    If you have a cooling device, the OTA dual tuner works PERFECTLY!!

    Thanks guys. Ugh, I can't believe I never tried just going to the channel and waiting for the meter to appear. I must be getting REALLY impatient in my advanced years......

    If you have a cooling device, the OTA dual tuner works PERFECTLY!!

    I looked there (OTA channels) but the only things that comes up is the channel list menu that gives me the option to move channels off the guide. Nothing that shows channel strength. The only time I see channel strength is when the info box pops up saying the OTA channel has been lost. In that...

    If you have a cooling device, the OTA dual tuner works PERFECTLY!!

    I added a fan setup to my dual OTA tuner and noted that while it helps, it does not solve the "lost signal" problem on some of my channels. It is odd watching the lost signal icon meter thingy bounce from nothing to 82 and then back to nothing. I did however resolve another problem I was having...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    To finalize the install, my terminators arrived and were promptly put on the hybrid solo and my USB tuner got hooked up. Weird thing about the guide: The local channels showed up but with no information. I figured they would populate overnight but that was not the case when I turned on the...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    Believe me, I did ponder it. But in the end, the system is up, dish waived the tech coming out and my Hopper with Sling is running as of an hour ago. Final costs for the Hybrid LBNF, the Hybrid solo hub and the new cable was still notably less than what the service call would have been. Still...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    Thanks for the confirmation on the terminators. And in retrospect, I probably should have just started out with the recommendations to get the Hybrid LBNF and Hybrid hub right from the start. Then again, it could have been the shiny new LBNF that got smashed. After the incident with my existing...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    I ordered a Hybrid LNBF and Hybrid Solo Hub since, ah, well, that is to say, 20 foot elevation + concrete surface below + butter fingers x gravity = a bad result for my LNBF. Please don't ask for details. :oops: Now fortunately I was able to get next day shipping (Amazon Prime Sunday delivery...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    Thanks everybody for all the help and info. 1 last (I promise for now) question: I just crawled out on the roof to look over the current LNB I have. It has 3 receptors/whatever on it. If this is not compatible with the Hopper with Sling fine. I don't mind spending the money to get the...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    boba: Thanks for the info. I probably should have been clearer about what I was trying to get across. What I meant to say is UNTIL I deactivate the 722 and then install/activate the Hopper, will my 722 be usable on the updated LNB and solo node to confirm satellite signal strength? Once that is...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    JSheridan: Thanks for the LNB info. I will head off to Amazon and check on availability. HipKat: Thanks for the information on losing the 3rd Channel with my present setup. I will go out on the roof and identify what LNB/Dish setup I have. I will assume that since the Dish hasn't been touched...

    722K to Hopper with Sling self install questions

    This is going to be long so I will apologize in advance: My VIP722K (I own it) is starting to get flaky. IE: Sometimes it skips recording what is on my schedule and sometimes it records stuff I didn't ask it to. So I want something newer. I found a VERY good deal on a Hopper with Sling that...
