    i-view 3500STBII & 222k

    I recently purchased the iview recorder. I was hoping to be able to connect our bedroom satellite feed (channel 60) in our case to the I-view to manually record an event from satellite. The I-view doesn't recognize channel 60. Seems funny since our bedroom TV scans and acknowledges our off-air...

    Mirror receiver

    Is there any way to mirror any of the receivers? I currently have Dish with 222k hooked to main tv(tuner 1) and bedroom (tuner 2). Tuner 2 is then mirrored to dining room and basement. I do miss the picture quality of Direct and I'm tired of the Dish programming. I was with Direct when we first...

    Spot beams

    How can I find if I am within a spot beam? I'm in upstate NY (Lowville, 13367). My locals include Utica NBC channel WKTV. I cuurently only get this station in SD from a wing dish. I noticed yesterday on "The List" that there is an HD version on sat 61.5 with a spot beam of 29. I am about 45...

    Using C-band or ku-band reflector

    As uhf has a "reflector" behind its antenna, has anyone ever tried using a c-band or ku dish to reflect signal into an antenna? Such as placing the uhf antenna at the focal point facing the dish surface?

    New to satellite

    My daughter got into her new home and inquired with an independant retailer for installation. He claimed that there is a $7 fee for the primary receiver? This dealer agreed to install a 222k receiver. Sounds like posibly a bait and switch setup or does the primary receiver get charged now? They...

    Pixelation at top and bottom of the hour.

    I know I've read here somewhere of others having this problem but none of the other threads I looked at sounded exactly like my problem. I have a 222k that pixelates as mentioned briefly on the hour and half hour. It gets frustrating. Someone mentioned software version- mine is L596. Anyone have...

    Can I subscribe to a distant network in HD?

    I have my local networks in SD from Dish. I can also get all but one network via OTA. Unfortunately my favorite network is NBC and that is the one I can not get OTA. The SD signal for NBC is the worse picture of all. Is it posible to purchase a Distant channel for NBC?

    My satellite picture is zoomed.

    I have a 222k that recently began zooming the picture. I don't have this problem with off-air channels and trying to adjust the display only zooms the picture more. It cuts off writing on the left and right. Last night I tried a reset but the problem remained. The signal is backfed to our...

    2 antennas connected to A/B switch

    Is it possible to connect two antennas cabled to the inside to an A/B switch and not use a UHF/VHF combiner? This would eliminate any signal loss, correct?

    Audio on TV2 via 222k

    My audio on TV2 goes loud and soft constantly. I don't think I have this problem when the receiver is set to single mode, only dual. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know a fix for it? We've had the system for 1 1/2 months.

    Replace Dish 500 single with dual

    Hi, I'm new here. I used to be a retailer for Dish from start til 2001. Before that I had a C-band business. Dish sure has changed since '01 with the high def! Anyway, I'm getting standard def locals on sat 119. I decided to purchase the HD versions through "Sobongo". They agreed the signals...
