    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    No 129 signal in the Texas panhandle. Does anyone at Dish know what has happened? Is 129 toast or is it fixable?

    Slow Guide on 722K

    Slow guide with L680 I've had slow guide about 3 times in the past week. I am running L680. By the next day, everything is normal again. There doesn't seem to be any one thing that makes it slow down; but you know it will be slow when you hit the guide button and it takes 3-5 seconds to...

    vip722k slow to respond with 1 remote

    My system never did that. Mine showed a screen indicating "entering system wizard" and after about 30-45 seconds, the screen showed "your remote has been reconfigured" and it worked after that. Maybe the "menu-menu-cancel-cancel" will work for you. I will try that next time. That may be...

    vip722k slow to respond with 1 remote

    Yes. That's what I did. Both my remotes have done this since initial install on 6/30. Sometimes it is #1, other times it is #2. Must be some kind of glitch in the programming, but the system wizard has cleared it up for me.

    vip722k slow to respond with 1 remote

    I have had the same problem with both 722K remotes "1" and "2". What I have done is press and hold "O" to enter the system wizard and let it reconfigure the remotes and everything works fine after that. You'll have to do this with both remotes in the same room as the 722 tuner. Don't know...

    rain fade getting noticeably worse

    I have a similar problem with rain fade here in Amarillo, Texas. My 1000.2 dish was installed on 6/30. I have had the installer back out here twice to repeak the dish. The last loss of signal was last Wednesday AFTER the last repeaking. I have had three chats with Dish Technical Support on...

    upgraded dish from 500 to turbo HD.HELP

    Thanks for the dish info. What would be the best way to aim the dish. Should we try to get the 119 satellite #'s as high as possible and then see what the 110 and 129 #'s look like? Are there any "how to" guides regarding aiming the dish? I am beginning to wonder if maybe the techs don't...

    upgraded dish from 500 to turbo HD.HELP

    Thanks for the comeback. They have repeaked the dish twice already. The second time, it improved the signal a little. They sacrificed signal strength on 110 and 119 to bring up 129 slightly; but it still drops HD with the least little disturbance. This is totally unacceptable to me. I have...

    upgraded dish from 500 to turbo HD.HELP

    I am a new install (6/30/10) with a VIP 722K and Turbo HD dish. I don't think my signal strengths are very high here in the Texas Panhandle. Most transponders run in the 50's & 60's with a couple in the 70's. Let any rain cloud move into line of sight and I loose HD. I have had Dish back out...
