    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    With DirecTV, you have to use TVersity to stream from your PC to your TV? And- is streaming from PC to TV available with Dish Network?

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    So first step is to run cat6 through my walls to my bedroom. Second step is to get that adapter kit from monoprice, and that will allow me to run hdmi from my receiver in the living room through the cat6 to my tv via hdmi in my bedroom? So then, when running in single mode..both tv's will be...

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    It was my understanding that DirecTV had transitioned to MPEG4? More details? I watch a lot of SD either way, so if it's that much worse on DirecTV...that could be a huge reason to stick with Dish.

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    I always thought it would be a hassle to duplicate all my timers. I find myself constantly on my dvr deleting timers, adjusting timers from new episodes to all episodes, and vice versa. It would seem a complete pain in the butt to repeat the process in the bedroom every time I change something...

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    Because that won't enable me to record a show in the living room and finish watching it in the bedroom. If I had a second hd dvr in the bedroom, I would need to create a second timer on that dvr...that's what I'm trying to avoid.

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    Confused by what you're telling me here. Are you saying I should run an HDMI cable from my receiver in the living room to the TV in my bedroom? I'd have to run it through walls, and it would be maybe 50-60 feet. If this was possible, what would this enable me to do? I'm not a very advanced...

    What do you mean when you say "1 applies if the second room is a receiver (H2x for example), not a DVR (HR2x)" Also, what do you mean when you say you like having "watchable SD.."

    How sure are you of #1? I talked with DirecTV, and they swear the second room has the capability to pause live TV... And regarding #3, which DVR functions are you talking about?

    The multi-room extender was first announced at CES 2010...and it's still not out yet. It could be 2012 before we even see it. And when it is released, will it have the same capabilities as DirecTV's? And what will be the setup cost and monthly cost...

    Long DISH customer, changing to DIRECTV probably

    I have two HDTV's. One in the living room, one in the bedroom. I like the capability of my dual tuner DVR so I can record a show in the living room and finish watching it in my bedroom. However, it's down converting all the HD to SD when I watch it in my bedroom. What a waste of a beautiful...

    Going from 622 to 722?

    Is it relatively easy to back up my shows to an EHDD, then reinstall the new refurb 622, and transfer the shows from the EHDD to the new refurb 622?

    Going from 622 to 722?

    If they replace my current 622 with a refurb 622, how do I transfer my shows from the old receiver to the new one? Is there a way for the tech to do that, or must I attach an external hard drive and transfer it that way...is that even possible?

    Losing HD permanently? Possible fix?

    The letter I received indicated I would be losing HD programming..not locals. So I'm not sure locals are involved with this. I just want to know if I'm going to be losing HD some time in the future, and how to get the 6 new HD channels if I can't get 129. That's it.

    Losing HD permanently? Possible fix?

    You'll need to speak to me like I'm a child. Not really technically savvy with Dish Network so I'm not even sure what an arc is or if I'm covered by it. I'm in Tallahassee FL. And I need to know what to say to Dish when I call them back and ask them to fix my situation. Will 61.5...

    Losing HD permanently? Possible fix?

    I'm on 119, 110, 61.5 if you're curious. But I really don't want to lose my HD and I really would like to have access to the 6 new HD channels released at Team Summit. Tech says 129 is blocked by trees. Not sure if he tried any other orbital locations. What are my other options?

    Going from 622 to 722?

    So I'm guessing the 722 provides no improvements over the 622 than? My current 622 is kind of quirky and I was also hoping that a new receiver would fix some of the quirks. For example, with a lot of shows I have recorded...when you pause and then hit play again, it skips forward a second or...

    Losing HD permanently? Possible fix?

    Well the letter kind of indicated I needed to repoint my Dish or lose my HD channels. Doesn't this mean in a sense that if you're pointed at 61.5, you won't get HD channels some time in the future?

    Losing HD permanently? Possible fix?

    I'm in Tallahassee FL. Please help with as much information as you can give. I can always call Dish back and have them come back out if they didn't try every option.

    Going from 622 to 722?

    So thinking of upgrading my VIP 622 to a VIP 722 just for the extra storage. Since it seems that's the only upgrade the 722 offers over the 622. Problem is, I don't want to lose all my DVR shows on my current 622. Is there any way to transfer your shows from the old receiver to the new...

    Losing HD permanently? Possible fix?

    Ok so I got a letter in the mail a few weeks back saying that I would need to schedule Dish to come out and repoint my Dish, or else I would eventually lose all my HD channels. I can see I'm getting channels off 61.5, so I'm assuming that's where my HD is coming from. The tech guy showed up...

    Dishonline active on 622

    Could I use this: Newegg.com - SMC SMCWUSB-G IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 EZ Connect 2.4GHz Wireless Adapter Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2 - Retail to connect to the USB on the VIP622 to make it wireless? I already have wireless Internet setup in the house. Would this enable me...

    622 reboot problem?

    I'm really upset right now. Since my receiver turned itself off, I can't get it to come back on. I called tech support and they had me unplug it from the power strip and plug it directly into the wall. I did this, and the receiver still wouldn't turn on. I tried holding down the power...

    622 reboot problem?

    The installer was still there when it happened. He said the 942 did the same exact thing, and that I should just give it a while.

    622 reboot problem?

    No, it's not in a cabinet. It's just sitting on top of a coffee table right next to the TV.

    622 reboot problem?

    Installers just left, installed my new 622. They cover the entire Tallahassee area, and they informed me I am the first person in Tallahassee to have a 622 professionally installed! Wheeeee! :) This is my question though. The 622 was working fine for about 5 minutes when it just turned off...
