    What can you do with a 721?

    Any ideas on what you can do with your 721 (aside from a paperweight) after they shut off service to it in November?

    721 - Timer not working right

    I'm a fairly new 721 owner and my timer is not recording what I've set up. It worked great when I first got it, but last week it started acting up. When I select a program to record though the guide, it'll record the right channel but an hour later than what was set up. The channels in the...

    Use a DP34 for one orbital location?

    Yeah I probably could, but I know someone who's willing to mail me a DP34. I just don't want to hassel him if I know it won't work.

    Use a DP34 for one orbital location?

    Upgraded receiver and lost signal strengt

    Yep, have DP pro and only receive the 119 signal. I did run a splitter rated from 5MHz to 2.3GHz, but my signal strenght suffered. I'm going to have to do something, since the wife now wants that old receiver to go in the bedroom and I can only run two lines in from the dish. -TT

    Upgraded receiver and lost signal strengt

    I just upgraded my dish receiver from a 501 to a 721PVR. This new receiver requires 2 satellite inputs, so I put a splitter on the incoming line near the receiver. By putting the splitter on, I went from about 80 points on a single line, down to 50 on tuner 1, and 38 on tuner 2. A simple...
