    922 pros and cons

    I would like to get additional clarification on this. Despite the 722K manual stating that TV2 can operate using IR and/or UHF, it ONLY operates in UHF mode. IR is not available for TV2 (grayed out on receiver). Does the 922 have the same issues? I would like to use IR for ALL of my...

    vip722, TV2 (IR control?)

    TV2 Needs IR Capability!! Most people have one TV connected to TV2, (or TV1 for that matter), But I have a whole house Cable headend for multiple channels: Ch54=DVD, Ch56=HTPC, Ch58=Dish Sat1, Ch60=Dish Sat2, Ch64=MediaPlayer, Ch68=BUD, Ch73=Dish Sat3(TV2), Ch75=Dish Sat4, Ch77=Camera1...

    vip722, TV2 (IR control?)

    Thanks for pointing out this gem, however, it does not solve the problem. I already have Whole-House IR transmission (IR from anyroom to Home Theater). I need the 722k to accept the IR signal on the TV2 receiver (Line of sight is fine). I also need the ability to put a Dish remote into IR mode...

    vip722, TV2 (IR control?)

    Any TV IR The problem with this device is that I would need one on EVERY distant TV in the house. I also would need to 'learn' the proper IR codes on my Universal MX remotes, but the Dish Remote is not sending an IR signal, so where does the MX get the 'learned' code? (I guess I could put...

    Ditto. I contacted a CSR, also sent a note to Tech Forum (email and online) to see when they were going to 'Fix' this issue. No reply yet. TV2 is useless without a DISH UHF 'ONLY' remote. Third party IR remotes should be allowed to work, but are currently not suppoted.

    510 freezes

    Problem Resolved Since about midday 10/12, the freeze/jump problem has ceased. I guess once they confirmed the software bug, they were able to remove it. I don't think it was in the DVR, but on the uplink encoding (since my 501's and 510's resolved the problem at the same time, without a...

    Dish engineers looking into Problem I called dish yesterday about the Freeze/Jump problem, to which the CSR said they were not aware of the problem. Today I got a call from a Dish Engineer looking into the problem. Asked for more specifics and thanked me for taking the time to report the...

    510 freezes

    My 501's and 510 just started to experience this "FREEZE/JUMP" problem on 10/05/05. I was hoping it wa a "temporary" problem, but here it is 5 days later and getting worse. I thought it was the dishes, so I bypassed the SW64 switch, still a problem. Performed the power-hold reset, same...
