There is only one wire to the LR, my mistake. Talked to Dish and they offered me the sweet deal of waiving the tech visit fee ($95) if I sign up for their $6/mo protection plan for a 24 mo commitment. Man, how can I turn that down? Seriously, is everyone in this country that bad at math...

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll checkout the DishStore.net link for sure. And I could be mistaken about the two wires to the LR. Its been a while since I looked at it. I know for sure there is 1 wire to the BR though.

I've had Dish HD for years in the living room (722 receiver), but the bedroom has always been standard def (I thinks its a 311 receiver). The wife has finally grown tired of the standard def pic back there and wants to upgrade to HD (whoohoo!). My question is can I get a 211 receiver off...

Thanks for the replies. I do have an OTA antenna hooked up. Would this message show up for an OTA source even if the tuner is not on an OTA channel, and the recording did not come off of an OTA channel (PIP or otherwise)? Doesn't make a lot of sense to show the message for something you...

I've had my Dish Network 722 DVR for a couple of years and love it, 98% of the time. However, an irritating issue has cropped up revently. On Sunday evenings (only), the satellite signal starts dropping out, which causes the "lost signal" message to appear on the screen. This usually happens...

Don't know how strong the signal is, but once I got the antenna tuned correctly, I can watch any local in HD without issue. I have a Philips US2-PHDTV3 antenna (can't post a URL, sorry) because one of my locals broadcasts VHF, so I have to have a combo. All of the locals broadcast from the...

Hmm... this is interesting. I don't like the idea of not being able to do record all new episodes of my favorite shows (625 has completely spoiled me on that front), so I think I would keep my locals over the dish, if only for the programming guide. Can you tell the reciever which channels to...

So I finally pulled together enough $$ to get a shiney new Samsung 5 Series HDTV. I also got a Silver Sensor antenna and pick up all my locals in HD just fine. Currently I'm a happy Dish DVR subscriber, but I'm not under contract, so I'm evaluating what I should do. Couple of questions: 1)...

OK, so as someone who was planning on signing up for Dish DVR this week, should I still do it? Or wait and see what happens? I really wanted to get one up and running before the fall TV season starts in a few weeks. PS - Sorry if this has been asked, but I didn't read all 14 pages of this...

That fixed it! Thanks! I frickin' love the internet. It has the answer to all of life's problems. ;)

I woke up this morning and found that I couldn't recieve any channels. The error on screen is: A problem has been detected with your multi-dish switch. When I run through the the help available, I eventually get to the switch check screen. It doesn't find any of the satellites and I get...

Well I'm up and running with the new dish! :yes I (finally) got it this evening (despite it being on the UPS truck for almost 18 hours :shocked ). It took less than an hour to put together and install on the mast thanks to the great tips and pointers I got here. Calibration didn't take any...

Hi all, I'm back with a question. :) First let me say thanks to Mike for hooking me up with some supplies! Dish should be here tomorrow and I'll install it then. I've got a question about grounding. I've been looking at the installs of some neighbors and noticed that all of them have the...

Thanks for the transponder info... but what is a TP? :confused:

YGM. Thanks Mike! That handheld TV is a great suggestion. I used to have one laying around, but I don't know where it is now. I'll have to go looking for it. Side Note for future installations: the back pieces that you screw to the mounting base when installing it are kind of flimsy...

That's what I've read. I did the first part of my new install last night and moved the mounting bracket to a new location that should be a LOT harder for someone to steal. I reran the cabling and I'm probably going to have to spring for some short RG6 cables since the existing cable came up...

Could you please clarify this: When you say "now switch over to the other satellite," what exactly do you mean? Do you mean "check the signal strength on the other receiver"? Or does this mean the other LNBF? Or is this actually selecting a different satellite (other than the 119 West the...

Hi, first post here seeking some advice or links. :) My wife and I awoke Sunday morning to find that our Dish Network Twin LNBF 500 dish had been stolen off of our patio. Dish Network wants close to $200 for new equipment; even refurbed is close to $150. After searching Google and eBay...
