Is it possible to use the ViP722 with OTA connection only? I just want to take the receiver and HDMI monitor (i don't have an hdtv) to the attic and see if I can get good reception through the OTA up there. When I plug in the ViP722 with nothing else connected except the OTA antenna, I can't...

Great!... if mpeg4 programs take up much less than mpeg2 feeds, then I didn't have a problem to begin with. Go mpeg-4!!!!. Now I am worry-free that I'll have plenty of space in the hard drive!!! thank you all for enlightening me on a lot of things through this thread! :up thanks!

lakebum431, i tried recording from a SD channel that doesn't have a HD counterpart and the problem is the same (HD format). Same with the other scenarios. i think rrmills and whatchel1 is probably right... everything is probably being recorded in MPEG-4 format because i am on the eastern...

Thanks, but I am still having the same problem. 1) I am not using DishPass 2) I am on the eastern arc 3) My guide is on ALL SUB and I do see both SD and HD channels, and I pick the SD channel How do I change the default resolution from HD to SD? I couldn't find it anywhere in the options.

I don't even know what DishPass does. I haven't changed anything. In fact, I set everything to factory defaults and the same problem keeps happening. So, I think I am using plain vanilla timers. Is there a way to tell? I usually just use the program guide, click the program i want, then...

ok.. i appologize for the saying i want to pull stuff off of the hard drive. The real intention is to save space on the DVR hard drive by only recording SD feeds. You suggest that I record from the SD channels. But, even when I record from the SD channels, it still records in HD. Is there a...

Is it possible to record shows in Standard Definition (SD) only instead of High Definition (HD) in ViP722? Using PVRExplorer doesn't work if the content is HD. But, when I record anything, it always records in HD even if I record from TV2 (standard definition TV) or from choosing the channel...

Ok.. i see i can't just plug the coax cable from comcast into the OTA. thanks for pointing me to the thread.

good stuff. thanks for the link as well. i like the sling box idea, but i always thought that sling box would have to go over the Internet. is it not the case? i would rather not send the signal from VIP722 over the Internet and then bring it back to the computer which is stilling two feet...

This has been discussed many times. I just need a clarification. If I have digital cable from comcast, can I connect it to the Over the Air Antenna (OTA) port on VIP722? The answer I have seen so far is 'No, because VIP722 can only accept digital signals. Isn't most, if not all, cable...

thank you. since tuner is inside vip722, i would assume i don't need another tuner (TV tuner). are capture cards and tv tuner cards different? if so, can you point me to one just to see what capture cards look like?

Hi, I got Dish Network installed for the first time in my house this week. I like to watch the programs on my computer. What do I need to watch Dish Network program on my computer? Here is why I am asking: I have one monitor with three inputs (VGA, DVI, and HDMI 1080p) and one standard...
