    Band B for UHF 6.3 remote with 622?

    I'm having some trouble with distance of my 6.3 UHF Pro remotes to our 622 DVR. I'm seeing references on the internet that Band B would give us better distance and should be possible with the 622, however I can't seem to get it to work. Is it possible to use that combination? If so, can...

    Caller ID via DishComm?

    I have a 622 and 722 DVR in the house. The 722 has a phone line connected and caller ID is working. The two DVR's can see each other via DishComm, but the caller ID is not showing on the 622. I'm not sure what might be going on? Is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Craig

    Oversize HD output from Vip 722

    I recently noticed that the HD picture from my Vip 722 is being chopped off on the top and bottom by quite a bit. Thinking it was my TV, I attempted to adjust this morning only to find that the chopped off portions aren't really being sent to the TV. I have the DVR hooked to the TV using...

    DishComm Setup No Longer Works

    I'm not exactly sure when it stopped working, but the DishComm setup I had working between my Vip 622 and Vip 722 DVR's is no longer transmitting caller ID information. That is a huge bummer. I remember when I first set it up, the automatic scan didn't work and I had to add the other...

    Two 622/722 Questions

    I have a 622 and 722 in the house. I have a couple of questions about the way they behave... wondering if the behavior can be altered. 1) Is there a particular reason that OTA stations cannot be shown on TV2? I've connected an OTA antenna for my step daughter to get her shows on The CW. Is...

    Powered Antenna with Satellite receivers

    I feel like an idiot with this stuff. I've asked a few different questions in this group and I still can't quite get it into my head how to fit all of this together. I have 622 and 722 receivers in my house connected to the Dish 1000 dish. There are two lines coming from the satellite that go...

    Two-way signals using diplexer?

    I believe I understand diplexers enough to know the answer to this, but I want to verify. I would like to use a diplexer to send the TV2 signal out from the DVR while receiving the signal from an OTA antenna to that same DVR. Given that radio frequencies are a form of alternating current, I...

    ABC messing with DVR times?

    Is ABC messing around with their schedule data? I have things set up to end 1 minute beyond schedule, but most ABC shows end up cut off at the end by a minute or so. Am I missing something about the way the Dish DVR's work?

    DishComm troubleshooting

    I got my 625 -> 722 upgrade today. I also have a 622 in the house. I had hoped to use DishComm to share caller ID information, but for some reason the receivers are not seeing each other in DishComm. Both of them are hooked up to surge protectors, but I'm not sure if that is the issue or not...

    Extra charge if not connected to phone line?

    I called the other day about what it would take to switch out my 625 DVR for another Vip622. The quoted $149 is a bit steep, but I'm still considering it. There were two things that the rep said that caught me off guard and I didn't really understand. 1) He said something about there being a...

    Diplexers and DishHD?

    I'm a big time newbie when it comes to the world of satellite TV. As a cable convert, I'm still not entirely sure I like satellite, but at this point I have an 18 month commitment to keep :-) I've read a bit about using diplexers to piggyback OTA signals onto the incoming cable and then break...

    Switch from 625 to VIP622?

    I currently have two DVR's in the house... one VIP622 (with DishHD) and one 625. I've been on Dish network for a couple of months now. Is it possible for me to switch out the 625 with another VIP622? If so, what would be the up front cost to do the swap? What would be the monthly cost...

    VIP 622 versus VIP 625

    I'm still pretty new to Dish network and satellite TV in general. I currently have a ViP 622 and ViP 625 in two different places in the house. I'm wondering if there should be a significant difference in their ability to tune signals during a storm. While I'm (unfortunately) well aware that...

    Hello, I'm a recent convert to Dish Network. I have a VIP622 connected to my Optoma RD50 DLP television. Unfortunately, there are no listed codes for the Dish remote control for my TV. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the remote programmed for my TV? Is there any chance that these...

    What is the best way to setup my house?

    I was directed to this forum from the DirecTV forum due to Dish's multiroom receivers. That group suggested I get further information from the users of this group. I'm tired and frustrated with cable and am considering moving to satellite. Over the years, we've collected quite a number of...

    How would you setup my house?

    Hello, I'm a newbie to the forums, so please be gentle with me! We are currently cable customers and I'm getting tired enough of the cable company to be interested in moving to satellite. The problem that I'm having is that I don't know how to structure the television distribution in our...
