    Backfeeding a 722 - do I have this right?

    I need to add a 3rd TV in my house. Currently I have a 722 in my living room and a 222k in my office, which I'm moving to a bedroom. I'd like to use TV2 from the 722 in my office, but the section of my crawlspace that goes under the living room is nearly inaccessible (Dish installer got a nice...

    Braves not in HD tonight!

    Well, this is the first Braves game I've confirmed is being broadcast in HD and not passed on by Dish... not cool getting taunted with the "Available in high definition" banners! What the heck aren't they putting it on for, surely there weren't other HD games on earlier using the bandwidth!

    Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast

    Well the last thread I could find on this was over a year old so I figured I'd start a new one. Just found out that CSS will be broadcasting at least 6 SEC football games and 20 men's basketball games each year for 5 years, as well as other events. In addition to this they have: -Sun Belt and...

    Choppy video when recording on 722

    All, I've had a few intermittent issues with choppy video on a couple of recordings recently, but since both were from live sports being broadcast from halfway around the world I was willing to put it down to transmission issues. However, I have also recently begun to notice some choppy video...

    Viewsonic N3760w remote code?

    I can't seem to find a working code for my TV using the 5.3 IR remote for my 722. Does anyone else have this TV? When I had Comcast there was no code, D* had a code, so I guess now I'm batting .333 :(. Trying to avoid having to buy an expensive remote...

    What the heck is Dish doing with FSN South?

    For some reason, Dish isn't showing any of the Raycom-produced SEC basketball games on channel 420, they're putting them up in the alternates. The problem with this is that most of these games are produced in HD and Dish isn't putting them on an HD alternate. My friends with Comcast around here...

    Low signal strength on 129

    Greetings, I didn't realize this when I had my installation a few days ago, but the signal strength I'm getting on 129 fluctuates between only 40 and 50%. The signal meter on screen still colors this as green, but I'm just curious if that is an OK strength. I haven't noticed any issues yet when...

    Good install report

    Greetings, I'd been a D* customer, but when I tried to use their mover's connection service a couple of weeks ago the installer who came out said I had too many trees at my new house, even though there was a 3lnb dish in the yard pointing through a convenient gap. Not sure why I didn't think to...

    How much is included in basic installation?

    Hey all, While I've had DirecTV for almost a year now, my parents are thinking about getting it and they had a couple of questions about the installation process that I couldn't answer since I'm in an apartment. They have very haphazard cable wiring throughout their house, I doubt there's much...

    Only mpeg4 channels go out in rain

    Now that we're getting afternoon storms here in Atlanta I've noticed a problem that seems to mostly just affect the mpeg4 channels. Whenever it's about to rain, even if it's just cloudy, these channels all go out. The mpeg2 channels work almost 100% of the time when it's raining. I've looked at...

    Speed HD freezing

    Has anyone else noticed any problems with Speed HD? I get blocking/freezing (sound continues without problems) about once a minute or so during live events and seemingly less frequently the rest of the time. I can't find much information on this so I wonder if I'm the only one with this issue...

    Stuttering audio on Mpeg4 channels

    Hey all, My apartment was just upgraded to get the Mpeg4 channels this week. Last night I noticed stuttering audio on one of the local stations, and I just put it down to issues I know they're having with their audio equipment. But tonight, I'm having the exact same issue on SportSouth 631-1...

    SCD-4P52W makes noise?

    I just had DirecPath here to install an HR-21, and I was provided with a SCD-4P52W Dual Subscriber Unit to feed both tuners (no Mpeg4 hardware in my apartment complex yet sadly). I didn't notice until after the installer left, but the splitter "sings" at a very annoying frequency most of the...

    DirecPath?

    Hey all, I'm moving into an apartment in a few days that uses DirecPath for TV (although apparently does not offer the internet and voice services also available). I can't find much information about this other than the fact that D* is involved in the venture, and it looks like I can basically...

    Free refurb tivo won't load

    Hey all, been lurking for a while but I finally have something to post about. I got one of the free tivos in the current deal, a refurb Hughes 35-hour unit. After hearing about people getting busted ones I made sure to examine mine when it arrived, it was really dirty (looks like it belonged to...
