    Interesting problem installing dish500

    dish legacy is supposed to be up to cable runs of 100 feet and dish pro up to 200. i'm sure many have much longer runs but it can be an issue as you stated yours was approx 110 with your dish legacy twin lnbf. double check your connections for tightness. make sure the center lead does not...

    522/2- 301s and replay dvr possible configs

    not exactly sure but think the replay can only record one thing at a time. It does have like 3 different inputs so it can control /record from both the 301s (use a double headed ir blaster and use different remote codes for the boxes) but only one of the inputs is svideo the other is rca jack...

    Coming back to dish. Some questions.

    you will need dish to send you out a new yellow sub card for the 6000 to work with HD now, it fdoes have the 8psk module installed right? and you can add the 8vsb if you can receive locals OTA. Look on ebay and get a 501 or 508 they do not have added dish dvr fees. or lease a 522 two tuner...

    Replacing hard disk in 721

    seen other reports that a larger HD will not work in the 721, sorry guys. Think the limit is built into the flash on the motherboard. Any 120gb HD will work as replacement in the 721. But not just a straight install a new HD and reboot. It must be prepared as Faw did by loading a 721 dishlinux...

    Need Dish installation help

    the 119 carries most of the programming for your package and that is why you are missing those channels if you are only gettin ght e 110 for now. the sw21 is used to connect two seperate lnb into one cable to run to one receiver. SO your dish 500 should have two seperate lnb connected to the Y...

    Qual LND for Dish 500

    Barry, the quad you have should work fine IF you put it with a dish 500, it sounds like you have it installed on a dish 300 that is why you are only picking up the 119 sat channels. The dish 500 is the dish setup itself NOT the lnb's on the end of the arm, ok The Dish 500 is the dish that...

    Dish 500 receiver using only one SW21

    the sw21 is a combiner not a splitter. one sw21 will combine two sat inputs from two seperate lnbs into one cable going to one receiver.

    721 Locking Up / Crashing

    having the HD 2/3 full should not be any problem. The main probelm is with heat. the heat from the pvr units makes the HD less relaible and also causes some issues with the tuners like in the 501. Make sure it has good ventialtion/circulataion as possible. Especially the 721 cause the fan vent...

    501 lost signal on 119 & 110

    although it may be a software glitch or bug in the p221, P222, P223 releases, there is a known hardware defect with the 501 and the conexant tuner it uses. might try a google search and see what you come up with. May help all the 5xx series to make sure it has plenty of good air...

    Aiming dish for Dishnetwork HD package.

    the direct tv dish would work but only for one dish sat, so you need the dish 500 to pick up both 110 and 119. the 119 carries most regular sub channels and 110 carries a few others and lots of ppv. Think they have most hd mirrored on the 110 now. if they give you the cbs hd may need a second...
