    TV2 Remote Antenna Boost on 922

    The push on works, I've used that exact setup for a customer on a 922 that had concrete walls and the tv2 remote wouldn't work at all. The f fittings are the same size, just different threads. The other thing you could do if you really wanted to use use 922/hopper antenna (which isn't...

    TV2 Remote Antenna Boost on 922

    I'm confused why you would need to do this on a hopper. The antenna only serves the hopper, as each Joey has their antenna built in, and the hopper can't be that far from your viewing position can it? But, one way I have found to extend it is to buy a push on connector from Radio Shack and...

    Dish 922 Sling Issues

    I appreciate the help, but I've seen 20+ 922's in the field doing the same audio glitch, swapping it out for a different one will do nothing.

    Dish 922 Sling Issues

    That's on the tv, it's done it ever since day one. It does a weird pop, pop pop pop pop sound, but I've only noticed it with the skip fwd/bck buttons.

    Dish 922 Sling Issues

    Mine is direct connected and I've always had the same issue. Whenever I open the app on my android it gives me weird guide info from another area, and says the receiver is not connected. I have to hit menu/refresh EVERY time I open the app. After the menu/refresh it normally populates the...

    722k Remote Only Moves My Samsung 6000 TV Set's Volume Control One Increment At A Time

    They have the same codes as everyone else. The code they gave you started with a "2" and then was just the 3 digit code you.could.have gotten from the book. The amps require you to add 2 in front of the 3 digit code in the book. So they're the same codes, they just helped you to do it right...

    722k Remote Only Moves My Samsung 6000 TV Set's Volume Control One Increment At A Time

    794 is the best code for Samsung, works on 95% of them and doesn't make you hit it over and over to go up or down.

    How to tell a 1000.4 vs 1000.2 Dish?

    if you look at the reflector the 4 bolts on the .2 are evenly spaced on the .4 the top 2 bolts are farther apart than the bottom 2. That's the quickest and easiest way to tell.

    Will adding a Hi speed 1.4 HDMI cable on a Vip722 help

    If you look up the codes that are on the hdmi cable from the dish box you will see that it is in fact the same specs as the 1.4 "high-end" hdmi cables. Don't waste your money they are THE SAME THING.

    Best way to combine OTA and TV2 RF?

    The interference may be from one of the OTA frequencies of some sort, whether it be radio or tv. Try changing your tv2 modulated channel to a different one, try 62. I've had the same thing happen where you'd get a crappy picture with the antenna moved or with the ota hooked in and changing the...

    722 and Comcast on the same cable ?

    Try setting the modulator to cable channel 125. I know that it works with Mediacom here in my area as I have done it. BUT do not try to use the remote tv2 antenna method with this, the internet feed will backfeed into the receiver's antenna port and fry it inside the box, lol.

    922 does not recognize satellite

    I know this is a few months old, but: If the 922 has stock software and hasn't been updated it might not show the 72 and will not show the 77 satellites. Have you tried to go ahead and download the software and then do another check switch afterwards? I've had it happen that when installing...

    TV2 Remote Antenna Boost on 922

    Has anyone found any m10 connectors or barrels that are m10 to f style? I have a customer that needs his antenna moved in order to get the tv2 to work. @Matt is there a part number from Dish that I can give my Area Manager so she can order the kit? I think you said that part number was just...

    722K MT2 issue

    I concur with that, when I had my 622 the OTA channels took up way more space than the corresponding satellite delivered channel.

    VIP222

    There's no real advantage to the 61.5 anymore, they split all the hd between 61.5 and 72.7, so you might as well just remove that and do a check switch to make the receiver remove it. If you can get LOS to 129, that'd better than the 6.5 now that they've split the EA up. BUT if you have 61.5...

    How do you modulate both tv's off the cable connection on a 222

    If you can't get a picture on tv1 that's rather difficult. It's easier to buy a cheap rf modulator imo. Even if you use it just to turn the modulator on or get an OTA module that'll allow tv1 ch3 out.

    004 error message - just on some 129 channels ????

    004 I believe is generally a switch error whether it's the built in switch of the lnb or an external 33 or 44 sw.

    Help with LNBs

    You can use a y adapter on a 500 dish with just 1 lnb on it, so I don't see why you can't use that on the 36", you just have to aim it off center a little.

    VIP222

    If the 500 has LNB"S" then they aren't DPP. It only has a dual lnb which can be DPP, but if it has 2 then they have to be a DP single/dual and then you need a 33 or 44 switch to run just 1 line to it (with a separator) since it's a dual tuner receiver or run 2 lines to it from the switch if...

    Can I use dish 300 or Dish 500 satellite dist to get signal from 118.7

    I have seen that done, and although I think it is the laziest and dumbest way to get internationals, it does work. Laziest because when I've seen it done the tech is too lazy to remove the existing .4 and put up the 500+ yet he got paid double for putting up the + even though he didn't, which is...

    Can I use dish 300 or Dish 500 satellite dist to get signal from 118.7

    You have to have the 500+ to get 118.7, as Ice stated the arm length is too short for the focus beam.

    Can I upgrade my VIP 622 to 722 without a new contract?

    I know they're not the same, but as far as the CSR's computer is concerned they are the same. When they setup a work order, either trouble call or service change, or new connect for that matter, it only says 622/722 they can not specify between the two because Dish counts them as the same. Like...

    600 Feet of RG11 DPP Twin -> DPP44

    It doesn't turn it into a DP Twin it essentially turns it into 2 DP Singles. Adding a switch disables the built in switch causing the DPP-Twin to output 110 on one coax and 119 on the other. If it acted like a DP-Twin it would still output 119/110 on the same line just without the DP PRO...

    Can I upgrade my VIP 622 to 722 without a new contract?

    I have had 3 customers and myself that were told by dish that you cannot upgrade the 622 to a 722 because they are the same thing as I stated above, it will not happen.

    Can I upgrade my VIP 622 to 722 without a new contract?

    Well, he has to imply that there is "a problem" with the receiver so the tech can swap it out. Dish will NOT setup up a DIU for a 622-722 swap out, the only 2 ways to get it done is to buy it or have it replaced on a service call.
