    Dish clipping ends of programs?

    Recording HD programs back to back on same channel If you want to record two HD programs back to back, most HD channels are on Dish Network at two locations. They are the three digit number and the 9400/9500 locations. That does take two tuners, but gets the whole show on each channel. Or on...

    Is the time on the Dish Network receivers correct

    One thing I do when recording marathon, is use two channels. But this only for recording HD programs. Most HD channels are on two channels, the 3 digit channels and the 9000 series of channels. IE, BBC America is on 135 and 9450. This requires that you alternate tuners and channels. It works for...

    EHD recordings not showing up

    I noticed that the EHD was missing from the My Recordings page after I replaced the receiver because of a rebooting problem. I did find it on the DISH on Demand page (Press DVR once) at number 6, which you have to scroll down to. James Daniel Bishop

I found out the day before and called tech service. They reset the appointment and didn't charge me because...

    How ota sub channels be accessed ?

    Sub Channels with Harmony Remote I have a Harmony 880 universal remote that I purchased just after getting my VIP622. When I tried to program OTA sub channels in, i.e. 013-01, into the Favorites, I ran into the leading Zero being dropped problem. Harmony had no answer. By accident, I found out...

    XGAMES Out of Sync

    I would guess the 4 cameras could be coming directly from the X-Games site to DISH. But ESPN is going from the X-Games site to Bristol CT for commercial integration and then to the Satellite for distrabution to Dish. Each satellite hop adds delay. I work at a a TV station and can see our signal...

    622, PVR, TV2 and IR

    The way I use TV2 to my DVD Hard Drive Recorder is to set a View Channel timer shortly before the event to be recorded. That turns on TV2's output. I also set a DVR Event as a backup incase the DVD messes up. Basically, use a TV2 timer to set the channel and record a Line input on the DVD...

With a 942, from Stand By can you timer record and output the show on TV2 at the same time. I ask because I library some shows on DVD and would like to record to the DVD recorder, while...

    921 software upgrade in progress

    I noticed that too and mentioned it last week in L185 OTA Station loss thread. I have since noticed that it only happened when the 921 was left in SD when turned off. If in SD, the unit reboots to 480p for DTV. If left in 1080i, it stays in 1080i. I was going to post this observation tonight...
