Greetings I have a 1000.4 on a post with a solo node hanging on the dish. I am going to move the solo node into a detached garage to get it off the back side of the dish where it is just hanging, and get it inside. I will run 2 cables from the dish to the node and then a single cable from the...

i just took a look at the lnb and now it all makes sense. i see the input that i will run the 500 to. skew at 0 right? only looking at 61.5 the odd thing is this is what my lnb looks like this diagram says i should not get 61.5. the 2 cables go to the solo node. but hopper says i am...

it has been a year and i am back at this. the trees are leafing out. since my original post, i have installed a hopper. so now the question is: if i: swap the turbo dish and the 500. cover the 61.5 on the turbo and use it for 72 and 77 use a single location on the 500 for 61.5 where does...

Greetings, I currently have a dish 1000.4 set up for eastern arc. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The trees are leafing out and 77 is starting to become obstructed. 72 is a little better and 61.5 is clear line of site. There is one cable coming from the dish to the DVR. Here is the dish...

greetings, i am getting back to his now that my HT is set up. there appear to be two types of extenders. this one has little sticky emitters that go over the IR receiver: BlastIR by Sewell, IR Emitter and Receiver Kit - SW-29311, $44.95 this one uses an emitter that sits close to the...

greetings, i would like to place my 722 in a cabinet that will not receve the IR remote signal. is there a device that will maybe connect to the uhf antenna port, run a cable by the tv and then receive IR commands from my Harmony 550? thank you for any help. bruce

a question on streaming and the interface: is there a way to view streaming titles on-line and add to a queue to watch later or is the interface in the 722 the only way to see and choose? i see the filters, but it is still a long list and linear. BTW: PQ is very good TIA

thank you for the reply. i called dish and the first csr said no problem and transfered me to dispatch and the call got dropped. called back and got all set up and am scheduled for Saturday install. thanks again geek
