toward chattanooga. It's pointed to Atlanta right now and hasn't been used in 2 years. When it was working, it would only pick up Fox. Not sure if CBS Chattanooga is close enough to get. How does DISH OTA work? Can I splice the antenna output into the dish...

    Possible to get locals from 2 cities?

    We have both Comcast cable and Dish TurboHD. With Comcast, we get the Atlanta and Chattanooga CBS affiliate. Therefore I can watch both the Falcons/Saints game and the Titans/Colts game in SD. With TurboHD, I only get the Atlanta CBS affiliate so I can't watch the Colts game at all. Is...

    Is it possible to control a 1 TV setup (vip 722) with remote 2?

    I'm in single mode, but remote 2 does nothing.

    Is it possible to control a 1 TV setup (vip 722) with remote 2?

    I'd like to hide my box in a cabinet and use remote #2 (the uhf remote) to control it with no line of sight. Is this possible? When I switch the batteries over to remote #2 it doesn't do anything. The box is in 1 tv mode.

    How often does a vip 722 "call home"?

    Well I think you can make it manually call home. They mistakenly billed me the $5 when I first got set up and the tech guy had me do a manual call home.

    How often does a vip 722 "call home"?

    Ok, so how long can it stay disconnected before I get the $5 fee? Can I just connect it 1 day out of the month?

    How often does a vip 722 "call home"?

    We don't have a phone line so I have my 722 hooked up via ethernet to call home so I don't get the $5 charge. We just got a Blu Ray player with Netflix streaming that I want the wireless bridge connected to (the router and cable modem is a LONG way from the living room). Do I need to hook...
