    tectonic activity and your dish

    Idle question, I live in Iowa where we effectively don't have any tectonic activity, so I'd like to ask, if you're living on the west coast, how often, if ever, do you have to re-align your dish because of tectonic activity?

    Can a VIP722K interact with a powerline ethernet adaptor?

    Is there a rule here about adding links in comments? I see the link I tried to put in to a gizmo on Amazon is just a blank space. But I'm wondering if I can get my Dish receiver and recorded material on my monitor. I haven't tried Dish Anywhere for a long time since it adamantly refused to...

    Can a VIP722K interact with a powerline ethernet adaptor?

    Probably been asked before. I have a VIP722K. It has an ethernet port. Would I be able to plug it into one of these, and access it on my desktop pc?

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    He turns the TV around to face the window so the poor kids can huddle around outside in the cold and watch CNN.

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    Not a channel, but it wouldn't be pretty nifty if they could make something like a thermometer and wind speed indicator on the dish that you could pop up on the tv. Turn the dish into your own home weather station.

    Going from ViP722 to Hopper - Transfer Data from Internal/External Drive

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this on, but would I be able to transfer existing recordings on my 722 onto a Hopper?

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    Success! Now why on Earth did I record all this junk? One problem though. The Up arrow won't work. So I can go through the recordings with the Down arrow but once it gets to the bottom it's stuck there. If I change it with Sort by Date or Sort by Name it goes back to the top but still the...

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    Thought of that. It would be a major hitch because of the way we pulled all the cables and recombobulated the house after we got the 722.

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    I've got the info screen but it just immediately runs a test and says 'Error! See details' and it won't change the remote address.

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    When I turn on the receiver it keeps trying to connect to the satellite dish. I can get the main menu, but not sys info.

    can I access the dvr on a 510 receiver, long unused?

    We have an older 510 receiver that's been sitting around doing nothing since we upgraded a couple of years ago. I would like to be able to access the stuff that was recorded on the dvr on the 510, but I'm having no luck. None of the remotes that came with it are still around, the oldest we...

    how to hook up HD tv and receiver to the internet?

    You're right, the reviews on most of those cables are dismal, so I'm looking at this one at $11.99, http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Computer-Networking-Cat5e-Ethernet/dp/B003RCEAB8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329343833&sr=8-2

    how to hook up HD tv and receiver to the internet?

    Interesting, and practical if we think of potential future expansions, but 100ft of ethernet cable is $7.58 on Amazon. I'd like to ask, at such a low price would I have to think about quality control issues in the cable?

    how to hook up HD tv and receiver to the internet?

    Yes the tv is wifi enabled, but my understanding is the cables will be a better connection. Two cables will be cheaper than one cable and two splitters, but I think the prices on ethernet cable at Amazon are about a third of where they were last time I looked. Is there some trick I'm missing here?

    how to hook up HD tv and receiver to the internet?

    Two cables is such an obvious and practical solution my brain leaped straight forward to something I might have difficulty with! Thanks!:)

    how to hook up HD tv and receiver to the internet?

    We just got a new HD tv with internet apps on it, so my question is, what is the best way to hook up this and the 722 receiver to the internet so I can use both the Blockbuster@home app and the internet apps on the tv? (I'm thinking two short lengths of ethernet cable to an ethernet splitter...

    TV1 and two remotes --it will not do it

    Well. Ok. Did that. Now they both work. :) Is it notillogical that one remote should lose it's capacity to function and have to be reset like that in this circumstance?

    TV1 and two remotes --it will not do it

    I have a 722. Is there some reason why I cannot get two remotes to work with TV1 at the same time? I program one and the other immediately won't work, I do it again and the other one won't work. Am I doing something wrong?

    will remotes for TV1 and TV2 both work on UHF?

    Success! I did it! Was inadvertently leaving out the last step, 'record'. Would I be able to get the other remote, the 6.3 IR/UHF Pro, with a switch inside the battery compartment that says A to B, to work as well?
