I'm currently a DISH customer, considering switching to Directv, but had a question on their packages. On their website, if you get the cheap package (Entertainment), it says access over 4k on demand movies and shows. Jump to next package that is over 6k, next after that is 7k. Is that really...

Empiretc - thanks for this tip. I realized I could hide the antenna behind some equipment, so I went down to Wal-Mart and bought two of these at $10/each. They work like a charm. An easy (and cheap) solution - thanks again. No remote problems on either TV2 anymore.

Thanks for the all info guys, really appreciate it. Definitely have some options now to get this thing fixed.

Like the price, not sure about having another piece of equipment behind all my boxes - it's already such a mess back there, don't really want bunny ears sticking up. If I get desperate I will definitely keep it in mind though. Thanks.

Not sure where that even is in the menu, but it must be related to TV1 interference as the others eluded too, right? I CAN control TV2 with TV1 being on, but the remote has to be pointed in an exact spot.

I was going to try that but the antenna is 'male' and my coax is 'male' - so I couldn't easily test that. Plus one of my tv downstairs is in a cut out in the wall, so I can't really stretch the coax outside of that cut out. Might work on tv upstairs, but not downstairs in the cut out:(

Thanks for all the tips, I've done some additional testing. This is definitely a problem in our house, just can't believe it's really never come up until recently. Both tv's/boxes are doing it. TV1 on, can't control TV2. TV1 off, no control problems. I have discovered if I point the TV2...

Didn't work, will try splitters as pictured next. Any splitters/attenuators you can recommend that I can pick up at Radio Shack down the street?

Will give it a shot.

Thanks for the pic, no, my set-up does not look like that. The antenna is connected directly to the 722. Tips?

Both of our TV2s are back-fed with coax cable directly from wall to tv. I'm assuming the in-laws is the same. If you think I need an attenuator, any tips on a cheap one to test out? See that fixes the problem.

Not sure if this is a known problem, but I couldn't find anything on it. I have two VIP722s (4 tvs), have had them for about 4 years now. No problems. While visiting my in-laws, who also have one 722, when someone was watching tv in the living room (TV1), you weren't able to control TV2 in...

Anyone with 200 (or higher) package without a multi-sport package getting all the pac-12 channels or just 413?

Had DISH America and only got 413, then jumped to 455 - upgraded to 120 PLUS and the multi-sport package, now get them all. Can't wait for HD!

Better programming (for us) at the same price as what we are paying at Dish.

Thanks everyone. Now to make the choice to jump over to Directv to not.

If you go to directv.com and select your programming package, then add the hmc to tv1, then 3 hd receivers for the other tvs, it doesn't say what models you will get. Does anyone know?

Will it only work with the HR24 and not the HR25?

Thanks guys, this helps a lot - so to summarize (I don't mind paying $99 up front) - it sounds like I would be okay getting a whole home dvr (hr34) plus 3 hd receivers (hr25?). I'm still not sure I understand why you can't pause live tv - I hope you can rewind? I'm guessing it's a simple fix...

I am currently a DISH customer and have been for a long time. Considering switching to Directv to take advantage of their new customer deals. Basically, it looks like you can get a whole home hd dvr receiver and up to 3 hd receivers for $99 plus free installation. I'm just wondering what I...

That sucks, thanks guys. I've been a DISH customer for a long time now, but might consider switching to Directv for a good new customer deal - maybe come back to dish in two years? Looking into their whole home dvr service, trying to figure out if it's worth switching.

Currently have 2 722 HD DVR receivers - 4 tvs, 2 hd, 2 sd. I don't mind this set up. What I do mind is I have leased those for 4 years now, the first is free, but I have paid $17/mo for the 2nd for 4 years - that's over $800! My question is, if I buy 3 Joey's do I still have to pay that...

Thanks Dustoman, that stinks, but it's good to know. Maybe not worth upgrading quite yet for me?

Can anyone confirm if the new Blockbuster at Home app has access to everything that dishonline on a pc has access to? Right now, there is more available on a pc than through my 722 box.

Great write up Scott - have had two 722s for over 3 years now - certainly considering upgrading. It would be nice to record something and be able to watch it on any of the 4 connected tvs in the house. I don't need more than 3 tuners at a time. My biggest question is the Blockbuster at Home...
