    Need help with Dish reconfigure email

    What is so urgent? Hi, I just got the infamous URGENT ACTION REQUIRED letter in the regular mail. Some of you were notified many months ago. It is May 2nd 2011. I guess it's not that urgent. I live at 40 north and 105.5 west, zip 80466. I get all my programming including HD on 110, 119...

    Converting DPP to a single LNB

    Azimuth + elevation for 129 That is a good sugestion on aiming a 30" dish at 129. I can do that. I still can't find the Azimuth and elevation for 129. Satellite finder web site doesn't have 129w for echostar. There is a 129w CIEL-2, whatever that is. Is it OK to use the numbers for 129w...

    Converting DPP to a single LNB

    OK, Which satellite is the one I need to align to? A dish tech told me it was 129, but I can't find the azimuth and elevation for 129. Dish must think that everyone has a 1000 dish that gets all 3 satellites. Another ??, Since I have just the 722 receiver, I could use a dpp single LNB...

    Converting DPP to a single LNB

    Hi, I have an unusual dish setup, because of the snow fade I get here in the Colorado Mountains. I have 2- 30" winegard dishes for 110 1nd 119. I have a DPP33 switch. I get really heavy snow several times a year, and the 30" dishes help a lot. I also have a 722k receiver. I want to put up...

    612 locks up or freezes

    I have checked the ground, and all the techs have checked and redone the grounds. That would have been a good guess though.

    612 locks up or freezes

    If you are referring to the 612, I had 3 and everyone locked up in fast forward. The 722k doesn't have the over the air (OTA) connectors or an S-video output. If You don't need these, I would demand a 722k. It will not cost more, except it will extend the 2 year commitment. For me that was...

    612 locks up or freezes

    I had a Dish contractor here, and he installed the 722k receiver. I have no more lock up problems. The tech was very competent. Now I have another ?. The 722k does not have the OTA connectors, and it does not have an S-video output. I really would like to have the OTA connectors. I need the...

    612 locks up or freezes

    I did unplug it from my surge protector, no change. There is nothing close enough to cause an EM effect. Dish doesn't have much info on a 622, what is the difference between a 722 and a 622. I know it's 100, but seriously how much smaller is the drive in a 622? Other than drive size, are they...

    612 locks up or freezes

    I know, it sounds impossible, but it's true. I have it in a semi closed shelf, so I put in 2 fans that keep the area at room temp. It's definitely not hot, just barely warm. I did pull it out as far as I could, it fails so rarely that I will leaving it out for a longer test. I had a DVR 510 in...

    612 locks up or freezes

    new 612 locks up Yesterday a Dish tech replaced my 612 with a different one, and he checked my installation. Guess what, the new 612 locks up just like the previous 2. I have done some more checking while it's frozen, and none of the remote buttons work except the TV power. I cant even power...

    612 locks up or freezes

    That's interesting. Sounds like the same problem just showing itself differently. I have a Dish tech coming over today to "fix" my problem. I will probably have to keep getting new 612's until I get one that works. I wish they made another dual input single output reveiver with a big hard...

    612 locks up or freezes

    By a soft reboot, do you mean holding the power button down? That does a reset of most of the box. Pulling the AC power will do a major reset. I have tried both at different times. It still locks up. Now Dish wants to send a tech out. I guess they think I installed it wrong. If it works, it...

    612 locks up or freezes

    I had a new 612vip installed by Dish in the middle of June. It started locking up (freezing) when I would fast forward a recorded or a paused program. It would freeze for 15-45 seconds and then continue what it was doing. It would do it 1-3 times a night. I received a replacement 612, 7 days...

    Vip 612 Woes

    This is way off the original topic of this thread. The 510 would erase recordings whether it was 10% or 80% full. Believe me Dish tried to fix it. Apparently this is a known problem with the 510. There are several threads on this forum about 510's erasing recordings. Dish would not have...

    Vip 612 Woes

    I had a DVR 510 that was OK for what we use TV for. The 510 has a nasty habit of deleting recordings when ever it wants to. Not PPV movies that get deleted after 24 hours, I mean anything I recorded. It always deletes the oldest recordings. Sometimes once a month sometimes every day. Anyway...
