    VIP DVR's without Dish Service

    I have a VIP 722 and a VIP 622 dish network receivers. I own both of them and I will probably have to cancel my dish service within the next couple of months. I was wondering if someone could tell me if these receivers could be used as an OTA dvr once dish service has been canceled?

    Not getting SD channels on Tuner #1 with a VIP 622

    That was it. I have no clue how only all of the sd channels were blocked. That was very odd. Thanks for your help!!!

    Not getting SD channels on Tuner #1 with a VIP 622

    For some reason I am no longer getting sd channels on tuner number one on my VIP 622. I can get them on tuner number 2 and I have a VIP 722 and both tuners work correctly. I guess I should mention that the programming guide is on All channels or all sub and all of the sd channels are missing...

    Distribution Port in the Vip 622

    I guess I should clarify my question. I have my vip 622 receiver in dual mode. I have TV2 set to channel 92 and TV1 set to 90. I also have an off-air antenna connected to the back of the receiver and both tv1 and tv2 can receive the off-air antenna just fine. I have connected the distribution...

    After two phone calls to tech support I finally used the online tech chat and got dish to send me a new 622. My hdmi works great now. there is definitely a hardware problem.

    Why not add the MTN?

    Our local NBC affiliate offered to broadcast the BSU vs Wyoming game this weekend covered by the mtn and even broadcast their commercials. The mtn declined due to the fact that they want customers like me to call dish and complain. I wonder what their advertisers think about the opportunity for...

    Why not add the MTN?

    I agree that it is not fair to have everyone pay for a regional channel, but why not have it available for those that want it. You can pick up any individual international channel, so why can't we pay for the mtn individually?

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    I spoke with dish today and they stated that there would be a new software update the first week of October that would resolve the HDMI issue. I guess I'll wait and see if it actually works.

    Superdish 121 vs Dish 1000

    I was curious if the SD 121 and the Dish 1000 were identical except for the lnb's and the metal bracket that points them and attaches them to the dish. I am considering swapping out the SD 121 lnb's with a Dish 1000 Lnb's. I currently have a SD 121 and a dish 500 pointed at 129. I don't care...

    Confused about dish types

    If you want globo, you will need a SuperDish 121 instead of the dish 1000. It is my understanding that since 121w is an fss sat you need the larger dish to receive it. I have a superdish 121 as well as a small dish pointed at 129 and have no problems.

I paid my 299 on 2/1 at 9:00 AM and they finally came today only to find out that the owned 301 that they forced me to send back before the 622 arrived couldn't really be upgraded since I already have a...

    Pointing SD 121

    I figured out what my problem was.. My dp34 switch is not working.... I connected the receiver directly to the lnbf and I got a signal for everyone.... I have a rental unit that was vacated a few months ago that has a switch on it, so I'm going to swap it out with that one. Thanks for all the...

    Pointing SD 121

    I was able to find 119 w on the 110 lnb. Does that mean that I need to move the dish nine degrees east?

    Pointing SD 121

    Thanks for your input... I live at 83642 and from what I can tell that means 95 skew 39 elevation and 170 azmuth. I have tried using all three to get a signal. My mast may be off a tad, I am on a flat roof with one of those platform type post assemblies. I was planning to fine tune using 121...

    Pointing SD 121

    I have been trying for a few days now to get a signal for a SD 121. I have set the skew and elevation to the settings on the dial and then used a compass for the azmuth. Does the azmuth setting include the magnetic error? I have even tried using a satellite signal finder and I optimze the...

    622 Woes!?!?!

    I called February 1st at 8:00 AM MST and ordered my 622. My original install was for Feb 11th. It was moved a few days later to Feb 28th due to the 622 availability. It was subsequently moved again until March 18th because the CSR forgot to add a new dish to my install. I am going to subscribe...

    According to CSR, I need 129, not 61.5 for MPEG4 HD channels.. is this right?

    I have a superdish 121 and know that I will need another dish and a dp44 switch. Is there an advantage to either 61.5 or 129? Which satellite should I use?
