    WOW!! 15 yrs later...Me and Dish!!

    Also started with the model 3000. Purchased from Sears. Installed myself on the roof using the RCA chimney mount kit. Still up there but swung over to 61.5 now. Threw away 4 or 5 old receivers long ago but kept the JVC D-VHS combo recvr-vcr. Now using 3 722s and 1 622.

    Would bigger be better?

    Must be an older receiver using the "old" signal strength meter. I get readings similar to that with my 4900.

    722 Not recognizing 3 EHDs

    Had no interest in a 922 until I read your post. Hmmmmmmm. I wonder if anyone sells a 12 port hub? :rolleyes:

    External hard drive communication problem

    I have a WD 2 TB "Elements" EHD with about 320 recordings so far, and have yet to have any problems with it.

    How long since the 4000/5000 receivers were king?

    Anyone remember or ever have the D-VHS model? Mine was the JVC brand. Paid $750.00. Was supposed to be upgradeable to handle HD, according to a full color page ad in Video magazine which prompted my purchase. Never happened though. Still have the receiver(not connected) and the copy of Video...

    Cancel the service call ?

    Did have very heavy rains recently. Connections are from loop going up. But will check just in case. :)

    angle chart 1000.4

    Go to Dish web site and download the instructions for the 1000.4. I don't have the 1000.4 but I did download the manual just to have a look. Zip chart towards the back.

    Cancel the service call ?

    Something must be up with the receivers. Last two days got a notice that I've never seen before. "Complete Signal Loss" was the heading. Or it may have been "Total Signal Loss". Should have paid closer attention. Sky was totally clear yesterday. No problems with my 4900 connected to the same...

    Sony Movie Channel on 386

    I did the same last year with Starz. TMC used to gook great. Early this year they added "the bug". So I also canceled the Showtime pack. Would love to get rid of MGMHD and save a few pennies but it's forced on us.

    Installer Trick

    I use the same setup but with the 3LNB adapter (holder) using the center location. No good at fabricating. Aimed at 61.5. Using a 24" single lnb dish for 72.7. Then I run both outputs from each LNB to two DPP33s giving me the option to run up to six receivers. SS 15-20% higher.

    Sony Movie Channel

    I hear you. But it still bugs me. Worse is cutting into movies BEFORE they're over for "up next" banner. As for OAR, they can't touch HDNM. One recent film on Retroplex actually switched back and forth between center cut & full 16X9 during the showing. Checked my recording of the same movie...

    Sony Movie Channel

    Don't even compare HDNet Movies with the worthless Encore or "Plexes". HD Net Movies does not have an intrusive ch logo nor do they add a "coming up next" banner before the end of the movie!

    Alright, alright. I wasn't counting the 1 maxtor in the closet.

    3 LNB --> 2 coax?

    Your OP states you have 3 LNBs but your last post states a twin LNB with input exists. Sounds like you have a DPP twin and a DP single connected to the twin. The DPP twin cannot be used with a DPP33 switch. If this is your setup, here are a couple of options. Replace the DPP twin with a DP twin...

    Extra hardrive

    Have 11 Western Digital HDs. Never had a problem with any of them. The last one purchased was a WD My Book Essentials 2 TB. Working fine.

    New Cables Won't Work

    Don't know if I quite got what you're trying to do. But here goes. You want to connect from a different wall jack to the 722. Does that wall jack have a hot cable inside the wall? When was the cable fished? It's possible that cable does not meet dish's specs. Or even connected. A long time ago...

    HDNET Movie Picture size?

    HDNMV does the best job of preserving the original aspect ratio of the films they broadcast. Currently showing; "Disclosure", has the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen because the film was originally shot in a format greater than 16X9. Earlier in the day the film "Harvey" had the...

    612 receiver..User 2 .. ???

    Reverse the short wires from separator to tuner. If same tuner still no signal maybe bad tuner in box. If opposite tuner shows no signal could be bad separator or short wire from separator. You may also want to try connecting the dish directly to tuner 2 bypassing the separator to see if you...

    Going from two 722's to one 722 and two 612's

    From what I've read, the 612 runs into problems if you try to do too much at once with it. Like recording 2 shows while trying to watch from the HD. Some owners claim it's fine if using just to watch live tv or off the HD and nothing else at the same time. Been thinking of getting one myself...
