Is it possible to transfer my recordings to my new hopper 3? Getting the upgrade tomorrow afternoon, and I have several shows I'd like to not lose. I don't have an external drive at the moment, never needed one, but I'll go buy one tonight if it's possible.

Technically not forced, I know... Issue I have with it is, about 6 out of 10 times I turn my hopper on, it's on Viceland. I've never watched this channel, the title of the programs I've seen does not agree with me on many levels. I was pissed about losing H2. Many times I come home, when no one...

I'm looking at buying a super joey to add to our setup and have some questions. I didn't do the original install, dish tech did. He put the node outside, used existing wiring in the attic to get 10' to the master bedroom wall, drop down, and put the HWS in there. I know there is a TAP or...

Got a guy here local that selling an SL dish, and 5 various receivers, some HD, some DVR, etc. I'm curious if buying them will save me any money monthly with DTV? We've been kicking around going back to either Dish or getting DTV as our cable sucks. Both seem to be within $2 a month of each...

Rented "Knowing" tonight, on my 722k, and it says it's 1080p, and it's going to run a test on my tv, causing the screen to go blank for 15 seconds. Test concludes and says my tv doesn't support it. BS.. It's a 1080p JVC.. :rant: So it then says I can rent at a resolution the WILL work, and now...

I built this based on pics of the DB8. I had tried the "build your own" with the 2x4 and the chopped up coat hanger. It picked 3-5 channels inside depending on placement. The first half also picked up the same channels, and seemed to work better with the grid portion facing the signal...

I called about changing my 722 to the K version. I've been with dish over 10 years all total and have become used to them not offering much to existing subs. But they want $125 to upgrade me to the 722k, AND another 24 month contract. I don't know how to check my contract status, but I know I...

I just moved (for real) and called to update my service address from Albuquerque to Montrose (thinking I'd get Denver locals) but I got stuck with the Grand Junction locals, losing half my local channels, and ALL the HD locals. :eek: Is there a list somewhere that gives up which channels you...

I caught a channel a week of so ago that was showing sunrises from different parts of the world, in the morning.. Don't remember much about it other than the scenery. Anyone know where I can find this again? Thanks

Watching Jason and the Argonauts this morning when the screen started getting a little jerky, then a little pixelated, then a little gone. Suddenly no signal. Reset to no avail. Check the 322 it the same. Run a switch check and it comes back ALL not connected. Call for a tech visit (next sunday...

I've read about the new meter and how the lower nombers shown are nothing to be concerned about. BUT, if it's now ok to have a signal of 40, why does the meter still read up to 125??? I just had my 625 swapped for a 722. Signal on the 625 was never better than 45-50 on good days. 722 seems to...

I'm sitting here with perma-grin over my new 722's hd picture (dogfights in HD is pretty sweet).. So I haven't read the book yet, but I'm setting up all my timers again and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me WTH this dishpass is good for other than making a bunch of timers for shows I don't...

I'm looking for the magical symphonic tv code that mute-wacks your TV if you try to mute it.. My installer didn't program the new remote for the TV when he was here..

Looking at my first FTA setup and thought I'd get some opinions. Looking a the VS IV-200, some cheap 30-36" dish, SG2100 motor. had a question about Icebergs T90 tho. What does a sat with 16 LNB's get that the motorized won't get, or vice versa. That seems like the shiznit setup right there...

I recently copied all of my recordings from my 625 to my PC in anticipation of the update for the DVR time increase, and now I'm going HD and moving to a 722. So is my backup now moot, or can I move them back to the 722 to save them? Does the 722 use the same data format to record stuff or am I...

Looking at my bill this morning I noticed a Free HD for 6 mos. offer, with Free upgrade to DVR Receiver. Checked for locals and I get 3 in HD, so at this point it should be the same price (for 6 months) as my current 250+locals. Anything I'm missing here? Also, will I get the 622 or the 722? I...

Just unpacked an setup my very first HDTV.. Actually my first new TV in 15 years, how sad is that. I actually feel guilty about tossing my old jvc 27" because it's served me so well for so long. Anyway... Now I have my 625 hooked into it via S-video, and no HD programing.. Questions are...

I've read the rules so I hope I'm ready to post.. :) I've seen the FTA systems on ebay and never really thought alot about it until I found this place and started reading. First question is, why is it that all these signals are up there FTA? I was one of the unassuming that thought all sat...

Looking to get a new receiver for the bedrooms.. Trading out a 322 for anything dual/dvr.. I had a 721 that I sold when we got this package installed. Have a 625 in the living room and it seems to do ok most of the time. I was thinking about either getting another 721 (and living with it's...

Got the 4 room install yesterday with the 625 running 2 and a 322 running the other 2. Had wanted to use the 322 for 1 room only use my 721 in the 4th room, but the installer tried everything (he says) and couldn't get it to work. Have a 2 output DPPlus LNB, he tried running 1 output through a...

Running 721 off 1 LNB output I am getting a 721 and currently have a 510 and DP Twin LNB. I'm looking for a way to run the empty output of the LNB to the 721 via a splitter of some sort to accomidate the dual tuner. Will the dp34 switch work? I will only use 1 input, but it will run 2...
