    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    I have a surround receiver connected to the TV. I get surround on every channel except Amazon Prime. I get no sound at all on Prime. Even Netflix works without a problem. In the beginning, I figured that it was a bug that Dish would work out. It's been many months and it still doesn't work. Can...

    Convenience of a Sound Bar without the speakers

    I live in my new motor home full time. I have an HDMI matrix switch to connect my Dish receivers and computer to all of the TVs using HD Base T. The motor home came with LG TVs and an LG Blu Ray home theater that powers the speakers built into the living room ceiling. The living room TV is a...

    Locals guide issue in RV

    So...I finally broke down and changed my locals on my account to San Francisco. I full-time in a motor home. I started in Seattle and had no problem with PTAT and the locals channel guide. On my way to SF, I changed locals once in northern California for one night and really didn't pay much...

    Dish 1000.2 with SW21

    I live full time in an RV. When I have a clear view of the skies from the roof of the RV, I use two King Domes to receive satellite signals for my VIP722. These domes emulate an SW21 switch when I run a check switch. When there is something in the way of the domes, I have a 1000.2 dish on a...

    722K and two King Domes

    I have two 9762 King Domes connected to a VIP722k. It is set for the Dish Western Arc (110, 119, 129). I am in Grand Junction, CO so all of the satellites are relatively high in the sky. The dishes/receivers work fine for 110 and 119. The receiver struggles with 129. Channels drift in and out. I...

    Timer not paying attention to maximum number of recordings

    I have a 722k. I have several timers where I have set a maximum number of recordings. For example, I record the evening news and I only want the latest. If I don't watch it, I still don't want yesterdays. Since I am a full time RVer, I have been setting Dish Passes for network TV since Dish no...

    VIP722 with intermittent HDMI connection problem

    Sorry for the long post. I wanted to get all the details out in front so I am including all the information I have. I am having a problem connecting my VIP722 to my Sony TV. I live in a motor home. The receiver is in a cabinet over the driver seat and the TV is in the middle of the coach. When I...

    Hartford Locals on Western Arc

    I am in New England for the summer and have a 1000.2 western arc dish. It seems that the Hartford HD locals are on 61.5 which is on the eastern arc. Is there a way I can pick up these locals using my setup. If I want eastern arc, what do I need to replace? Barring that, are there any locals I...

    Dish backing structures

    When I upgraded to a VIP722K in my RV, I got a 1000.2 dish on a tripod. The backing structure is the same one I have been seeing on all other dishesm except a few. I am seeing a 'Dot4 backing structure that looks like it has a screw adjustment for the elevation instead of a locking nut. I am not...

    VIP722K and King Dome 9704

    So I upgraded from a 211 to 722. I got a dish on a tripod and figured that I would have to learn how to aim it. I would use that when I was staying somewhere for a while. When I am traveling, I would hook up the King Dome to tuner 1 and only have a single tuner DVR. I got a coax switch for...

    No more DNS?

    I just received an email from Dish that says that they'll no longer offer DNS after 11/15. I am supposed to contact All American Direct. Does anyone know anything about this?

    72 Satellite for all programming

    Winegard has introduced the Anser. It finds a single satellite and, unlike other automatic RV dishes, doesn't switch between satellites. I am a full time RVer and DNS (distant locals). It looks like everything I need is on satellite 72. Does anyone know something about this that would prevent me...

    When I have to cancel Dish

    We are preparing to retire. Part of the plan is to sell the house and go out on the road in our motor home. We won't be cancelling Dish because I have a dish on the roof of the motorhome. Eventually, we will move into another home (nursing or otherwise) and eventually we will have to cancel...

    Tailgater/Vuqube

    Does anyone know which model Vuqube the tailgater is going to be? Will it automatically switch between satellites or will the operator be required to manually switch them?

    Problems with HDMI sound on Vip211 and Mitsubishi LT-40164

    I got a new LT-40164. When I connected it to my HDMI connection, after a couple of minutes, I begin to have dropouts in the sound 2-3 times a minute. If I shut the set off for a minute and turn it back on, the problem goes away for a few minutes and starts again. I have disconnected power to the...

    What's with short recordings?

    I have a 722 and a 211k with an EHD. Both of them do the same thing. Sometimes, for no reason at all, instead of 1 30 minutes (or whatever length the program is), it will record 30 or more 1 minute segments of the program. Currently the record is from the 2010 Olhympics. You can see the number...

    PQ 722 vs 211k

    I replaced my 522 with a 211k receiver and EHD. Other than my Blu-Ray player, which hasn't seen a Blu-Ray disk in a couple of years, the 722 was the only HD source for my Samsung LCD TV. WHen I connected the 211k, I was amazed at the difference in picture quality. At first I though it might...

    IR to UHF Pro Converter

    I received one of these kits. The way they address the UHF channel is different than the way the receivers do it (naturally; why do it consistently? :)) I have a hew UHF remotes from a DVR I am returning. Can I use them with the converter? If so, what channels do the silver and black tabs on...

    Hooking up a 722 in an RV

    I have a Kingdome in my motor home. I recently changed it for HD and got a 211K. When I ran a check switch, it found 110 and 119, but not 61.5. King tells me it's the receiver, but it works fine in the house hooked up to my antenna there. I want to test the antenna by hooking up my 722 and...

    Timers gone wild

    I have timers that consistently misbehave. Better Off Ted is one of them. Instead of recording one 30-minute recording, I get anywhere from 15-30 recordings that last from less than a minute to 3 minutes. When I call Dish support, I get the telephonic equivalent of a blank stare. Has anyone...

    ViP211K on ebay warranty

    I am looking at a brand new 211k on ebay. I checked with Dish and it has never been associated with an account and the rep said to purchase it. She also said that it would not be covered under warranty. I doubt that the seller offers one either. If something goes wrong with it, what is my recourse?

    Slingbox Classic on TV2

    Ok. I had been waiting for a long time to get a way to control TV2 with a Slingbox. I waited so long that when I got an HD TV and Dish 722 last year, I kept my Dish 522 so I could watch it when I travel (quite often for the past few years). I have 2 video inputs to my Slingbox Classic and I am...

    'Life on Mars' and 722

    I have a 722 and am trying to record Life on Mars. For whatever reason, for each episode I get about 30 recordings that are are 1 or 2 minutes long. Every other timer that is set is working properly. Has anyone seen this before? Other than watching the show as it's broadcast (which will never...

    White line down the side of display

    I got a new Samsung LCD TV and upgraded to a ViP722. I am pretty sure that the problem I am having is with the station, but you guys are pretty smart and hopefully can offer some suggestions on how to get this resolved . The local Dallas NBC affiliate has a bright white line running up the...
