    So you assume all zillion people at Dish Network know why the upper level folks decided to do anything....and because they can't answer your question they are dishonest? And a 3 minute program guide update is hurting you? Get a life.

    VIP722 DVR Sound/Volume options

    If your receiver (722) did have its own volume control, you would then need some device to measure the pre amp signal you are messing with at the 722. If it's not high enough you lose frequencies at your amp, laptop, or what ever. If too high you will get distortion. The preamp signal you are...

    301 won't power up

    As was stated before, you might have a short in the cable between the 301 and the dish. If there is one, you should be able to hold the receiver to your ear and hear a buzzing. If you disconect the cable from the dish and the buzz goes away, that is your problem. The receiver is trying to...

    722 Error

    Regardless of any other issues, you should turn your receiver off at night (both green and blue lights ..1&2) Out of the factory your 722 is set to recieve program information every morning at 3 a.m.. Your receiver needs this info to know what it is receiving. I have been installing dish for...

    Holland Diplexer used in place of DPP Separator.

    Why not just go to a dish retailer or ebay or stop an installer and buy a seperator for a couple of bucks?

    VIP612 issues

    I've had my 612 for a month now and have same "jerky" problems while watching my football games I have previously recorded. I hope it is sotware related and will get fixed through download. I have been a dish customer and installer for 6 years and realize it is a complete roll of the dice to...

    Searching for Satilite Problems

    Very possibly a loose fitting or a small piece of shield braid inside the fitting that was shorting it out and causing problem. Maybe when you wiggled it it got better. These kind of problems are impossible to deduce over the phone. Csrs will replace receivers rather that ask you to check the...

    1 Dish 322 Receiver & 3 TVs

    Did your installer use diplexers to combine and then split out the tv2 output from the 322 to the tv2 set? If so just put a splitter after the output from the 2nd diplexer (the one not behind the 322) and run to both tv2s. You should not need to amp it up, the tv2 output is pretty strong on...

    Peachtree TV on Dish Network?

    I have been an Braves fan since the mid 50's (Hank was my man when every other kid loved Mickey) and I have finially given up. It's MLB itself that has screwed this up. I watch on the internet only. I will not endure Joe Morgan or Rick Sutcliff if my Bravos happen to be ESPN Sun. or Wed...

    which receiver? Dual HD DVR..............help guys.

    Be aware that you will only get true Hd on that second tv if it is fed with component or hdmi cable. It is unrealistic for a company (DNW) to expect any installation to work that way and supply the proper cable to run 40 to 100 feet in component (+ 2 audio) or hdmi. Your best bet is to keep...

    I dont understand the check switch test...help please?

    previous post is correct, any bad connection can cause that check switch result, receiver & seperator might be fine. Lnb could be bad also.

    Vip 612 shipped?

    Why do you need a seperator? The seperator is ONLY for combining input 1 & 2 on a dual tuner, so that both can communicate with the dish using the same single cable.

    Installation Question

    Are you west or east of the river? East gets Tulsa locals which are so so in standard but hard to get at all in HD there. They are not on 129 though. The Okc spot beam is strong there but the zip code decides that you get Tulsa. Some folks give a 74601 address but have it installed out East...

    Charlie speaks..... Finally!!!

    Churn Churn happens when customers quit. Customers quit because they don't feel loyal to the company. Most folks don't have HD and don't care how many channels are out there. They just feel crapped on when they spend 30 minutes on the phone with someone who is ignorant of how their system...
