    Ground floor apartment, am I good on LOS?

    I'm in Lincoln, NE. I currently live in a second floor apartment with my dish on the balcony mounted to a non-penetrating desk mount as required by my complex. The ground floor apartment directly below me is available, and I'd like to move down. I used the DishPointer app to take this...

    Questions about apartment installation

    I will be moving into an apartment in zip code 68506. The complex is okay with satellite dishes as long as they are not "attached" to the deck or railing (I wasn't lucky enough to get a first floor unit). I saw several dishes in the complex on south-facing decks. My question is, how do I go...

    Adding a Sirius receiver to the home entertainment system

    I'm going to be adding the SRH2000 Sirius receiver to my setup using the Home Signal Distribution Kit for satellite and cable wiring. The installation instructions are fairly vague, but since my dish is mounted on a mast in the ground, I'm going to use the after multiswitch installation where...

    Three DVRs wiped clean!

    I came home from work tonight to discover that all three DVRs (HR22s on whole home) had been wiped clean. All recordings GONE. An entire season of Sons of Anarchy gone. The newest three episodes of Walking Dead gone. Half a dozen movies gone. I called DTV, naturally they had me reset the...

    External monitor with laptop

    I'm trying to connect a Samsung 2333HD monitor to my Dell Studio 15 laptop using the standard video cable connection. I canNOT get the Samsung to set to the proper resolution (1920x1080). I can set the resolution to the optimal for the laptop (1920x1200) but that looks stretchy on the ex...

    XBox 360 game data transfer?

    My boys have been sharing an Xbox 360 for a couple years now. With the oldest one (#1) going off to college next summer, the youngest one (#2) used his Christmas money to buy his own Xbox. Son #2 has spent quite a bit of MY money on downloaded content for Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc. #1 just...

    722 must be reset daily

    Saturday when I pressed the DVR button to watch a recorded program, I got a popup that said "Error 024, Unable to access this function at this time" or something similar. Went to the guide and tried to set a timer to record a future program, got the same thing. Reset the receiver by holding the...

    HD only and 625 receiver

    I have a VIP 722 and a 625 receiver. If I switch to the HD only package without upgrading my 625 receiver, am I correct in assuming that I will not receive the SD equivalents of my HD channels on my 625? Lisa

    Service Charge for installing add'l receiver?

    At some point before the analog OTA signal goes away, I will have to have an installer come out and hook up my kitchen TV to an extra receiver I have. Does anyone know what the charge will be to do this? No complicated cable runs or anything. I'm assuming they will just follow the line from...

    Link for rebate form?

    When I called to upgrade my receiver to a 722, the CSR said the installer should leave the $100 rebate form, if he didn't I could download it from the website. Of course, the installer forgot to leave it and I forgot to ask. Now I can't find the rebate form on the website. Does anyone have a...

    ViP 722 runs hot

    I'm on my second ViP 722 in a week's time. First one was installed last Monday, had all kinds of problems. Wouldn't turn on again after being turned off, called tech support, they had me reset the receiver at least a dozen times, sometimes it came back, sometimes it didn't. Finally scheduled...

    Local rep correct?

    I've been waiting to upgrade to HD, but now that I have my new sound system with HDMI, I don't want to wait any longer. Called my local installer today, who performed my initial install and has done all my upgrades since. Told the gal (the installer's wife) I wanted to upgrade to a 722. She...
