    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    Aspect Ratio issues

    When my 722k is off & I press 'power' or 'select' to watch TV I noticed that the aspect ratio displayed on the banner is incorrect. For example, it will say 'stretch' even though I am actually viewing a show in 'normal' mode. It isn't until I toggle between all the aspect ratios by pressing the...

    I'm confused. -So does my 722k already have the OTA Module installed or do I have to buy one? -With the OTA Module do all my OTA channels integrate with my satellite channels in the guide via my HDMI output? Or are they only integrated via the RF/coax TV1 output? Please clarify, thanks.

    Over the air module / antenna - locals

    I noticed the 722k has an 'antenna in' coax connector. If I just connect some old rabbit ears will I be able to watch SD/HD locals immediately, or do I need to buy an over the air module? Thought the module was already installed on the 722k?
