Wow, so many routes to take. So the sling box I have is a good old red square box that sits on top of the receiver with the HD plug . So you are saying that will sling to an app on my other smart tv? That, if it works out would be the ideal situation since I don't need any extra...

Im not sure this is even the right place to ask this but here. goes. My equipment is dish 722 , sling and a Samsung 6000 series flat screen the usual WIFI . So I put a tv in the basement in the workout room and it's a 40' run of cable to the thing as it ends up. Of course the Samsung...

Yeaaayyy. Somehow I figured it out just now. It was the Dish Installation Menu. I went on and changed the 16 9 to 4.3 and it went back to normal. How the thing changes itself I have no idea. I just hope I can remember it when it happens again.

I will describe this as best I can. Ok I have a 4 year old Samsug , Dish and Netflix setup with K722 receiver. I have had them all as configured for a long time. The issue is screen sizing. I leave MSNBC on a lot to watch the stock prices. Works great yadda yadda. Here is where it...

Receiver is a 722K. Angie from the "DIRT" team contacted me. Maybe she can take care of whatever it is or at least shed some light. I gave her my info but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. FWIW I am getting about a 46 to 52 % signal on both 72 and 77 which are showing me being...

Oh yea I did forget to say where I lived Northern NY way up by Burlington Vt. Yes I had done the switch check several times and did it again with the tech results all ok, unplugged and reset ect . Did all of that. It's my own roof too so I know nobody has been up there but me. I just...

About a month ago my system which has worked fine for years began having issues with locals dropping in and out. It got worse over the next couple weeks and whenever there was any sort of heavy cloud cover got really bad. I checked for trees and there was one branch way out there that...

Yea I bet I am out of luck with this one but I'll ask anyways. When I use the Dish remote to move the Samsung's volume control it only moves one increment per push of the button. It wouldn't seem like such a hassle but it seems there is quite a lot of movement along that span to make a...

Thanks for the replies guys. Ok so now I know what that double set of mini component plugs is for. I can get a 30' set of components and snake those into the bedroom and that will do the deed. I don't mind the same programs only being able to be watched as it's what we had before and...

I just did an upgrade last month to a Dish 722K hooked up to a Samsung 6000 LED HD tv which is new as well. I have the second tuner set for out daughters room. Before with my old Sony projector I had a coaxial running into the master bedroom from a splitter to the #1 in the living room...

Yea, I never though of the possible interference the smart tv could cause and sure enough it seems to have worked. I put a short piece of coaxial onto the receiver and screwed the antenna onto the end of it which moved it about 10' from the tv. It seems to have worked. Of course none...

Background, We just upgraded from our existing 522 DVR to a 722K HD setup installed by Dish's installer. He set it all up including the RF number 2 in my daughters room . I found later after he left that the signal wasn't getting through to the receiver in the living room. The...

Well, its been over a month and this just died. Whats been happening with the freeze ups for you guys? Just how does this rig work anyways? Is it always running via the hard drive like a computer due to the DVR or is this completely outside that? My main reason for wanting to keep...

Mine Has Been Doing It Too Mine has been sticking momentarily lately too. Not too often probably once every hour and only momentarily. I don't have locals. Whats up?????

My 522 which is about 3 years old has started hesitating sometimes. Its just momentary like when a DVD skips a line or when you begin to get rain fade. I would say it sticks for about 1/4 second then all is normal. I know these guys run on hard drives like a computer so the big question is...
