    Hopper 3 upgrade single cable from dish?

    OK as everyone has replied, yes it is fine that the tech only used one of two cables from dish antenna to connect to hub. As was surmised all ports on the hub are connected with 1 having a terminator resistor cap on hub. The loose cable was in crawl space where it went to each of the VIP 722's...

    Hopper 3 upgrade single cable from dish?

    I just had my vip722 upgraded to hopper 3 and joey 3.0 and was wondering about the dish cables going into node. I only have 1 of the cables from dish connected to the node and other was left disconnected hanging there. Is there a way that only one cable from dish to node works? If left that...

    Joey 3.0 low supply? And Hopper 3 to VIP series Comparison

    Well for the Cons the only 2 real ones for me are OTA recording (but that was to take advantage of resolving some recording conflicts as I do get both OTA and Sat), and to lesser extent 4x fast forward but very rarely used that anyways. The tiles may take some getting use to but hopefully the...

    Joey 3.0 low supply? And Hopper 3 to VIP series Comparison

    I am thinking of upgrading from 2 VIP722's to Hopper 3 and Joey. I was told they could build request with Joey 3.0 but there would be no guarantee I would get the 3.0's but possibly 2.0 joey if that is all the tech has. I guess my question is should I hold out for 3.0 joey? What if I cancelled...

    Recent ViP622 change to networking?

    I also noticed that about a month ago and seems it happened with an update to receiver software. First one of my 722s showed up then about a week later the other one showed up in network map. Only difference was the version of firmware on the two units when 1 only showed up.

    Called tech support, and they ERASED ALL MY RECORDINGS!

    I have had two 622 in the past have issue with hard drive and what I did was carefully open the outer case (with receiver unplugged). Look for the hard drive power connector and unplug power connector. I then used and external hard drive power and USB kit (for computer) and only used the power...

    bypass hdd on a 622

    I have had 2 receivers do as you stated and I really wanted to get shows off that were still in Sat box. What has happened in both cases is that the hard drive seemed to not get enough power. I pulled the power plug, took the cover off, disconnected the hard drive power cable and being that...

    tv2 through tuner card - windows media center pc

    I have done what you wanted with Win7 (and I did it also when Vista was on this machine)media center and it does not search and find channels that are not listed in your area. What you have to do is manually add the channel to receive the back feed from sat tv2 to pc input. If you look in the...

    OTA 722 does not recognizing the antenna

    I have the 722 and have no trouble with locals over the antenna. I am assuming you are able to pick up the locals with an antenna from where you are at, correct? Other then scan for locals in system setup there is no "switch" that needs to be done so possibly a problem with receiver, strange...

    External Hard Drive Move Limit?

    I just started using an external hard drive setup and know there use to be a limit on times to move the drive between receivers. So the question is ....is there a limit to move the EHD between receivers? Both receivers are VIP 722 units.

I tried a quick reset (on-off 10 seconds) and then it came up with error 0521 problem preventing recording (or...

    722 remote code for Sylvania

    I tried 569 but still no go. Only strange thing is with some codes listed on Dish's site for the remote to try for Sylvania, some seem to not be in the remote. When numbers are entered and pound pressed then instead of 3 flashes of LED it just goes out and when check to see code entered with ##...

    722 remote code for Sylvania

    What I was really trying to say was it would be nice if the Dish remotes were programable or learning so basic commands could be done. I understand the manufacturer of the TV is more to blame (should just use the same codes like Sony as my one remote for a Sony VCR could control VHS, 8MM and...

    722 remote code for Sylvania

    It would be nice if the supplied remotes from Dish would be able to program them for at least the basic items! I guess that would be toooo easy or add to the cost!

    722 remote code for Sylvania

    :confused: I have a new install of VIP722 and wanted to know if there is a code for a newer Sylvania HD LCD TV? I did the search way with the remote and after 2-3 minutes it started with multiple flashes when pressing up button. All I really wanted was to use the on-off and volume buttons...

    VIP 722 -Resize picture?

    Just so I am clear the format is not in zoom or such. I am in normal mode stated in channel header box. The top of the channel box has the white line cut partially off where the 942 had a 1/2" of picture above box. The picture seems fine but I was wondering if like a computer monitor it...

    :confused: I just upgraded my 942 receiver to the VIP722 and now I notice that when the channel header is on screen the box is slightly cut off on the top (the 942 had about 1/2" picture above box. I am using an Mitsubishi 65" wide screen (rear projection view) if that makes any difference. Is...

    942 and OTA channel Reception

    This is a first time post (although a long time lurker) and have been reading much on this site forums. I am not sure if there was a software update for this box during the last week but for the last week I have been having trouble with Channel 7 (OTA channel freq 52) not coming in at all or...
