    Winegard Trav'ler question

    I have the Winegard Trav'ler on my RV. Lately I have been getting a "total signal loss" error message. Most times I can do a check switch and reception returns. I am not sure if it is the receiver , VIP612, or the satellite. Can a repair person do a check to see if the satellite dish is the...

    Do locals automatically appear in guide when DNS stops

    I believe I will also receive the locals as a part of my Dish programming package. Do you know if they they are in HD? And will I also get EPG with the locals?

    Do locals automatically appear in guide when DNS stops

    That is a good idea to have AAD turned on to switch over the timers. Since I will be wintering in the Phoenix area for several months, I thought I would just use the OTA until I leave and then start AAD. How does the SD picture compare to the HD from the DNS. I am disappointed at not having HD.

    Do locals automatically appear in guide when DNS stops

    I am trying to be prepared for what to expect when the DNS programming for RV's ends. I currently have the DNS programming and know that it will end on the 15th. What happens then? Do the locals automatically appear on my guides or do I have to call Dish to activate them. I have the 200...

    No more DNS?

    I have the Winegard Traveler and javelin been getting DNS from Dish in HD and Sd. Now that we go to AAD is SD our only choice? Will there be any way to get Distant networks in our RV in HD?

    Dish Remote Access Trouble - "Your DISH DVR does not appear to be online"

    I am having difficulty with remote access using my Sprint HTC Hero phone and my Vip 612 receiver. I have downloaded the android app onto the phone and can see the TV guide on the phone. I can also record a program in the future using the phone. Since I would also like to access my DVR...

    Feeling panic over VIP612 upgrade...

    I only have one TV and so I ordered the 612. How would the 722 work on only one tv. I do have an HDTV and would like to get the best picture/sound reception. Would it be better with the 722. Right now with the 612 I can record two programs at the same time. Would that be the same with the...

    Remote access

    I have ordered the wifi connection adapter to plug into USB port of VIP 612 receiver. My internet connection is with Sprint MIFI broadband card. Has anyone set up remote access using Sprint/Verizon MIFI card for internet?

    Adding a hard drive to 612

    I have an external hard drive on my VIP 612 and it has worked wonderfully. It has served as a back up for movies, etc. from the receiver's hard drive. I am wondering if I can take this hard drive and connect it to my computer to watch a movie on my computer or copy it to a DVD?

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    Those look like what I need. Just for clarification, a three questions: 1. Does the air form the fans blow into the vents or pull air from vents? 2. Do the fans attach to the receiver or are they just sitting against the side? 3. Do the fans plug into an electrical outlet or the uSB port...

    I want to set up a wireless connection for my VIP 612 so that I can have remote access. I know that I need to purchase the USB wireless connection adapter. My internet access is through the Sprint broadband card, MIFI. I spoke with tech support via chat and he said that it would connect. I then...

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    What kind of fans did you use? I have one small one but it does not seem to help. How much background noise do the fans make?

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    I received call from All American rep who told me about the cancellation of HD distant networks. Since I had already paid for a full year, he informed me that they would replace, for no extra charge, the HD with SD network stations. Be careful, that is a ripoff. I explained to him that east...
