Thanks guys

Does it pass the signal through to both TV1 and TV2? Thanks, John

I have a few questions about "Over The Air" broadcasts and dish receivers. A 622 receiver will record OTA broadcasts. Will a 625? Can you record from cable TV instead of using an antenna? Thanks, John

I have a 501, 721, and a brand new 622. The problem is that there is only one coax cable going to the 622 location and no easy way to add another. Thanks, John

I have a Dish 500 with Dish Pro Quad LNBs. I would like to use a single coax cable for both tuners. Are there any other alternatives to using a DPP 44 switch or upgrading to a Dish 1000? Thanks, John

I am not a big fan of going out on the roof to change the dish, so I guess I would need to find a local installer. Since I can not run a 2nd cable to the 625 location, it sounds like I can get the 1000.2 or the DPP44. What are the advantages to getting the 1000.2? HD? Thanks, John

Sorry to sound dumb, but what is a Dish 1000.2? Thanks, John

Hi, I am in Central NJ. I have a Dish 500 dish with Quad DishPro LNBs. (4 cables from the satellite disk.) I current have a 721, 508 and 501. I am thinking of replacing the 501 with a 625 and would like to be able to use both tuners. What is the best upgrade configuration? Thanks, John

I do not have a lot of faith in the answers I get from Dish these days. I called about a problem with my 721 program guide dropping to 2-3 days. They said I needed to have the LNBs replaced and sent a tech out here to do that. When that didn't work, they tried to talk me into an "upgrade" to a...

Location is Central NJ. I currently have 3 receivers: 721, 508 and 501. I switchcheck says I can see 110 and 119. I guess I need the 129 for the HD. So unless I have the PLUS, I would not be be able to support the single cable to 2 tuners. Correct? Thanks, John

It is a Dish 500 dish with Dish Pro LNB. I ran a checkswitch on of the 508 models. It says a DP-Quad-4. Does this mean that I can support the both tuners on the 622 with a single cable? Thanks, John

Hi, I am thinking about upgrading my 721 to a 622 and I have a few questions. 1. Will the unit function with only one Satellite cable? (I know that I will be able to use only 1 tuner that way.) 2. Does it always record in HD? Or can I select that I want this HD program recorded in SD...
