    612 receivers with 722

    Well i think i would like the 612's since i have three HDTV's and 1 SD TV. I then could have a DVR on all of them. I could save some cash and go with 2 722's but then I would have only HD on two TV's except for the antenna with locals on the third. I think that would be the logic in the...

    612 receivers with 722

    So is the 612 considered a dual tuner or a single tuner in regards to ordering new service. Can a customer get a 722 and two 612's for example when ordering new service with the specials where you see 4 tuners installed for free.

    612 receivers with 722

    I was wondering this question concerning what equipment would be needed. I would like to get a 722 and 2 612's. What else would be needed above and beyond the dish 1000 as far as switches. can you hook up these 3 receivers without the need for other equipment. I believe three receivers each...

    I have a dish 500 now with a 942 in Wichita Kansas. I would like a new mpeg 4 receiver but they said I need a new Dish 1000 to replace my dish 500. What satellite the new HD channels running on that are MPEG 4. I currently get the old package with my dish 500. I saw that sat channel lineup...

    Dishhome interactive

    On Dish there is the interactive page with the dish button on the remote. It will pull up a mosaic of 6 screens showing ESPN, FOOD channel, etc. ( I cant remember the others!!). You can move the cursor over one of the channels and hit select and it will jump to that channel. My question is...

    multicasting

    I just moved to a new house and can not receive UPN 36 in Wichita Kansas on any hdtv or receiver. I am closer to the ant from the station then i was before. All the receivers see signal from the station but show a blank picture. Someone said i might have a multicasting problem. Can some one...

    hdtv question.

    77% wow i am right next to the ant. Maybe the channel is having a prob. I have tried calling a friend to see if he is having any trouble but no answer. They both see enough signal to scan the channel. I will keep playing.

    625 uhf remote

    I am looking in the book to see how to do that right now. The local guy set up the 942 uhf to channel 5 and left the 625 to channel 1 but i wasnt quick enough to see the menus for that.

    hdtv question.

    942 and ant installed today in new house. Old house was a block away with 811 and everything was great. All locals received no problem. Have a 811 feeding a hdtv and a zenith hdtv with local receiver built in and locals were great. In new house 942 feeding projection tv and locals received...

    625 uhf remote

    Hi guys, Just got my dish installed. The first 625 harddrive crashed day 1. It still showed a picture but would not record. The UHF remote worked fine. Today a new 625 arrived from my local rep and the 625 seems to be working but my UHF remote doesn't work in my room2. The other one...

    epg on 811

    So for the 811 i would just need a superdish to receive local epg since wichita is on a wing, but for the 942 I would have to subscribe to get the local epg. This sounds correct? Why the diff between the 811 and 942?

    epg on 811

    So I can get a superdish and not subscribe to locals and get epg. That would be great if i can get a superdish installed when i move for free!! :D Also can a 942 record locals ota in hd and then send the hd locals out tv2. I know tv2 in not hd but can you record NBC and then send that out...

    epg on 811

    I have read many threads but dont have a good answer yet. I like my 811 but have one problem. My wife hates seeing "local Prog" instead of the actual show on local hd channels. Locals in my area are viewable on dishnetwork using a superdish to receive them (non HD). Can i get a Superdish and...

    942 installation question 2nd tuner

    Well 2 942's would be dreaming but one might be possible if you get the right person. I did read somewhere that rca's seemed to give better pq. How far can the signal travel in rca conn's? It seems like you can never really ever future proof every possible conn out there. Next thing you...

    942 installation question 2nd tuner

    I love the quote someone made somewhere in this topic about ask your prof installer. You should see some of the jokers that have come out to me house to install my equipment. You guys are the experts not those nimrods. Even though there are some disagreements here and there I think I got my...

    942 installation question 2nd tuner

    i like the superdish with 2 dual receivers config. voom isnt that appealing but getting the local epg with the superdish is a must seing that my wife loves using our 501 but cant for locals. I have 2 hdtv's and two sd tv's so the dual 942's sounds sweet and then can record hd as well. I love...

    942 installation question 2nd tuner

    MikeD thanks for the info. Have a question i looked at the dishdepot website and saw the twin lnb and the seperator needed. Also i saw a dp 44. would i need this. I kind of understand the whole freq transponder and why you need the seperator but why would you need a dp 44 switch?
