    Is the "list" available anywhere?

    I used ""the list" to help me determine if my local HD channels will be on eastern or western arc as I travel in my RV. I know it's won't be current but it will be a starting point.

    QPSK receivers will go dark Feb. 10

    The changeover to 8PSK has caused an additional problem besides loss of old receivers. I travel in an RV using a First Strike FS1-SE sat meter to set up my dish, however it's only works with QSPK. I need to find a replacement that works for the casual user and doesn't cost an arm and leg...

    IR remote problems

    The TV is a 42" Vizio LED Smart TV. It is located on a wall mount above the 722K receiver. the receiver is on a table about 24 inches below the TV. I tried using the remote in an IR mode even when the TV was off. Won't even turn on.

    IR remote problems

    Partial success. After many tries I was able to get TV1 & 2 to operate on UHF side of remote. I found that I could get the IR remote to work if I held it about 2 inches from the IRD window on the receiver; this was true for all three remotes in the IR mode. So at least I can now operate my...

    IR remote problems

    Yes the SAT button lights up. I thought that since have two UHF remotes, I might be able to program the receiver so that TV1 and TV2 were UHF. Can't figure out how to do it.

    IR remote problems

    My receiver does not respond to IR signal from remote. I tried two other remotes, set them for TV1, programed them from the system info screen, but neither worked, I have unpluged the receiver, remove all batteries, let the system sit overnight; nothing seems to change. I am thinking it is a...

    Help from First Strike FS1-SE users

    I recently purchased a FS1-SE Sat Meter for setting up my RV antenna. The instruction manual leaves a lot to be desired!! I have gone to lygnSat to get the correct set up info for transponders on 61.5 and 72.7 but don't understand the correct use for the 22khz function. I am using an EA .2...

    Help with an OTA setup on VIP722K

    I have a quick question on the same subject. The OTA channel info will show up in the program guide and can be recorded, is this also true if you travel out of your DMA? for example will the Atlanta local info show in the guide if your DMA is still New York city? I have a 722K that I was...

    This is the Sat map I have been looking at: http://satmaps.satelliteguys.us/home/echostar-16-61-5w-sp29-rochester I understand that I can call Dish and change my DMA but this is a temporary location and I didn't want to bother. I was surprised by the area of coverage of the spot beam when I...

    Help understanding SatMap information

    Ok let me rephrase the question... How accurate are the Spot Beam maps shown in the SatMaps page? It would seem that the coverage for SP29 on the 61.5 sat for Rochester NY extends all the way down to the Philadelphia area, however I don't know if the signal strength at that point is adequate...

    Can't Find A Device Code for My TV

    I did a little more digging too, it seems that the RLED2445A-C is an RCA Canada model. Went to their site (RCA.ca) but no support. It figures, since I bought it a WallyWorld. Actually the TV is very nice, great picture, true 1080i and the right combination of inputs for my application; I just...
