    wireless to get the $5/month savings solution

    I bought a cheap (on sale) Netgear N router from WalMart. I then installed the DD-WRT firmware which allowed me to setup the router as a wireless repeater bridge. It gets the signal from my main wireless router in the the basement and acts as a switch to the equipment hardwired into it and as...

    Happy after install

    Exactly. I didn't want to run an ethernet cable to the upstairs. I got a Netgear N router fairly cheap and loaded up the dd-wrt firmware and set it up as a wireless bridge. It works like a charm! Good idea. I just might do that. He wasn't happy with the previous tech's wiring work. He...

    New Receiver Cables?

    I just got a 722 on Friday. It had the red-white-yellow composite (with shielded vid) and an s-vid cable.

    Happy after install

    The tech showed up today to upgrade my receiver from a 510 to a 622 and change my package from AT100 to HD Bronze. I called Dish last week and eventually got the Loyalty dept and they upgraded me for free to the 622. The tech showed up with a 722. :clap The tech hooked up the extra dish while...

    Splitters, diplexers, backfeeds, HELP!!!

    One step ahead of ya. I called both companies and the installer is bringing the receiver. The dispatcher had no idea why someone called thinking that Dish was sending it. The current dish is on a pole in the back yard. I was just saying that I will do just about any diy work around the...

    Splitters, diplexers, backfeeds, HELP!!!

    I already have a separate cable feed into the man cave, so that isn't an issue. There are a few more OTA channels then ClearQAM, but not many so I can add that antenna later. I don't have a problem running the cables myself (my wife is a little more calm about that this evening). I was just...

    Splitters, diplexers, backfeeds, HELP!!!

    I've done a fair amount of lurking over the years and a bunch of searching recently. Mostly, I just end up more confused. Here's my setup: Dish RG6 comes into the basement on one end of the house and runs directly to the Man Cave. Local cable comes into the basement on the other end and...

    722 HD output

    My TV is also 720. So, my question is will my TV or the 622/722 do a better job of converting 1080 to 720? Is that even a reasonable question?

    Love the Loyalty dept.

    Long post - sorry, I'm tired and rambling. I've been with Dish for 8 years. The only service change was when I upgraded my 2700 to a 510. I've been wanting to switch from AT100 to HD Bronze since they first started offering it as a stand alone package. Like many here I tried to get it...
