I currently have 2 HR24s and 2 H24s using DECA for the whole home DVR. At one of the TVs, I have a WDTV Live media player that I had to run a Cat-5 to since all my media is on my NAS on the network. Is it possible to 'tap in' to the DECA and use the HR24 as a network access point? Then I...

All my coax runs end in one central location in the basement. From there they (original builders) only ran one coax to the 3rd floor to the master bedroom. If I wanted to put another box on the 3rd floor (making a total of 2), could I install another switch at that level? Is there any other...

I know you can only watch things on the DVR. But can you watch something currently recording? Say you start recording and then 10 minutes later can you bring it up on D*2PC while it is still recording? *just thinking ahead to Sunday football + sunday ticket ;)

Had my service installed last weekend and according to the installer they didn't send the right parts to hook up the DECA. So he had them ship me the parts. I have a SWM setup with MRV. There is an 8 port switch where all coax ends. 2 HR-24s and 2 H24s. After looking at a bunch of...

One thing I loved about the guide on my DISH receiver was all the HD channels (besides sports/movie packages) were not only grouped with their respective SD channel, but also grouped together. It started at channel 9418 and from there and up it was all/only HD channels. Since I only like to...

Disclaimer: This is not a way for me to bash one provider or the other. It is simply to give my impression of D*'s service/equipment compared to E*'s. This may be helpful for someone on the fence. Equipment: 2 HD-DVRs (HR24), 2 HD receivers (H24) Stuff I like: - Single wire technology...

I have two HR24s. The 1st one I went through the procedure for SKIP30 and it worked fine. The 2nd one it won't work on. I tried it with my Harmony remote originally with no luck. Then I went back to the stock remote and same outcome. Any ideas?

I am controlling my HR24-500 with my Harmony 890. When I hold down the FFWD button, it takes a long time to skip to the next tick mark and then to the end of the program. It works a lot better with the stock remote. Any idea what setting I need to change?

I will have the DECA connected to the switch in a few days. One of my receivers is close to the router. Would it be ok to run a wire to that receiver and then a wire from the router to the DECA at the switch? My understanding is if I have an ethernet cable in the back of one of my...

When I turn to a sports channel I'll get a popup that says scoreboard with the red button next to it. If I hit the red button it opens the scoreboard. If try to hit the red button a few minutes later it just makes a bong sound. Is there a way to get this at anytime?

Need to install a few barrel connectors but only have the normal kind you get at Home Depot. How important is it to use the 3ghz models they recommend? Example: F-81 BARREL CONNECTORS: 3 GHz HIGH-FREQUENCY

Scheduled an install for this weekend. 2 HD-DVRs 2 HD Whole-Home DVR DECA Not having my HD channels on Center Ice due to Dish's issues with Fox is just BS. Then sitting here trying to figure out what to do if they lose my local Fox channel on November 1 is what really set me off...

Dish is shipping me a replacement for my 622 that has died. What type of shipping do they normally use? Overnight, 2-day, ground, etc? I have a few other receivers in the house so it isn't a big deal but i'm curious.

Currently I have a 110/199 with a 61.5 wing hookup. They run into a DPP33 switch and then to three receivers. Because of the recent requirement to get 129 in order to get the newer HD channels, i'll need to upgrade to a 1000.2 My understanding is the 1000.2 is not compatible with the DPP33...

My current network setup is as follows. There is network cable that runs from my FIOS box outside, into my basement closet, and up to my living room (2nd floor). I have a wireless router plugged in there. In the basement closet (which is now where all my A/V equipment is for my man cave) I...

So i'm thinking about picking a SlingBox up. But I don't know which I should go with. SlingBox Solo or Pro HD. I won't be getting much use out of it and I don't think i'll be getting a SlingCatcher in the near future neither. But I do want the best picture possible. Is the PQ on the Pro...

So I just installed a new LNB (DP Twin) and a DP33 switch to my current setup because I wanted to add a 3rd receiver (VIP 211k). Since then my VIP 722 has given me the "satellite signal lost" error once yesterday and now once today. It says its searching for signal then gives me an error. If...

My DPTwin has a crack in the red circled area in the picture below. The Case is still intact and not falling apart. The LNB works fine and there is no problem with satellite signal. My guess is these units aren't water tight (at least not by using the plastic case since it does have a seem...

Currently I have DishPro Plus setup. (1 dish pointing to 61.5 with a line running to my other dish getting 119/110. Then two lines running from the 119/110 LNB to my current 2 receivers.) I want to add a 3rd receiver so i'm guessing I need a switch. Which one? Thank for any help!!!!

Looking to pick up a 2nd HD DVR Receiver for my work-in-progress 'man cave'. Where do you all recommend to get one? Site sponsor, ebay, etc..??? I'd rather not go through Dish since I don't want to be locked into any contract with them. Also, what charges will I incur from adding a new...

My current setup: Dish 500 Pro Plus. 2 dishes (61.5 + 110/119) 1 VIP 622 TV1: Living Room HDTV TV2: Upstairs bedroom Two cables coming from 110/119 Dish. Cable one is going into combiner/switch which outputs one coax to the 622 and one coax to TV2. Cable two is just sitting there not...

Bad storms today and my GF's flower pot fell off the deck and landed right on the arm (which holds the LNB) and broke it. This was for my dish that gets 110/119. And tonight is the Wings game which I can't miss. I checked my 622 and it showed all satellites were gone. 61.5 dish is just to...

Was at my GF's father's home this past weekend and had a chance to mess around with his DirecTv HD DVR (HR20). The receiver was super slow. Searching for shows was quicker in DirecTv's receivers from the early 90s. Guide was 'OK'. Channel Lineup was 'impressive' but doesn't blow...

Santa brought me a 500gb MyBook for X-mas, so now its time to set it up. Question is....Do I need to be at home in order to call Dish and have them activate the Ext. storage option? Unfortunately i'm sitting at work and thought i'd give them a call now and have it activated.

Anyone else having an issue with ESPN2 tonight for the Virginia/Miami game?
