    Over the air module / antenna - locals

    Thank you SaltiDawg, Since it sounds like I can get the OTA locals on the guide, now I have to find a way to get a 722k from DishNetwork on a "lease". I can't get LOS to a satellite that has my locals, so I need to get them OTA. I currently have a 625 and there is no economical way to get to...

    Over the air module / antenna - locals

    SaltiDawg, You indicated "also any other OTA channels that your receiver can receive" When I spoke to a "second level technical support" person I was told that the OTA subchannels would not appear in the guide since Dish locals do not include any subchannels. In my situation, local stations...

    Splitting TV1 on a VIP722k?

    How did you get a 722k? Off topic, but can you tell me how you got a 722k? I have been a Dish Network customer for over 13 years, recently called to upgrade to a 722k and was told that noone at Dish can commit to delivery of a specific machine. The reason I want a 722k is to add the 2 tuner...

    Upgrade to HD but not using one of the satellites

    To All: My main objective is to get OTA channels on the Dish channel guide and be able to record them. I appreciate all the suggestions about actually getting LOS and reception of the HD and local channels, but because I have had a Dish Installer on site that tried to find a LOS, I don't think...

    Upgrade to HD but not using one of the satellites

    Repeat - there is no line of sight to 129W No matter where on my property or my neighbors or my rooftop the installer tried, there is no line of sight to the 129W satellite. No breaks between trees. There is just no place to move the dish to get a LOS. It is very low - about 22 degrees - and...

    Upgrade to HD but not using one of the satellites

    I am considering upgrading to a 722k with the MT2 OTA module as a way to get local over the air channels on the guide and recorded AND for the storage capacity. I have no line of site to the satellite (129W) that has my Dish local channels and many of the HD channels. When I upgrade, I assume...

    Sat direction for Local Channels and HD

    I am trying to determine if there are different satellites for Local channels and HD in my area (Erie PA). I currently have a 301 and 625, Sat 110 and 119, Dish Top 200. The outside dish is pointed to the South West. A few years back I signed up for local channels when they became available in...

    Can I eliminate the video on DVR events screen

    Thanks, DishSubLA, but as you stated, the swap only works BEFORE getting to the DVR events screen. We're never watching live TV. After watching a recorded event and erase it, the DVR events screen and the audio/video appear. Is there a way to make suggestions to DISH about better ways of...

    Can I eliminate the video on DVR events screen

    On the 625, the DVR Events screen has a window with audio/video of a currently recording event. Is there any way to eliminate this feature? Inevitably, the show that is recording is at a point that gives away the outcome of a competition or drama which ruins the suspense. It also takes up a lot...

    Remote Replacement Help Guide

    1.) I got a 625 (operating in single mode) to replace a 508. I have 4 Dish Platinum remotes that work UHF with the 508. They all work IR with the 625. Is there any way to make them work UHF with the 625? 2.) Is there any way to get the "green" remote "1" (5.0) to work UHF with the single mode 625?
