    Need VIP 722 IR repeater

    Perhaps I am missing something here. My configuration is with a 722 in dual mode such that my UHF remote controls the SD side of the DVR and IR is used on the HD side. Since I need to pass through walls that are rather close, my issue is just a line of slight one for the IR side of the DVR. If...

    Need VIP 722 IR repeater

    I have been looking for a reliable IR to UHF repeater for my 722 DVR. Dish had a system call the "IR to UHF Pro Remote Control Upgrade kit", but this was discontinued a few years ago. I have seen a few sold on Ebay for around $100 bucks. Some satellite web stores still list this repeater for...

    Broadband problem VIP 722

    I just returned home after a 3 week RV trip and am just now catching up on the posts. Just before I left I posted that a simple network hub/switch with a timer that turns the network hub/switch off and on periodically was a possible solution. I am happy to report that it does in fact work very...

    HOME AND RV

    Viewing remote content Beware of this promise. Dish Online has ongoing issues with remote access and remote viewing. Just search this forum for verification. I've had a useless sling adapter for months now, because Dish Online can almost never connect to either of my home DVR's (1 722 and 1...

    dish network would like ideas on how to improve their product through the internet.

    The features I miss the most that Dish lacks are: 1. The ability to network my DVRs to each other. I didn't need an external disk drive/ sling box/adapter/sling receiver... I could watch content from the DVRs in other rooms with ease. I could also transfer programs from one receiver to...

    Coming Soon: The DISH Sling Adapter!

    OK, so I can view a progam from a remote location, but I still can not network my 722 receivers like TIVO, AT&T and DirectTV (just to name a few). This is perhaps the most missed feature from my TIVO days.

    Increase recording capasity?

    KKlare You nailed the problem. I have a new Seagate 1Tb FreeAgent EDD. These drives come configured with a sleep mode in which the drive spins down following about 15 minutes of non-use. I just finished reading many complaints on the Segate support web site. The sleep issue has been around...

    Increase recording capasity?

    USB Failures on VIP722? Sonic2000 Have you experienced USB failures with the VIP722? Since I first started using the USB port with a 1TB external drive I get USB failures upon trying to copy a second file/show. That is, the first copy to the external works OK, but upon the second try I get...
