    NHL CI.. Hmm I'll pass, compliments of last year's lockout. I wonder they expect us to pay full price for it now?

    Vip 722 Internal Hard Drive Replacement?

    I just wanted to confirm that still to this date, no one has been able to successfully install a greater than 500GB internal HDD in the 722 (or equivalent)? Thanks

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    Thanks folks! You guys have answered all of my questions. Much appreciated. :) At this point, I figure cascading 2 DP34's from a DP Twin would be the most cost effective for powering multiple Single-Tuners.

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    While yes, I agree with your suggestions. I prefer the DP34 over the DPP33 because I plan to feed single tuners only. The DP34 would theoretically allow 4 single tuners over the 3 single-tuners that a DPP33 would allow. But like you mentioned it sounds like mixing DPP lnb's with DP switches is a...

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    Okay that all makes sense. So it's decided that the DPP separator can't feed two Single-Tuners independently. Now has anyone attempted a DP34 switch with a DPP Twin or Quad? I'm guessing someone has at some point! Thanks for all contributions and thoughts added to this thread :)

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    So it sounds like 8 Single-Tuners fed directly from a DPP Quad and 4 DPP Separators does not work? Has anyone directly attempted this? What do you think of 6 Single-Tuners fed from a DPP Quad (outputting 2 of the 4 DPP Quad feeds) and a DP34 (using 2 of the 4 DPP Quad feeds, outputting an...

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    I'm referring to the DPP Quad, as demonstrated in the image below (Bell TV in Canada uses the same equipment). The DPP Quad does exist. Now the image below shows only the Dual-Tuners using the separators. I'm wondering if two Single-Tuners can replace each of those Dual-Tuners in the image...

    DPP Quad + DPP Separators

    Just thinking out loud here, but is it possible to: connect 8 Single-Tuner receivers on only 110 & 119, using just a DPP Quad and 4 DPP separators? I was unsure whether you can use one DPP separator for every 2 Single Tuner receivers. (I only see the DPP separator mentioned for the...

    EPG Remaps

    Thanks for the clarification Gary. Thought it would be cool, but guess I'm not missing out on much. And YES my eyes are traumatized when watching One World Sports (ch. 9794)...looks like a VGA technology. haha

    EPG Remaps

    Hi, I was looking at the TheList! and noticed Dish remaps the internationals along the 600-624 channels. I don't get my English Int'l channels remapped to 600 on my 722. I was wondering if others have their ethnic packages remapped. This question extends to other remaps such as 98-99 from the...

    922 remote control vs 722

    Will a 32.0 remote work with a 722k? And in your opinions, is it worth an extra $5 over the 21.0 remote? From the numerous threads I only see complaints of the 32.0. What are the significant advantages/disadvantages between these two remotes? Thanks for any help.

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    119 did the trick! Thank-you for all the replies. Re-aimed to 119 and the software downloaded and installed immediately within 10 minutes! Wouldn't have tried that if it wasn't for my fellow Satelliteguys! Thanks again!

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    Tried both with DPP44 + Separator and direct double feed with no switch/separator. Signal is the same either way, both times passing the check switch. Lyngsat is telling me 72.7 actually has the activation and eepg feeds on tp 21, and 61.5 just has epg feeds. I will try 110 & 129 tomorrow as...

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    I wish you or I could verify that somehow. Dish support lady told me 72.7 @ TP 21 should do the job. Do you know which TP at 110 or 61.5 should do it?

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    Software Fails to Download: 722k on 72.7

    Hey gang, Been having a rough time with my brand new/still unactivated 722k. Have a solid signal on 72.7 on both tuners and have been unsuccessful in getting it to accept a software download, so I can go ahead and have this thing ready for activation. I first get it to do a check switch, and...

    DPP44 Help: Custom Setup

    Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply.:) I assume the first 3 ports allow you to hook up the remaining satellites (other than 118) in any order to any other satellites. Cool!

    DPP44 Help: Custom Setup

    Ok, I'm wondering which input sat ports I should connect the following 3 satellites to on a DPP44 switch: 72.7, 129, & 118.7. The DPP44 says it recommends 118.7 be connected to sat 4 input; so should I leave sat 3 input empty? Do DPP44's work with only 3 sats connected? I know this isn't...

    Device Code for Sony Projector??

    Has anyone been able to control their projectors using the Dish Remotes? I am trying to control my Sony VPLAW-10 hd projector using the 5.3 IR remote..with no luck. I tried a device scan, also tried using the Sony TV codes, and even called tech support who "coincidentally" hung up on me when she...

    Wireless Bridge to Wireless Router

    There is an internet cafe down the street from me offering totally free WiFi. I get the best signal on my 2nd floor, and a descent/still usable signal on my ground floor, but the signal in the basement is terrible. So here's the plan: if I install a "Wireless Bridge" (converts WiFi to ethernet...

    Blown Power Supply on 722

    So replacing the HDD should do the trick? Are compatible internal HDDs hard to find for the 722? Can i get a bigger one than what I had? Thx for the replies guys, keep em coming.

    Blown Power Supply on 722

    Thx for the reply. If it was the hard-drive, then wouldn't the 722 at least be able to turn on and say error with hard-drive. I get no power at all on this 722 now. I can maybe hear the slightest ticking sound inside the receiver when it is plugged in. If i call Dish they won't replace it...

    Blown Power Supply on 722

    I had a 722 that slowly died, first making loud squealing noises, then refused to live another day and killed itself and won't turn on again. My bet is that the power supply blew out, and simply needs to be replaced. Does that sound right? Is it costly to take to an electronics guy to get fixed...

    Legacy LNB for 722/129?

    EKB: ViP722 Software History On there it says that "check switch" changes were made, as per Dish sources. That sounds promising..so has anyone tested if a legacy 129 signal works on 622/722s yet??
