Yeah, I agree, the third cable would be the best solution. Just looked at the switch menu on the receiver. The Sat Input 1 and Sat input 2, both show DPP 1k.2 w/separator. I'm assuming 1k.2 stands for 1000.2, right?

I'll check that as soon as the recording is finished :) The separators at boxes are Dish Pro Plus DPP Separator 123254. BTW, just checked and there are two coaxs running down from the dish. OK, so there is a possibility of a third cable hookup. This is cheapest for me but involves climbing up...

Not sure about the dish model. Had it installed a week ago. If it makes any difference, it is an oval shaped dish hooked up to two dual HD receivers (VIP722).

Hi, I have two dual tuner HD receivers and would like to set-up a third single tuner in another room. Will splitting the dish signal at the wire going to a dual receiver work for this? Can anyone recommend a good value/quality splitter that would work? Is there a technical limit to number of...

Guys, Don't forget to count potential lost business in the equation. If I was running DN and had to choose between collecting the insurance check and compromising my business strategy, vs. getting a few years of life out the bird, until I could launch another (bigger capacity) satellite, I...

I just upgraded to HD DVR's but the engineer, when I asked about taking old 508's with him, said he doesn't have a RA#, so I can keep them. I think I paid dish DVR upgrade fees when I got this equipment initially during initial sign-up a few years back, but unsure if I own it or not. My...

An update. Yesterday the DN tech came, and installed 2 x VIP 722's instead of one of them being VIP 622. Naturally I didn't complain :p. When I asked about DN promising running two phone lines to receivers, he said DN says anything they want but he would not run lines, as DN doesn't pay them...

No, actually they did lock me in for 24 months, which is not a problem.

That makes me wanna keep the protection plan for 2-3 months (should reveal any equipment faults), then dumping the plan. Just checked online account and see that I can add the plan even online.

To me hard reboot means, SC out/in. Is that what you mean? 5-8 mins a bit patetic :rolleyes:! Have you had any reliability problems apart from soft bugs, i.e. hardware problems that warranted shipping receiver back for replacement?

So I have already been a sucker for 5+ years :). Figuring, spent $300+ on this alone since I had my service. Replaced DVR 508 twice (could have done this MANY MORE times but I just lived with DVR freezing problems). A little OT, but since we are talking about protection plan, are VIP 622/722s...

Oh, and those few people who voted "Sucker", I have nothing against your vote (that's why I included it in the poll :)), but would you mind elaborating as to why that was your opinion? And just to clarify to everyone, purpose of this post was not to brag but to see if I can get a better deal...

It is protection plan I always had. When you say you can add it at any time, isn't there a minimum period you can use the protection plan after you add it? I mean is it as easy as calling DN as soon as dvr breaks and asking them to add the plan, then calling next day and asking for replacement?

Update. Thanks to all who replied and especially DarrenS, who encouraged me to call DN again :) , rsmith7 and Pepper for Dish Advantage info. DarrenS, to answer your question, I have no commitment atm, have been customer for 5+ years and never renewed my initial commitment (which was 12-18...

I looked at DVR advantage but Dish shows very little detail as far as which equipment is included and which programming packages. Would you mind breaking this down in detail? Thanks

Hi folks, This is my first post, so sorry to dive into discussion right away, but would like to know everyones opinion on the deal I just "negotiated" with DN. 6 year customer. Have 2 508 receivers with A250 package. Called DN and after some negotiating here is the deal I got for upgrade...
