    Use deactivated receiver for LNB power?

    For a single H24 receiver installation, can I use a deactivated H21 to power the LNB or do I need to get the power inserter? If I can use the H21, how do i set it up?

    Deactivated H10 for OTA

    I have a single receiver setup, an H21. I'd like to use my old deactivated H10 for OTA, and I read that it just needs to see the satellite in order to boot. What's the best way to do that? Can I simply use a splitter?

    622 or 211k with external hard drive?

    I currently have a 211k and have been offered a free upgrade by Dish to the 622. I'm a little disturbed that the 622 requires a technician to install it (bad experiences in the past) so I'm considering adding an external drive to my 211k and be done with it. The biggest difference here is...

    H21 problem with an HDMI switch

    I'm running an H21 through an HDMI switch and every time I switch off the H21 and back again, I lose signal. I have to power down/power up the H21 to regain signal. Any one else experience this? Edit: BTW, the switch is a 2x1 switch from monoprice purchased about a year ago. I wonder if a...

    VIP211 very strange HDMI problem

    I've got a very strange problem with my 211k receiver. When I connect it to a 22" Acer P221W monitor via HDMI->DVI cable, the screen alternates between a picture and snow every half second or so. When I hook it up to an older 22" monitor that I have using the same cable, it works flawlessy...

    Two dishes

    I have a 522 and an 811 receiver and am scheduled for an upgrade this weekend of my 811 to a 211. I was told that a second dish will need to be installed and my original dish will remain. I assumed that the new dish was for the 811 and the old one for the 522, but I've been told by tech...

    Quote from Dish correct for 211 upgrade?

    I just got off the phone with Dish Network. I was trying to upgrade my 811 receiver to the 211. Their offer for the receiver was a $100 charge with a $100 rebate, which is just silly, but fine. After that they wanted to charge me an extra $10/month for additional HD programming, something I...

    720p and Dish

    I've got the 811 box, and until recently I've had it set to output 1080i. I've just added a second display that only supports progressive scan so I've switched it to 720p. Problem is, the picture quality in 720p mode is terrible. I know the problem isn't with my TV, as I've fed it other 720p...

    New installation, adding an H20 receiver

    I am new to DirecTV, having gotten it installed on Saturday. My current setup has just one receiver, the H20. I'm interested in adding a second H20 reciever, if that's possible. I was considering purchasing one from ebay. Is it possible to add a used receiver to my installation, or do I need a...
