    Group Question

    I just noticed that my 722 now allows me to assign a group to a recorded event and/or timer. I love this feature! I notice I am able to assign a group to multiple recorded events at once, however it appears I have to manually go into each timer and assign each one to a group individually...

    Customizable Groups?

    I remember hearing a while back about being able to create custom groups for recorded shows. So I would be able to create a "Jason" group that would hold all of my shows and my wife could create one for her shows. Is this functionality available yet? If not, anyone know when it's expected?

    722 rebooting

    I just went through two 622's and one 722 that were rebooting. After trying everything else, I finally went and bought a cheap ($40) UPS at WalMart, plugged the 722 into that and since then--no reboots! I'm not sure if I had a faulty power strip or the power coming into my house is not as...

    CBS Chicago Local Audio Dropout

    Same with me. 622 receiver with L616 software and CBS HD is not watchable, just blobs of color and no audio.

    Software Version 6.16

    Came home from work tonight and turned on the 622. On the screen was the acquiring satellite screen. Then, reboot! I unplugged it, waited a few minutes, plugged it back in.. everything seemed to be going ok, make it to the downloading guide data screen, then when CBS came on--reboot! Now it...

    Weak Signal on OTA Antenna Run Side-By-Side w/ Dish

    I bought the Terk last year. It's a Terk HDTVa indoor amplified antenna. I guess I'll have to try and find a place to hide it near the TV, as it looks like the attic is not going to work. I was really hoping to get steller reception up there, I'm surprised it's such a weak signal.

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    I've been looking around, but haven't found a list of what package(s) each new HD channel will be in. I have AT200 w/ HD Essentials and am wondering which ones I should be getting.

    Weak Signal on OTA Antenna Run Side-By-Side w/ Dish

    1. The run is probably about 30-40 feet. 2. The attic does have a few metallic vent pipes in it. The siding is vinyl. No foil-backed insulation. The roof has asphalt shingles. 3. The Terk antenna is powered, however the reviews of the product indicate that the signal strength does not...

    Weak Signal on OTA Antenna Run Side-By-Side w/ Dish

    Yes, I know, thanks. However, I was getting a pretty strong signal with the antenna on top of the TV, and now with the antenna in the attic, I barely get anything. Is it possible to get a worse signal from the attic than the basement?! Do I need to amplify the signal due to the long cable...

    Weak Signal on OTA Antenna Run Side-By-Side w/ Dish

    I have two RG6 qual shield coax lines running side-by-side from the attic down into the basement. One is hooked up to the Dish satellite, the other to a Terk HDTVa antenna. With the Terk hooked up directly to my 622, I get a number of locals with decent signal strength. With the Terk in the...

    UHF TV2 Issues - Splitter?

    Thanks! I know next to nothing about the types of splitters. What type do I need to buy? Is it something I can pick up at Radio Shack?

    UHF TV2 Issues - Splitter?

    I just moved my 622 to the basement and now I'm having problems with the TV2 remote receiving the signals. I tried positioning the antenna higher using coax but it didn't help much. I would like to try the splitter solution mentioned in other threads but need more info. My 622 already is using a...

    UHF Remote Signal

    I just moved my 622 to the basement and now I'm also having problems with the TV2 remote receiving the signals. I tried positioning the antenna higher using coax but it didn't help much. I would like to try the splitter solution but need more info. My 622 already is using a diplexer on both ends...

    Ouch, D's new Advertising Graphic

    Shouldn't the correct grammar in the ad be "Including Ones You've Never Heard Of"? I guess D* is too busy turning on new HD to worry about proof reading.

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 4/9/2008 1:00pm - 178 changes

    Plus, the article discusses the number of HDTV owners who subscribe to an HD signal. The original argument trying to be made was that there are a number of people who buy HDTVs who don't understand that they need a HD signal to view HD content. I would imagine that a number of HDTV owners...
