Hello, I'm using an old 722 receiver on the western arc satellites. Located in the Minneapolis, MN area. It seems that a large number of standard definition channels have disappeared from my guide. The channels are now only HD. Anyone know if Dish removed removed SD programming from the...

Anyone have any idea if this would work? Thanks!!

Happy holidays, I have a newer generation EA dish that doesn't have 77. I'd like to get 77. I have two coax run to the pole outside and have a Dish pro 34 inside. I have a spare 1000.2 WA antenna. My question is can I use this spare receiver as a wing dish to ONLY tune 77 through the DP 34...

Approximately two years ago, Dish installed a black 1000.2 antenna at my house. It's pointed to the eastern arc. It only has 2 LNB's - 61.5 and 72. I questioned the loss of the 77 satellite but the tech stated all the programming was on the other satellites. Dish has now removed a large number...

Ugh! Thanks for the replies. I had Dish out to install service at my home a couple of years ago. My locals are on both East and West. East was a much better line of sight. The installer insisted on installing a 1000.2 eastern dish and lnb. This lnb only sees 61 and 72. There is no feed horn...

Hello - I'm on the Eastern arc satellite. My family enjoys recording Bravo but we record in SD standard definition on the 722 receiver to avoid running out of space. I see Dish has removed the SD Bravo channel from 61 but has moved it to 77. I currently only see the HD channel. I ran a check...

Happy Holidays, I have a 722K and just installed an Over the Air module (OTA) to see local channels. Is there anyway to get the Dish Anywhere app on my iPhone to show the new updated channel lineup, including the OTA channels? Thanks!

Due to tall trees and terrain issues, I've found the need to have 2 Dish 500 antennas for my Dish 722K receiver. One 500 is already installed and is receiving 110 and 119 successfully. The second 500 has already been mounted and I'm attempting to aim it at 129. Both 500's have the DishPro...

Greetings, I am located in the Minneapolis, Mn area. I have a 1000.4 antenna mounted to the roof but had a problem accessing the Eastern Arc satellites. (722K receiver) I read that Mpls locals are now available on the Western arc. I know I can tune the Western Arc satellites without problem...

I have a VIP722, a 4900 and a 510D. I don't want to reduce the # of my receivers. Will Dish replace the 4900 and the 510D since they are on MPEG-2? What hardware are they replacing receivers with? Thanks!

Howdy, I also received the letter in the Minneapolis, Mn area. I have a 722, 4900 and 510D receiver. Would you assume the 4900 and 510D recievers would both be replaced as they are the old MPEG-2 technology? Are all the receivers being replaced by the same 612? Thanks!

Howdy - I have a new 722 receiver. I've got Tv1 hooked up to my hdtv through hdmi and it works great. Is the only option to send video to Tv2 the RCA jacks out (left, right, video)? Is there an option to send the audio/video to Tv2 through coax? What does the "Home Distribution" coax on...

Also, a follow-up. What would I need to do to be able to receive separate programming on the 722 receiver from the 500 antenna? Do I run two coax cables from the 500 to the 722? The 722 came with a Dish Plus separator to run 1 coax line from the antenna to two lines into the receiver...

Greetings, Due to a temporary snafu with satellite alignment and bad weather, I have a 722 receiver hooked up to an old 500 antenna (110/119). I'm getting programming just fine and even the HD channels are showing up. What am I missing? I know they aren't in MPEG4 but they are still...

Greetings, Can I activate a new 722 receiver with an old 110/129 satellite (Dish 500)? I'm having a problem finding the 72/77 satellites with a new 1000.4 antenna and want to activate the receiver before I fix the signal problem. The old Dish 500 antenna is already tuned & working great. I'm...
