Wow, so many routes to take. So the sling box I have is a good old red square box that sits on top of the receiver with the HD plug . So you are saying that will sling to an app on my other smart tv? That, if it works out would be the ideal situation since I don't need any extra...

Im not sure this is even the right place to ask this but here. goes. My equipment is dish 722 , sling and a Samsung 6000 series flat screen the usual WIFI . So I put a tv in the basement in the workout room and it's a 40' run of cable to the thing as it ends up. Of course the Samsung...

Yeaaayyy. Somehow I figured it out just now. It was the Dish Installation Menu. I went on and changed the 16 9 to 4.3 and it went back to normal. How the thing changes itself I have no idea. I just hope I can remember it when it happens again.

I will describe this as best I can. Ok I have a 4 year old Samsug , Dish and Netflix setup with K722 receiver. I have had them all as configured for a long time. The issue is screen sizing. I leave MSNBC on a lot to watch the stock prices. Works great yadda yadda. Here is where it...

Receiver is a 722K. Angie from the "DIRT" team contacted me. Maybe she can take care of whatever it is or at least shed some light. I gave her my info but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. FWIW I am getting about a 46 to 52 % signal on both 72 and 77 which are showing me being...

Oh yea I did forget to say where I lived Northern NY way up by Burlington Vt. Yes I had done the switch check several times and did it again with the tech results all ok, unplugged and reset ect . Did all of that. It's my own roof too so I know nobody has been up there but me. I just...

About a month ago my system which has worked fine for years began having issues with locals dropping in and out. It got worse over the next couple weeks and whenever there was any sort of heavy cloud cover got really bad. I checked for trees and there was one branch way out there that...

Yea I bet I am out of luck with this one but I'll ask anyways. When I use the Dish remote to move the Samsung's volume control it only moves one increment per push of the button. It wouldn't seem like such a hassle but it seems there is quite a lot of movement along that span to make a...

Thanks for the replies guys. Ok so now I know what that double set of mini component plugs is for. I can get a 30' set of components and snake those into the bedroom and that will do the deed. I don't mind the same programs only being able to be watched as it's what we had before and...

I just did an upgrade last month to a Dish 722K hooked up to a Samsung 6000 LED HD tv which is new as well. I have the second tuner set for out daughters room. Before with my old Sony projector I had a coaxial running into the master bedroom from a splitter to the #1 in the living room...

Yea, I never though of the possible interference the smart tv could cause and sure enough it seems to have worked. I put a short piece of coaxial onto the receiver and screwed the antenna onto the end of it which moved it about 10' from the tv. It seems to have worked. Of course none...

Background, We just upgraded from our existing 522 DVR to a 722K HD setup installed by Dish's installer. He set it all up including the RF number 2 in my daughters room . I found later after he left that the signal wasn't getting through to the receiver in the living room. The...

Well, its been over a month and this just died. Whats been happening with the freeze ups for you guys? Just how does this rig work anyways? Is it always running via the hard drive like a computer due to the DVR or is this completely outside that? My main reason for wanting to keep...

Mine Has Been Doing It Too Mine has been sticking momentarily lately too. Not too often probably once every hour and only momentarily. I don't have locals. Whats up?????

My 522 which is about 3 years old has started hesitating sometimes. Its just momentary like when a DVD skips a line or when you begin to get rain fade. I would say it sticks for about 1/4 second then all is normal. I know these guys run on hard drives like a computer so the big question is...

Ouch I will hope for the best and wait and see.................... Thanks:no

I have a 57 inch Sony reverse projector and recently notice a few green lines running across the screen in a half arch. They are sort of lower left to upper right oriirnted like the rings on a tree trunk. I don't see them all he time, more likely when there is a full dark background scene...

I am glad I am not alone with the kid thing. Mine has been bothering hell out of me about this the last few days. Now this afternoon she gets out of school early and is all pissed off because I sent her to get the snow tires on her car before she trugged off to her part time horse training...

Gawd kids are dumb. My kid dumped some sort of energy drink on her remote and now its undoubtedly kaput. Yea I cracked it open and let it dry by the fire like I have done with the cell phones before but she must have pushed the buttons and fried it. SSSSSSSOOOOOOOO, I now have a 522 in need...

I forgot to post back. I got the new LNB new off Ebay for $35 by waiting out one auction and sniping. Worked like a charm. Thanx for the advice to all,,,,

Its The Dishpro with one piece construction and 2 outletsI Itgs the one piece twin . Say, why do those screw on coaxial connectors work so badly. They screw on securely and pinch the sheathing much better than the other types unless you are using the fancy $50 die pliers. I still have found...

Thanx I Already Did All That The existing rig has been in good service for 7 years and did get a jolt of lightning via the ground cable a few years back. Damned stuff jumped right off the water pipe and give my daughter and her friend a friendly jingle 10 feet away in the stairwell of the...

Thanks Bigjohn No trees around at all and I had fiddled with the dish till both sats were coming in better than before. It seems like its been just getting weaker till rainfade is a pretty common occurance and now random channels have started just dropping out. I guess its time for a new...

OK for a while now my rain fade has been getting worse and signal strength weaker. Fair nuff I went and realigned the dish and currently have at least 85-91 (119) and 75-83 (110) both showing locked signals. Most of the time it was ok with both switches in the green. Now they are both red...

Thanks Van I will give that a try tonite Can't really blame the installer as its on my roof and the winds are just nasty here sometimes. At any rate no wind is neary as hard as a 1500 lb horse scratching it's back on your BUD. Its just the right height and sharp enough to get in all the...
