I've got a VIP722 and my software is now L799 (I wasn't paying attention before, so I have no idea if that's new, or if it's even changed). I did notice the same reminder change when I'm switching channels from a program being recorded on an OTA channel, and that's definitely new and different...

I know this thread is a few days old, but I'll share anyway. I've got a VIP722 on the western arc. Around the beginning of this year, I started having a similar problem with low signal strength. I tried adjusting the dish and checking all of the connections, but nothing made it better. I even...

It worked! I disabled record plus and deleted/reset a couple of timers from the tv2 location, and suddenly all of the timers started working again. I can set timers from both locations, and even enable and change around the record plus settings without any problems. I still don't know why it got...

Yes, tuner 2 is working. As long as I'm in single mode it will record both tuners just fine, but there's no video feed sent out from the second tuner. When I switch to dual mode there's a video feed from tuner 2, but all of my timers that are assigned to that tuner are skipped. Timers that are...

Yeah, I do that to. But this isn't about just changing the record plus settings. ALL of my dozens of tv2 timers just started being skipped, and only tv1 timers would show as set to record when in dual mode.

I've tried switching back and forth from single to dual, but when I'm in dual mode it makes all of my tv2 timers show as skipped, and when I try to restore them I get an (incorrect) timer conflict message. Single mode seems to work just fine. I've power cycled the receiver with no change in the...

Thanks, MrDogDad! That's all needed to know...

Good to know! But what about any need to contact DISH?

My sister has a 1000.2 dish pointed at the Western Arc, but our locals in HD for the Paducah, KY market are on the Eastern Arc 61.5* sat. If I were to purchase and install 1000.2 Easter Arc LNBF, would it work just by getting a signal lock, or would I need to contact DISH and let them know that...

NWS radar agrees. Thanks for the info!

Nevermind, it's back now. That was weird.

It's 9:30pm Central time and everything on the 129* just went bye-bye. Is it just me?

Thanks for replying! If repositioning the dish and/or talking them into a Hopper upgrade fails, then that's what I'll suggest.

Thanks for your reply! Yeah, it's the Paducah market. I haven't heard about reflectors warping, so I hadn't even considered that. I plan on trying to reposition the dish tomorrow, but if I can't get a 40+ signal then I'm going tom try my upgrade sales pitch again.

This is for my parents place, and here's what I know of their setup: a single VIP 722 (backfeeding an SD tv in a bedroom) connected to a 1k.2 dish pointed at the 110, 119, and 129 sats; and a 500 dish pointed at the 77 sat for HD locals. I don't know what LNB or switch they have 'cause it's in...
