eBay. Why would you want that? 121 is only used for business purposes now.

Any and every Sony TV is code 500. All other manufacturers could take a lesson from that. :p

I will bet you $2 a Twin won't fit on the 1000.2 W-bracket. I vaguely remember trying something like that before. Time to break out the old-school but equivalent Dish 1000!

Yes, a 1000.2 dish and LNB is the same thing as a DPP33, only with no external switches needed. It has 3 output for up to 6 tuners and you can even add a fourth orbital location if you need in the future! Basically a direct swap of your 500 dish and it just aims a touch to the west of your 500...

Not exactly sure, but I think the 6.2 operates on pro band A. By default, I believe the 21.0 is on pro band B. Open the battery cover and there should be a little switch to put the 21.0 into pro band A mode. Just a shot in the dark from my memory. :)

NO you can NOT. It's it the DPP33 Manual. It is NOT to be used with a Twin Plus.

Easiest setup would be a DP Twin (NOT a Plus!!) or two DP Duals coupled with a DPP33 switch. That will allow you to run six tuners like your setup with no problems.

That's really puzzling. DPP44's come in a package including the switch AND the power inserter. DPP44 switches from Dish NEVER EVER EVER come without a power inserter. What the crap are those techs doing with them? :confused:

It will work... intermittently. I've had to get a system going that way before (4 separate condos on a ski hill) until I could get into the condo where the power inserter had come unplugged. It worked for a while... and then started getting pretty consistent, though seemingly random, signal loss.

Ah. Shows how many dishes I've had to shoot that way since the 1000 came out. :p

D* provides a very cheap HDMI cable with their HD receivers. E* does not, and has not since the rollout of their MPEG4 receivers. Dish will not supply cables to us, their RSP. The company sells HDMI cables to the customer for $55 and $25 for HDMI and component, respectively. I sell my own...

My guess would be this: Because the Eastern Arc satellites (61.5, 72, and 77) are now strictly MPEG4 satellites, you won't pick up anything from those satellites with an MPEG2 receiver like the 501. Try repeaking the 61.5 with your 722?

Your silver, flat-faced HD-DVR 622 looks like your black, curvy-faced SD-DVR 625? :confused:

The cheap way: Put up 20-25 1000.2 dishes and run three DPP44's off each dish. XD The right way: DISH Network - 1.800.454.0843

This. With Dish you need to use a 500+ dish with a 500+ LNB if you want it to work right.
