Hi, following is the screenshot from the VIP 622's System Info One screen, showing the Sats 119, 110 and 129. Am i good to go in keeping the Dish parts and just replace VIP 622 with 922? Thanks much!

Hi, couple of pictures below showing the outside dish (dish 1000), splitter and power inserter i have with the VIP 922, Can the above DISH parts reused as they are with VIP 922? If not, then what part need replacing? Thinking about replacing the VIP 622 with VIP 922 unit...

Well, got it done last week. Urgh, how ridiculous... 2 of each... ARGH!!! :mad: And tomorrow, upgrade from dish 1000 to dish 1000+... This is all too messed up, just to pickup Korean programmings... Urgh!!! Damn Dish, why did you loose SBS...

Hey, thanks much! Yep, i did see that KBS World is available as part of programming package i have, thus i'm really NOT ordering the Korean Variety Pack from DISH, but merely trying to pick up the KBS World via the 4th satellite (and still keep my setup with 1 dish), hence the need to upgrade...

Okay, thanks again! By the way, "by good signal", would that be at least 70% signal strength? If not, then what would you consider as good signal strength? Thanks much!

Yes, i would, except i'm looking for a single dish solution since i'm getting a dish from Directv. So adding dish 500, i would end up with 3 dishes. :eek:

So what i forgot to mention is that i sent from SuperDISH to dish 1000. SuperDISH was huge compared to dish 1000, and dish 1000 looks so TINY where SuperDISH once was. Anyway, the installer of dish 1000 ended up using the existing SuperDISH bracket. The SuperDISH mounting looked strong and...

Thanks! So i called into DISH Network, and pretty much comes down to, pay $59.95 to upgrade to dish 1000+ unit. Looks like i don't even need to use my own DPP 44 switch after all. Not bad of a deal for the upgrade (i think). Question: Can the installer still use the same bracket from...

Thanks again! So looks like what you are suggesting would STILL REQUIRE use of DPP 44 switch, right? So it's between having 2 dishes attached to the side of the home versus single, 1000+. Before knowing about 1000+ existence, i was asking if i could mix dish 1000 and SuperDISH. And...

Thanks much for the info! Didn't know about 500+, 1000+ and 1000.2 dishes... Yikes! :up Glad to see that DISH is moving their international channels to 118.7 satellite... I do have DPP 44 switch from previous use with SuperDISH setup (prior to getting dish 1000), so that leaves me...

Hello, Currently my setup is as follows, a. dish 1000 b. vip622 HD DVR , and here's a screenshot from vip622 system info display, With this setup, is it possible to get the following channel, Someone mentioned 118.7 and 119 are close enough where i should be able to pickup the channel#...

I've been hearing that DISH is about to scrub their DVR lines for both SD and HD (sometime in November 2005???) and that's been holding me up from going with DISH for SD/HD viewing with their DVR 625 and HD receiver 811. My plan is to lease DVR 625 and HD receiver 811. Even for new...

I'm in the same boat, i.e. every few days or so the Remote Battery Low sign shows up So i'm experiencing the same symptom with my UHF remote that came with my DVR 522 unit. Your problem profile fits exactly to what i'm seeing. :( I got tired of replacing batteries (swapping out once...

For the benefit of others hooking up a new DISH DVR 522 unit to DPP 44 switch... Found out that L061 software version that came with my 522 unit (got one off eBay) do not support DPP 44 switch. I should have read the following document which states the 522 needs at least L162 version to...

For the benefit of others, the ReplayTV remote code of 0775 worked just fine... The remote code of "0775" which worked just fine with my DISH DVR 508 continued to work with my DISH DVR 522 (replaces 508 unit) for remote controlling TV1 tuner using ReplayTV 5504 IR Blaster (i didn't have to cold...
