Hello all. I am currently a DISH customer (and ex-installer) and am pondering switching to directv for the main reason of price. I've been a customer with dish for 6+ years, when I became an installer for them. OPTIMALLY I would like to upgrade to a hopper for free ( or at least the price a...

ummm, Has it been working for the last two years?? THen there is the answer

I have a live cable feed into my house. no filters or anything. I was wondering what would happen if i plugged it into my 722 and did a channel scan like you would with an OTA. would i get the channels in my guide like ota?? Also in the menu 6>8 screen you can select the analog type, (ota...

Is the 722 in an enclosed space.? mine got real hot and the sound was cracley and video began to pixelate. i cut the back out of my entertainment ctr. and haven't had the problem since. or is it sitting on your a/v receiver??

I was watching the new CSI on cbs tonight. (from DVR about 45minutes later) and the first segment or so had no dialogue audio but very loud backround noise and music. Now its not HD anymore but i am getting full audio. Has anyone else experienced this problem?? Im getting my HD feed from my...

yeah i guess csr is getting trained on only 211k, 222k, 612, 722k. and if you have ViP receivers on an EA install.... no enabling fee. kinda cool. and there was a batch of 322's that we got in our warehouse that is compatable with EA. well at lest there was the circled "a" on the 'product...

i'm a dish tech, but my next door neighbor is a directv customer. he recently re-did his roof and i offered to re-install his dish, (how nice!). i'm just not too sure how to aim it. He has the slimline dish for his HD. i have a super buddy and theres 3 or 4 different options for the...

on SVT, you get the 4 dots: Upstream Transmit Power Downstream Channel Power Downstream Signal-to-Noise & Upstream Signal-to-Noise. I know that if they're green, you're good, and if it's red, its over. but my question, what is the optimal numbers that you're looking for in...

ok, heres the story. all of my HD channels are red. as soon as i realized that they weren't there, i did what i could think of: check switch then EPG download. no go. FPR. No go. i have excellent 129 signal, and there is nothing wrong in system info one. i also called a csr (i'm...

hey, im a tech and i install Wild blue. i have a problem here with a customers computer. it keeps on creating new networks and when in does that it breaks the connection with the internet. when i arrive here, in the network status and tasks, there were 2 network connections there (1 private...

Now, i live in southern MN, right near the grey area btw MN & the MN, MIL border. Will MIL. games automatically show up on a different rsn (FSN Wisconsin i believe) or do i need to inform the csr that i'm in that area? this whole multi-rsn areas are kind of confusing me. Or, do i need to...

at my house i have a dish 500 with a DP+ Twin, and a wing dish (using a 500 w/ no skew, i guess it could be called a 300) pointed a 129. my question is, what if i used a 1000.2 with no skew, pointed directly a 129 with a dp dual and that stupid 'w' bracket. theoretically, should i get...

birdog huh, fancy. mines just an analog meter and it works for me. ive tried a satbuddy, a super sat buddy and a birddog. same results. well on dish receivers, we need to run a test to make sure everything is pointed correctly. but if you say that it should test itself, then i'm set...

so... when i'm sweeping west to south, the first bird i should hit is 119. peak that and go see if i have good signal. they have these little dinky friggen receivers, how can i check the switch?? sorry, but im a directv virgin. i can do a helluva job with a e* dish, but when it comes...

the zip code is 55021. i just pulled it off the mast and set it on the ground. the settings are fine i believe. but what port do i use and what am i hitting when i aim?? and on there is it 110/119 & 101??? and if thats the case do d* and e* use the same birds?? well really the guy moving...
