Replaced it with a new digital Magnavox,(tuner,HD and DVD recorder) and volume from TV is low on TV when playing back with new unit. The sound is the same on both inputs to TV. Have been thru menus on TV and Recorder...

    remote recorder

    Have a nice white label on each jewel case to write the information on and if I get tired of it,I erase the label and re enter the information. Plus DVD hardly ever crash. If K&B thinks that old technology,since I am much older than most of you and enjoy the old radio shows from the 40s(I listen...

    remote recorder

    The savings I was thinking about was the playing back of recordings on the hard drive.(start,stop,backup,erase,etc) The main reason was to record the older movies which I like and wife doesn't. Also when watching a HD on side one and my wife does her usual interruptions (phone,snacks,etc-if...

    remote recorder

    I have the 722K dish receiver and record a lot on my external recorder. Do this for two reasons,can record two programs at same time and record a lot of the old black and white movies,which HD doesnt make very much difference and also it saves a lot of ware and tear on my receiver. I have my...

    optical out audio

    Have checked out the Gefen(on Amazon) and reviews said it worked,but was noisy,so recommended the HDTVGTVDD2AA from HDTV. It seems it takes a special one to handle the surround and Dolby Digital. Price is double,but dont mind paying if it works. Can return it if it doesn't work. Not many...

    HDTV

    Found other spec sheet: Just Scan(1:1 Pixels matching) HDMI:1080/10801/720P For component and RF. This is exactly what is printed. This is for a LG-42PW350 Plasma. I figured this was a cheap way to get into 3D,as am sure in the next few years,it will change. This TV looked very good in the...

    optical out audio

    I record from a CD to a type deck old radio programs. I play the CDs thru a DVD playback thru my TV(need TV for menu of CD) to an amplifier to a type deck.(use one of my TV inputs and the audio out on TV to amp and it is analog) That is the reason for the need for optic out conversion to analog...

    HDTV

    The specks say native display resolution is 1024x768. Dont understand,if its not HD,how can it get 3D. This has turned out to be more trouble than buying a car. Is it just a lower quality HD? Have an old 34 inch Sony(tube)and when its acting right,gets a better picture than a lot of new...

    optical out audio

    Noticed looking at new tvs,that most have only a optical sound output. Does anyone know which conversion works for a surround,Dolby optical output to a analog input. Have checked internet and found a lot of feedback about some not working properly. Have found one for $108,that sounds like it...

    HDTV

    Am looking to buy a LG 41 inch that supports a 1024x768 system,instead if a 1920x1080. They told me that Dish only supports the 1024x768,is this true? How much difference would I notice between the two on a plasma 3D.(good price on unit) If Dish only supports the 768,then thats all I would...

    New Problem

    Have an external HD and usually un plug it(PS) when not in use. In the past,when I plug it back in,it takes maybe 15 seconds for Dish to recognize it,well last time I used it,Dish wouldn't recognize it,even after plugging and unplugging HD 3 or 4 times. While waiting for support on Dish,I...

    Dish misinformation

    Have a friend who wants to add a EX HD to his older system. He called Dish and they transferred him to an upper level teck and the teck told him his unit will not work with an EX and if it did he had to buy the ex from Dish he couldn't use the one he purchased elsewhere. He called back and...

    722 question

    On the problem of slow guide,it must also be some kind of problem with the 722 also,as a lot of the 722s have no problem with the new software. Lately,when mine is slow(only 1side),the early morning update fixes it.(so far only happens once every 2 weeks or so) Do any of you have a 3D TV and...

    External HD On VIP 922- What Is The Benefit?

    Another good reason for an EX HD is for safety of your recorded programs,as if and when,your 722 goes out,you loose all the ones on your 722,but still have the ones on EX HD. Hopeful the EX will last a lot longer than 722. I checked with Western Digital and they said it would save the HD,so I...

    comparison 622 vs. 722 vs. 722k? (install Oct 31st)

    K&B,are the automatic recordings also stored in the receiver? I couldn't find anything about this in my know all book that came with it. I learn more interesting things about my Dish system from this board and always reminds how much I don't know.

    Mine has VIP 722K DVR on left front panel and look for red reset button behind front right panel. Would someone explain to a dummy what timers the remote saves,as I am really lost on this point.

    Slow Guide on 722K

    Mine has done this,maybe once every 2 to 3 weeks before and after the new software. It only does it on side 1 and never(so far) on side 2. I called dish and asked about it and they said the unit was downloading information.(happening at the wrong time and not at normal download time),so am not...

    Fan for EHD

    Jim & harshness,please forgive my dumb mistake in my posting as the question was about my 722 duel input Dish receiver and not about my EHD. The temp runs 132 average and 140 high. Its in a 2 ft long , 2 ft wide and 18 inches high shelf. I have it sitting on blocks,so its near 3 inches from...
