    Boot 722 with no satellite signal

    Just as a follow up --- It works just fine. No line connected from the dish connected to the 508 (just power and video/audio out) and I am able to access all of the previously recorded programs.

    Not getting 129 with 1000.2 dish.

    Friend you stated "Also If I standing behind the dish 129 will on the left side correct?" If you are standing behind the dish facing the LNBs, 129 will be to the right. I have the same situation Signal on 110 & 119 but some tree branches are blocking 129

    Best way of upgrading?

    Just wanted to let folks know that I signed up for the upgrade last night and I think I got a pretty good deal. They are upgrading me to a 722 DVR for free. They waived the DVR and Receiver Lease fees for the term of the contract (24 months) and are giving me a $15 per month credit for the...

    Best way of upgrading?

    I am about to pull the trigger and upgrade from my Dish 500 / 508 DVR to a HD set-up. I haven't been on a contract for over a year. Even when we upgraded to the 508 DVR (years ago), I didn't get an upgrade from Dish -- I went out and bought the 508 myself. So I have been a DISH customer...

    Number of coax cables

    Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I am good with the single run of RG-6 for now. Right now we only plan on the one receiver/DVR (probably a 722 to replace the current 508). I had looked at a picture of the back panel of a 722 and it has 2 satellite inputs. My issue is that the cable/conduit...

    Which Birds?

    I am thinking about upgrading to HD from Dish (currently a SD Dish customer). I know that for the SD service for North Idaho (Spokane, WA local channels) I receive signals from 110 and 119 satelites. If I want to upgrade to HD, I have been told that I will need another dish for an additional...
