    Getting EA with existing dishes

    I do have 722k and I have turned snobby and really only watch HD. But I do need 61.5 because my locals are there. I am in Burlington, VT and I last I checked EA was not officialy available. Has this changed?

    Getting EA with existing dishes

    I currently have 1 dish 500 with a DPP head pointed to 119/110, and another dish 500 with a single DP head pointed at 61.5 with the lnb out going into the DPP LNB in. I would like to get 72/77/61.5 to get the new HD. Can I achieve this by pointing (somehow) the dish that is currently 119/110...

    Anyone have luck with HDMI Control

    Figured as much but it seems to be interfering with the rest of the HDMI control on the rest of the system thus making it unusable. Too bad, it was a nice feature as the receiver auto switched to the correct input. Suppose I could always connect it via component.

    Anyone have luck with HDMI Control

    I have a new flat panel and receiver which support HDMI control. Does the 722K support this feature at all? I like this feature because when I turn on a component (a PS3 for example) the TV turns on, the receiver switches to the correct input and when I turn off the TV, all the components shut...

    Groups keep disappearing on 722K

    I have a 722K and I have set up a bunch of groups and timers to record into these groups (Kids, TV, Movies...etc). Almost once day I turn on my DVR and the groups are gone until I go in and ask the DVR to sort by groups and then everything is ok. I don't have to recreate the groups, just till it...

    Question on how timers work:

    I am new to Dish DVRs. I have a 722k and I set up a timer to tape all new episodes of Dexter. When I went to look at my recordings I noticed it was not there. I realized that I did not set up the timer on the main Showtime channel but one of the alternate ones. My question is do timers work...

    VIP 722: Swithching from dual to single mode without front panel mode button

    That is what I was afraid off. Is there an easy way to open up the front panel? All my buttons are pushed in and to the left and are stuck inside the housing. I think I could fix it if I knew how to remove the front panel. Thanks.

    VIP 722: Swithching from dual to single mode without front panel mode button

    The front panel of my 722 went wonky and the buttons are unresponsive. Is there a way with the remote or inside one of the setup menus to switch the receiver mode? I am in dual mode and would like to go to single mode. I have search every possible menu I can think of and can't find the option...
