    Can I replace the TurboHD dish with a 1000+ that I have?

    Recently I moved to a new location. I used to have HD & international programming, so I have a 1000+ dish which can pick up 110, 119, 118.7 & 129 (with DPP44 switch). I've fulfilled my 18 months contract already. I did the $6 service plan + $15 technician visit to move to the new address...

    Can I combine DISH's TV2 output with Comcast local channels?

    I got Comcast local channels for free and I'd like to combine DISH 722 receiver's TV2 output(channel 60 or 73, set to 73 now) with Comcast local channels over one single coax cable. Is it possible? I checked Comcast's channels, nothing on 60 or 73. However, if I put them together just using...

    VIP722 humming noise

    Hello, I noticed that VIP722's fan is running even after I turned off the receiver(AC is still plugged in), thus it makes a humming noise. It's very noticeable especially at night. Any way to turn off VIP722 completely or let it go into some kind of idle mode? Thanks!

    Are files on external USB drive encrypted?

    I am planning to get a USB drive for my HD722 receiver, just want to know if the files(SD & HD) on USB drive are encrypted or not? Is it a way to play them back on PC? If they are encrypted for normal channels, how about ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX broadcasting channels? Thanks!

    Does DISH722 support QAM for Comcast local stations?

    I'm a bit far from the towers so I can't get all the OTA ATSC broadcast stations. I have Comcast basic analog package and I'm wondering if DISH722 can pick up the QAM(un-encrypted) HD channels? I saw "Off-the-Air", "Cable", "IRC", "HRC" options in my 722 menu. Does the "Cable" mean QAM? Or...

    Do you guys think DISH will release a IRD with active Firewire?

    Do you guys think DISH will release an IRD with active Firewire? I was using Comcast's Motorola 6200 and it has an active Firewire output which I can use to record all the HiDef channels to my JVC 30K DVHS. Then I switched to DISH due to its international channels, but it seems like 811, 921...

    How do your provide power to DPP44 switch?

    I'm using a DP34 switch now and it doesn't require external power(receiver's 20V is enough), but probably I'll move up to a dual-tuner setup later and I'm thinking about replace the DP34 with a DPP44 switch. With Dish Pro Plus, I should not need to run another cable from roof to TV room. The...

    Can 811 get OTA HDTV without DISH HD subscription?

    DISH 811 receiver, if I cancel my HD subscription($10 for 5 channels), can I still able to get the local OTA HDTV? If I'm still a AT60 subscriber, I will still get the integrated OTA EPG, right? I'm thinking about stopping the HD sub and buy a 811 myself to get OTA only, but need to make sure...
