    Tailagting with Dish question...

    you should be able to pick up the locals for your area in the Grove. Since CBS, ABC and NBC have regional programming, on game-day the same game should be on in GA as in AL, LA, FL, and SC. The same satellites are being received in the South East so your subscription should remain the same...

    How to view TV2 in two rooms

    Is it possible to split the TV2 signal for viewing in multiple rooms? I have VIP 722. I have not tried this but wonder if an OTA transmitter would work if I amplified the output signal for TV2 and received it at two seperate tvs????? Any other way to get TV2 on two tv's?

    Landlord forcing us to remove dishes from patio/balcony

    If you don't own the property, you will have to remove the. I sympathize with you, however, understand that the landlord may have other reasons than making your life difficult. If every tenant put up a dish, the building would not look very nice. I've seen apartment buildings that looked...

    Where can I buy a new or good used 622?

    I just got an e-mail from Dish Network saying current customers can get the VIP622 for free. You will still have to upgrade your dish if you don't have a 1000.2 or 1000.4. Dish said if a new dish was needed, it would be $50 for installation. Leased equipment is the way to go. Why buy if it...

    DPP44 Trouble Shooting Help

    I ordered a new DPP44 switch and the problem is now resolved. Will the use of the diplexers that are not 2 amp rated make the DPP44 switch go bad or will I just eventually see a failure in the diplexers?

    There is no amp rating on the diplexer. They are Holland STVC "Built for high performance for satellite TV applications ". I assume they meet the standards. I purchased them from an authorized DIsh Dealer.

    DPP44 Trouble Shooting Help

    I should have been more specific. The problem is present on all receivers but is intermittant. I've called non-tech support a few times now hoping to get someone who speaks english or at least has a clue. At this point, I know more than they do and I don;t know much.
