Thanks, that's great to know! Always learning something new here. Now, does anyone know if timers from a 722/722k backed up to 20.x/21.x remote can be restored when upgrading to a Hopper? Or does the backup/restore process only work when swapping between the same receiver model? I'm guessing...

I believe the 722k has the ability to backup settings and timers to its remote, whereas the 722 doesn't have this feature. Can be helpful when doing a swap due to equipment failure.

I would sure love to see better mirroring options as well. It's the main thing holding me back from upgrading my Vip722. I have 7 TVs scattered throughout the house and very rarely need to have something different on one of them. It's just my wife and I, so I wish there was a better way for...

I suppose I would have to do that at the dish? (It's on a high roof.) I still use the wing for AAD Distants.

(bump) No comments or ideas? I'm using a 1000.4 dish looking at the Eastern Arc with a Dish 500 on the wing looking at 119. Do you think this is a receiver or LNBF issue? It seems weird that the only problem I'm having has to do with the guide.

I've been having a similar problem every couple days on my 722. If I look at the timer schedule, all events show "No Info Available." (Of course the Guide says this also, about an hour or two beyond the present time.) Doing a Check Switch and re-downloading the Program Guide takes care of the...

I only have an original 722, so an OTA module wouldn't be an option for them to offer me. But then, I am too far away (and in a valley) to pick those channels up with an antenna anyway. However, I just got off of chat with the Loyalty Department and they gave me $10 off for 10 months. I am...

From KLJB's Facebook page: :rolleyes: If this is true, is Dish doing the right thing by taking the channels off the air during negotiations (even if they have written permission to leave them up)? I generally support Dish because it seems they are doing the best they can to keep the...

The original post referred to a vip722. Of course the vip722 and the 722k aren't using the exact same software. So is this a known problem on the vip as well? Our vip722 has been acting weird for the last two days also. I've had to reset it at least 3 times because it wouldn't respond to...

I just used the chat as well. There was a long wait in the queue for the Loyalty Dept but the person I eventually got was outstanding. Once we got through the basic questions she offered me the Roku with no hesitation. I then asked if I still had to purchase the episodes once I got the box...

Some wise person here clued me into this a couple years ago: Amazon.com: Connectland CL-U2MNHUB-4B 4 Ports USB V2.0 Mini Hub (Black): Electronics It's a hub that has independent switches for each of the four ports. In other words, you can leave both of your drives plugged in and just use...

Ditto. Zach totally hooked me up! He was a real pleasure to work with. :D

Agreed. But the problem really is only noticeable with "in studio" shows (NFL Gameday, Draft coverage, etc) where you can actually see their lips move. It is a very small delay, but it is there. I don't think you would be able to notice this during a game where you aren't watching the...

Yes, I noticed this too. However, I also remember noticing this problem occasionally during the last season. I don't think it is only a recent phenomena. Thanks for pointing it out!
