    What does this mean???

    HDCP disabling the component output sux0r... I used to have a perfectly working SlingBox Solo using the RCA jacks, but had to get the Dish Sling adapter. Also, I was getting this message on SyFy while trying to watch The Wil Wheaton Project.... Anyone want to buy a Slingbox Solo and a...

    Longhorn, Fusion, NBC HD Puerto Rico And Others.....

    Not sure if I know how to read the uplink reports or if I was even looking in the right place... Is there a list that shows what channels were added and their channel numbers? Looking through the uplink reports I didn't see anything for these? TIA!

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    OK, got the replacement 722k from Solid Signal over the weekend (*ThumbsUp* Great bunch to deal with!). I did the backup of settings to the remote. Is there a way to restore the settings to the new receiver? I played around a bit and didn't see anything in the old one. I'm getting ready to...

    Is there any interest in old receivers?

    One other question... I've decided to recycle them, including the 622. Is there an account or security concern with leaving the cars in there, or should I pull them? Thx!

    Is there any interest in old receivers?

    Like the title says, any interest in, or market for old receivers? From my thread over the last couple weeks, I have a 622 in need of a HD, plus working 508 and old 2700 & 4500 (the last two model numbers might be wrong). I hate to just toss them...

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    *facepalm* Guess I got a bad 722k.... Two 311 HD failure messages last night, and a 760 this morning that required a reformat and DVR recordings lost... Just my luck...

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    Just a quick update. Before posting, I had disconnected/reconnected the OTA cable with no results. Ended up unplugging and reseating the OTA module to get it working!

    Well, I got the 722K today, along with the MT2 OTA module and the Sling adapter. Installed, got it activated, Sling adapter works great, but.... I disconnected the OTA antenna from the 622 like all the rest of the cables, I installed the MT2 OTA module, attached the antenna cable, then did a...

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    Just a quick reply to let you know what I decided. I ended up ordering the 722K from solid signal, along with the Sling adapter and the MT2 OTA adapter. I just thought it was too much time and effort to repair the 622 or upgrade the hard drive and we would still have a four or five-year-old...

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    A couple more things in regards to the Sling adapter... We currently have a Slingbox Solo... Does it stream HD or is it SD only? From the pictures I see, it looks like it only needs USB? Does it need external power? We've been through three AC adapters on the Solo - apparently they are...

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    Thanks all for all the good info! I just want to clarify about the EHD - would we still be able to view the recorded shows even if we go to a 722? I thought the content was locked to the 622? Also, I'm glad to hear the 722 is a more stable beast... We had an old 508 that was nice, then...

    ViP622 HD failure question and options. Need thoughts & suggestions.

    Came back from vacation yesterday to our house at 88 degrees. A/C breaker was tripped. ViP622 in the A/V cabinet had the 311 error for HD failure up on screen. Unplugged twice. Power button reset three times. No dice... After much searching here, Dish.com, and on Google, I've come up with...

    Request - HOWTO: for Roku/AMC

    Well, I guess that shows how much we liked The Killing! LOL! And yeah, just got the email about AMC being back... Time to cancel the season pass on Amazon... What other channels were included with that? IFC I think? What else? AMC is on 131. What channels were the others on?

    Request - HOWTO: for Roku/AMC

    Just a quick update on our experiences: - Dish sent the Roku out to our "service address" and not the billing address as requested. - We received the HDMI cable fine. Called about the missing Roku and they offered to ship again. I emphasized that it needed to ship to the billing address like...

    Request - HOWTO: for Roku/AMC

    I see a nearly 300 page thread on the Dish/AMC fiasco. It has devolved into a corporate greed discussion and how the same situation can happen with any provider. I would kindly request that nothing like that be discussed here. What I would like to document here is how to get going with the...
