    Playstation 3 interference with Dish remote

    Sounds like you've got inter-domestic, electro-magnetic flux interference. If you've got a length of coax and an F-connector, you could try extending the UHF remote antenna (on the back of the 722) closer to TV2. Or call the ghostbusters.

    no line of sight - dish network

    130 of cable trenching is definitely not part of a standard install. He should have given you at least a price on that custom work though.

    Yeah, totally a rats nest... a rats nest of AWESOMENESS.

    Fuzzy picture on backfed tv

    Well now, that's what I call progress! :p You could try an auto search on TV2 after setting it to 21. The reason I say 21 is because the lower the channel number, the lower the frequency that carries the signal. Typically, lower frequencies are less affected by inferior quality cables. You...

    what dish is this

    It is indeed the D500 Plus. The 118.7 is mostly used for international programming, and the 110 and 119 will pull in most standard definition programming, and Latino channels. The 500 Plus also should have an extra bracket that allows for the addition of a fourth LNB for 129. You need an...

    Fuzzy picture on backfed tv

    Go to TV1, and bring up the modulator menu by hitting MENU, 6, 1, 5. Then change the modulated output to TV2 to channel 21 AIR. Then try it.

    Connection options for 2 dual tuner DISH receivers on 4 TVs

    You can accomplish the same effect of the diagram, but not the same way. Since you are using Dish Pro Plus Technology, you'll only need one cable going to each location. I suppose, if there are already two cables going to each RECEIVER, you could simplify things, but the way I'd do it is with...

    New Eastern Arc install problems

    They probably took your complaints about signal strength too seriously, and figured that actually might be the problem. With 50's on the eastern arc, it's not. Probably bad boxes, or a bad LNB, or bad lines, or bad diplexors. They'll probably replace your whole entire system, down to the flex...

    Another Awsome Screwup

    I don't get it... I'm 100% with Quantum (except for the 'Freemason' part). What is the problem here? The guy is getting screwed over... Also, if I were in your situation Quantum, I would not say "They GOT me." You end the fight. Only you. Now granted, you may not have the intestinal...

    Eastern Arc Standard Definition

    OK. We're in a market where Eastern Arc is only offered to new customers. I've got a customer who wants four standard definition TVs hooked up, with no DVR functions. I figured two 322s, but they do NOT have line of sight for 110 and 119. They want Dish Network bad enough to upgrade to HD...

    Flimflam outfit

    I take it JAG is some kind of television show. No, I've never seen an episode. I'm not certain of the track record of "meeting of the minds" arguments, you could be right. Are you suggesting my post depends on those arguments? I certainly agree with the evaluation given in Blacks Law...

    Flimflam outfit

    "Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment." The OP may or may not have a case against Dish Network. It is totally irrelevant what MOST Dish Network customers sign. In case you are not aware, there are many instances where the customer is NEVER presented with a written...

    Standard Definition OTA Tuners in DishNet Recievers

    Unless of course you've got a super cheap customer who wants to nickle and dime his monthly bill to the lowest possible levels (i.e. he doesn't want to pay for locals)... I know there is an input port for OTA on the SD recivers (322, 311, 625, etc), but I think it's just like an analog pass...

    Standard Definition OTA Tuners in DishNet Recievers

    Hey, newbie question here. Do the Dishnetwork standard definition recievers (322, 311, 625, etc) have OTA inputs that will accept new digital waves coming out this February? Thanks.

    Why DISH Is Doing So Poorly (Rant Inside)

    I've never met a person who has a SSN. Every SS Card I've ever seen explicitly reserves the ownership of the card and the number to the SS Administration. It's not your card, it's not your number. Unless of course, your acting as an agent for the Social Security Administration. Then, as an...

    Controlling TV1 from Another Room

    All this talk is for the 622/722, and that's just fine. I know it works for the 222 as well from experience. Does anyone know if these strategies will work for a 625 and a 322?

    Building your own battery for a Satellite Meter

    It just so happens that I have an 18v rechargeable lithium ion battery already! It's for my drill... could I just wire my drill battery somehow? That would be sweeeeet.

    DPP 33 switch passing power?

    So, if I just hook the receiver to a DPP33 switch that has no satellites attached, then run a check switch on that receiver, it should see that it's a DiSEqC switch and send power through it? Even though it sees no orbital locations?

    Building your own battery for a Satellite Meter

    Is it possible to construct your own battery to power any satellite meter? I'm assuming they take some low voltage DC source... Many meters have batteries built in that provide the same power that the receiver does. Could you just group together the right combination of rechargeable lithium...

    DPP 33 switch passing power?

    Does the DPP33 switch pass power? I hooked up three receivers to it (211k, 211k, 612), hopped up on the roof, only to find that none of the three lines from the DPP33 were passing power! I had to go back down, bypass the switch, then go back up... (I know, I know, I could just pony up for a...
