I know this is an older thread, BUT Bell is now sending out 6500 receivers to replace the SD receivers as they will be shutting down all the SD channels sometime around April or so. I suspect they will shut down due to sell the space on the older SD bird.

Actually, it is because Dish (they love to charge you!) charges you for owning a receiver. So whether you own it or lease it Dish charges you $7 or !0 or whatever as a "fee". The state then charges tax on the FEE. If Dish wasn't gouging the owners of equipment with their "receiver" fees you...

I just switched our VOIP provider to Ooma and have one issue with our Dish setup. We have a couple of receivers that are connected to the phone line that used to call out to Dish (no network in these rooms) and they are not dialing out successfully since the switch over. I need to set the...

Untrue, as they are still making many of the "no longer made" receivers for Bell Canada....

That was my first troubleshooting idea, and no luck. tried even & odd with no change. It appears to be the receiver and the Dual Mode that is causing the lockup, crash and going back to Single Mode. I tried changing the diplexer, cables and moved the 722 to one of the 211 spots...

Looks like my two month old 722 will be on the phone with Dish tonight. SIGH

Hopefully this is not a bad 722, but last night I went to watch SciFi on TV2 and nada. Had to go to the theatre room, and unplug the 722, wait till it went through it's checks and finally came back. Then turned to 135 and THEN the dual mode lit up and was able to watch TV2 again and control...

In single mode TV2 gets just the same program as is on TV1.

I have the 1000.2 up and it's solid. I have a seperator on the 722.

I have a 722 that I got in May of this year to replace one of my 211s. Finally got around to configuring the Home Distribution (TV2) to my second floor (722 in basement). A lot of problems with getting the UHF remote working, it's 25 feet hotizontal/22 feet vertical or 35 feet diaganol...

Thanks Scott. I figured they hadn't backed off that policy, but you can always dream. lol

Some of us do not like leases and prefer to own our "stuff", whether it is a car, house, computer or a Dish receiver. We actually pay something called cash...lol, no credit, loans, etc.

I haven't been paying much attention to the Hopper/Joey threads, BUT... I have four ViP211s currently (owned) on a DPP44 from a 1000.2 western arc. I would like to have one TV with a dual tuner option, so it is either a 722 or a Hopper. Has Dish relented yet allowing you to install a...

Thanks for the info.

One quick question... What does the aspect ration and image look like on the HD TVs running off the home Distribution coax? Do you get 16 x 9 or does it show as 4 x 3 with black/grey bars?? Has anyone ever managed to find and tech docs on Home Distribution and if so where can I see them...
