My trouble started when, in an attempt to start getting HD channels for MAVTAV and Velocity, I was told by Dish that I would have to upgrade to an HD Receiver and an HD-compatible dish. So...I bought a brand new VIP222k receiver and new 1000.2 dish and had them installed. I also decomissioned my...

Thanks! I will check into it. The other alternative I am considering is to replace the 15-year-old Toshiba TV I'm currently using with a more modern flat-panel. Hate to give up the old TV, though, as it has an excellent picture and has been stone-axe reliable. Thanks again.

Thanks to help from folks on this forum who are more tech-savvy than I, I have replaced my old DP311 SD receivers with a single VIP222k dual tuner receiver. It's great to have access to the HD channels I have been paying for. But there is a compromise. The coax feed to "TV2" is only...

Thanks to both of you....THe DishPro Triplexer looks like the way to go. That way, I can add a feed from an OTA antenna and/or a second dish...which works for me.

Rick -- Thanks so much for the affirmation. This is not rocket science, but I have already spent a ton of money on programming upgrades and the new hardware that I want to make sure I do not waste time/money experimenting. When you say "Two short cables," roughly how long? 2 feet, perhaps...

I need some advice on upgrading my old Dish hardware. I need to move up to a Dish HD receiver to replace my old DP311 SD receivers and my Dish 500/LNB. I will be replacing 2 DP311s with a single VIP222k. I have ordered a VIP222 from a Dish dealer who sells through Amazon. I've also been told...

Thanks for the info, laddyboy!

Again -- Thanks for the input. Let me make one thing clear -- I never meant to give anyone the impression that DISH made the decision to kill SPEED. If I did so, my apologies. I know that this was a product decision on the part of their owner, Fox, who has decided that we need another...

Thanks for the quick response, Bobby. Yes, I knew that the decision to give SPEED the axe was made by Fox...And that is their right, of course. But the product people at DISH should have been able to look at their viewer stats for SPEED and realized that there was, in fact, a sizeable paying...

I've been a faithful DISH subscriber since 1995. Always gotten their top-of-the-line America's Best package. I have 3 receivers that I never bother Dish about support for (I own the equipment and I do my own troubleshooting -- read: I don't cost them customer support money). They've made a ton...
