    New to dish network and about to subscribe

    a single Dish network box can feed both TV's HD signals. They will be mirrored images so what ever is on TV 1 will be on TV 2. Most Techs will not connect this up for you this way.

    Can I run cable Internet over same satellite wire

    I have done this, it will work just fine for a limited amount of time, then it seems to "burn out" the diplexers. I would start to see it first on the Sat side with short drops of signal, then the internet speeds started to slow. With in 4 months I ran a second line to the room. Now with Sat and...

    DVR Options

    Dish does not offer a watch anywhere in the house DVR, The 612 can be seen only on connected tv. The 722 is the same. I am unsure if an EHD would allow for the "transport" of recordings from one 612 to a 722, Someone I am sure will fill in that part.

    Broadband, advantage

    it also allows E* to sell "general" viewing information to google to help them stay out of the red, while they increase the package pricing and equipment charges to the customers, it will also send signal strength reading from the dish to DN so they can monitor if any problems may be going on.

    1k4 with a 1k2 ??

    Thought I had read I could use a 1k4 dish with port 2 of a 1k2 hooked to the input port of the 1k4 to get the 61.5/72/77/110 sats, but when I run my check switch it fails to show the 110 on one Rx it shows a 1k2 for port 4 but only says conn, on the other two rx's it just shows port 4 as nc...

    Dish equipment charge

    they charge the same if you own or lease the equipment so it will not change the billing at all

    Can "Thanks for being an E* subscriber" charge be avoided?

    why not set up a service call for an uninstall, only 15 dollars if you have the Service Plan

    Explanation of System Info (Menu-->6-->1-->6)

    The system info "software" does not have the 1K4, it is unaware the eastern arc is there, that is why it still thinks you have the 1k2.

    vip 222k tv1 coax output does not work

    First make sure that TV1 is set to be modulated out, (menu-6-1-5), if it is already, try another channel #, then auto scan on the tv you are trying to connect. You should get TV1 and TV2 in both locations. Choose the channel for the TV tuner you wish to view and enjoy. That is if every thing is...
