    Can you force VOD quality level on 722?

    I have had this particular 722 for a few years now and never had any problems. Recently though, I've had issues with the VOD streaming jumping back and forth between the best (HD) and second-best quality levels. It's really just more annoying than anything as the audio continues, but you get...

    Dish'n It Up vs New Customer

    I'm trying to come up with a way for my mother to take advantage of the Free HD For Life offer. My problem is that right now she only has an SD Duo DVR receiver. She's been a customer for a few years now (well out of her initial agreement) so I thought they might be willing to do a free...

    Where can I see which HD Locals will be coming online this week?

    Is there a schedule somewhere? I'm specifically looking for Tupelo/Columbus MS which was first scheduled back in April (I think it was?) - but last report I heard was July 1st? Thanks-

    SlingGuide Beta- VIP612

    I'm guessing something has changed since this thread - but just as FYI for anyone else searching through the forums... I just successfully added all 3 of my receivers on dish.sling.com. I have one ViP722 and two ViP612's. (So the ViP612's will in fact work). All of mine seem to work great.

    Can you move a recorded program from one recvr to another using external drive?

    I have 2 ViP612's and 1 ViP722. If I record a program on one of them and move it to an external drive - can I then physicall move the external drive to one of the other receivers, plug it in, and watch the program on it? (I haven't paid to activate the external drive on any of the receivers...

    Is ViP722 HDMI Audio only 2 channel?

    I could have sworn I'd read something about this on here, but I've searched every way I can think of and I can't find anything. Is it a known problem that the ViP722 only outputs 2 channel audio over the HDMI cable? If I use the optic output I get 5.1 - but the audio coming via HDMI seems to...

    Strange Question: Swapping Remotes 612 & 722

    Ah ok, starting to make sense now. I dont have the Green chip with the black #1 on it. I guess that's something I have to order? I saw a couple of posts mention a "paperclip" trick and manually switching - but I've yet to find details on exactly how to do it. I'll keep looking. thanks for...

    Strange Question: Swapping Remotes 612 & 722

    How do I change TV1 to use UHF Pro instead of IR? I've looked through the manual and menu options? Am I just missing it? I can control the 722 with the IR/UHF remote - but it thinks I'm on TV2 (because TV2 is the one set to UHF Pro). If I flip the chip in the remote I can control TV1 (but...

    Strange Question: Swapping Remotes 612 & 722

    OK, this is a strange question, but here goes... I have a ViP612 in a bedroom (no TV2 out) that has one 6.3 IR/UHF Pro remote. I have a ViP722 in the living room (has TV2 out) and for Remote #1 it has a 5.3 IR and Remote #2 is a 6.3 IR/UHF Pro. What I'd like to do is use the IR/UHF remote...

    FWIW- The problem has resolved itself. It was bad for about 2-ish weeks and now everything is back to normal. If I had to bet, I'd put my money on the affiliate.. but that's just a guess.. thanks guys-

    612 Problem

    I have 2 ViP612's and one of them exhibits the 30-second freeze you mentioned when you start watching a time-delayed show. Mine will actually do it the first time I start watching for the night - just about every time. It's almost like a hard-drive caching problem or something.. That first...

    NBC OTA HD skips/jitters when NOT viewed Live (vip612 & vip722)

    I have two ViP612's and one ViP722 and they've all recently started experiencing this problem. It's my local HD OTA NBC channel and I've never had any problems with it before. About a week or so ago I started noticing that if I was watching a show recorded or pause-delayed - the audio and...

    OTA HD audio stutter when ran through VIP612 - but no problem if straight to TV

    HOLY CRAP, you nailed it! I had never even bothered trying to pause and restart the channel because of the stutter problem. I just tried it and as soon as i paused it for a sec and then started it back playing - BAM! - stutter was GONE! FWIW, I also have a VIP722 and the same channel has...

    Can I merge OTA HD signal into Dish 1000 system coax?

    FWIW, I did have success with this method - but the OTA signal degradation hit was just too much. Maybe if I'd implemented some boosters or all my channels were near 100% it'd have been alright. But unfortunately I took about a 20% hit (knocking some channels out completely) from all the...

    OTA HD audio stutter when ran through VIP612 - but no problem if straight to TV

    I have two VIP612's that exhibit a strange audio stutter with *1* particular OTA HD channel (CBS) when the signal is fed through the VIP612 instead of directly into the TV. It is not an intermittent problem - the audio stutters 100% of the time. I originally thought it was a station problem...

    Can I merge OTA HD signal into Dish 1000 system coax?

    I have a Dish 1000 setup with a VIP722 (w/ TV2 going out to another room) + two VIP612's. It's all rg6 throughout, but with each receiver drop already being split once already for the DVR functionality, would an additional split be too much signal degradation? Would it even work at all with...
