    New Wally update

    My Wally has a general 'sluggishness' about it as well. I thought it was just mine. Not having the shutdown problems you are having, but you are dead on about the skip back function. I've reduced my TV watching to just an hour or two before bed so, to me, these are just minor annoyances.

    Privacy issue

    It gets even better. Once I was with my wife at a liquor store. I said something about Canadian Whiskey. When I got home, there were Canadian Whiskey ads in my feed. The weird part is that my wife was the only one with a phone.

    Dish Wally Reception Error (Complete Signal Loss)

    What are the other receivers? Are they something you could swap the Wally with to troubleshoot?

    Get 403 Forbidden on Safari

    I had that problem with MS Edge for several months. Clearing History wasn't enough, so I searched my Cookies for "satelliteguys" and found several. Deleted those and was able to log back in (finally).

    211z OTA

    I was thinking that, too.

    211z OTA

    Interesting. According to the 211z literature, an OTA adaptor was available. But the part number provided is the same as a Wally adaptor, which say aren't compatible with the 211 series. Maybe user pattykay has some insight on this.

    Leaving Dish

    I ask this question every so often - If you don't subscribe to locals will you get program guide info for OTA channels?

    54.3 Remote Problem

    Truely. I bought a 40.0 remote from an eBay seller many months ago and it just refused to pair. After fighting with it for weeks, I decided it was defective and was literally minutes away from throwing it in the trash. I decided to try ONE MORE TIME and it finally paired. I just hope it never...

    Lost channels on 129 Transponder 20

    Do you think this is going to be permanent? I do a lot of 'boondock' camping (211/Welcome Pack) and I like the idea of going back to a D500.

    Channel 100 going out of Service

    After seeing this thread I went to my Wally to see what channel 100 was. Never watched it. Hopefully they aren't also taking away the Weather Interactive on the older receivers. I still use that when camping and cell service/internet is iffy.

    do i really need a landline phone line?

    I have to admit, even when my cell phone rings, I'll glance at the TV for the caller ID. Old habits die hard.

    Wally receiver

    If the hard drive you used with the 211 is smaller than 500 gb, it would be a no-go anyway.

    Convert DirecTV single LNB setup for Dish Network

    When I first got a Wally, I used a (Dish) Legacy LNB pointed at 61.5 just to see if that combination would work. It did. So, I'd guess what the OP wants to do is possible.

    Upgrade required for continued reception of some International Channels...?

    I would call Dish and see what new equipment is needed.

    New construction prewire at roof...

    Harkens back to the "One and Done" days. "Sir, I'm not allowed to use your cables, (even though I know they would work perfectly fine)"

    Dish Reflector...Putting a 1000.2 Eastern Arc Eyeball on a Western Reflector?

    When I got my camper (several years ago), all I had was a WA 1000.2 and that's exactly what I did. With my 'older than dirt' Channel Master signal meter, I could get signal to very satisfactory levels. I have since acquired some EA LNBs.

    That truly is the best way to troubleshoot a questionable LNB.

    Best Picture Quality: Dish or Directv

    A couple of years ago we stayed at one of the Disney hotels where DirecTV was the provider. The PQ was very good, no argument here. But it almost seemed like 'Dynamic mode' was the default setting from Direct.

    Name the #1 reason you're "moved"...

    More (and different) stations from the neighboring DMA while MY locals come fine via OTA. (Interestingly, the 'moved' ION picture quality is better than the local OTA broadcast)

    Required Hardware for HD Signal?

    Not necessarily. There are many examples of people here (myself included) who are or have used a D500 to successfully pull in both 61.5 and 72. It may, however, depend on location as to how successful one might be. That being, I am/was hesitant to advise the OP to use a 'non-standard' setup...

    Since 77W is gone, who best to use?

    119 should give you back the SD channels you lost from 77.

    722K Failure; Need Advice

    I have swapped hard drives in a 625 and a 722. Both times it wanted to and did format the drive before it would work. It was from an inactive receiver (INOP) to an active receiver, so maybe that's why. I really didn't care.

    Do I need to return an old DVR after cancellation

    Since it seems your question has been answered and you will most likely be allowed to keep the 722, give your plan a try (when you're ready to leave Dish) and revisit this thread when you reach the point where you are unable to access your recordings. Inquiring minds want to know...
