    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...

    129 line of site

    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...

    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...

    Does anyone know where we can view a side by side comparison of D vs E hD? I mean the channels each offer currently in HD.

    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...

    How do you guys move then.....

    lease new equipment? I don't get it. For example. In order to lease a 622 or 722 that means that Dish has to come out and do an install. I am guessing that you guys purchase all of your equipment?

    Controlling HD picture with UHF remote

    Had a bad experience with tech support today. The guy knew close to nothing and put me on hold about a gazillion times. All I wanted to know was how to control my HD output with the UHF remote. My HDTV in the kitchen has it's 622 in another room. I knew that it could be done since I have...

    LNB question

    I have the LNB drift detected message on my 622 so I want to order a new LNB. My question is how do I know what to order. I did my own install from products I bought from Dishstore.net. I have what I beleive is a dish 1000+ and a Dish 500 getting 4 sattelites with a dpp44. Is there something...

    622 Reception Error

    Hi! All receivers are okay except my 622. I have a 1000+ and an old Voom dish getting 119, 110, 61.5 (HD) and 118 locals. My 622 just started doing this funny thing. It sees all the sattelites when I choose point dish. In installation summary when I run a test sat 1 is all red x'd out...

    More than 4 HDTVs in one household.

    This is what I will have when I add another this weekened to our new addition. I guess my only option to be able to recieve programmming in high def on all of them is to set up another set dishes or is there a way to have more than 4 feeds coming from the dish? I have a 44 switch now. They...

    7.1 heigth of speakers

    We are adding a new Master Bedroom and I have to have my wiring done by Monday. The drywallers then come out. We have 10' walls with vaulted ceilings. My Panasonic Plasma will sit around 7-8 foot high due to wanting to watch tv while relaxing in bed. This means that my front speakers will be...

    Going price for a 622

    I have one 622, one old sd dvr, and an old HD non dvr reciver all hooked up. I would like to get 2 more 622s. One to replace my old HD non DVR which is leased and another to lease as we just added a large room to our home. So I would have 4 recievers coming out of my 4 feeds from the dish...

    Dish 1000+ upgrade self install?

    How feasable is it for a guy who is pretty handy (used to do my own installs before things got complicated) to upgrade my dish 1000 to a dish 1000 plus. The tech put a dish 1000 on my roof three weeks ago and said I would get my Pittsburgh locals. Obviously he and Dish tech support was wrong...
