    VIP 211k reboot problem

    That's a weird problem. I have been using an EHD on a daily basis with my 211k since they offered it and haven't had any problems. I love it!

    Dish Network Center instead of Pepsi Center in Denver??

    Why is there a beginning of an outline of the Dish logo atop the Pepsi Center in Denver? I noticed this during tonight’s game… Dish Network Center? (see attached)

    Use DirectTV LNBF with DISH 211K receiver

    Davec101 is not trying to add a wing dish to his 1000.4, he just has an old single lnb directv dish on his RV. He should have no problems connecting the dish directly to the 211k and receive a single sat. Davec101, just confirm you don't have any old directv hardware (i.e. a directv switch)...

    Use DirectTV LNBF with DISH 211K receiver

    You're good to go!! The older Dish Network and DirecTV single LNB's were cross-compatible with one another. Since a switch doesn't exist in your setup, it will not see one and I believe it will just be considered a "feed" in the point dish screen. I have the same setup when I go camping with a...

    722 program guide issues

    I would recommend re-running the check switch. Confirm that you have all expected satellites, then exit out of the menus. Once you exit after the check switch, the receiver will re-download the guide data. I believe the full guide data is only on 119 and/or 110 (for western arc). If you only...

    Dish Pro Plus Separator

    The separators will not work with single tuner receivers; I've tried it before. You won't get ziltch on the check switch.

    Do your "link" lights illuminate when you connect the ethernet cables?

    E* and single LNB dish with motor?

    Hello all, I posted this question in the Dish Network forum several days ago, but no one could answer my question, so I thought the FTA crowd might help so here it goes... I know this is probably a long shot, but is it possible to use a single LNB dish with a SG2100 motor on a Dish Network...

    Program guide on 722 missing a LARGE amount of information.

    Run a check switch and that should trigger a new download of all guide data after the satellite reacquire.

    E* and single LNB dish with motor?

    Yeah, I figured there would be a tremedous delay between different sat changes when surfing. I was mainly concerned about performing a check switch, I was wondering how many sat locations would be searched during this process if it was happy with the setup.
