Thanks I'll give that a try. I'm also going to replace the surge protector.

Was having trouble with my 722K locking up and rebooting. Had Dish send me a new one. Once it downloaded updates it started locking down and crashing again within minutes. Signal from dish antenna is good on 119 110 129 and 61.5. I have OTA module and Sling adapter. System info shows no signal...

Does anyone know if Eastern Arc satellites are less compressed than Western Arc? It seems like pq should be better on Eastern Arc since there are no MPEG-2 duplicates on those birds.

Some zip codes are blacked out for dishNet because they want to keep availability open for the rural areas of the market. Also, depending on the market there may be restrictions for what contractor or retailer can install in that area. DishNet is pretty good for casual internet users. If your...

If I was installing it I would run 3 burial rated cables in pvc or flex conduit and put the node in the house. This way the node amplifies the signal before it degrades too much. Also, if you every want to get two Hoppers, you're pre wired for a duo node.

Honestly, 3 mbps down is good for busy times of the day. If you read the terms of service, you are paying for up to 12 mbps down not guaranteed 12 mbps down. A guaranteed 12 mbps service would be 10x more expensive.

When you say round, is it round with an arm coming up in front of the dish or like a dome covering? Most dome motor home dishes are motorized and will pick up only the sat you need for the channel you select. 148° is dead. If it is an normal dish, like the kind usually on a home, it may pick up...

I haven't found a good code that will change inputs on a Vizio. The 6.4 and 5.0 have different codes, so some 6.4 codes will not work with 5.0. Best bet is to order a 21.0 and use the "learn" feature. Edit: to read the code from the other remote Hold TV until lights blink Hit ## Count the blinks

Some of the Bose use radio remotes, not infrared, so the Dish remote won't control it. Can you see an LED or brown plastic filter on the front of the Bose remote?

Haven't had it for a while. Noticed a hiccup on the hour, but not pixelation and audio problems like before.

You'll need to run a checkswitch on the Hopper to see if the problem is fixed.

Quads were only DP or legacy not DPP. You would need two SW34 switches.

It's not a problem from Dish. Assuming everyone from the router manufacturer to the modem manufacturer to the ISP follows the standard UPnP, your Hopper or 922 or 722 would work fine. I've seen this problem 27 times with Windstream equip. Once it was a bad linksys router. Only once has it been...

Don't know but they seem to travel farther on lower numbered addresses. My favorite is 3 or 7 when having trouble with distance. What kind if problem are you having?

I have seen this error many times. Sometimes replacing the router will fix the problem. It may be an error with the modem, or the ISP is blocking certain ports from communicating.
