    Tuner question

    I am presently using a 722k receiver, even though I seem to remember the same situation with the VIP622. Let me set the scenario, then ask the question. I have a program set up to record from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM and the guide shows that this is recording on tuner 2. I have another program set to...

    Using optical splitter with VIP 622

    I have my 622 connected to my surround with the optical cable. I want to also connect a Blu Ray player to the surround system, but only have one input. I was looking at an optical splitter, but there was one poster that was unable to use the splitter with his satellite DVR because the connection...

    Little help on RV installation, please

    I'm trying to install an old Voom dish on my RV so that I can use my DP311 on an occasional basis. I can't seem to get a signal at all on the set. Will this 20" dish work ok as a Dish 500? The first problem that I see is that I don't have an azimuth adapter. Would that keep me from getting...

    Best Signal Strength Meter for RVing

    I'm sure there must be a thread for this somewhere, but I couldn't find it. What meter is working well for you. I would like something in the $100 range that would be fairly simple to use. I've read that the simple ones are pretty unreliable.

    CRANK-UP RV Digital Satellite Dish

    I'm looking at the Winegard manual model. Does anyone have any experience with this unit? Is it easy to adjust once you've hit the campground? How hard is the installation? Any help would be appreciated.

    Spotbeams question

    I am about to make a trip to Albuquerque and I am in the process of setting up a dish and plan to take my 322 with us to use in our RV. Which Satellite should I be trying to access? If I understand the spotbeam thing, we won't be able to pick up our Memphis locals anyway. Is that...

    Lost HDMI

    The signal from my VIP 622 receiver went bonkers today and in checking out, went away completely. I am able to get signal through component cables, so I guess that HDMI output is kaput. I don't see a DHPP charge on my bill, even though it is over in the "Explanation of Charges" section...

    What are the E3 and E4 satellites

    I see these birds on the available channels, but they require extra equipment. Are they accessible from everywhere and it seems that the 500 will pick them up. Anyone know the details?

    Where is Golf/Versus HD?

    This channel was scheduled in the 8/15 additions, but I haven't seen it yet. Is there a reschedule date?

    Locals on Vip622

    I just activated my Vip622 exchanged from 942. I cannot get two of the digital channels that were strong on the 942. I cannot pick up 50 or 53 and 52 is at a seemingly lower value (61). Can't remember the strengths of these 3 channels on the 942 and I have already returned it. Has this...

    Early DST and EPG information

    I overheard a conversation this morning that the satellite providers are unprepared for the early start of DST this year and that the EPG will be incorrect on 3/11. Is there any truth to that? I can't see how it would be a problem, but who knows?:confused:

    What HD programming only available in MPEG-4

    Can you give me a list of what I'm missing by not upgrading to the new MPEG-4 receivers?

    My 622 Tells Lies!

    I tried a couple of searches on this, but couldn't come up with a good way to describe the problem. On two recent occasions, my 622 tells me that it recorded a program for which I had a timer set, but it was not on the list of recorded shows. When I check the schedule, it says that the show...

    Was the 622 upgrade worthwhile?

    Some of you early adopters tell us if it is worth the $99 to upgrade. I haven't seen a lot of WOW posts about content and it seems that the 622 is no more powerful than the 942. What's a guy to do?:confused:

    Strange things

    I started to watch Lost on my 942 last night and when I selected "Start" I got a mesage that there was a problem with the recording and it couldn't play. Error #7. I'm pretty sure that I deleted it, but when I started to watch the recorded news (on a different day and channel), what I got was...

    Will 622 have better OTA Program Guide?

    Do you suppose that the 622 will do a better job of downloading information for those channels that now show "Digital Service?". I sure would like to know what's on the PBS-HD subchannel and the non-majors in my area.

    The missing Christ

    I've listened to the two Christmas channels today with nary a Christmas carol to be heard. I guess this is a pitiful attempt to be politically correct. We wouldn't want to offend any non-Christians by singing about Christ's birth on His birthday,now would we? Of course, it presents no problem if...

    What is PQ on VOOM?

    What kind of quality is being transmitted on the existing VOOM channels? Seems like I saw something a few months ago about PQ testers. Any results yet?

    Middlemarch middles

    I set up a timer to record All Episodes of Middlemarch on RushTV and none of them were full episodes. Episode 1 started somewhere in the middle (maybe that's why it's called Middlemarch). I didn't go to the end, but I'm pretty sure that that hour went on into the next episode as Episode 4...

    Why are Manual Timers on Tuner 1?

    I have my 942 set to default record from Tuner 2. When I set up a Manual Timer, it always records from Tuner 1. Why is this so? To my further consternation, when I want to watch something other than what is playing, even on the OTA Tuner, I get the "Do you want to stop Recording" screen...

    Why no "Sounds of the Season?"

    Searched all the music channels for some patriotic and "Sousa type" music for the holiday, but alas :( , none. Why doesn't E* offer a "Sounds of the Season" type music channel like the other providers do? Any ideas?

    Anything new on @#%^(* OTA PG Issue?

    Is there any news on when we will see program guide information of the OTA channels? This manual timer routine is the pits! :mad:

    Using old dish for RV

    I have recently switched from VOOM to Dish and have 2 dishes, a 942, and a 311. I have an old D* dish as well as the V* dish, both single LNB. Can I use one of them with the 311 in my RV?

    Skipping unwanted and unsubscribed channels

    Is there a way to disable the channels that I don't subscribe to so that they do not display as I scroll through the channels? My old RCA STB was able to do that on DirecTV so that I didn't have to endure all the HBO, MAX, etc channels as I went through.
