Well, yes and no. I'm not about to remove or install dish(s) myself, but I can certainly swap out a switch, LNB or receiver. How do I plug my existing three dishes with three Dish Pro LNB's into a Hopper node?

What happened to the 922?

WHat happened to the 922?

Can I swap out the 622 for the 922K and not have to mess around with my switch and dishes?

So If I cannot get the Hopper from you without your tech, is there an alternative DVR that I can upgrade to that doesn't require a Dish tech?

For the past few days, the video seems to be weak on my 622DVR, (it either doesn't display at all or it looks a bit like tracing paper is over it). I can fix it so far by turning the DVR on and off and on for a while and then the picture looks fine. I suspect that it might be some part that's...

What is DIRT?

Just got off the phone with Dish. They suggested waiting 24 hours to see if it resolves itself, and did not know any way to "rehit". They said reauthorizing was for 211's not 622 DVRs.

I have a 622 with WD myDVR expander HD (officially supported by both manuafacturers) that was working flawlessly and now when I try to copy something from the internal HD, it displays a messae that the hard disk needs to be formated in order to work. The same message I got when I originally...

That's interesting. I suppose this technique could be used with other combos to increase VOD (like recording 4 HBO channels for example), and lessen the need for more hardware tuners? Too bad its only spot beam though.

I'm in South Florida. Is it a spot beamed transponder for PTA? I know all my normal HD locals are spot beamed, only SD is not.

I've been thinking of upgrading to a Hopper but wanted to understand how Primetime Anytime (PTA) actually works. It is my understanding that one of the hopper's tuners records all four networks during primetime hours. How does this actually happen? Are all four networks "multicast" and...

I know DirecTV has them, its just that I don't want two satelite services on top of cable. I'm a TV nut but not that crazy! Dish switched me to the Western Arc for some reason, and I have to say except for the locals, things have improved receptionwise.

That's too bad, I guess I'll have to keep getting them from cable. It seems like such a waste especially since you can get most of the stuff over the internet now through DishHome/Blockbuster/Hulu. I was just hoping to consolidate my DVRing into one box.

I was reading a review of the Hopper on another website and it mentions that the Hopper records all of its PTA programming from one transponder. Does anyone know if this single transponder is available everywhere? What satellite is it on? Although I can get SD locals without trouble, the...

Thanks that seems to have resolved the problem. I remember I used to have this problem with the SW64 and power inserter, but this is the first time I have had to do it with the DPPSW33.

I need some help diagnosing why I seem to get a "lost signal completly" message screen when I switch to BBC America HD, and sometimes HBO HD East. I have a three dish setup one each for 110/119/129 with a DPP33 going into a dual tuner 622DVR. When I run a check switch test, tuner one flies...

I just upgraded my three dish setup to a 3 dish pro LNB's and a SWDPP33. Everything reception-wise is fine, but at least one of my LNB's doesn't fit into the dish's arm very well. I have two large 18" dishes for 110 and 119 and the old LNB's had squarer ends that fit into the opening on the...

I just read about the DPP33 switch. Is this a better choice for my situation?

I have a legacy 3 dish setup running to an active 622 HDDVR and inactive (just to test signal strengh/troubleshoot) model 6000. It seems that my SW64 is dead since neither receiver sees the switch and the tech checked all the wiring and found nothing else wrong. Should I just buy a new SW64...

Since it looks like I can't get 129, there's no point in getting a 1000 plus dish. Therefore a 500 plus and Sw44 would do the trick. Since I'm far south east, I'm a bit reticent to dump my nice big dedicated dishes for 110 and 119 especially during the summer rain storms. Is there a...

I would like some help sorting through various repsonses from Dish Tech support. A channel I subscribe to (TV5) is moving from 61.5 to 118.7. I have been told that in order to continue to receive all my programming I will need to "See" 4 satellite locations in total. I have a legacy setup...

So the the verdict from the technician is tree branches blocking the signal when they are weighed down by water. I've removed the branches so we'll see if that helps matters.

Thanks for your quick repsonses. I was all set yesterday to do some work when it started raining. Before it really came down, I saw that 61.5 had come back, but once the equipment got wet, I lost it again. It seems that at least something is getting shorted out because of water. I just...

As of yesterday I've completely lost the signal from 61.5. While I wait for a repairman, I wanted to get some suggestions from here as to what might fix the problem (I'm not afraid of going up on the roof). I have a three dish setup (119/110/61.5) with three tuners (one unused model 6000...
