    Intermittent complete signal loss and no guide errors problem

    So the problem is most likely the connector and not the cable itself?

    Can I swap a 322 receiver with 222

    Now I understand what was going on. I was trying to be sure to get a 722k if I could. I know Dish won't guarantee what receiver you get. I know some people just refuse to allow the installer to put other receivers in, but I hate to make someone come out here for nothing.

    Can I swap a 322 receiver with 222

    I recently spoke with a local guy about upgrading me and he told me I needed to use my original installer, Something about it being hard to get money from Dish. So that leaves me to deal with Dish or somebody online. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys

    Everything you need to upgrade to HD.

    I decided to upgrade to a 722/722k finally. Since they put the 6 dvr credit on my account I won't have to pay that for 24 months. I think I am going to get the 722k with the sling tech. I want to be sure that I have everything that I need for the upgrade. I want to use the ota tuner cartridge so...

    couple of questions about hd receivers and dishes

    I called my local installer but he said that I would need to talk to my original installer. I have no idea who that was, way back in the early 90's. I got dish because they offered locals with a upn station so I could watch ST;Voyager. Can you ask Dish to use a certain installer?

    couple of questions about hd receivers and dishes

    II am on the road to upgrading to hd. Since a 722k can not be guaranteed I wanted to know if you could change out the ota tuner on 622/722 for the two tuner module. The extra tuner would be nice for the fall so I don't hve to fight the gf for tuner space. Does the 612 require one incoming...

    Time to upgrade!!!-

    I live way out in the country and nobody is anywhere near me that could cause the problem. If you are looking at the guide it will just go crazy and run up and up the guide until I pull the plug. I switched remotes and the remotes channel and even pulled the battery to see if it would stop but...

    Time to upgrade!!!-

    I am thinking the 722 will be my best bet. In the future a whole house dvr would be the ideal. I want to feed the HDMI out to my living room tv and into my bedroom because they share a wall and I can split the hdmi output. At least I believe I can. I am thinking of getting a 211 for my office...

    R22 occasional loss of signal on tuner 2

    My neighbor asked my about his R22. It is having a loss of signal on tuner2. The loss of signal happens randomly and if he changes the channel it will stop. One day it will occur on odd channels and the next day even. It also does not occur consistently. He says that some days he has no problems...

    Buh Bye Charlie, Hello DirecTV

    I just move the late night repeating shows lower on the prioritizer list. This insures that the 8-11pm only shows will record ahead of repeating shows.
