I also lost 61.5. I figured it was my stuff so I went in and did a switch test. 61.5 was completely gone. Next morning it was back. anybody know what happened?

Thanks. I got all the info I needed to support my hopper/ joey install, I just wish they would just ship me the stuff and let me do it. The one thing that stands in the way is I wanted to keep my (owned) 722 to use in my RV so I can use the dual tuners to run 2 TV's,but they will not let me...

Are these installers that would be willing to take the job? or are they Dish employees that are good at what they do?

what is a DIRT member? I am looking to change out all my equipment for Joey/Hopper stuff

My problem turned out to be I have an external wireless AP mounted up on a phone pole pointed right at the RV I was mounting the dish on. The AP / pole location right where the 61.5 satellite is, only 20 deg lower. i moved the dish 10 feet and problem went away. its always something :(.

I use a Dish 500 in my RV. I am trying to aim it at 61/72. I know it will work because I have done it in the past, but this time I just can't get it to work. I have the skew correct, because it worked all spring until I took the old RV home to trade it in, now I have the new RV on site and I...

There is 1 panel outside RV that has 4 inputs. Main, Sat1, Sat2 Sat3 (they use the word Sat as satellite location, not satellite dish) There is 3 TV locations in RV, each of which has 2 jacks. Main goes up to the bedroom, where it is connect to power supply/switch for roof antenna. output...

this rig has a input patch panel with main, and sat 1, 2 and 3. main connects into the bedroom, where it is connected to the switch for OTR antenna. OTR antenna output connects to a splitter that feeds a jack in basement, bedroom, and entertainment center (which is in a slide-out). Sat 1, 2 and...

back to the drawing board. Too much loss in the Camper Coax. Far end TV's don't have a very good picture. I added an amp I got laying around but that starts to mess with the digital signal that's on the same wire.

thanks. I hooked it up to try it, currenntly scanning locals and have found 6 so far. My receiver only has output on channel 3 or 4, so I will try that next. Opinion needed: The splitter I need is 1 into 3. Would you run the OTR signal into the input of the splitter (it is the probably a...

I have a HD receiver I use in my RV (I have been using Dish in the RV since the 90's). First I use the (single) receiver to feed the main TV with HDMI, then the remote TV's (low def) using the receiver coax output. My last RV had the roof antenna output jack right next to the receiver location...

Your probably right. I just went down and gently wiggled the HDMI cable in the receiver and it came back on. See the TV is wall mounted in my bedroom. the 10' HDMI cable goes straight down through the floor to the receiver which sits on a shelf up high on the basement wall. I had to do this...

I have a 622 with an HDMI cable going to my Samsung TV. This setup has been working for 2 years now. I noticed the Receiver was replaced 2/2011 for something (can't recall what, but I do recall it took 2 receivers before Dish got me a good one). Last week the HDMI output stopped working. If...

I know I am late posting to this, but being in Phila area, I have been bitching about this for 15 years. I hear Comcast gave Fios access to CSN to prevent a court case where Verizon was going to fight Comcast over providing local Telephone service. I have also heard because of the old prism...

What is the part number of this remote that should have come with my 612 (that is either UHF or IR)?
