yeah, I roughly aligned it based on where I thought it should point, then tuned it in with my meter. I assume the LNB's are in order, 61.5, 72, 77?

Had work done on my roof and temporarily removed the dish. Now I'm not pulling in the 77 bird and it appears the other two are not coming in as well as they had before. Something tells me maybe I've got the 61.5 and the 72 bird coming in on the wrong LNB's. Is this possible and maybe I need to...

I currently have 2 612's and one 622 and am thinking of gettign a 211 for my kitchen. Will I need another dish to do this? I currently have the eastern arc dish. Also, is this something I can do on my own in order to save installation fees?

Windoes recognized it, but it didn't show up in file explorer, so I went through the process of initializing the drive and giving it a drive letter. Now going to format it and see if that works. Thanks for the help. Hopefully it is recognized after this by the notebook it is going in. No luck...

Used a portable hard drive to transfer programming to a replacement receiver. Now Id like to use that hard drive again in my pc, but Windows doesn't seem able to format it. Is there a tool or software to do this? Thanks in advance.

ok, component (rca type RGB) HD. I understand it's probably hard to understand as this is a complex situation, but I had it working just fine with my 612. I guess Dish thougth they were doing me a favor by switching out a 612 with a 622. Here's my situation: 622 is located in the basement...

how do I do that? I've gone through the receivers menu's but can't seem to find out how you can change the remote uhf addresses.

yes. I have 3 remotes. A Harmony 880 (non uhf), the remote that came with my original 612 and I bought a universal 21.0 remote on ebay that is also uhf.

Opps, wondering how to access the menu to set the remotes as IFR and VHF

Here's my situation I have two HD tv's in different rooms (upstairs and downstairs where the receiver is located). I also have a slingbox downstairs. I would like to have HD in both rooms (which I can do with HDMI and Composite HD), and standard def on the slingbox. If possible, I would also...

Don't know what happened to my last post, but anyway, trying to determine if it's possible to set up the remote such that the UHF can control the HD output. It seems as though it only works with IFR. :(

Is there any way to set up the 622 remote controls in a way where the UHF works on the HD output?

Well I have 2 612's and only issues are hard drive related. Lost all my recordings on one and the other's hard drive crapped out last week. Replacement receiver with same problem, tech was supposed to be here this morning, but got delayed to this afternoon. I asked him to bring more than one...

Does training for Dish Network tech support iunclude riding unicycles and juggling balls??? 3 problems in 2 days and still no resolution. Firsst problem started a week ago with one of my 612's. The hard drive faiuled. Dish sent me a replacement receiver which surprisingly was in used...

I got it to work (elevation will only work in camera mode). This is a great app. I highly recommend it, especially considering the price.
