    Hopper 3

    Our current setup is a 622 and 722, each connected to a TV. So a total of 2 TVs. I like the nature of this setup, being able to watch live or recorded programming and record programming independently. Ideally I would like to replicate this setup with 2 Hopper 3s, but it may not be easy to do...

    Recorded shows disappearing on WD 2TB My Book Essential

    Recently I noticed that recordings have been disappearing from my WD 2TB My Book Essential external hdd. I recorded the Hell on Wheels marathon on a VIP722 and then transferred them to the WD. Today I checked the WD and noticed that all the Hell on Wheels episodes were gone. The WD is almost...

    External HDD

    Currently I have a WD My Book Essential as an external HDD for a VIP722. It seems they have been discontinued and replaced with the My Book Desktop. I'm considering the WD 3 TB Elements or WD 3 TB My Book Desktop. Is one preferable over the other...

    VIP 722 with UHF remote in single user mode

    I want to run a long HDMI cable from my VIP 722 to a TV in an adjacent room and control it using the UHF remote. I want the 722 left in single user mode so that the TV functions the same as the TV I am currently using. I won't be using both TVs at the same time. Only one TV will be connected to...

    VIP 722: No audio on one tuner

    Recently I stopped getting audio on one tuner. The other tuner works fine. So, if I'm watching something on one tuner with audio and press the "SWAP" button on the remote, any channel that's on the second tuner has no audio. Is it most likely an issue with the dish tuner? I haven't reset the...

    Are Hoppers quiet?

    Are Hoppers quieter than the 622 and 722? We have a 622 and 722 and they are easily heard when the TV is off as well as when the volume is lower.

    WD External DVR

    I want to upgrade to Hopper/Joey soon, but have full hard drives on a 622 and 722. I would like to transfer most of the programs on each to a 1TB external DVR. What's the difference between the WD My Book Essential and WD My Book AV DVR Expander? Does the My Book AV DVR Expander work better than...

    ViP 622/722 and Digital Audio

    I'm connecting a 622/722 to a plasma TV with an HDMI cable. I'll be using the TVs internal speakers. Will the sound be better than if I connected the two directly with a digital optical cable?

    Is it possible to transfer the shows from a 622 to another 622 or 722 directly, without the use of a hard drive?

    622 audio problem and no PIP or swap

    Audio Problem with 622 I'm experiencing a problem with my 622. Recently the audio has been dropping out and skipping. It's like audio hiccups, which occur throughout a program. I've noticed it most on ABC HD and FOX HD.

    622 and aspect ratios features

    I may purchase a commercial/professional model plasma (Panasonic TH-42PH9UK) that lacks the ability to change aspect ratios for HD content. How capable is the 622 with aspect ratios for HD? What modes does it offer? Can it stretch a 4:3 HD image to fill the screen? Thanks. :)

    Questions about antennaweb.org

    I entered my address and antennaweb.org showed that I would get 7 local HD channels. I then entered the addresses of my neighbor next door (two story house) and my neighbor across the street (one story house). Both of them would get 15 local HD channels. WTH! Is there a good possibility that...

    Questions about 622 and OTA

    I will be getting a commercial plasma TV that doesn't have an internal HDTV tuner. I save money and the picture quality is better than the consumer sets. I know that I can't get local HD OTA with the TV alone. Is the quality of OTA using a built-in HDTV tuner better than hooking up the antenna...
