dish installer installed the dish and is coming back to do the joey. I see now what the "node" is...thats in the basement on my electrical panel. So now it makes sense. My coax is run to the new room from that panel, so he will just hook that up to get the joey working I guess

would a wireless joey potentially be better than coax? I have coax run to the room, but its run from the basement, I just wasnt sure if it somehow needed to be run from the hopper. If the signal comes in from the dish, splits in the basement to the hopper and the joey, and then wireless or...

can someone explain to me how the joey works from a home wiring standpoint? Online and on phone technicians have been less than enlightening. I have just ordered my first joey which I will add to my hopper (I believe its the original hopper) and I dont know if they expect the room will have...

man thats so weak. im really sick of these 622s dying on me. Went through 3 when i first got it before I got one that worked....which lasted all of 6 months or so

So my 622 just crapped out. Turned off the other night while i was watching a show, then the fan came on really loud for like 5 minutes, then it went silent for 5 minutes (lights off) and then 5 minutes later (all estimates) it came back on and acquired signal and worked for about 10 minutes...

receiver just rebooted itself....i assume. may have turned itself off (hasnt come back just yet) what a POS. only problems i ever had with my 502 for 4 years were with software bugs.

so my first 622 was dead after 24 hours, just shipped it back today. It wouldnt even turn on. Now my replacement unit has gone black a few times. I dont know if it is based on what i am watching at the time but it has always happened while watching NESN HD. Usually it is for a half second or...

awesome i get it now thanks for the explanations :)

So tonight I was taping one show in SD on tuner 2, and watching NESN HD on tuner 1 when a timer kicked off to tape "the office" which is on NBC and thusly not available in HD (weaaak). What I was confused about was that it interrupted my HD NESN programming to tape "theoffice" in SD on tuner 1...

got my new HD DVR the other day learning my way around it a little but I have a quick question I have the main composite output (no HDMI) to my main (HD)TV. The second output (RCAs) goes to a wireless video transmitter I have that sends signal to a few receivers I have around the house...

yea...guess i should change the name of this thread as it sounds like normal dish network asshattery and nothing specifically related to DST

nice. i wonder if my directv dvr will do the same when i finally jump ship

am i the only person whose DVR stopped recording shows it is scheduled to record since DST (or maybe it happened just coincidentally on that day) all my timers are still there, but its not taping anything unless i add a new one? wtf? I held the power button so it would reset and it...

yea. that wouldnt really work in my condo complex. I did a lot of looking around online and people had a lot of great things to say about the DB2 from antennadirect so I went ahead and got one. I dont get it, doesnt seem much less directional than my old terk and I still dont get FOX - how...
