    adding a joey, how will this thing work?

    dish installer installed the dish and is coming back to do the joey. I see now what the "node" is...thats in the basement on my electrical panel. So now it makes sense. My coax is run to the new room from that panel, so he will just hook that up to get the joey working I guess

    adding a joey, how will this thing work?

    would a wireless joey potentially be better than coax? I have coax run to the room, but its run from the basement, I just wasnt sure if it somehow needed to be run from the hopper. If the signal comes in from the dish, splits in the basement to the hopper and the joey, and then wireless or...

    adding a joey, how will this thing work?

    can someone explain to me how the joey works from a home wiring standpoint? Online and on phone technicians have been less than enlightening. I have just ordered my first joey which I will add to my hopper (I believe its the original hopper) and I dont know if they expect the room will have...

    swappign HDs in 622

    So my 622 just crapped out. Turned off the other night while i was watching a show, then the fan came on really loud for like 5 minutes, then it went silent for 5 minutes (lights off) and then 5 minutes later (all estimates) it came back on and acquired signal and worked for about 10 minutes...

    replacement 622 goes black?

    so my first 622 was dead after 24 hours, just shipped it back today. It wouldnt even turn on. Now my replacement unit has gone black a few times. I dont know if it is based on what i am watching at the time but it has always happened while watching NESN HD. Usually it is for a half second or...

    new to my 622 - quick questions

    So tonight I was taping one show in SD on tuner 2, and watching NESN HD on tuner 1 when a timer kicked off to tape "the office" which is on NBC and thusly not available in HD (weaaak). What I was confused about was that it interrupted my HD NESN programming to tape "theoffice" in SD on tuner 1...

    new to my 622 - quick questions

    got my new HD DVR the other day learning my way around it a little but I have a quick question I have the main composite output (no HDMI) to my main (HD)TV. The second output (RCAs) goes to a wireless video transmitter I have that sends signal to a few receivers I have around the house...

    outdoor antenna selection?

    yea. that wouldnt really work in my condo complex. I did a lot of looking around online and people had a lot of great things to say about the DB2 from antennadirect so I went ahead and got one. I dont get it, doesnt seem much less directional than my old terk and I still dont get FOX - how...

    D* now has NESN HD, FSN-NY HD and MSG-HD

    still no NESN HD? tick tock tick tock. I was going to directv last fall but I stuck around with crappy dish network and decided to pay their absurd prices if they got NESNHD by opening day just so I dont have to deal with taking a dish off the roof and putting another one on....looks like...

    Dish DVR Vs. Cox DVR Vs. TiVo?

    im about 5 months late with this but here I am looking at moving to an HD DVR setup again and I noticed your post. What OTA antenna re you using? I have been using a terk indoor antenna for several years and it is VERY tempermental. Like I have to lean it up and out a window at a very...

    problems with recent DVR update?

    maybe a couple months ago now I either rebooted my DVR because it crashed, or I just turned it on and it spent a long time downloading some major update from dishnetwork. ever since then virtually every aspect of the DVR has been noticably worse. Is there any way to roll back to the previous...

    Going price for a 622

    yea...theres like 19 more 'new' channels. I mentioned this in another thread: Its great that DN has its own lineup of HD channels but it seems silly to get HD service and then watch these 19 networks you have never heard of before....basically changing what programs you watch so that...

    Dish DVR Vs. Cox DVR Vs. TiVo?

    what is E*? I see that referenced all over on here...im assuming it refers to dish network? DN might have the largest quantity of HD channels but that doesnt mean its the best offering IMO. I, and im sure thousands of others fall into this category, already have a lineup of shows that I enjoy...

    Dish DVR Vs. Cox DVR Vs. TiVo?

    I am near Hartford CT. I can get their HD programming but its a pretty weak lineup IMO without locals in HD. Also they dont broadcast NESN (red sox network) in HD. So that means I cant watch my sox, or any football in HD except for the occasional, off hours, obscure, weak matchup game on...

    Dish DVR Vs. Cox DVR Vs. TiVo?

    Im not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but I will give it a shot. I think im going to be leaving dish because their HD offering apparently sucks in my area....Dish is the only TV service I have had (lived outin the boonies and went from 2 channels on a crappy antenna...

    Going price for a 622

    bah, nevermind. just got off the phone with dish network...couldnt be more disappointed. They dont offer any of my locals in HD, or NESN in HD, and they want to tag on another 5 dollar monthly fee since i dont have a phone line to connect the unit to. so its 80 bucks per month for espn espn2...

    Going price for a 622

    thanks for the info about the national geographic channel! Does the 622 only do HDTV over HDMI?
