Dam it all to hell:rant: Can't play back any recorded stuff either( error code 005 ). I have found the important stuff being replayed at a later date though so I'm recording it on the other DVR625. All is good.:popcorn Thanks for the quick reply.

I have a DVR625 that is probably dying. There is a USB port on the back. How do I, or can I save the recorded programs before the tech comes and replaces it? Thanks; Floyd

Thanks for the quick reply. All they list is the VIP508 and VIP722 Code 720 didn't work. Scanning doesn't get it either. I guess we'll just have to continue using the remote for that TV to turn it on and off and adjust volume. No big deal, it's in the spare bedroom.

So I have an old( 6 years ) 301 and remote. I have a Best Buy INSIGNIA Flat Screen. Anybody have any idea what device code to enter to get the remote to work with it? TV - Insignia NS-LCD32-09 Remote - 3.1 IR My manual is old so I checked on Dish Network support and no Insignia TVs listed. Thanks;

Thanks; That sounds better.:)

Over in the Cable Run thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/175735-cable-run.html There is mention of solid wire having less resistance. I have heard this before around here and for some reason; I thought that stranded wire had less resistance. Something about more...

In your first wiring diagram: The top diplexer needs to be flipped over. The coax from the dish goes to the SAT connection. The IN connection goes down to the IN connection of the lower diplexer. The TV connection on the upper diplexer goes to the Other TV. Try looking at the pic in this post...

++ I concur. This is exactly how mine is set up. Works fine, lasts a long time.

I have a spare output on my DPP44, So 200 feet to the shop/man cave would just be a coax run? Outdoors, through the trees. Any special kind?

Anybody familiar with these? Are they any good. 200 feet through a few walls. RF Link AVS-5811 5.8GHz Audio/Video Sys.W/IR Repeater - eBay (item 120414427133 end time May-31-09 05:52:44 PDT)

Does your name ArcLite have anything to do with B52s?

Look at this post and diagram. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/164968-stacking-diplexers-update.html I watch everything from both DVRs on both TVs.

Do you have a separator attached to the 625? One coax from the dish to the separator.? Two lines from sparator to 625 inputs?

Yes it is always better to have a separate coax if feasible. Goofed on initial construction and only had one coax to the bedroom. Someday I will snake another through that wall.

Take a look at this; http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/164968-stacking-diplexers-update.html May give you some ideas what can be done. Diplexers are for combining SAT and UHF/VHF signals to go thru one coax. Then another Diplexer at the other end to split them...
