    I am installing IR to UHF remote converter kit to my 211K. According to the manual, for old 311 receiver, there is a special slot under the receiver to install the IR extender (rather then using the tape to stick it in front of the receiver. Is there a slot under 211K for the same purpose? it...

    Question about Ethernet connection on 211K

    What is the real use of Ethernet port on 211K? Since Dish Remote Access only works for Vip622/722/722K, what is the benefit to connect 211K to broadband? Unless I missed something here?

    Question about the Switch Check results?

    I have two DPP44 switchs. Upon running Switch Check under Point Dish, I have noticed that one satellite (61.5) are showing "Dual" for all the receivers from the first switch, and "Feed" on receivers attached to second switch. I have see no difference as far as the reception from all the...

    Another 622 question........

    At least one of 622s that I have reboots every morning at few minutes after 3:00am (default download time). Is it normal? The reason that I know that one is I always wake up due to the sudden fan noise during the initial bootup from 622.

    HD resolution setup question again.......

    I am sure this was discussed in many different ways. But, it seems always getting confused at the end for many. Here is the example: For most of HD TV sets, the native resolution are 1280x768 or 1366x768. Most of manufactories always suggested in Owner's Manual the optimal for those TVs are...

    Here is a interesting finding.......

    I have SuperDish121. Just looked the "Point Dish" screen on 622 and noticed there I can get the signal on 118 (at high 80s), it will get lock, then in few seconds, it will indicate the "wrong satellite". Is this mean when Dish starts using the 118, the SuperDish121 will get 118 automatically...

    I have my OTA HD signal combined on satellite feed into the house for each receiver. One of the feed showing signal strength at 75 while others showing at 95 (I have all the same dish receivers). The only thing unique to this feed is there is a power insert for DPP44. My question is: Is it...

    A Complicated 622 Upgrade mission accomplished (kind of long post...)

    This was a case of upgrade all my "owned" equipments. Over the years, as a big Dish follower, I "invested" quite bit in Dish equipment: three 921s (one was replaced with 942 under warranty few weeks ago by Dish), two 811s and one 721. When Dish first announced "upgrade program", I was...

    Help with 622 installation question.....

    Finally, I got my 622 box and activated last night. The whole process is another long story and I will share with all later. Here is my question: Does 622 support analog OTA channels? I was unable to add one analog channel that I was modulated and inserted in my analog antenna. I have no...

    I am really confused ........

    I am currently have super dish 121 plus 61.5 (110, 119, 121 & 61.5). What is this D1000 really mean? According Dish, as soon as I got my 622, I should be able to pickup those additional HD programs (MPEG4). No mention that I need to change any dishes....... SO, the bottom line is what is the...

    Question about upgrade options......

    I remembered reading here about the additional upgrade offer for "owning" vs. "leasing" 622 from 921 starting 5/1. Did anyone have any update? I called today (the special upgrade number), no one knows such option and only thing available is the 'lease" upgrade........ Anyway, even with the...

    Just added Dish's Voom HD package.......

    Just got off the phone with Dish CSR. With all the surprise, the guy was actually nice and even agreeed that as an existing customer, I should also get the six month HD free promotion. He made the adjustment on my account. This is the one time that conversation with Dish is non-stressful.

    OTA HD question for 921 (& 811)

    With all of my 921s and 811s, I have noticed one thing in comment about OTA HD reception. One of my local HD (NBC) does not show the station ID like others, and this is the only one station on VHF freqency. Given the signal strength is in marginal area, it takes long time to lock in, especially...
