    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

    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...

    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...

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.

    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...

    My ViP722 Just Went Suicidal

    So I began to hear a high pitched intermittent squeal coming from my 722 after about an hour of watching tv (it is well ventilated, fan always runs very quiet, has never give me any other problems before, etc etc). As I poked my head around it, it seemed to either come from the HDD or the Power...

    Legacy Linear LNB's for 118?

    Hey Satellite Guys, I had a quick question about using the linear 118 satellite frequency with the 72 and 129 circular frequencies. I am using all legacy equipment on 72 and 129, and need a linear lnb for 118 that acts legacy, so it is compatible with my sw-31 switch (a combined sw-21 and...

    Dish Locals

    Was wondering what FOX/NBC/CBS/ABC channels come with one of Dish's AT packages. From my understanding NO distant locals are offered. And so if I choose not to add my city's own locals, i would be getting no FOX/NBC/CBS/ABC at all? Also how are the Superstations sold? Do they come bundled...
