    TV2 Remote Antenna Boost on 922

    The push on works, I've used that exact setup for a customer on a 922 that had concrete walls and the tv2 remote wouldn't work at all. The f fittings are the same size, just different threads. The other thing you could do if you really wanted to use use 922/hopper antenna (which isn't...

    TV2 Remote Antenna Boost on 922

    I'm confused why you would need to do this on a hopper. The antenna only serves the hopper, as each Joey has their antenna built in, and the hopper can't be that far from your viewing position can it? But, one way I have found to extend it is to buy a push on connector from Radio Shack and...

    Dish 922 Sling Issues

    I appreciate the help, but I've seen 20+ 922's in the field doing the same audio glitch, swapping it out for a different one will do nothing.

    Dish 922 Sling Issues

    That's on the tv, it's done it ever since day one. It does a weird pop, pop pop pop pop sound, but I've only noticed it with the skip fwd/bck buttons.

    Dish 922 Sling Issues

    Mine is direct connected and I've always had the same issue. Whenever I open the app on my android it gives me weird guide info from another area, and says the receiver is not connected. I have to hit menu/refresh EVERY time I open the app. After the menu/refresh it normally populates the...

    722k Remote Only Moves My Samsung 6000 TV Set's Volume Control One Increment At A Time

    They have the same codes as everyone else. The code they gave you started with a "2" and then was just the 3 digit code you.could.have gotten from the book. The amps require you to add 2 in front of the 3 digit code in the book. So they're the same codes, they just helped you to do it right...

    722k Remote Only Moves My Samsung 6000 TV Set's Volume Control One Increment At A Time

    794 is the best code for Samsung, works on 95% of them and doesn't make you hit it over and over to go up or down.

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    if you look at the reflector the 4 bolts on the .2 are evenly spaced on the .4 the top 2 bolts are farther apart than the bottom 2. That's the quickest and easiest way to tell.

    Will adding a Hi speed 1.4 HDMI cable on a Vip722 help

    If you look up the codes that are on the hdmi cable from the dish box you will see that it is in fact the same specs as the 1.4 "high-end" hdmi cables. Don't waste your money they are THE SAME THING.

    Best way to combine OTA and TV2 RF?

    The interference may be from one of the OTA frequencies of some sort, whether it be radio or tv. Try changing your tv2 modulated channel to a different one, try 62. I've had the same thing happen where you'd get a crappy picture with the antenna moved or with the ota hooked in and changing the...

    722 and Comcast on the same cable ?

    Try setting the modulator to cable channel 125. I know that it works with Mediacom here in my area as I have done it. BUT do not try to use the remote tv2 antenna method with this, the internet feed will backfeed into the receiver's antenna port and fry it inside the box, lol.

    922 does not recognize satellite

    I know this is a few months old, but: If the 922 has stock software and hasn't been updated it might not show the 72 and will not show the 77 satellites. Have you tried to go ahead and download the software and then do another check switch afterwards? I've had it happen that when installing...

    TV2 Remote Antenna Boost on 922

    Has anyone found any m10 connectors or barrels that are m10 to f style? I have a customer that needs his antenna moved in order to get the tv2 to work. @Matt is there a part number from Dish that I can give my Area Manager so she can order the kit? I think you said that part number was just...

    722K MT2 issue

    I concur with that, when I had my 622 the OTA channels took up way more space than the corresponding satellite delivered channel.

    VIP222

    There's no real advantage to the 61.5 anymore, they split all the hd between 61.5 and 72.7, so you might as well just remove that and do a check switch to make the receiver remove it. If you can get LOS to 129, that'd better than the 6.5 now that they've split the EA up. BUT if you have 61.5...
