    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    Think I resolved this Here's the game plan: I had 3 cables when I moved in, so: - Gonna snake 3xx feed back up and over to bedroom 3 and put 3xx receiver in there - Go thru a/c duct with alternate feed from 622 to 2nd BR - viola! Monsters Hd in kid' s room Got ma fangers X'd

    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    I agree, but I just want the easiest way to get the 2nd TV signal from my 622 to the TV the 3xx is powering now. It's been over 100 here in Abilene, so attic crawling is at the bottom of my list! :p I can even turn the 3xx box back into Dish - I never really use it's secondary feed in the...

    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    The ViP622 is in the living room - only feeds that TV. The other receiver is a Dish 322. It's located in a guest room, and also feeds the master bedroom. What I wanted done was to have the ViP622 in the living room feed its 2nd output to that guest room, and have the 322 only feed the...

    TV output from 3xx box to ViP622?

    My installer hooked up my 622 in living room to HDTV. However, I need the 2nd feed going to daughters room, so she can watch down-converted Monsters HD! He set it up with HER receiver being the primary 1st TV, and other bedroom 2nd off of it. How difficult would it be for me to switch...

    How has your 622 performed for you?

    Random turn on and channel change Those are my two problems. I've had to reboot it only twice in 2 weeks, so, for new stuff, I ain't complaining too much. Anybody else having these problems? I even stuck the attenae attenuator on the wire thinking it might be a neighbor's remote...

    Best Dish HD w/ DVR deal now?

    Hello, Folks! I'm not too lazy to search around for this info, but I just moved and am stuck in a hotel w/ crappy dialup connection. (Guess I should change my name now that I exscaped to TX!) I was a charter Voom member, but was on Charter cable (retch) up to when I move, while waiting...

    DISH to carry all 21 in 2006

    Sean, I'm confused by all the sat location #s I'm seeing and Voom 'great deals!' stuff! If my locals (Albuquerque/Santa Fe) are on 110, can I can go with the Dish deal and not pay an extra $100 for a 2nd dish to get the Voom offer? Not even sure what loc Voom/Dish are at... IF I...

    Here's a good one...

    God forbid you try to quit Voom... :mad: I just called Voom to try switching to the rental program from charter membership. Rep put me on hold, and then he told me they can't do it because it 'screws up their system'. I told him fine then, go ahead and cancel my service - I want my...

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    Damn... Damn, I just wanted to know if the pricing was close on the 3 services for HBO/Showtime/DHD...LOL Anyone have any luck with a PC DVR setup using Voom? Couldn't that be a low-cost option?

    Hey, 4 days left on MBG. A mass exodus of 'Charters' would hit their bottom line, no? Screw me once, shame on me. Screw me twice...

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    That's exactly the kind of info I was asking for, DD. Thanks. I intend to take them up on the MBG and go with the rental plan - that way it sits easier on my mind. $1200 is a lot of $$ for something that I can rent for $10/month.

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    I don't disagree with you that Voom has MORE stuff, I just don't personally find most of it that interesting - same would go for 199 channels of digital cable. I can only watch so much TV in a day... I just wanted to get opinions from some people who've had the D* services since I never...

    Voom, Direct*, Dis* Comparison

    I've never had the D*s. CAn someone convinve em that I should be payin gthis much to get 1950s movie that are reformatted to widescreen? I mean, really, if it wasn't filmed in HD - what's the point? Don't the D*s have the same HD channels aside from the Voom Cinema 10 stuff? I only watch...
