    NHL CI.. Hmm I'll pass, compliments of last year's lockout. I wonder they expect us to pay full price for it now?

    Vip 722 Internal Hard Drive Replacement?

    I just wanted to confirm that still to this date, no one has been able to successfully install a greater than 500GB internal HDD in the 722 (or equivalent)? Thanks

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    Thanks folks! You guys have answered all of my questions. Much appreciated. :) At this point, I figure cascading 2 DP34's from a DP Twin would be the most cost effective for powering multiple Single-Tuners.

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    While yes, I agree with your suggestions. I prefer the DP34 over the DPP33 because I plan to feed single tuners only. The DP34 would theoretically allow 4 single tuners over the 3 single-tuners that a DPP33 would allow. But like you mentioned it sounds like mixing DPP lnb's with DP switches is a...

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    Okay that all makes sense. So it's decided that the DPP separator can't feed two Single-Tuners independently. Now has anyone attempted a DP34 switch with a DPP Twin or Quad? I'm guessing someone has at some point! Thanks for all contributions and thoughts added to this thread :)

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    So it sounds like 8 Single-Tuners fed directly from a DPP Quad and 4 DPP Separators does not work? Has anyone directly attempted this? What do you think of 6 Single-Tuners fed from a DPP Quad (outputting 2 of the 4 DPP Quad feeds) and a DP34 (using 2 of the 4 DPP Quad feeds, outputting an...

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    I'm referring to the DPP Quad, as demonstrated in the image below (Bell TV in Canada uses the same equipment). The DPP Quad does exist. Now the image below shows only the Dual-Tuners using the separators. I'm wondering if two Single-Tuners can replace each of those Dual-Tuners in the image...

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    Just thinking out loud here, but is it possible to: connect 8 Single-Tuner receivers on only 110 & 119, using just a DPP Quad and 4 DPP separators? I was unsure whether you can use one DPP separator for every 2 Single Tuner receivers. (I only see the DPP separator mentioned for the...

    EPG Remaps

    Thanks for the clarification Gary. Thought it would be cool, but guess I'm not missing out on much. And YES my eyes are traumatized when watching One World Sports (ch. 9794)...looks like a VGA technology. haha

    EPG Remaps

    Hi, I was looking at the TheList! and noticed Dish remaps the internationals along the 600-624 channels. I don't get my English Int'l channels remapped to 600 on my 722. I was wondering if others have their ethnic packages remapped. This question extends to other remaps such as 98-99 from the...

    922 remote control vs 722

    Will a 32.0 remote work with a 722k? And in your opinions, is it worth an extra $5 over the 21.0 remote? From the numerous threads I only see complaints of the 32.0. What are the significant advantages/disadvantages between these two remotes? Thanks for any help.

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    119 did the trick! Thank-you for all the replies. Re-aimed to 119 and the software downloaded and installed immediately within 10 minutes! Wouldn't have tried that if it wasn't for my fellow Satelliteguys! Thanks again!

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    Tried both with DPP44 + Separator and direct double feed with no switch/separator. Signal is the same either way, both times passing the check switch. Lyngsat is telling me 72.7 actually has the activation and eepg feeds on tp 21, and 61.5 just has epg feeds. I will try 110 & 129 tomorrow as...

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    I wish you or I could verify that somehow. Dish support lady told me 72.7 @ TP 21 should do the job. Do you know which TP at 110 or 61.5 should do it?
