I've had a VIP722 for several years. A couple of years ago, it started requiring the satellite coax to be unscrewed from the splitter and reconnected. Then it'll go through the acquiring satellite and download program guide. It doesn't do it every time and often goes for several days before...

I'm trying to figure out how the genie mini is hooked up through the house to the genie. This would be a wired installation and not the wireless version. It appears to be a coax which makes me think that its some form of Moca. Thanks in advance.

I'm planning on switching to DirectTV and would like to know what happens when I cancel Dish? Do they do it immediately or does it continue until the end of the billing period? Then, what do you do about the DVR (722 in my case) and the thing out in the yard? What I'm trying to avoid is...

I'm currently on Dish and am planning to move to Direct TV. Question that I'd like answered is will there be a new Genie or other whole house DVR coming out from Direct TV that was announced at CES or otherwise announced? If a new DVR is expected from Direct TV, I'd rather wait so that I can...

I just moved a TV to the bedroom and can use the coax cable to get signal to it from the 722 located 2 rooms off. Problem is that the TV is 65" and the SD quality picture sucks. I already have the 722 hooked up to the home network going through a wired home network going through a switch...

I currently have a VIP 722 and a new wife who likes to record things that she doesn't watch. Eventually, I think she's going to fill up the hard drive. I'd like to eventually upgrade to the Hopper with sling (when that comes out) but would like to find out if it allows some form of user...

I have a VIP722 with a 1000.2 dish triple LNB system and almost daily have a lost signal screen when I first turn on my receiver. It doesn't do anything until I slightly unscrew then screw in the input side of my current 123254 seperator which makes me wonder if its gone bad or if maybe it was...

....and if so, in which menu can it be found? I've been all over it and must just be missing it.

Post deleted.....figured it out. deleted

I've noticed that Direct TV has some 3D content and was wondering if anyone has heard anything about Dish Network having any 3D. Also, what about the equipment?

I have a problem that every few days, when I turn on the VIP 722, I get the screen about acquiring signal and it goes through the transponders and doesn't read anything. Power recycling and unplugging the power cord doesn't correct it. I have to unscrew the cable from the Dish Pro Plus...

I've noticed that if on an OTA recording, if I don't allow to record extra minutes, I may not get all of a show. That happened tonight with Big Bang Theory (which by the way doesn't have full episodes on the web, so I can't go there to watch what I missed) I know that there is a basic logic...

I don't know if I have a bad receiver or what. On my Dish 722 input, I have to manually adjust my subwoofer level down a few dbs due to the overdone bass. I've checked my prepro (B&K Ref 50) and don't see where there is a custom equalization applied to that input that would account for the...

According to the spec sheet it looks like I should only have 1 OTA tuner on my VIP 722 (this is not the 722K). But I'm able to record two OTA channels at one time as selected from the OTA channels in the program guide. One thing I notice is that I get the antenna symbol with one of them...

Other than remote programming of my VIP 722, is there anything else that the ethernet port or the built in powerline port can be used for?

My situation is that I live in an area where I have two ChannelMaster 4228 antennas(stacked one over the other turned at slightly different angles) amplified so that I can receive signals from 5 digital stations, two of which are wider apart than the angle of acceptance for a single 4228. They...

I thought I'd check to see whats on the VOD 501 channels and I've got nothing. What happened?

Last night this happened again for the third time. I'll turn on the 722 and it can't find the satellites. I've found that unscrewing the satellite coax from the 722, giving it a 10 second rest, then reconnecting it bring it back alive. I have a hunch that something gets screwed up...

I have a recently installed 1000.2 dish installation. As with everybody else, it doesn't take much to have problems with satellite 129 and it seems that a lot of what I watch is on that satellite. I happen to have a 61.5 Voom satellite still on the roof that one of the two installers were...

I'd like to taketo be able to tweak out my dish and to experiment with EA, etc. In doing a little research, it seems that the price range of satellite signal meters vary quite a bit. I was wondering if there's one that most people prefer. Does anyone make one that connect's to a laptop...

I have a 1000.2 installation in zip code 36093. Double checking some information, I see that on the "point dish" screen, when my zip code is entered for a dish system 500, I get Azimuth of 226, Elevation of 42 and Skew of 127. However, when I check the pdf for my zip code, it show Azmuth of...

Yesterday morning when I turned on my sat system, I got an error 015 message where it wasn't incrementing the process number as the system tried different transponders on various satellites. I could still retrieve previously recorded content and play them, I just couldn't get anything "live"...

I'm confused about the capability of this unit to accept two UHF antennas (4228s). It appears that it'll take one VHF and one UHF 75ohm antenna lead. There is an internal switch that has the option to combine. Does this mean that I can plug two UHF antennas into it? Thanks in advance.

I just got Dish for the first time and didn't want to bother with running coax in a hot attic, through walls, etc. So I'm now looking for a RF transmitter to get the signal to my SD TV in the bedroom two rooms away. Two walls and maybe 20ft distance. Its been a while since anyone...

I'm looking to make the jump from cable to satellite and would like to find out how good (or bad) the picture quality is given new satellites, decoders, bandwidth allocations, etc. My concern is that for a pretty good while, DirectTV's HD signal was considered HD Lite and the picture quality...
