If you keep the splitter attach but disonnect the office leg, does your living room tv stay snowy?

Haha! Hi Virginia.

Yes that makes sense, is a standard 2 dvr 4 room setup. Assuming that both DVR's are in the same locations since the original install, getting a tv 2 signal to your living room tv should be simple. You put a two way splitter on the UHF/TV2 side of a diplexer in basement to feed your living room...

Should be a design feature for broadband connected receivers to get guide updates online.

FAIL Hey Dish, only 1 out of three of your products are currently working for me. Satellite sig looks and sounds awesome! Dish online and Blockbuster Movie Pass don't work. Since dish on-demand used to work in my dvr and I used to be able to schedule my dvr from Dish Remote Access, am left...

Yes Hermio that is pretty much it for a wireless solution. For wired, trace both outlets back to LNBF that are feeding receivers. I am guessing that both sat feeds are coming into the basement and home ran where your additional outlets are running from. Behind both of your hd dvrs are...

Have other questions first: Is the dvr in your bedroom HD? Do you have Extenders in the house (xbox 360)? Does your office have a desktop computer with Vista or Win 7? Is the TV in your office HD capable? If so I would suggest relocating the DVR to your office, run splitter from tv2 out to...

Agreed, sling link is my best and easiest bet. Still not done trying to find a software solution. Playing around with Tversity. If all else fails, will get a sling adapter. Anyone know why the 722k doesn't get the same GUI as the 922? Is it because it isn't possible or because it isn't offered?

An alternative is to use a wireless gaming adapter like the Linksys WGA-600n. It will connect to your reciever with an ethernet cable as opposed to usb. The receiver thinks it is physically connected to a router port but the gaming adapter is talking to the wireless router @ 5ghz. I have...

@ Krell, I like the way you think. How do I go about obtaining a gift card? Sling really is the simplest way to stream live TV and I think old Charlie was smart for shacking up with Sling Media. Still, as media delivery moves to wireless home server configs, is a good idea to stay informed...

Thanks for reply Seth. That is a pretty good example of a standard Dish Pro install for multiple tv's. The setup I am working on is a little different, here is a pic of my system.

What I want to do: I want to be able to watch live TV from my Dish Network 722k receiver in 3 different rooms. I want to accomplish this using only the equipment and technology that I currently own. (I know it is possible and I refuse to spend any more money) Problem: I have four cable outlets...

Experimented and came up with my own answer: It doesn't work. Maybe it used to in 2005 but doesn't in 2011. Beleive me I know as I spent a good part of the day trying. There may be a fancy smancy expensive way with some kind of high end combiner/seperator but certainly doesn't work with a...

Learned a cool uhf remote trick from a field install guru. Take the uhf remote antenna off the back of the dvr and detach the tv 2 out coax. Attach and run two jumpers from tv2 out and UHF on back of dvr to the out ports of a two way splitter. Attach coax feeding tv2 to the input of the two way...

Is it possible to use the same wall outlet for high speed internet as well as backfeed tv 2 to my second tv? I have heard that if I reverse a one way tap at outlet and home run, the same cable will carry both signals. Is this true?
