Thanks all! Do these new units require additional wiring or do they use the existing cable single cable to each unit that exists now?

Hi all, I am considering upgrading from one 722, two 612's and an SD box to the new Hopper/Joey setup. I am looking at two Hoppers and two Joeys to replace the above units. Any thoughts? I am just concerned I am missing something important and my wife will wonder what the heck I was thinking...

Was talking with a dish agent (online chat) and asked whether the Hopper/Joey units had a 30 second skip. He said they had "a" skip but didn't know how long the skip was. Does anyone know?

Am I the only one that watches most shows in chronological order? The biggest pain with Dish DVR's for me is that we can't sort in reverse chronolocal order, with the oldest shows at the top of the list. Hitting the "9" button brings me to the bottom but having it sort automagically would be nicer.

As an aside, thanks to DirectDishNet for setting me up with an external antenna. Now I don't have to live with Dish Networks timetable (or, come to think of it, pay their local fee!) I'm just glad he didn't fall off my roof! :)

Cool. I will PM you about an install.

So, can these outdoor antennas be mounted to the dish or do they need a separate location? Can they be diplexed into the sat signal?

Thanks. Good info there.

I think it's a 500. It gets 110, 119, and 129. I was never sure how that "move" worked and what the address requirements and/or verifications were. Although we're due to get our local HD's in a couple weeks (soon?), I'm open to all alternatives. ;)

ENVY :D

No... Both of the programs I want to record are HD locals available via OTA antenna only. My MSA does not have Local HD via satellite yet so I must use the antenna tuner. Since the 722 can only record 1 HD OTA signal at a time, I must choose which program to record in SD via the satellite. Once...

lol. Found the problem. I had set as timer for V to record on 8.01 with priority 6 <-- shows as recording I had a timer for SYT to record on 18.01 with priority 7 <-- shows as not recording Then I set a third timer to record SYT on 7603 and no matter what priority I gave it, it would not...

Thanks. I tried that (7603) and it just remapped to the re-list at 18.00 in the schedule. I seem to recall a setting to set preference of HD over SD but I can't find it anymore on my 722. :confused: I think it was in the timer "Option" in the past.

I am trying to get my 722 to record the local FOX channel using the SD satellite feed rather than my HD Antennae feed. The option to choose SD, SD/HD, or HD only seems to have vanished as I have searched the menu and timer settings to no avail. Has the option to choose SD/HD disappeared or more...

In general, are the eastern arc signals as strong as the western ones for us in the QCA?
