    Problems w/ 722k TV2 UHF Remote

    My TV2 UHF remotes (6.2 and 21.0) worked for years without trouble in my far away bedrooms, but for some reason over the past few weeks they will only function when I bring the remotes within a few feet of the receiver. I can't figure out what the problem is. I tried using several different...

    Hi, question about dish install. Can it be installed onto stucco (brick behind)? My only other choice is to install on roof but I worry that maybe I will have water leakage problems in the future. Your advice is appreciated.

    Satellite 118 Signal or LNB issue?

    My signal stats: Satellite 119 TP21 = 36 Satellite 119 TP14 = 16 Satellite 119 TP15 = 38 Satellite 119 TP16 = 27 Considering 2 channels are still coming through from satellite 118, doesn't this mean my LNB is working fine and line of sight is the issue? Or could it still be the LNB?

    Satellite 118 Signal or LNB issue?

    Question, I have about 13 ethnic channels in my programming from satellite 118 but only 2 are coming through, the rest say something to the effect of 'signal loss issues'. Also, there is a tree he claims is slightly in the way of satellite 129 resulting in some of my HD channels not coming...

    Hopper with 3 Joeys setup, Western Arc

    Can I use my existing Western Arc dish with a Hopper & 3 Joeys? Do I use my same 4x4 multiswitch or do I change over to a solo node with a 3-way splitter? Also, does the Hopper have to have an internet connection or can I use whole home DVR without it?

    722k Hard Drive Failure

    My 722k's been freezing up & rebooting quite often over the past few months, I finally got a 'hard drive failure' message on the screen today. Does anyone know where I can simply get a replacement hard drive? I'd rather just swap it than get a whole new receiver, seems more cost effective.

    722K Freezing up ALOT

    My 722k has been acting up for the past 2 months. Every now & then when I play a DVR event it'll freeze in the middle of a program, then automatically go through the rebooting process. Any idea why this is happening? Was beginning to think I had a bad receiver until I read your post.

    Integrating 2 Satellite Systems - 722

    If I were to plug in my DirecTV system's coax out into my 722's OTA input, will all my DirecTV channels then appear on my Dish Receiver guide? Wondering if this will work because i know the 722's OTA tuner only scans OTA HD channels. :popcorn

    'Partial / Complete Signal Loss' - Error Message

    That would mean that this problem is only occurring w/customers that have an OTA connected to their 722, is that the case? I will delete some of my OTA channels that don't have a reliable signal, if that doesn't do the trick i'll completely remove my OTA module and see if the issue is...

    Watching TV this morning after a few minutes I get that 'partial / complete signal loss' blue screen on any channel. After pressing the 'dvr' or 'guide' I am immediately able to view my channel, so there is obviously no true signal issue. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.
