    Control Infrared receiver behind solid door with dish Hopper remote.

    I use my old JVC stereo receiver to feed my headphones while watching TV on my Hopper. The JVC is behind a closed door in my Home Theater cabinet, which means I have to leave the door open to listen, my wife does not like for me to leave the door open just because I am old and lazy! Is there an...

    Changing from Dish Hopper to Genie WholeHome DVR?

    If I go with the HR44 and HR24 and 3 clients will the clients be able to access the recordings on either the HR44 or HR24? We seldon look at live tv, usually the 3 of us will be watching 3 different or sometimes the same recordings. How many shows can we record at the same time if we are...

    Changing from Dish Hopper to Genie WholeHome DVR?

    I am considering switching from my 2 Dish Hoppers and 2 joeys and Sling Adapter to the new DTV Genie HR44 and 4 Clients, assuming of course this system will be available within 2 months! I have no complaints with the current setup but if I switch I can save over $400.00 with a 2 year contract...

    My Joey 2 is incorrectly linked to Hopper 1. My Joey 1 is correctly linked to Hopper 1. How do I change Joey 2 to to link to Hopper 2?

    Computer does not show up on Home Media

    Scott, I don't understand why it works on 2 other Win 7 computers and not this one, does the fact that this is the only one that is 64 bit matter?

    Computer does not show up on Home Media

    I can't find any way to share network in Windows Media Player. I don't remember that I did it on the other 2. What is the procedure? EDIT:I just checked the Properties and it says it is shared with everyone.

    I have: Hopper 1 with 1 Joey and Sling adapter. Hopper 2 with 1 Joey. 3 Windows 7 Computers with Windows Media Player, all are accesible to each other using Sharing. When I go to the Home Media screen I only see 2 computers, pressing Refresh does nothing.

    Dish Media Home does not work.

    Written 11/11/12 I hope this is not information overload but maybe enough clues to help resolve my confusion. Windows Media Center is installed on all computers. We have 2 Hoppers (one with Ehernet cable and sling adapter) and 2 Joeys. iTunes is synced on Desktop 1 (hopper 1), and laptop...

    Hopper manual timer

    I'll be screaming until manual timers are available, I had 722's for years and depended upon manual timers. Frequently I will see an advertisement for a program that is 10 days to 2 weeks in the future and since the EPG only goes for 9 days I may miss recording the program. It is also invaluable...

    New 40.0 remote doesn't work.

    Thanks Garys, I never could find anything in the manual so I googled: To pair the remote to the receiver press "System Info" button on the front of the receiver then press the "Pair" button the remote. It works! I think someone on Satellite Guys posted it. I searched before posting but...

    New 40.0 remote doesn't work.

    I just received a new 40.0 remote to use in another room to avoid having to carry the original remote from room to room to watch a TV mirrored to the Hopper. I have been trying to set up the Mode buttons, when I press any one of the Mode buttons the button lights but no matter how long I hold it...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    People who do not have sufficient OTA local channels don't have any reason to complain about the delay. Those with lots of OTA channels and have been using 722's with a good local antenna are truly justified in complaining or not upgrading. First of all I have not upgraded to Hopper yet, but...

    DSL internet with no phone service?

    I just found out the company he is getting the DSL internet service from has to arrange with AT&T to use the existing lines, it is called Stand Alone service. This is not available in all areas. The guy he was talking to about the DSL service in as much as said "You don't need anything but a DSL...

    DSL internet with no phone service?

    My son has signed up for Dish and was told he could get DSL internet with a "DSL compatible modem" just by plugging it into a phone jack without having landline phone service. Sounds hokey to me. Any comments?

    Usb broadband adapter for 722 needed.

    I believe I will go with the PBA, assuming it may have some advantage such as speed. I have already convinced myself to connect the Dish receivers directly to a wall receptacle. Having both devices on the same "electrical circuit" confuses me, if the purpose is to eventually have all the...

    Usb broadband adapter for 722 needed.

    Sorry to take so long to respond, I thought I would get an email about replies to my thread, I guess I did not set up my Post correctly. When the Technician replaced my defective 722 he plugged the Powerline Broadband Adapter into the same receptacle as the router which is across the room from...

    Usb broadband adapter for 722 needed.

    I am too old to understand all the new wireless stuff! Dish Online suggests using a "WIFI Broadband connector" to connect my 722 wirelessly to my in-house wireless network in order to use my computer in conjunction with the 722. Specifically, what USB adapter works? I would prefer the short...

    To cparker: Thanks for the info, I tried the Ubuntu Live CD yesterday to no avail, however, I blame my weakened brain for the failure. I'll try it again in a couple days using your instructions. Thanks again.

    Copy contents of one EHD to another

    Copy contents of one EHD to another. To StevenD, I downloaded a 30 day trial of Ghost and installed it. After trying to set up Ghost to copy everything from the 750Mb drive to the 1Tb drive I realized my PC does not see the 2 drives plugged in via USB, not being very Techie I am guessing they...

    Copy contents of one EHD to another

    This is exactly what I want to do. A post on 03-20-08 by RandallA has all the good info but it is too old for me to post to: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/128984-how-transfer-recordings-one-ehd-another.html Are there any updates or precautions I need to be...

    Audio but no video.

    This has been an ongoing intermittant problem, probably only once a month since the living room TV was installed in Dec. '08. My 722DVR feeds a 40" Samsung LN40A500T1F in the Living Room and then a small Maganvox in the kitchen (via the Home Distribution System coax wiring). When I turn on...

    Can't use EHD anymore

    Thanks guys, I guess I'll have to wait a week or so until I get in an area where I can lock on to the satellite, however, before my next trip I will transfer a bunch of movies off the EHD to the 622 DVR receiver. I might even drop a bunch of the movies to DVD's, life is boring with no satellite...

    Can't use EHD anymore

    I am in my RV and cannot lock on a Dish satellite where I am and I can't relocate for about a week. For the past couple nights I have attempted to use the EHD to watch some recorded movies, I get a message that said I have to call in to get my EHD authorized (or whatever it is called). I have...

    Bad HDMI or bad TV?

    Can't move receivers because the lady upstairs would not want to move downstairs and vice versa. Can't more the TV's because one is a 56" and nobody here can move it, secondly, their is no place to put it if we do move it. As I said, there is no way to tell how long it will be before it has this...
