Also highly depends on the UPLOAD speed at the main location. It's probably more common to have a slow UPLOAD speed than a slow download speed.

This sounds to me like it's less to do with the splitter and more to do with how quickly each TV processes the signal and displays it. You could send the same signal to 5 TVs and they may all display it at a slightly different speed. Some TVs have a "game" mode which is meant to cut out some...

I would like pricing info on upgrading from a 722 to a single Hopper system (no Joey, to keep costs down). Will use HDMI to duplicate signal to multiple rooms instead of Joey.

My 722 does this only if someone was watching TV at the time of the daily update/reboot, and chooses to CANCEL. Then I find the next day the programming schedule is screwy and recordings won't work. Like you said, only fix I could find was to do a Check Switch which will force the update...

I wonder if the original poster would be able to convince the installer to install everything in the same room initially. That would allow them to make sure all the equipment works AND get activated. Then it's just a matter of the owner moving things into the correct rooms and making sure the...

I had something similar happen the other day for the 1st time, but in my case it was because I connected my laptop to the wall outlet where the TV was. Went away when I removed my laptop. In my case, must either be dirty power or a bad ground (those outlets are still just 2-prong, so I had a...

Although I normally agree that the TV's internal upconversion should be just as good (or better) than another device, I have found one TV in my house does a horrible job of it. It's a non-Aquos Sharp from a few years ago, LC42SB45U, and the 1080i image on HD channels is not good. Have tried...

If only you could find someone who lives in Chicago with Dish to compare the OTA feed with Dish. I think the person with Comcast and Dish was a great example to help prove it's the station's feed, but OTA and Dish would be another good set of evidence to convince the station something is wrong.

Would it be possible for him to see it live if someone offers up their Slingbox info, or would that also be blocked based on IP address? Sorry, I'm not offering, but was just curious if that would work for him. Otherwise, on MLB.com, there's a link to MLB.tv which offers up all the post-season...

I did this last night. The confirmation showed my start and end date for free HBO and Cinemax...exactly 3 months. So yes, you will more or less lose that 4th month you would have still had by sticking with Stars. BUT...you have until late October to decide if you want to take the deal, so you...

I didn't get in home in time to look for it on Dish, so had to watch it online via the local news site. For some reason I couldn't get audio with the feed, so I turned on the radio for audio. There was a 7-8 second delay to the radio audio, so tough to watch, but better than nothing. Thanks...

Yes, normal baseball games on FSN WI have the pre-game for about 30 minutes and they usually stick with the channel for a good 30 minutes AFTER the game. I have Dish America Silver, so the RSN channels are included. Ice is exactly right about which games I can/cannot see related to WI/MN on...

Thanks Iceberg for the replies. I also posted a similar question on the Milwaukee Journal website, so maybe the local sports writer will have a contact to ask. If I get an answer, I'll definitely post it back here as well...there must be others out there like me with Dish wanting to see this...

Hopefully one of the DIRT members has the inside scoop to see if Dish will be turning on Fox Sports WI for the Milwaukee Brewers playoff rally tonight from 5-6pm Central. All the advertising around Milwaukee says it's being carried on the radio and Fox Sports WI, but since Dish doesn't carry...

Just curious if anyone knows if we should expect the truTV channel to be added to Dish packages for the NCAA games starting Thurs. I have the Dish America Silver package (old TurboHD package), and I checked last night to verify we do not get truTV in SD or HD. Looks like I'd need to be on the...

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but it can't hurt to check. I had to reboot my 722 a few times early in its life for weird playback issues, and turned out it was heat related. Moved it out of my entertainment center and into the open air, and has been fine ever since. If you check the...

This happened to me when our local CBS channel finally went HD on Dish a few weeks ago. My Monday night timers were still pointing to the OLD SD version of the channel, which looks to me like it is now completely gone. Therefore I missed the Monday shows. Once I figured this out, I deleted...

It's finally here! Last night I went to watch Craig Ferguson's show, and couldn't find 58 in my channel guide. I went to edit the channels, and found the HD version was now the only one available and I had to enable it to show in the guide. I'm glad it's finally here - now I can PiP 2 HD games...

Actually, the station manager has told us on a Milwaukee area message board that HE can't even get Dish to return his messages on when they may go live in HD on Dish. So it's really anyone's guess at this point. I knew that when I first started this thread. I was mostly interested in finding...

My 2 year contract ended in September. Did an online chat, they offered 3 PPV coupons. I mentioned I may need to look into spending my television dollars elsewhere, so she transferred me to retention. Retention offered me $5 off per month for a year, which I took. So I agree, for anyone no...

Dish called over the weekend and said they needed to "upgrade" my equipment to move me to different satellites. I'm in Waukesha, WI. My original setup was a Dish 500 dual LNB to pick up 110 & 119, and then a wing Dish 500 with a single LNB to pick up 61.5. Before the tech showed up, my online...

+1. I did the exact same thing with the same monoprice switch. Love it!

I'm sorry to start a new topic for something that will only pertain to the people in southeastern Wisconsin, but I was not sure if there was a better place to ask the question. In Milwaukee, CBS58 (WDJT) has held out on providing their HD signal to Dish. Originally they only provided it to...

I was able to do exactly what you're trying to do with just a cheap combiner I had laying around. I have Roadrunner only, and still get the unencrypted QAM channels to all 4 TVs in my house. In the bedroom I connected the TV2 output from Dish and combined it to the TWC cable, then scanned for...

I love using PIP for sports, but one thing that has always bothered me is all the locations on the screen they give for the PIP on the 722 are in the 4x3 protected area. It would be great to have the option of putting the PIP in one of the far corners, or just moving it where ever we want it...
