    Coming To DISH: Starz Comedy

    Hey everyone, I'm not sure that this has been mentioned yet, as I did a quick search on here to see if it has and to the best of my knowledge it hasn't. Anyway, I received this months bill from DISH and it says that starting May 31, 2006 Starz Comedy is coming to DISH and that it is replacing...

    need compatible wireless phone jack

    I have 5 receivers in my household and so not all the rooms that they are in have phone jacks and if there are jacks they are not in a convenient place. I decided to go ahead and buy one 'Phonex" to see if it worked. It worked great without any problems, including the caller ID feature...

    DPP44 using just legacy rcvrs?

    I just went through this with my own setup last week. I can verify for you that the legacy receivers WILL NOT work by themselves on a DPP44 switch. You must have at least one DP receiver for this to work. I tried using 4 legacy receivers on a DPP44 switch and the power inserter on switch...

    Hey everyone, I had reported on Saturday the above problem. However, yesterday I lost power for about three hours. I decided I would try and see if I was still having problem with changing the aspect ratios on SD and HD programs. Lo and behold, I couldn't get it to act up. Which leads me to...

    Dish 942 L280 Software Bug Reports

    942 Locks-up and Reboots! Since I have received the new update, my 942 locks-up and then reboots on it's own, whenever I change the aspect ratio while watching a show that has been recorded. Ex. If I want to watch a recorded SD show, and I have the aspect ratio previously set for 1080i and...

    Anyone Had Success At Cascading a DPP44 with a DP34?

    Does anyone know what the output voltage of the DishPro legacy adapter is? I want to plug it in to the wall without the LNB's attached and just a legacy receiver attached. I want to verify that the adapter is good. I bought it used!!!!

    Anyone Had Success At Cascading a DPP44 with a DP34?

    Thanks everyone for all your assistance in this problem. Is the DPP44 that picky as to which kind of legacy receiver is connected to which port????

    Anyone Had Success At Cascading a DPP44 with a DP34?

    I realize that the 7200's and 2800 are not Dishpro compatible, but I am using a Dishpro legacy adapter that is supposed to correct this problem with using a DP34 and a legacy adapter...correct????? This is what has me stumped!

    7200 and DPP44?

    First off, even though the installation manual for the DPP44 says that "any DBS satellite" on ports 1, 2, or 3 will work, does not hold true when you are using a DPP Twin LNBF and a DPP44 switch. According to the installation guide for the DPP Twin LNBF: "The DISH Pro PLus Twin LNBF can be...

    7200 and DPP44?

    Hey everyone, I am trying to set-up a 7200 with a DPP44 switch. I have two other receivers (942, 811) and the switch works fine for them, but when I try to get the 7200 to see the switch, I get "no switch box detected". I have three orbital slots that are hooked up to the DPP44. Port 1: 119...
