    I wonder what would happen if

    I was never charged to send then back when I cancelled in May of this year . They mailed 2 boxes, I put my 2 receivers in them and dropped them off at the Fedex. Never had a $15 applied to my debit card.

    Just Got Time Warner...Need Some Help...

    As long as you can change the channel on the box with the remote provided, then the installer did his job. Time Warner is not responsible for hooking up or troubleshooting 3rd party devices like IR blasters, home theater equipment, or universal remotes.

    Structured wiring

    Both dish and direct have technology that allows them to need only 1 coax going to a receiver (dish has dpp and direct has swm ). However there can be no splits in the line between the dish and the receiver and the quality of your current cable also makes a difference. You're probably not...

    $15 to ship receiver?

    I cancelled my dish sub and returned 2 receivers about a month ago and was not charged to return them.

    Length of Cable to HD Dish?

    He lied. Most likely he didn't want to get out his ladder, climb up on the roof, and run multiple coax lines down the side of a 2 story building into your condo. Most contractors don't get paid enough for an install to do an extra 2 hours of work like that. My advice is to set up another...

    Diplexer for cable modem and cable tv?

    Don't use a diplexor, use a 2 way splitter or better yet a dc-6 depending on your signal.

    What type r6 to use

    Anywhere you can buy it cheaply is fine just make sure its rated to 3000 mhz (which almost all rg6 sold these days is). All rg6 has a rating of 75 ohms so that shouldn't affect price.

    DVR 625 (In 2 rooms) w/ Cable internet???

    Won't work. You'll need to run a line from the back of your 625 straight to your second tv. The only time 2 different signals can run down the same line is with the use of diplexors but in this case that wouldn't work either.

    Thinking of switching to Directv from Dish

    That's not a problem if the installer knows what he's doing.

    VIP 622 going upstairs

    That's a simple fix. There's 2 diplexers, 1 behind the receiver which you saw and there's another one probably out by the dish or junction box. Just switch the In/out cable and UHF/VHF around on the second diplexor. The In/out port goes to the receiver and the UHF/VHF goes to tv2.

    E* Takes HD Dump.. How does this effect D*.

    To be clear, D* said they will have the ability to carry 150 HD channels with D11, NOT that they would HAVE 150 HD channels. E* said they will HAVE 100 HD channels at the end of 2008...big difference. We still don't know what E*'s capacity is or will be. They could have the same capacity as...

    Dish 1000.2 shows 129 as 119?

    Assuming you have the dish peaked correctly, the 311 won't show the 129 in a check switch until you update the software since it's not a HD receiver. While the receiver is still plugged in, press the power button to turn the receiver off and wait for a while till the receiver powers itself back...

    ViP 722 set Up Message 587 DishCOMM

    You have to activate the box and get a phone line bypass added onto it. To get around that message you can select the "dishcomm" button and once it goes into the screen to setup dishcomm hit the system info button on the front panel. From the system info you can press done and you will go into...

    Any New Receivers Coming?

    The next receiver models will likely be quad tuners or a hd dual tuner that can give hd signal to both tvs since they've pretty much done every other combination receiver. Also likely to come out with a dvr with more recording time.

    Help - DPP-Twin and DP34-500

    You need 3 lines going into the 34 switch not 2. Take the cable from that second dish with just 1 output, unhook it from the other dish, and hook it into one of the inputs on the switch. Make sure the 3 lines coming from the dishes are going to the 3 in ports on the 34 switch and that theres...
