    Another moving receiver in house question

    Thanks so much. That makes sense. I'm gonna give that a try. Just place the power inserter in the line by itself in exchange for the 622 that when removed makes my system lose signal. If u can follow that haha! Thanks. Hope it works.

    Another moving receiver in house question

    I have 5 receivers. 3 hd and two sd. Since my wife n I live alone this time of year when it gets really cold we kind of stay out of the one part of the house n live a smaller part. Too complicated to explain fully but our house is huge and we save on heat. Sooooo, last night I tried to move a...

    Pittsburgh Locals

    Dish tells me that the Pittsburgh locals are now exclusively on the 77 satellite. Is this true? I have a line of site to the 129 but not the 77.

    Oh yeah. One last thing. I have a single LNB dish 500 plus sitting in my garage. Can I use that in anyway? I could use three different dishes for the three satellites.

    129 line of site

    Sorry for the multiple posts but I was just thinking. I already get the 61.5 with the 500. So all I would need to do is get the two 72,77 with the dish 1000. Would that work?

    129 line of site

    Hmmm. Are u saying that really I need only the 72,77 and 61.5 for all my channels. I think the 118 is just international which I don't care about. So if amc hd is not on the 61.5 as the dish rep insisted is al lot of new hd on 72 or 77. And can I just point my dish myself. I mean will the dish...

    I'm in the Pittsburgh area. Dish added a bunch of new hd channels to 129. I have a dish 1000 with a 500 wing. It has worked great for years. I pick up 110, 119, 118 and 61.5. Wanting the new channels I wanted to have my 500 repointed but the tech came out and determined because of trees I have...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    Believe it or not I had gone through the same thing again. I am on my 3rd 622. Dish refunded me money for not being able to watch tv. I asked why they cannot send me a new rreceiver instead of a refurbished one and they said it was luck of the draw basically.

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    My 622 is in a constant state of reboot and the screen will flash purple and also I will get a white vertical bar that flash once or twice. But the 622 never makes it out of the reboot and will reboot again continually.

    HELP! MY VIP622 Died!

    This just happened to a 622 of mine. Then it happened to the replacement receiver as well! I can plug another unit in to the cable and get all signals and watch tv. I don't like how the replacement receivers are just refurbished old ones with problems. Any clues form anyone why it would do a...

    Stretch Mode on Panasonic EDTV

    Not sure if this is the place to post this but since I have a 622 hooked in to it I thought this forum would be okay. I have 4 HDTVs and 1 EDTV. The EDTV is a Panasonic 42 inch plasma that is a couple of years old. I recently had to replace my 622 due to the hard drive quitting. Since then I...

    Can the 622 read content on an old drive

    Just being paranoid I am sure but before hooking up a hard drive used at the office , when the 622 reformats it, does it have the potential to read it as well? I don't even know how to wipe a drive clean.

    Easiest way to switch external hard drives?

    I did a search and looked for a while but didn't find the answer I was looking for. What is the easiest way that you all have found to switch the ex hard drives to view different content on different drives. I am pretty certain that one cannot use a USB hub and connect a bunch at once right...
