    Combine 2 eighteen in dishes?

    Hi, buddy of mine wants to use two 18 inch dishes and somehow combine the signals so he can get multiple satellites (locals, hd, and regulars) at his deercamp when he takes his receiver out there for weekends.

    I just activated my 622...MYSELF!

    Auto switch 1080i to 720P

    I probably wasnt clear or perhaps I just am stupid :) But on my DTV receiver, it passed the signal as either 720P....then my TV switched the input to 720P (it would blink for about 2 secs while it reset the resolution) or it was pass the signal as 1080i with the same reaction, but obviously...

    Auto switch 1080i to 720P

    Hey guys, newbie to dishnetwork AND these forums...please be gentle :) I've been a DTV guy for years and had their HD service. With their service, the receiver would autodetect the HD resolution as either 1080i or 720P, and my tv would sense the change and respond by displaying the correct...
