    New VIP211K with existing EHD

    It tuned out it was a faulty power supply for the EHD. New power supply and everything is functional.

    New VIP211K with existing EHD

    I just received a new VIP211K to replace an existing VIP211. The receiver works fine but it will not recognize the EHD that I had on the old VIP211. I attached 2 EHD with no luck. I attached a flash drive to make sure the USB port was active and it was. Any help would be appreciated.

    2nd Dish at same address?

    I'm in the same boat. I have a detached garage that sits 125' from the house. It's tied into the main house panel, not a different residence. I was told it needs a separate account a few years ago. I installed an new dish and got an additional receiver. It too bad I can't get a Hopper system. If...

    Hopper Fan noise and Energy usage

    I think I remember someone quoted about 60 watts for the 722. If true, I would save 2x (622) 10 watts x 24 hours x 365 days x.35/kwatt = $60 savings per year. Not bad at all. Thanks statmanrich.

    Hopper Fan noise and Energy usage

    Now that the Hopper has been out for a couple of days, any updates on Hopper noise (Hard Drive Fan) compared to the 722/622. Also, any early power readings. I have 2 622s and 2 211s and need a slight push to go the H/J setup. By the way, my monthly rate would drop $6 if I upgraded.

    Answers to your Hopper Questions

    OK, let's see if we can get another question answered. On March 15th, as a new Customer, do you have a choice of the Hopper/Joey setup or a VIP setup or just a Hopper/Joey setup.

    Dish 1000.2 Problem (can't find the 129)

    RTCDude, thanks for the step by step instructions. I also got a dish that the elevation was stamped incorrectly. Followed your instructions and didn't get a signal. Pulled the Dish 500 off the ground, replacing with a Dish 1000.2 from Dishstore, and found the elevation on the old Dish was 9...

    Bad News For Dish

    Navychop, You're right. All I do is watch more programs in HD than ever while hours of programming are backed up on the DVR ready for viewing. This doesn't suck.

    Echostar Launch Party TONIGHT!

    I was a kid in the early 70s and watched Apollo 17 and Skylab 1 launch at night. There's something about watching the rocket launch light up the sky like it's day, hear the sound a few seconds later then feel the shock waves from the engines. We were about 4 miles from the launch in Titusville...

    Dish to start upgrading HD customers to MPEG4

    I hate to lose my 811 as it feeds 2 tvs and the second requires a UHF remote. Maybe a 222 upgrade if the price is right.

    Dead birds don't fly higher. Maybe slingshot effect.

    For those who would like to Track AMC14

    Altitude drop is slowing and course is changing. Dead birds don't do that. Maybe landing in the right place?

    What happens to the satellite icon if it doesn't make it. Splash or flame.

    For those who would like to Track AMC14

    If this thing is accurate, it has about 15 minutes. And speed is increasing. This is not right.

    Dishonline active on 622

    When do we get a 622/722 type receiver with built in wireless. That seems like the next step.

    SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - Week Ending 03/31/2007

    This may indicate how Dish plans to swap out receivers when they make the change. Start in one area swapping out receivers by making the locals MPEG4 then move to the next. At the end, move the nationals over.

    E-mail back from a Dish Tech

    Remember they are all graded on a curve. As long as you're better than your competition then you win .... for right now. It's also important what you're better at, most HD, more channels, better hardware, etc... All segments of the market are looking for something slightly different. You have to...
