I'm sorry, but I do not know which receivers the system is using but can find out. They are not HD receivers. I have a headend system in the gym I own with 15 receivers. After a power failure, and they are pretty frequent in our area, there are 4 receivers that will not restore back to the...

Last night I noticed I only had 1 hour of the guide left on my 722. I came here and found that I needed to do a check switch to get it to download. I had already tried a power button and pull the plug reset. So anyway, does anyone know what causes this? Just curious really. As a side...

He's a contractor but seems to be top notch. 110/119 and 61.5 wing have been replaced with a 1000.4. He's got a Sat Buddy and is locked on 72.7 both at the dish and before the separator in the house. Check switch will not see 72.7. He's done a hard reset several times. I have only a single...

I'm having some issues here that I feel are modem related but Comcast disagrees. I honestly do not know who's right at this point. They're pushing their Service Protection Program to cover inside wiring. It's $2.95 a month. What I'm wondering is whether there's a commitment with that or if...

I got on board with HD back last summer. With the annual price increase upon us, I am scrutinizing my programming. I did a CSR chat at the Dish site trying to figure out why I was being charged $31 for a 3 Premium Package. What was confusing me was that I have HBO, Showtime and Cinemax for...

I upgraded to HD a few weeks ago. The installer added a Dish 500 with a single Dual LNBF aimed at 61.5. I have an existing Dish 500 that now has two Dual LNBF's for 110 and 119. He must not have had a Dish 500 I Adapter as he rigged it up with a Dish 500 Y Adapter. I didn't notice this...

Like others, I sometimes have a tendency to dwell on the negative. So I thought I'd relate my experiences today with an upgrade to a 722 - going to HD baby! I have a question at the end too. I called last Saturday and was given a time between 12 and 5 today, Thursday. Last night, I...

I had a problem earlier this year where water had gotten into the connectors out at the dish. I cut the cables shorter and put on some generic connectors I had and was good to go. Before the bad weather sets in, I'd like to put some good weatherproof connectors out there. I also need a...

A little background first. I'm a long time internet customer. Comcast is the only game in town. For years I paid $57.95 mo and was getting my TV through Dish. I got a call about six months or so ago from Comcast asking if I was interested in getting their Basic Cable service. It would drop...

Dish 500 Quad LNB 721 3800 We just got back last night from vacation for about 9 days. Turned on the 721 and got Downloading Info from Satellite or some similar message. It never finished the job, just hung there forever. Sorry for the vagueness, but I've been in a rush since getting...

I'm on CC autopay and the card is due to expire next month. My card says right on it that it's valid through the end of February. I got an email back on the 10th and a recorded reminder on the answering machine today. The snow is piling up in Colorado and they're getting nervous...

I have to make this quick right now as we have to head out for a while. Can a legacy quad take out a tuner (one tuner) on a 721 or vice versa? I have one of 4 leads coming into the house with no signal. I don't know at this point if it's the cable itself or the quad. By utilizing two known...

I hate to call Dish as I'm afraid of getting the wrong information. When the furor dies down, I would go with a 622 with one of the metal packages. I have no HDTV at this time, so this would be a considerable investment and I have to be certain I can make this work first. The problem being...

My mother has purchased a condo in which the basement is fully finished, including drywalled ceilings, making running the additional needed coax outlets nearly impossible. I see that wireless TV transmitting can now be done, but I am coming up with very little information. There seems to be...

My mother has moved into a condo with a fully finished basement, including drywalled ceilings. Until she's settled and I can attempt to run some new coax outlets, I'm wondering about splitting the signal at an existing outlet. The previous owners had the place wired up per their desires and...

During playback of recorded programming I see a very faint band in the middle of the screen. It appears occasionally for a few seconds and then disappears. It has a yellow/orange hue to it. I can't discern a pattern to its appearance, i.e. whether it's at a specific interval. Like I...

My grandson was over this weekend and brought his Xbox with him. I hooked it up to the front inputs of our 721. The video was all grainy and in black and white. I actually thought his Xbox was broken and was thinking of taking it apart to check it out. On a hunch, I hooked it up to front...
