    installer grounding question

    I am in the process of gathering equipment to upgrade my dad to hd. I noticed that his 500 dish is not grounded, but the cable has a ground block that is connected to the house electrical ground via an outdoor light fixture. This seems like a short cut taken by a dish installer. Should I...

    Replacing Dish 500 with 1000.4 WA

    The Dish 500 is mounted on a mast set in concrete. Will the 1000.4 mount fit on the same mast that the 500 is currently setting on? I see mentions of bracing the dish on the forums. Thanks. J.Vo

    Troubleshooting Sound Dropouts

    Could the forums please help me to troubleshoot an issue I am having with sound. My 922/Dish 1000 is connected to an Onkyo receiver via HDMI. When watching a satellite channel, the digital audio stream will cut out for a second or two. This occurs on both live broadcasts, and DVR if the...

    Dual HD Tuner Single TV Dish Receiver

    I have a 922 and a 622. I deactivated the 622 because of the 17 dollar a month fee and it was in a room that was seldom used. Now I may want a receiver back in that room. Dish charges a premium for that second standard definition TV output that I have no use for. Is there a receiver that...

    Old Installation Revision

    My install needs a revision. I noticed that the original installer 8+ years ago grounded the coax but not the mast of my OTA antenna. There is a splice in the cable about 10 feet from the antenna that is going to cause some signal loss. The cable on the side of the house is falling off and...

    Dish Remote Access/Mac Browsers

    I am finding that slinging my 922 to my Macbook Pro is practically unusable. I have tried both Safari and Firefox with current versions. It will work, especially if I find a channel and leave it alone. Changing channels or stream quality eventually leads to loss of stream. Reconnecting...

    Slingplayer 1.0.8 Mac/922 password?

    I am trying to salvage some functionality from my 922 before I consider selling it. Too unstable for my liking. Anyway, I am trying slingplayer 1.0.8 for mac. It finds my 922 on the LAN, but asks me for a password for the 922. I tried my dish remote password and it does not work. My mac...

    Sling Has Access To Only 1 SAT Feed At A Time

    I had a timer fire this morning while watching live on my computer. No one was watching TV1 at the time. I went to switch channels back to what I was watching and was prompted to stop the recording to switch. I was able to change channels to OTA and use DVR. Is there a way to get sling...

    922 on LAN

    Loving my 922 and I am not having any major issues. When I stream from the 922 on my LAN, does the data have to go up to dish and then back to me on my WAN connection, or does it travel directly from the 922 over my CAT6 to my client? The reason I ask is that my ISP has a cap. J.

    I am stumped with my 622. The program title does not disappear after a few seconds delay. I have to manually toggle it with my remote. Is there a setting I need to know about?

    DP34/VIP 622 not seeing 110

    I thought I had a bad DP34 switch, but now I am wondering if my 622 is fried. On the evening of the Sopranos final, I had an issue with my 622. I accidentally tuned it to one of the dish application channels TVG or HRTV (cannot remember which one) and tried to cancel/change channels while it...

    622 Audio Stutter

    I have had a 622 for about 1 year or so and it was replaced x 1 for bad HDMI. I used the toslink to my sony receiver. The audio stutters frequently and I have to pause and play for it to resolve. I have held off calling thinking it is a software update that will be resolved down the road but...

    I have a 622 that I own and an 811 that I lease. In my area, I get 11-1,11-2,11-3. These channels are display correctly on the 622, but show as 10-1, 10-2 on the 811. They used to be normal but suddenly the number switched to 10. I have rescanned locals, reset to factory, and reset the...

    I had trouble receiving 119 last night using my 622. A hard reset and check switch brought it back. I now notice that Input 1 shows X X N.C. for 61.5. What does this mean and is it normal. I am receiving HD programming from 61.5, so I can see it OK. My setup: DP Quad Dish 500 with two...

    Colorado Springs/Pueblo OTA

    I recently added E* 811 HDTV with an OTA. The DTV in my area comes in in the mid to lower 80s with the exception of KRDO 13, which is 49% then locks in around 61%. Since the transmitters are all at Cheyenne Mountain, I am wondering if KRDO is broadcasting a weaker DTV signal compared to KKTV...
