As Krell and the others have mentioned, it is not exactly as it may seem on the surface. My local network streaming on the highest quality setting is around 8 to 8.3Mbps and my internet upload is only 2Mbps. So, although you must use the dish site, the stream appears to be local. The SA has...

I'm not sure about what is normal regarding the service plan sign up but I have had the service plan since I signed up. I don't normally go for extended warranties or service plans and prefer to own vs. lease, but after my second 722 I decided that the lease and service plan may be worth it...

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

No. I didn't get that far. I was already trying to figure out how I was going to convince my wife that we needed it.

Thanks Krell. That is good advice. Yes....separator. I paused when I typed splitter because I knew it wasn't right, but drew a blank on "separator".

I may go that way as well. That would meet my one-dish quota and I think it might be possible to place it in a less conspicuous location than the current dish is in so I may get permission to do that. So, if I get a 1000.4 dish, that is all I need, no additional switches, just run a single cable...

Thanks Krell. You're a wealth of information. I think I am understanding this stuff fairly clearly, but I'm sure I am missing a lot too. Probably know enough to be dangerous...... Thanks again!

Hello, I just recently realized that my locals are now available in HD. However, I can't receive them because they are on 61.5 and I am pointed at 110, 119, and 129. I chatted with dish and they said I need another dish. I think I currently have a 1000.2 but I'm not sure. There is no...

Thanks for the replys guys. If I am understanding properly, it might be possible to obtain acceptable results because it is possible to change some of the settings to optimize results. However, I should be looking at the HD box to get the most out of the upload speed at the source and this...

I am considering the option of using a slingbox to remotely access my VIP 722. My situation is: cabin in a remote area that has cable internet 1.5M/.5M the cable co. doesn't offer much of a channel selection. The cabin is in a condo association, and I don't really want to go through the...

Interesting. I just tried to get the offer and was told it was only available with the commitment. May have to try again with a different CSR?

I am very new to Dish network (about 2 months) and have a 722 that is having some reboot issues. Tech support said it is a known software problem (L448). My serial number is not in the range of the update that was recently spooled, and as of this morning was still running L448. I am curious...

I have had a 722 for about 2 months and I am not an expert. However, you are correct. The home distribution output basically transmits a modulated signal that you connect to TV2 (you can use existing in home wiring if it is there). The setup allows you to select a channel; that is why the...

I have had reboot problems with a 722 since it was installed in December. It seems somewhat random though perhaps more frequenly when the DVR is in use (either playing or recording) but I am not certain. I have several programs or movies that have been recorded in 2 or more parts because...

I have been a subscriber for just 8 days. I just got off the chat with a CSR and he indicated that the offer was only applicable to subscribers of 6 months or more, and that the offer is available until 01/31/08.
