    Where are the wiring/installation diagrams? Can someone post them or direct me to where they are located? Or can someone explain the installation and the variables?

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I am having a hard time wrapping my head around why Dish would even offer a 1 Hopper 3 Joey setup. Am I right in saying that in this situation of a 4 room system only 3 people can watch live TV at a time? How stupid is that? Why not limit each hopper to 2 Joeys so all receivers can watch live...

    Help with install - apartment / retailer

    I am a retailer as well. I second everything Claude said. I would ABSOLUTELY get a seperate contract signed. Too much of a high likely hood that this will disconnect before a year and we dont get paid. This is not worth our time. If we install on the roof without permission then...

    Dish Network in an RV

    Get the Winegard Traveler SK1000. You will not be happy with any other product. The Motosat is having issues right now. I have seen and worked with all the RV dish's. The Winegard is the best on the market right now. Pricey but worth it.

    722K Going Bad?

    Try swapping the out ports on the 722 and 922 on the DPP44 switch and see if it still happens. If it does then most likely its on its way out.

    Retailer Chat Recap: June 9, 2009

    I will be the first to ask. Why the heck are they talking about the TV2 IR converter in the same breath and slide as the 922. The IR converter makes using a sling box nice yes, but the 922 is sling loaded. Why would the 922 need an external sling box connected? It could be that the IR...

    TIVO vs E*

    I have looked up that patent # and I dont think that this relates to Tivo at all. Can you please give me the patent # again so I can read claim 31 and 61? You say that its the software that they Tivo does not like. What parts of the software? Please be specific.

    TIVO vs E*

    I have not had the time to read all 70 or so pages to this forum so I apologize for the question that I am about to ask if it has already been answered. What exactly are the features on Dish Networks DVR's that Tivo does not like? I mean exactly and specifically what features about the DVR...

    need info on connecting dish 722 rec. to tracvision system

    You are going to be better off going with the 1000.2 on a tripod. The Tracvision only has one LNB and can only pick up one satellite at a time. All of the dome dishes are a royal pain in the butt when it comes to any Dish Network dual tuner.

    HD to TV#2.....

    This scenario is what customer like myself are trying to avoid. We like having a universal hard drive that we can access from both hard drives. Accessing the hard drive from both locations is the key. I just dont see why they cant make HDMI on TV2 an optional thing if customers are willing to...

    HD to TV#2.....

    I think the real reason that they don't make TV2 HDMI is that they want to nickel and dime the customer by having them pay an extra $7 per month plus and additional $5.98 DVR fee for an additional 612 receiver. I honestly think this is why they don't make TV2 HDMI.

    HD to TV#2.....

    I have been wondering about this for years and have wondered why it has not already been done. I think the answer that they give is "that's not cost effective or efficient " Oh for Petes sake! Just do it or make it an option for people that want it or are willing to pay for it...

    922's Remote will never make it to market.

    The idea of removing the number keypad from the remote is stupid. I use that feature constantly. That was dumb and I agree with everything said.

    If you get a dedicated wing dish for the 129 you will not have any other problems. I had the same issue till I finally put up a dedicated dish for 129.

    No Dish Now cards at radio shack

    I hate to be the one to say it but by the time that you got done driving all over town you could have easily paid the extra 4.95 that green dot charges with the money and time that you would have saved in gasoline.

    Buying another receiver

    You dont need 61.5. A 322 does not do Hi Def. You only need a dish 500 for 119 110 unless your standard locals come on the 61.5 Also there are usually 2 outputs on the 61.5 dish if the lnb is a dual lnb. Take the free output on the dual 61.5 and run it to the "in" port on the DPP lnb...

    Buying another receiver

    You can do 2 things after buying the 322. Buy this from someone local and make sure the ROO is clear before you buy it. 1. Buy a 44 switch and hook up all receivers. 44 switches are not cheap. 2. Put up a second dish 500 with a DPP LNB. This is the most economical way to do it. Talk to...

    Globecast?

    The World TV receivers are garbage. I have installed about 10 to 15 of them for customers and have had to go back to the house for about 7 of them just to find that the box went dead. Some of these customers I have had to go back 2 or 3 times to reinstall a new box. The only good thing is...
