D* installed this morning after 13+ years with E*. So, we can Watch SNY again.... Tech was great. We went from AEP W/add on HD pack, 2HD DVRs W/EHD enabled and 1 HD receiver to DirecTV premium, 2 HD DVRs, 2 HD receivers, HD add on pack and Whole House DVR. I lose a few HD and Premium...

Wow, Thanks guys for the responses. Really good information. It looks like I am going to make the switch. Harshness, Thanks for that last "Gotcha". I wouldn't have thought of that. Makes sense though given it replaces the internal drive. I have to say, that is one thing I really like...

Contemplating a switch to D* and have some questions about DirecTV DVRs. If you have the Whole House DVR service, can you have more than 1 DVR? If you do, can you view recorded events from any TV in the system? I am considering a setup with 2 HD DVRs and 1 or 2 more HD receivers. Is...

I'm with you here. Been a long standing Dish customer. I love their DVR hardware. I just turned down an offer from TWC that would have saved me a bunch of money over the next two years. I think you are being generous giving them 30 days. I don't think my wife (she and my two kids are the...

I am having a problem with my VIP 722 on playback. It seems to be getting worse. Start to replay a recorded event, It will play a bit then freeze. It might pause then jump ahead a little, in some cases it comes back, plays a bit more then freezes again. I have been noticing lately some...

I might be missing something but some things just don't seem to add up for me. "Regular HD" on the regular HD tab, It shows 55 and 41 on the "Full Page" tab 55 and 42. Looks Like Hallmark Movies is missing on the "Regular HD" tab. If I add Hallmark Movies to the Regular HD tab and count, I...

I spent the last hour or so reading though various threads related to software/firmware versions and bugs but I have not been able to find the answers I was looking for. So, I guess I will just ask What is the current version I should be seeing on on my 722? (I have L625) What is the...

I have audio drop outs from my 722 to my pioneer AVR. It is an older AVR so it does not support HDMI. I am using the digital optical output. It has been much better recently (in the last couple of months) but not completely gone. It seems related to the Dolby Digital signal processing. As...

thanks for the reply. That makes sense why dish would frown. Maybe a better approach would be to get a 1000.4 dish for EA and connect it to the 722. leave the Dish 500 connected to the DP44 and the two older receivers. Of course that dish would cost me about the same as replacing one of the...

I've been lurking around here for a while but this is my first post. Sorry if this is a repeat of past info. I have read through several posts on this issue but I would like to validate that I am thinking correctly. I am one of those with the 61.5/110/119 setups looking to get to Eastern Arc...
