    Upgrade 622 w/ext. hard disk to hopper?

    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...

    Trying to understand PTA

    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...

    Hopper PTA

    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...

    Lost signal

    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...

    Attaching LNB, to dish arm

    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...

    Advice on Legacy 3 dish.

    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...

    Getting 118.7

    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...

    Lost 61.5

    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...

    No more signal on 61.5, transponder 27

    for the last few days I've ben unable to tune into TV5 on 61.5, transponder 27. When I try, I get the "Aquiring satellite" message. If I go to the signal strength screen it's at 0. I can tune in lots of other channels on 61.5, so I know that I'm at least tuned into the right bird. Out of...

    Can't get locals

    All of a sudden I'm unable to get my NYCity standard def locals (I think these were on 61.5). When I try to tune in on one (WNET Channel 13, for example), I get a black screen and then a swith error message. I do a check switch, which seems to take a lot more time passing test 1, which...

    942/switches/diplexer questions

    I'm thinking of upgrading my existing setup with a 942 and hopefully utilizing the dual TV option to replace two receivers. I could use some help understanding if what I want to do is possible, what I need to do it, and if there's a better way. My current setup is: Receivers: Model 6000...

    942 questions

    I'm interested in upgrading to the 942 HDDVR. Can I replace my 6000 receiver by the 942 and use it's existing antenna line or do I have to run an additional line for the second tuner? I'm using a SW44 and two SW21's in a 3 sat. 2 tuner setup. Do I need to upgrade my switches? I also have...
