that makes sense now... one last thing, if i hook up an OTA antenna to the LNB's input jack, would the OTA signal be carried down to the grounding block onto the existing single wire that is entering the house? would a diplexer then be able to separate the OTA and dish signal appropriately?

I was misinformed.. I actually have a 1000.4 dish and a DP Plus 1000.4 LNBF. The previously described wiring is the same though. I seem to have ONE wire from the LNB running to the grounding block, then one wire coming from the grounding block entering the house where it goes to a 722. The...

it would work but it may bog down your entire network to wireless b speeds. i am using a tmobile-branded linksys router, the WRT54G-TM, that has been reflashed to a third party firmware called DD-WRT. It can be set up as a wireless bridge.

Thank you for responding.. The Dish promo for a 612 dvr installed for $25 sounds like a much easier alternative at this point.

i signed up for the turbo hd silver+locals+dvr advantage package back in october. here is setup installed by the dish tech: a single wire is coming from the 500 dish on the roof onto the grounding block by the side of the house. another wire then enters the house from the grounding block...

I am currently watching TV2's digital 480i content over coax on a brand new HDTV right now while a HD box is "en route." Have you guys looked at the picture quality of TV2's coax 480i output on a HDTV? Once you are used to 720p/1080i, it's tolerable at best. Certainly not as bad as analog...

Philips SRU4105/27 Universal Remote Control even had the code built-in for my Akai 42" plasma which was the first non-Harmony remote that I've seen that had it. Plus it has the learning feature. For eight dollars at buy.com, you can't beat it. Philips SRU4105/27 Universal Remote Control -...

the 612 is a single tuner DVR with OTA and the 211 is a single tuner with OTA, i can live with it. i am familiar with the additional receiver fee even if i buy as the fee was factored into the cost analysis over 24 months as seen above.

I just went thru the same scenario when trying to have a Vip211 shipped to me for $50 as listed on their website. 3 reps said that the Vip211 cannot be shipped to me, only installed for $100. I was also offered a 612 w/ installation for $25. This would mean that I'd be paying $6/month for...

you are blowing air INTO the exhaust vents on the left side of the receiver and you are getting those numbers? kudos to you, good man.

The reported high temp dropped from 132 to 122 this morning after it sat at 132 for about a week! I anticipate the low and average temp to drop accordingly later on this week.

After 2 weeks of running my fan setup, the temperature readings have dropped steadily from 138/104/118 to 132/95/109. :D I would like the average temperature to come down close to 100.

many thanks to this thread... due to space constraints, my 722 sits near other devices underneath the tv and i was getting 138/104/118 even with a laptop cooler underneath. i had an extra 80mm industrial-grade Papst brand fan(all-metal construction) that was rated for 8V-16V along with AC...

have you checked the temperature of the hard drive inside the 722?
