I noticed the same thing even on the CD channels. Works for a short bit then goes back to really choppy again. Sat signal is fine and all other channels are spotless. Just the CD and Sirius music channels exhibiting this.

Yeah. This kind of stuff is REAL fun. I used to take personal pride in tracking this stuff back when I was on cable and it pretty much works out similarly to Dish's setup. Channels duplicated all over the place but realistically mapping to the same QAM in the background. Realistically...

Right now I'd just be happy with a box that has a decent interface and isn't a unitasker. That's the whole reason I have been enticed in setting up a W7MC based HTPC because everything I want and need is right there under the hood with one of the most sought after features being a DVR with...

Highly doubtful. I've been waiting years myself to see something produced from either DirecTV or Dish but both have really dropped the ball on this game. The only real option you have is either a couple HD-PVR boxes (add in the requirement for a few HD capable Dish boxes and the fees they come...

So hopefully someone can help me out here. What is a relatively safe and foolproof procedure for peaking my dish myself? When we first got service back in December everything was good but over the months has slowly worsened to where light to moderate rainstorms create issues and the signal...

Well the most enticing part for me is the multi-room feature and the UPNP access the boxes have to the stored media on your PC's. I am a techie so this is big for me. But not enough for me to switch unless their prices come down.

Really odd. From reading all the posts here you'd think it would be a pain in the rear to get anything done with your Dish service if you are a bundled customer. In my own experience this has not ever been the case. In fact I am bundled through Centurylink/ex-Embarq. So far they have just...

Hell, we don't even get it in widescreen around here. Just plain jane 4:3 480i. Ran as a subchannel on our local NBC affiliate (WFMJ) since the station is run and owned by them as a sister station. I have suggested on another forum that the engineer for said station visits to cram both...

Curious if there is any word on if any known update is coming down the pipe for my existing, easily reproducable, and utterly annoying bug? VIP222k here. TV1 fed via composite to an SD 4:3 set, TV2 over RF to another SD 4:3 set. No matter what, if a channel is changed on TV2 the aspect format...

Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for! :D

Unfortunately our market doesn't have CW in HD. And I doubt Dish would be sympathetic enough to give us Cleveland's CW stations or a national feed instead. Not that lucky. ;)

Simple question that I have, unfortunately, been unable to answer on my own with searches or the Dish manuals. When we first got our system installed the installer set up the 21.0 UHF remotes on the TV2 sets to automatically tune them to the right channel upon pressing the Sat button. But...

The only downside I am aware of with the OTA module is it is fairly sensitive to multipath interference. Though it will take a lot of it to cause problems in my experience. As far as overall signal sensitivity it is fairly good and comparable to a lot of tuners I have had the luxury of playing...

Kinda belate: Multiroom is unlikely. My best educated guess is they are just adding the option to use WiFi instead of ethernet on these boxes for VoD and remote programming. More profitable for them cashing in on pricey Wifi usb adapters that their boxes are locked to than people going out and...

No prob. :) For future reference if you know you want to watch a specific movie in both places you can order it over the phone or online as PPV (will cost slightly more than ordering on the box) and all boxes on your account will have access to it. Although, being PPV, this has time restraints...

VOD on Dish requires a DVR box to watch. non-DVR's can only watch scheduled PPV programming. So the 222k can only watch PPV programming while the 722 can do either that or VOD.

I would also guess it is a CMT issue. FWIW while it makes sense to offer Dolby sound on music focused networks, most of them do not. This is the same mess with Palladia which has been discussed many times on this forum. Just wait for the next CMA or ACM awards, they are usually faithfully...

I thought I remember reading in plenty of threads here and in other forums that it was pretty much an account-wide thing and the EHD(s) could be swapped between receivers?

@fkent484: Actually, yeah. Was down to like ~4 hours HD time left that I recalled. Bummer. Not even just playback sans any dvr functionality? Kinda blows if that's the case. We currently have the 722k on the 2 primary record/playback tv's in the house and then a 222k in my bedroom on the...

Curious about this. I just saw a message out of nowhere on my 722k in 'standby' mode that I have not ever seen before since I've had it which basically said if I wanted extra recording space to use a USB 2.0 hard drive and call Dish to activate it. Said nothing about any fees or anything and...

Yeah. Forgot to post back this morning before I went to bed. 119 was still working as some channels on it were still there which is weird. Tried rebooting the box a few times with no luck until about 4AM-ish when it decided to start working again.

Just wondering if this is a system-wide glitch or just me. Got my 222k here which just rebooted at its usual time of 3AM. Went through and got to the check switch screen. Stuck on 5 of 5 and then did another reboot. This time got through ok. Now though I'm missing a bunch of channels...

Finally! WFMJ in HD. About time. That was the prime reason I got my OTA tuner but their transmitter is so multipath prone in this area it is a crapshoot anyways. Now as long as they can get WYFX in HD (which shouldn't be that difficult since it comes from the same place as WKBN and it's been in...

A couple of annoyances here. Some repeated, some WAY past their should-have-been-fixed date. Also some feature requests of mine. :) 1) Currently I have a 222k set up in dual tv mode with TV 1 run via composite to a 4:3 CRT and coax for TV 2. I have yet to find out how to get TV 1 to let me run...

Yep. This is probably pretty much the case is there is such limited multichannel content for Palladia that they just run 2.0.
