What's the story with dishformyrv.com? Are they just another reseller? Mark

Thinking about getting Wally for use in RV. Would like DVR capability, mostly for pausing/rewinding live TV. I have a 1TB USB disk that I used with a 722 before getting an H3 at home. Can I just plug it in to the Wally, format, and go? Or do I have to follow the instructions on the dish site...

I'm thinking about getting a portable/mobile dish with Wally receiver to use with our travel trailer. Looks like they all are designed to use western arc satellites, with a single exception - the Winegard Pathway X2. But it's (understandably) bigger and heavier. So, do those of you who RV...

Customer for years with a pair of 722s off western arc. Dish (can't remember the model) had LNB with 3 eyes, one for each satellite. Recently upgraded to H3 and Joeys. Installer used same dish, rotated to eastern arc. Replaced LNB with 2-eyed one. I remember the the eastern arc originally...

Stumbled on a good deal on a 1TB usb hard drive so I thought I'd add one to my 722k. Plugged it it, formatted, moved stuff to it, played stuff from it, life is good. Then I remembered that you needed to get an external HD "activated" and that there was a $35 fee for doing so. hmm. Went...

I've had WA HD setup for almost 2 years - 2000.2 dish receiving from 110, 119 and 129. Clear view to all 3, with what seems to be typical signal levels compared to what others post here. 129 suffers occasionally from rain fade, snow hasn't been a problem, don't think I've ever lost 110 or...

The current bill for my account (as shown the web site) is for the period Jan 31 thru Feb 28 It's exactly like all my previous bills. Don't suppose they'll try retroactive charges with March bill :-) Mark

Will the FCC closing of the "terrestrial loophole" mean that E* (if it wants to) will now be permitted to offer local channels from two DMAs, given the customer is located where both can be received? It's always bothered me that Comcast can provide both Johnstown and Pittsburgh (PA) locals...

I have two 722s. One of them will frequently get into a state where many of the channels show a "use the up or down arrow to select a channel if problem continues hold power button for 10 sec" (sorry, I don't remember the exact text or error number) The power button reboots the unit, and I...

Or any of the interactive service for that matter are a joke. It takes so long on a 722 to get there that I hardly ever bother. One factor is the length of time it takes each menu level to load. The other is how deep the weather channel is in the menu tree. Mark

I searched and didn't find anything, so... In the "it would be really nice" category, I'd like to see boxes with a shared modulator (like the 722 or its follow-on) be able to modulate at least TV1 and at best both tv1 and 2 as QAM channels. The you could tune in to HD on any tv on your...

1000.2 receiving 110/119/129 I'd like to take a baseline reading of signal strengths and then compare them with readings over time and during different weather conditions. Is there a particular transponder for each satellite that is generally accepted as the one to use (for aiming, for...

Began thinking about installing E* a couple of years ago. Hired local retailer to come out and do a site survey. We spent about an hour talking about and checking various locations - well worth the $20 charge. Decided rear roof of detached garage was best location. While re-roofing garage...

How does it benefit Dish for me to keep my receiver connecte to a phone line/broadband? Do they figure if I'm connected I'm more likely to purchase PPV? The benefit to me is to save $5. The benefit to them has to be something worth $5 to them. Mark

Two 722ks, both tested successful broadband connection when installed. Both wired directly to router which is also acting as DHCP server. Now one won't connect. Try "reset connection" but it never gets address, mask etc (all 0.0.0.0) Checked DHCP log on router. Shows repeated dhcp...

I currently have my 722k connected via broadband. It would appear that (contrary to Dish's documentation) there is nothing it can't do that a phone connection could (except caller-id of course) If I connect a phone line in addition to the broadband (to get caller-id) are there any functions...

I know the TV2 outputs are SD, but what about recording? Is the TV2 tuner HD and can you record HD using TV2? Mark

Sony Wega (I think) crt/SD TV connected to Toshiba DVD player using component connection - works fine Disconnect cables from DVD and connect to 722 component outputs - resultant picture is a bunch of broken diagonal stripes - much like vertical hold would need adjusted back in the really old...

I remember some talk a while back about being able to purchase multiple local packages "real soon". We're in PA, right on the edge of the Pittsburgh and Johnstown/Altoona DMAs. Disk sez we can subscribe to Pittsburgh local channels. If I can only have one, then I'm glad it's Pgh. But I'd...

Dish500 on roof of detached garage using Commdeck mount. RG6 dual with messenger runs thru garage inerior, then underground in conduit 20ft to the house, then about 30ft inside house to receivers. Messenger conductor connected to dish ground. Grounding blocks at entrance to house (conduit...

Is there any way to increase the receiver-to-lnbf distance with DPP beyond 200 ft? Mark

Getting ready to switch from Adelphia cable to DishNet, most likely right after Christmas. Still trying to understand everything before I head over to my local dealer. Planning to get two 322 receivers with TV2 outputs fed back into my home's distribution system. My local channel situation...

One of the things keeping us from cutting the cable and switching to DishNetwork is the "lack" of local channels. Yes, we can get one local for each major network, but with cable we get 2 for each along with a bunch of independents. I think I've discovered why - we live right at the border...

Does anyone know the output signal level from the TV2 modulator in a 322 receiver? I found one posting here, a review by Scott, that claimed 10db. This seems a bit low, since the instructions talk about placing an attenuator in the line when connecting directly to a TV - and "normal" signal...

If I'm reading/understanding correctly, it looks like you need a 2nd dish pointed at 61.5 to receive all the channels included in the America's Top 180 package. Is this true? Classic Arts Showcase, FEC/PAEC and Good Samaritan Network do not appear to be available on 110 or 119 and are part...
