It's just odd that it began all of a sudden. My BluRay works fine, as does a DVD/Hard Drive Recorded that uses an HDMI hookup.

The lights on the front of the box are all on. Also, I have the same issue whether I'm in single or dual mode. I'll try the component cables. Just seemed odd that all was well for about a year, and then the problem cropped up. Thanks for the reply.

Hello - Lately, I've been having an odd problem with either my VIP222K, my Vizio HDTV or both. When I turn on the TV and the Dish receiver is in "screen saver" or "power save" mode (getting the floating message on the screen) I hit "OK" and all is well. If I turn off the set, and come...

I have a ViP222k with two remotes, but would like to use a universal remote with the receiver. None of the Dish/Echostar codes will work the 222k, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any universal devices that will work with my receiver. Have tried a learning remote as well, but can't seem...

Whoops! I did mean the 322, not the 311. Thanks for the advice. I'd also like to consider moving the 322 to her second TV location because she might be getting a new TV soon, and I would like to connect it so she can use the yellow/red/white audio/video hookups rather than the RF, which is...

Hi all - My mother has a dual tuner 311. The receiver is currently with her TV in her living room, and the second receiver controls a TV in her family room. I was wondering how much trouble it is to move the 311 to the TV in her family room, and have the living room set work as TV2. Reason...

PROBLEM SOLVED! :) There is a setting for the two video/audio inputs on the DVD recorder, that lets you choose from using the S-Video in, or the regular (yellow plug) video in. I had the rear panel setting on regular, but the front on S-Video (was using that with my cable box). I changed...

I didn't disconnect anything when I connected the TV 2 output to the DVD recorder RCA inputs. Well, I did one time: took loose the TV distribution cable, which is currently feeding TV 2. The installer said that TV 2 would work with either the coax or the RCA outputs, but not both. But, I can...

TV 1 is connected to the 222k (yes, it is single/dual mode) via HDMI. TV 2 is connected via the TV distribution output. I also have the unused RCA outputs from the TV 1 tuner plugged into the DVD recorder, and it works great. Hooking the unused RCA outputs from the TV 2 tuner into the...

Long-time Dish customer; just upgraded to HDTV with a Vip222K. I usually keep it in Single mode (my other TV is also connected to a 301 on a different dish) but whenever I change the Vip222K to Dual Mode, the picture on TV 1 freezes, although the sound continues. The only way to fix the issue...

Bump. Anyone?

Long-time Dish customer; just upgraded to HDTV with a Vip222K. I usually keep it in Single mode (my other TV is also connected to a 301 on a different dish) but whenever I change the Vip222K to Dual Mode, the picture on TV 1 freezes, although the sound continues. The only way to fix the issue...

Well, I had a tech replace the remote and receiver, and it's the same thing: the "Select" won't make the screen saver go away. I'll try the previous recommendation and post back. Thanks. Keep in mind: the Vip 222K is on all the time; it's never turned off.

I'm a long-time Dish customer and just upgraded to HD with a new dish and Vip222K receiver two weeks ago. All was well for a few days and then I noticed that the "screen saver" would not go away by hitting the "Select" button on the remote for TV1, despite on-screen instructions. Using the...

Hmm-m. Same thing has happened to me several times on my new 222K installation. Pic would pixelate and I would reset the machine (per CSR's directions). It would be okay for awhile and then several days later the same thing. Would affect both TV's of my dual tuner unit. I'll definitely...
