    ViP 722: Error 850 with new Toshiba 1 TB EHD

    I have tried to get my new Toshiba 1 TB EHD to work on a ViP 722 a couple of times. Each time, I plug everything in from scratch, so I am pretty sure that the new USB cable is properly connected. Each time, I have to cycle power on the DVR to get it to even recognize anything has changed. In...

    Check signals fixes signals - please explain again!

    Thursday night, a whole slew of channels were unwatchable: SBYND, most SD Starz, most SD Encore, etc. They were still bad on Friday morning. FWIW, the receiver is always powered down at night. I went to the check signals menu, signals looked good on 110 and 119, and when I exited, the channels...

    Why would looking at signal strength "fix" reception (no check switch run)?

    Was trying to look at something on Encore channels on Friday night - all of the SD were unwatchable but the HD versions were great (different satellites?). Went to the setup screen to check the satellite signals - 119 was up around 75, 110 was fluctuating between 50 and 60, and 129 was going...

    One channel bad, other good - same satellite.

    I get my locals from 129 (SD locals). Sunday night, one local was pixellated, and the others were fine. Could that be due to different transponders? I typically lose 129 if there is any weather at all, but usually it is all or nothing.

    Why so many east coast locals on 129?

    I know it has loads of spotbeams, and is nice and new and all, but it is sooo hard to get LOS.... I am getting a whopping 30 to 35 on a clear day - I hate to see what it will be today in the rain, and later when the leaves all come in....

    Eastern LIL on 129 - chances it will change?

    I get my locals in SD from 129 - Charlottesville, VA. I asked the installers who did my move what the chances of them moving to EA are - they did not know. I have LOS issues with 129, never get better than 30 or 35 at my new house. Since it was technically a new installation, I had hoped to get...

    1000.2 Cable Routing Question

    How should the cables be set up for a 1000.2 with a wing dish? I had a SuperDish 500 to get 110 and 119, and a wing dish to get 129. All was well, but 110 went out, and it turned out the DP34 was bad. I scheduled a service. Two days before the appointment, a thunderstorm caused a *big* tree to...

    Quick question about alignment.

    I need to move my 129 wing dish - long story, but it is currently mounted on a tree. Leaves are starting to cause it to drop out. I have located a good spot to do a new pole mount, but need some advice on alignment. I know all the numbers (az, el, etc.), and am mounting on the center of a Dish...
