    ViP622 L711 Update

    I just noticed that I now have L711 on my 622. When did that happen and what is it supposed to have fixed. Perhaps the random reboots that have been plaguing me since the L710 update?

    L710 for ViP622 Today (12/06)

    I noticed that all of my SD and HD channels are now being displayed in the program guide today, even though that option is not selected in my guide preferences. I tried rebooting but that didn't fix it. Any idea what this firmware version is supposed to fix / enhance?

    Sig viewed

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I just read this on today's edition of the Sky Report. Here's the link: MediaBiz As long as you are in the spot beam, doesn't Dish just "throw a switch" to allow your receiver to get these channels?

    What is a good STABLE Dish portable stand?

    I've just purchased a motorhome and I'm getting it rigged for Dish satellite service. I purchased a Winegard ST-2000 tripod mount and mounted a spare Dish 1000 on it but the mount is just too unstable for this dish. I use a 1000.2 at my house and I believe it is somewhat lighter in weight but...

    DTVPAL DVR - Get 'Em While You Can!

    I just got off the phone with an electronics sales associate at the Eau Claire, WI Sears store concerning the DTVPAL DVR sales listing on the Sears Outlet website. The quoted website price of $149.93 caught my attention so I called. He stated that these are actually 6 new units that are being...

    ViP 211K Lease Fee Question

    As an HD receiver only, the ViP 211K has a lease fee of $7/month. If the DVR activation fee of $40 is paid for all 211Ks on the account, does that then change the receiver lease fee to a single tuner dvr of $14/month? (I hope this question doesn't give "Fee Happy" Charlie any ideas.) Thanks.

    Receiver Solution for 3 HDTVs

    I currently have two leased 622's running in dual mode feeding two HD and two SD tv's. I'm about to pull the trigger on getting a 3rd HDTV and I am wondering if Dish would trade out one of the 622's for two 211K's. I have cable "home runs" to all my tv's and I have a 1000.2 dish that is...

    Proposed New Setup - What's It Gonna Cost Me?

    I currently have a 1000.2 dish and 2 leased Vip 622's feeding two HD and 2 SD sets and I'm not using an external switch. I will soon have all 4 HD TVs with no need for SD. Will Dish exchange the two 622's for four leased 612's and install a DPP 44 switch? I know they have a four tuner limit...

    Coupling 1000.2 and 1000.4 Dishes...Possible?

    Does anyone know yet whether it is possible to couple an EA 1000.4 dish to a WA(?) 1000.2 dish input that is looking at 110, 119 and 129 and thus have a total of six satellites into the internal switch matrix without adding an external switch? Thanks.

    Wing Dish 1000 w/I-adapter & DP single - Would this work?

    Would it be possible to use an original Dish 1000 w/I-adapter and a DP single LNBF as a wing dish to yield more signal from the 61.5 or 129 sat than using a Dish 500 with the same setup?

    HD Spot Beam is Limited Within My DMA

    Here's my email to D* concerning why I can't receive the Dallas HD locals, even though I reside within the DFW DMA and they have been available since Dec. '05. I find it interesting that "apparently" the HD locals are available to my neighbors who reside within a different zip code across the...
