    Wich Orbital?

    Thanks you guys Dish came out on Monday, added a Dish 1000 for the 129 and replaced my DP34 switch with a DP44 and problem solved. It was great that I was able to use the component jacks on the back of my TV with Tuner1 on the 622. It turns out you can set the output to 480i to support my SDTV...

    Wich Orbital?

    LOL what does it take to get a straight answer from Dish Network? They are offering the 622 upgrade for $199.99 so I said what the heck I'll lease it now and since it has SD outputs I can use it with my current TV until I've saved enough for the HDTV I want. Simple right? Wrong!!!! After I...

    522 hard drive upgrade

    David I am not interested in the VOD at all and I really don't care if I am not able to use the extra hard disk space, ie replacing a 120 GB drive with a 250 and thinking I will be able to record more hours. All I am trying to do is replace my 5400 RPM piece of dirt Maxtor DiamondMax16 drive...

    522 hard drive upgrade

    Good questions Thanks for you reply and questions David! You can easily see what I am talking about if you momentarily disconnect the Hard Drive. I did this and the results were amazing. I powered down the unit and removed the power cord and then I disconnected the ribbon cable and power cable...

    522 hard drive upgrade

    Hey guys, has anyone tried putting a different or bigger hard drive in their 522? I successfully removed the drive from the unit, then imaged it using Norton Ghost 9. I then low level formated it, used it in my computer to move some big VOB files around, formatted it again and then put the...

    Few questions about dual tuner DVRs

    I have a leased 522 for which I pay an additional $5 fee per month for the DVR functionality. Personally I will not go out and purchase anything that has a hard disk in it and risk getting shafted when it craps out. My 522 has been replaced twice under warranty so far. I also own a 322 for which...

    Dish 522 / DP-34 switch error

    Thanks to inwo & lwilbur for their replies. Murphy's law dictates if things can go wrong they will and it so happens I had 2 simultaneous problems. A bad cable and a bad receiver. I replaced all the cables and re-connected my 322 and everything came back up. I Retested the 522 and SAT1 Turner...

    Dish Network 322 Receiver dialout over vonage

    Well I found another thread on the Vonage Forum that mentions the use of *99 in the prefix field of the dialout configuration. Unfortunately I don't see a visible means to invoke the * symbol from the remote control to populate that field on the 322 receiver. Does anyone know how to do this...

    Dish Network 322 Receiver dialout over vonage

    Thank you for your quick reply. I assumed that it would not work because it would not complete the "Dial Out" procedure under the Diagnostics menu (Navigate to menu option 6 then 3). All I am trying to do is avoid the $5 access fee. Are you then saying it will work for this purpose regardless of...

    Has anyone successfully completed a dish network receiver dialout over a Vonage (VoIP) connection? Can this be done? No help whatsoever from either Vonage or Dish Network. Is it possible I am the only one in this predicament? Please help.
