    942 question: OTA not on TV2

    I am sorry if this is an old question, but why can I not get my OTA channels on TV2 (in the program guide) when in dual mode? I can see them in the program guide on TV1, but not TV2. (when in single mode, I can see them in TV2) Thanks for your replly.

    Yet another 942 question...

    Because I just want to hit mute. Wife wants to continue watching, not wait for my phone call to end. The main reason for this feature is if you cannot understand what is said, you can rewind a little bit, hit the mute button and read what was said. Lost is the worst show for understanding...

    Yet another 942 question...

    I have another quesion concerning my newly installed 942. It replaced a 7200. With it I could hit the mute button, and the closed captioning would start. No sound, but had the words on the bottom of the screen. This was nice when the phone rang, I could put it on mute, and my Wife could...

    Some 942 questions

    Hi folks, I have some questions about the 942: 1) The TV1 HD output. If I set the HD format to 16x9 and 1080i, what does the SD channels look like? Are they simply not shown? Or are they stretched? Do I have to hit the Format button on the remote each time I go to a SC channel? 2) In my...

    How do I connect the Video on the PVR 942

    Others on this forum may have more expertise here, but yes, you can connect the 942 output TV2 to your only Television. You will need to set it to channel 69 for example, both on the receiver, and on your television. You might want to set the mode to "single" and to "shared".

    942 install question - blank screen

    Here is an update, for those interested. The inataller showed up, looked at what I had, and said it was hooked up correctly, and could never figure out why there was a blank screen. After 20 minutes with a tech at DishNetwork, they determined the receiver was defective. Was not sending an...

    942 install question - blank screen

    The Dish 500 I have are two LNBs sitting next to each other (not the newer dual ones with a cover over both) with two cables coming out of each. Each dual cables connect to a sw21. There are two sw21s. One cable from each runs into the house. One was connected to my 7200 receiver, the other to...

    942 install question - blank screen

    Hello everyone. My 942 arrived. The installer is scheduled for this Thursday, but being an Electrician, I thought I could hook this receiver up myself and save the $50.00 installation charge. Well, I did everthing right according to the book, and my own smartz. Plugged it in, it powered up...

    How to plug 942 to Proscan

    Hello everyone, My new 942 arrived yesterday, and right away I have a problem. None of the cabling that came with the new 942 will hook the HD output to the HD input on my Proscan PS36800HR TV. The Proscan has an input that looks like the end of your computer monitor cable, and a left and...

    942 Deal for existing customers???

    I believe their only offer to existing customers is a 942 including installation for $798.00. No lease option. No credit for returning the receivers we do have. To me, this is a slap in the face. I cannot afford that. :down I may switch to Direct TV, I think I could get DVR with HD...

    I have been to Dish Network's web site, and can not find any info on leasing a 942. Nothing comes up in "search" either. Can you only purchase them now?

    942 install questions

    Thanks to both of you. Great info. :yes I do have a phone line to hook the receiver to, as did with my 7200. It appears that I can purchase the 942 receiver on-line, hook it up, give DN a call to authorize it, and I will be all set. I will get all the same programming I do now, plus 5...
