    Hi, following is the screenshot from the VIP 622's System Info One screen, showing the Sats 119, 110 and 129. Am i good to go in keeping the Dish parts and just replace VIP 622 with 922? Thanks much!

    Can my existing VIP 622 setup be used to replace it with VIP 922 and keep the rest of the setup?

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    Hey, thanks much! Yep, i did see that KBS World is available as part of programming package i have, thus i'm really NOT ordering the Korean Variety Pack from DISH, but merely trying to pick up the KBS World via the 4th satellite (and still keep my setup with 1 dish), hence the need to upgrade...

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    Okay, thanks again! By the way, "by good signal", would that be at least 70% signal strength? If not, then what would you consider as good signal strength? Thanks much!

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    Yes, i would, except i'm looking for a single dish solution since i'm getting a dish from Directv. So adding dish 500, i would end up with 3 dishes. :eek:

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    So what i forgot to mention is that i sent from SuperDISH to dish 1000. SuperDISH was huge compared to dish 1000, and dish 1000 looks so TINY where SuperDISH once was. Anyway, the installer of dish 1000 ended up using the existing SuperDISH bracket. The SuperDISH mounting looked strong and...

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    Thanks! So i called into DISH Network, and pretty much comes down to, pay $59.95 to upgrade to dish 1000+ unit. Looks like i don't even need to use my own DPP 44 switch after all. Not bad of a deal for the upgrade (i think). Question: Can the installer still use the same bracket from...

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    Thanks again! So looks like what you are suggesting would STILL REQUIRE use of DPP 44 switch, right? So it's between having 2 dishes attached to the side of the home versus single, 1000+. Before knowing about 1000+ existence, i was asking if i could mix dish 1000 and SuperDISH. And...

    Possible to receive 121/118.7 satellites on dish 1000/vip622 HD DVR???

    Thanks much for the info! Didn't know about 500+, 1000+ and 1000.2 dishes... Yikes! :up Glad to see that DISH is moving their international channels to 118.7 satellite... I do have DPP 44 switch from previous use with SuperDISH setup (prior to getting dish 1000), so that leaves me...

    Is this just as good a time to sign up with DISH to get DVR 625 and 811 for SD/HD?

    I've been hearing that DISH is about to scrub their DVR lines for both SD and HD (sometime in November 2005???) and that's been holding me up from going with DISH for SD/HD viewing with their DVR 625 and HD receiver 811. My plan is to lease DVR 625 and HD receiver 811. Even for new...

    Dish Pvr 522 And Replay Tv 5504 Remote Input Help Needed

    For the benefit of others, the ReplayTV remote code of 0775 worked just fine... The remote code of "0775" which worked just fine with my DISH DVR 508 continued to work with my DISH DVR 522 (replaces 508 unit) for remote controlling TV1 tuner using ReplayTV 5504 IR Blaster (i didn't have to cold...

    DP-34 question

    Looks like 522 must be connected on both of its 2 tuner inputs... Well, i messed up. I assumed i could just move the satellite input RG6 cable from DP34 to my DVR 508 to 522 (i'm replacing my 508 with 522) and have 522 work off just one tuner. WRONG... Doing the switch check shows that...

    DP-34 question

    Hello all, so i'm looking to do similar experiment where ultimately i'm planning to replace my DP34 connected with SuperDISH with DPP44 and DVR 508 with 522. But i want to do this in baby steps. So my plan A is to first replace DVR 508 with 522 keeping my existing DP34 setup. I have 119...

    This is my last chance before actually buying (or leasing) the 522 unit

    I have searched, searched and searched this forum and elsewhere for some sign of satisfactory response to my quest, which is, "Does ReplayTV 55xx or 50xx support IR code to use their IR blaster to tune DISH 522 TV1 tuner"??? If you have such successful setup, can you share your IR code...

    Bit of myth buster about feeding 2 signals off 1 using DPP 44 and separator...

    If running extra cable, should i still replace my DP 34 with DPP 44 switch? So my setup is i have 3 cables from SuperDISH to DP 34 switch that feeds a single cable to 522. Since i don't have necessary tools and etc. to run a new cable from DP34 to 522, i went the cheap route and decided...

    Dish Pvr 522 And Replay Tv 5504 Remote Input Help Needed

    :( Maybe i can e-mail her for this inquiry. [OT] I'm thinking that i may want to lease my 522 from DISH given what appears to be a software stability issue with this DVR unit. I would still like to own it, but might be less risky to just lease for few months (at the end of year) then...

    ReplayTV and secondary TV of 522

    Thanks. So looks like my plan for physically connecting 522 with 5504 should work. And the remaining question is, will 5504's IR blaster and IR codes work to tune 522's TV1 through its IR port. My guess is that it should, based on my current setup where 5504 tunes my DVR 508.
