    "Locals only" possible, where no OTA reception?

    You still have to pay receiver fees even if you own them. There are no fees for the first receiver, but there is for additional receivers

    722k OTA (missing sub channels)

    As stated above make sure you delete channels before a rescan. I would delete everything then rescan.

    Time to retire my 722k's

    Thanks that is what I thought. I will hang on to the one receiver that has some events I might want to view again. I have some good live music events I like to enjoy from time to time, especially after a few beers. ;-) I have a 722k I got from a rental property that has been off for years and I...

    Time to retire my 722k's

    If I move recordings from 722k to a external drive will they work with the Wally or is it a different format? If it does work I will transfer the 10-20 events I want to save to a external then pull the drives out of the 722k's put them in docks and see how many more years of service I can get...

    Is there a trick to moving a Joey?

    Hey Hipcat is that one of your installs? LMAO and JK of course.. Sad part is I see that crap all time.. Can't stand people who don't take pride in their work. Even people who don't know sh*t can spot a good install from bad if everything is neat, straight and uniform.

    Time to retire my 722k's

    Thanks for info, did a light search and did not come up with much. A few on ebay. Sucks they will be as much or more then the receivers. I will be saving like 30 bucks a month so it won't take too long to recoup my investment. I am not going anywhere else so as long as they don't fold like orby...

    Long cable run between Dish LNBF and Hopper 3

    I would use rg11 coax or at the least solid copper rg6 to help eliminate possible voltage drop. That being said it may work fine as is because of the switch having a separate power source from the receiver.

    Phoenix NBC, KPNX OTA Guide is in Spanish NOT English???

    Found out the hard way that if you don't delete you don't get a rescan with vip's probably the same with hoppers

    Will dish ever get Bally Sports back ?

    I am old enough to remember watching wings games on channel 50 when I was a kid. Seems like they aired a lot of them if not all. I remember Stevie Y's first season they wers still aired for free.

    HBO is BACK on DISH

    Just my luck I singed up on my phone and the next day I noticed HBO was back on dish.. I guess my bill is going up lol. I assume if you had HBO before they removed it they added it back to your account when it returned? The HD looked really good last night. I am at the lake cabin and only on a...
