Yeah I've done all of that...

All of my other majors are 100 (according to the 722) In fact, I believe NBC shows 100 too. I'll check out the diag screen later today. The builtin OTA in the TV shows others like ABC to be ~92, and NBC ~88. I am 7 miles from the towers. Using a CM4228 in the attic.

Well, I had hoped it would not degrade my OTA since that is the best HD I have. The 722 tuner is more sensitive, as I was having problems with NBC dropping out every 10 seconds, and that problem ceases to exist on the 722. Why do I have to choose b/t having DVR and having good HD? ugh. Thats...

Output is 1080i into a Pioneer Kuro 6010FD, 1080p 60" tv. My gut is telling me that the 722 is recompressing the broadcast signal again.

I had a 722 installed the other day. While it pulls in stations much better than my TV's built-in receiver does (a welcome surprise), it seems that the video quality is degraded. I notice macroblocking mostly with motion. Is this confirmed?

Sounds like two solutions, thanks. I will most likely just hook them both up to ethernet. The installer comes tomorrow, hopefully things will go smoothly with my garage addition.

Its the new Pio 60" plasma. It has to get HDTV :) This will be our media/theatre room for now.

I think it was swept to 3GHZ, and its direct burial.

Yeah thats the thing, the detached garage with room doesn't have a street address, and in the city meeting I had to go to, can't be rented out, must only be occupied by immediate family if someone did live there, and it shares all other utilities with the main house. I am just back and forth...

Honestly I'd rather him leave the box and I'd take care of it myself later. There is no labor to be done. I was reading this thread and it had me concerned about a tech "reporting" it: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/108084-inlaw-apartment-2.html

I will need to do some work to hook up the house DVR to the internet (buy a wifi dongle). But I can hook them both up by internet. So, what do I do. Try to have them install the second receiver in the garage (the second floor is where its going), or just let them install it in the house and...

Ok, I've been reading about this audit crap, and now I'm concerned. Should I just have them hook up the two boxes to my two tvs in the house (right now its one 942 doing the TV2 thing)? I can set up TV2 again and just move the damn box later. I don't want any problems.

Oh yeah, the place is heated. It has its own kitchen too. Will make a great rec room. Again, due to trees, I couldn't put a dish out there. It shares electricity and water with the house. There isn't any way to say its not part of my property. It isn't rented out (city says I couldn't if I...

Separate dish, separate acct? Actually, the garage sits around tress, so that wouldn't have worked. I have about $100 into it. No big deal. If I have too much loss, I could run RG-11 for less loss.

It has a vonage line out there, so it will be hooked up to a phone, just not the same number as the house. It is on my property. We sit on about 2 acres. So the installer shouldn't give me any beef about it? What about the receiver working? Do I have any advantage having another receiver...
