    "Moving"

    I had to have a receiver replaced and made the mistake ok hooking it to the internet. A week later I got a call from DISH that they were sending a technician out realign my dish since it was reporting low signal on my locals. My dma is one of the newer, and has no HD, so I have to ‘move’ to one...

    Stupid Person asking Questions

    I’m with you. I have a 612 and a 722. 722 will record 2 programs off Sat and 2 off OTA. That’s all I need. Last time I had to have the 612 replaced, they did not want the old one back. I now have a 722 that appears to work great that I was given. For some reason Dish did not want it back when...

    HD appears very compressed

    FWIW; An hour of OTA on my external hard drive can run 4-5 GB. 1 hour off sat will run .8MB to 2 MB. The .8mb will look terrible. Live sports seem to have the least compression.

    Did anyone get one of these emails or is it a scam?

    Not me. I didn’t log in. But, if I needed to, It would not bother me to use that login.

    Link appears ok. My Norton had no problem with it and it takes you to a login screen.

    Complete Signal Loss

    I would suggest you stop everything until you verify you have voltage going to the LNB. Nothing is going to work until you have voltage. I would not do a ‘check switch’, until you do as I think that doing so will wipe out the necessary info for the receiver to have a chance to connect. Just go...

    CBS and NBC are not available.

    Antennas have really gone up in price. 4 years ago I paid about 90$ for a good Winegard. About the same as the HD7698P which runs about $150 today. Works great.

    CBS and NBC are not available.

    I gave up on cheaper antennas and spent about $90 on a nice Winegard. About a 7’ boom.

    Vizio not allowing Dish Hopper channel scan?

    Is there any way you could have lost the connection between the dish and the Hopper? I recently had both those codes when the dish moved slightly durning high wind. Did you by any chance temporarily disconnect the RG-6 from the Hopper?

    Dual Tuner OTA adapter (AirTV)

    My Sony’s tuner beats my Dish OTA. My ABC station drops out on my DISH DVR, but not on my Sony TV

    Sony 65" X950G, any comments

    I got mine hung on the wall and running Thursday. So far, it is a great set. PROBLEM RESOLVED: (edit) (When the TV speakers are turned OFF, you then have a choice of audio output modes other than PCM. Will be a pain, as my wife does not like to use the home theater system and relies on TV...

    3 digit code for newer SONY tv's

    Just got a Sony 65" X950G and was curious if anyone had the 3 digit code handy to program the Dish remotes for a newer Sony TV. Thanks

    Sony 65" X950G, any comments

    Any thoughts or comments? I want to be current if i can stream any 4K in the future. Currently in a rural area with a 10 MBPS DSL line. Can stream Amazon HD and use DISH for most viewing. I see where the 2019 X950G has several features the X900 may not have had. Although closeouts on the...

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    I use the Hauppauge PVR1512. BUT, I am going from my portable hard drive, through a VIP612 receiver. Using HDMI cables. I say BUT, because I have recently seen the HDCP protection error message twice the other day just trying to playback a sports event on my VIP722. I could play another...

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    Not, really, maybe. I guess I should have stated that I am saving the captures as MP4's.

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    I have seen what I would have called a Moiré pattern, although that is probably not the correct term, in backgrounds of heavily compressed videos. I am thinking of inside shots with out much motion on something like Law & Order reruns on USA or TNT.. i.e. What should be a solid gray wall will...

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    Glad you asked. It is a 722K with L849 software. I see that Amazon shows it only works with a 722K or a 222K. I knew it had a knock out on the back for some type of OTA tuner.

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    Well, they are sending me another 612, UPS 2nd day air. I need to see about the MT2 OTA module for my 722 and carry it on the road instead of the 612. I wish they made a MT2 OTA for the 612 but I looked and it appears they never offered one. I have had the hard drive fail on two 722's. Based...

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    Crodrules: Thanks for the info about the MT2 OTA module that goes in the 722. Did not know they made such. My 722 did not come with any OTA module but my 612 did.

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    Thanks, I just wanted to be sure that using the 1080i off the 722 would not cause a problem with the TV doing all the up-scaling to 4K.. I don't see 4K in my near future, plus, as someone else posted, there is not much content. The reason for 2 dvr's is that one stays home all winter and...

    Dish and 1080i upscaling on 4K

    I don't have a source for 4K at the present. I can barely stream HD. I am in a rural area with a 10Mbps DSL modem. I just don't wish to wind up like the OP and buy a 4K set and have a poorer picture than on my current 2010 Sony 60". And regarding Samsung, any suggestions regarding other...
