Does anyone here reside in Canada and have the Hopper / Joey setup? Just wondering if anyone has it and is worth upgrading to. Been with the 722k setup for the past 10 yrs!!

My Dish 722k receiver just suddenly goes to a black screen & about a minute or two later goes through the rebooting process. Began happening a few weeks ago and occurs every few days. Any idea why?

My TV2 UHF remotes (6.2 and 21.0) worked for years without trouble in my far away bedrooms, but for some reason over the past few weeks they will only function when I bring the remotes within a few feet of the receiver. I can't figure out what the problem is. I tried using several different...

TV 2's UHF remote worked just fine for years but now the receiver won't respond to the remote unless I am about 6 feet away from it. I tried swapping the TV 2 antenna with a spare I have but still have the same problem. I even tried putting an RG6 cable on the TV 2 antenna jack, then connect the...

Hi, question about dish install. Can it be installed onto stucco (brick behind)? My only other choice is to install on roof but I worry that maybe I will have water leakage problems in the future. Your advice is appreciated.

My signal stats: Satellite 119 TP21 = 36 Satellite 119 TP14 = 16 Satellite 119 TP15 = 38 Satellite 119 TP16 = 27 Considering 2 channels are still coming through from satellite 118, doesn't this mean my LNB is working fine and line of sight is the issue? Or could it still be the LNB?

Question, I have about 13 ethnic channels in my programming from satellite 118 but only 2 are coming through, the rest say something to the effect of 'signal loss issues'. Also, there is a tree he claims is slightly in the way of satellite 129 resulting in some of my HD channels not coming...

If I remember correctly there are 2 channels the VIP722k sends out an analog feed to. I believe it was channel 73 that outputs the tuner 2 feed & I cannot recall what channel (maybe 76) that feeds out tuner 1 on the 2nd TV. Check your settings to see what analog channels are set to feed out...

Ok without internet I lose all Dish's On Demand features, but what else will I lose out on that seems to be 'very nice' to have?

-How many Joey's can I connect to 1 Hopper? -Is an internet connection required to have a Hopper/Joey setup? Still using a 722k. Thanks.

Can I use my existing Western Arc dish with a Hopper & 3 Joeys? Do I use my same 4x4 multiswitch or do I change over to a solo node with a 3-way splitter? Also, does the Hopper have to have an internet connection or can I use whole home DVR without it?

My 722k's been freezing up & rebooting quite often over the past few months, I finally got a 'hard drive failure' message on the screen today. Does anyone know where I can simply get a replacement hard drive? I'd rather just swap it than get a whole new receiver, seems more cost effective.

High - 138 Low - 113 Avg - 120 My 722k freezes up & reboots quite often. Do you think it is due to these high temperatures?

My 722k freezes up alot lately, do you think it has something to do w/the HDD temperature? High - 138 Low - 114 Avg - 120

My 722k has been acting up for the past 2 months. Every now & then when I play a DVR event it'll freeze in the middle of a program, then automatically go through the rebooting process. Any idea why this is happening? Was beginning to think I had a bad receiver until I read your post.
