    Birmingham, Al. CBS 42 hd problems

    i live in Fayette AL and i have noticed the same problem with 42. "The Unit" last weekend was particularly bad and it was really annoying my wife. good thing i don't watch CBS that much. unfortunately, i can only pick up CW over OTA -nothing else :( guess i should go call Dish and complain.

    722 511 software Fast Forward erratic

    i just went upstairs and tried again. i couldn't get it to happen on a couple of the HD shows i watched. i know it was doing it before with HD shows though. but on the SD shows, it was still there and nothing affected it (ff speed 4x, 15x, etc. or using the "pause first before play" technique...

    Anyone have the Harmony 550 remote?

    nice thing about the 360 harmony remote is that it has the 4 colored buttons that match the 360's buttons. but for the DVR i use those buttons for the DVR, GUIDE, ZOOM, and TV ZOOM buttons. no figitting with the menu (at the top of the remote) 99% of the time. you also should have the four...

    does someone know if someone from dish scans these forums or should we all call dish and complain? or should we all call and complain anyways?

    Anyone have the Harmony 550 remote?

    i have the logitech xbox 360 remote which is about the same as the 550. with a call to logitech support (and getting through to a level 2 tech support person), i was able to get the remote to work with both my 722 and 625. very easy to setup and use. only complaint i have with it is that some of...

    Cheat heat fix

    DVR's run all the time though. I am not sure what the point of only cooling it some of the time would be. Putting some kind of rheostat on the fan and adjusting the speed slightly would be a better solution. if you do cool the unit with a fan on the right side, make sure it is a fairly high...

    Anyone done the Sharp HDTV E* offer?

    i almost did the Dish/Sharp deal a few months back. but at the time they were out of stock, along with most other retailers. just so happened that QVC had a "today's special" on the 46" inch i wanted and that is what i did. my wife could stomach the "five easy payments" better than the lump sum...

    UHF remote antenna problems...

    here my problem... i have a 625 and 722. using a coax splitter/combiner, i ran coax out of each unit into the combiner. then ran a single coax line into my attic (two story house with an attic) and attached the antenna that came with the 625 to the end of the coax. the antenna is in the middle...

    Fri Night Price is Right not in HD

    is everyone else seeing the friday night showing of the price is right in SD (on the HD channel)? when it frist started a few weeks ago, it was in HD. but the last couple of weeks have been SD (on the HD channel). is it just our local CBS doing it, or dish, or is everyone seeing it this way...

    adult programming ?

    hmmm. i am the only person who has done any setup on the reciever. except for the installer who just got it working with the dish outside, but i watched him like a hawk to see what he was doing. i went into the setup menu to check the lock screen, and the adult option there is not set (so it...

    adult programming ?

    where are the adult channels in the EPG? i can't find them in the list of "all channels". i would assume they would be red since i dont subscribe to them, but shouldn't i still be able to view the program guide for them?

    722-timers messed up after time change

    i thought about asking the second person i talked to to let me talk to a second level person, but it was late and i was annoyed. i will keep that in mind next time! hmmm. they really need an option to DISABLE timers then. for cases where i know a show wont be on for awhile, but i would rather...

    722-timers messed up after time change

    lucky you then. neither of the tech support people i talked to yesterday suggested doing anything more drastic than a simple reboot (which i had already done by myself). then i was told i would need to delete all my timers (about 80 right now) and re-do them. argh!! FYI, my 722 will only allow...

    722-timers messed up after time change

    after three re-boots and two calls to dish support, nothing was fixed. so i forced an EPG download using the "check switch" option. immediately afterwards, nothing had changed. then about 15 minutes later i noticed that all the future shows that were scheduled to record at the wrong times were...

    722-timers messed up after time change

    after the time change last night, some of my timers are messed up. some timers are just recording an hour early. others are recording twice. for example, it is set to record the price is right tomorrow morning at 10AM (CST). but it is instead recording it at 9AM AND 10AM (press the DVR button 3...

    Black lines on top of picture??

    mountnbykr, i believe you want it in zoom mode. it will just zoom in very slightly, enough to cut off the border of the screen (and the offending lines). i usually keep my sharp in dot by dot mode though, unless the bars really annoy me. see these links for more info on the "black lines"...

    Black lines on top of picture??

    (since no one else has replied...) the problem you describe will happen with some SD channels. some HD channels (some NBC shows do) have solid white lines around the top and left outer edges also. has something to do with overscan or something like that (i forget all the technical info about it...

    Can't hook up 3rd TV.

    i have attached a new image. yours wasn't quite right. also, earlier there wasn't a seperate line going out for the cable modem (does this line exist? it is probably the same line that runs to the bedroom and there is a splitter in the bedroom). remember, this layout (in the image) will get...

    Can't hook up 3rd TV.

    you will need to get another 2 way splitter(combiner) to combine the "wire from street" with the UHF/VHF out of the STVC. then run that combined wire into the intput of the SV-3G.

    Can't hook up 3rd TV.

    here is my guess... on the STVC switch, the line labed "in/out" goes to the sat. reciever. then on the back of the sat. receiver, the TV2 output is ran back through this same line to the STVC. so the line labeled VHF/UHF goes to your kids bedroom. on the SV-3G switch, the "cable from house"...

    Can't hook up 3rd TV.

    are you still getting regular cable ("cable from street")? or did you have your cable shut off and are only using satellite? it might also help if you re-labeled the cables that say "cable from house" and tell where they go to exactly.

    HD out of B'Ham Alabama, Knight Rider is 'crap' for me

    i was driving home from Bham around six or so and it was raining somewhat. but we live in fayette (100 miles away) and my wife said it hadn't rained there since before 5pm. so all of that was before AI came on. does rain, etc affect the transmission of the signal from the TV station to dish...

    Hooking up a third TV to a 622???

    the OTA coax connection is seperate from the home distribution coax connection. you are not transmitting "through the air" when using the home distribution line afaik.

    Hooking up a third TV to a 622???

    please clarify... if you run a coax line from the 'home distribution' connector to a TV somewhere else in the house, how are you broadcasting to the neighborhood exactly?
