    questions about 4k DirectTV

    I cannot believe I am still dealing with this nightmare. I got the splitter, ran the cable to the original DirectTV box. I believe an HR54. Also ran the other cable to the C61k. Ran the HDMI cable to the back of my AVR and plugged the C61k into the wall. When I go to the UHD channels on DirectTV...

    questions about 4k DirectTV

    My wife finally said it was ok to get a 4k tv. We went to BestBuy and bought a new Samsung. Put it in the back of my truck and brought it home. Got to looking at my Yamaha AVR and realized it would not do 4k. Went to the internet to find a replacement. $3200 later I am the proud owner of a new...

    OTA adaptor

    I live in Andover KS and our local ABC affiliate has been off the air for several months. Apparently the local ownership wants more money from Dish. At one time I had a VIP722 DVR that would show OTA channels with an adaptor that I think Dish provided for at little or no cost. I still have my...

    timer to record all games

    When I had my 722 someone on this board gave me way to record all the Royals games by using "Royals at" and "at Royals." It worked perfectly. I now have the latest version of the Hopper3 with Sling. I cannot figure out how to do a catch all for these games. Can someone give the slow guy a way to...

    setting up a timer for baseball

    Sometimes I feel like an idiot. I'm having trouble finding Dish Pass.

    setting up a timer for baseball

    I'm a Royals fan. Most of their games are televised on Fox Sports KC. I watch on 412-XX. It is very hit and miss as to what specific channel and time. How does one set up a timer to get all those games?

    Question about ESPN Full Court

    I live in Wichita and I have found it very difficult to get many Shocker games. The ESPN3 and Watch ESPN are for Cox customers only. If I purchase the Full Court package, am I still subject to blackouts? The Shox play tonight and it is included in the Full Ct schedule. Will I be able to watch it?

    722 DVR settings

    I have just discovered the audio settings on my Dish DVR. I have a 7.2 surround system that I have always thought underperformed on TV. Now I am not so sure. Should this be set to PCM only or Dolby and PCM?

    Hopper broadband question

    I have a Hopper and 2 Joeys. Came back to Dish about 3 months ago and everything has been working great until about 2 weeks ago when I noticed my Hopper had dropped it's broadband connection. Went in and attempted to reset the connection and it failed. Reset the network and it came back up. It...

    Hopefully I didn't screw this up!

    I just placed an order for an Onkyo TX-NR717 7.2. Fronts will be the Polk Audio TSi300 3.1 towers with the CS10 center speaker and the small sub (I think it is PSW110). The satellites will be the M10s. For rears I am going to use a small pair of Klipsch that I was using for satellites. This...

    List of local HD channels

    I am considering a return to dish after spending over a year in cable hell with Cox. When I left dish my local channels were not available. As I recall there used to be a list showing which locals were available in HD. I can't find it.

    I have lost 1 of my OTA locals?

    Thanks for the help. I checked and the station had not changed back to VHF and they had no help so I did what ripnbigc suggested and on the 3rd scan it worked. Thanks again.

    I have lost 1 of my OTA locals?

    I have a vip722 and I get my HD locals via an antenna mounted in my garage attic. In the last two days (I think) I have lost the ABC affiliate in Wichita. When I do a local scan, my 722 finds 7 channels like it always has. All my channel signal strengths are in the low 70s to 80. All except...

    Broadband Connection Problem

    My 722 gave me the same problems late last night (Friday early AM). Did all the usual things and no happiness. Late this afternoon I called Dish and the csr started going through the diagnostic steps and boom it was back. Very strange. What was the phone message about the new cards for the...

    Thanks dishNet!

    I was having problems with my 622 rec doing random reboots and losing signals. I called dish last week on Thursday and went through the situation with one of the tech people. I had read some of the older posts in here and I was afraid they would not take care of the problem. To my surprise...

    A question for you installers out there.

    No the ground block is down lower on the back of the house.

    A question for you installers out there.

    I don't know, but it seems to me it would have made more sense to run the cable laterally, parallel to the roof peak and then down the slope on the end. I'm not sure if that is clear or not.

    A question for you installers out there.

    Here is how the wire comes up out of the gutter. It wasn't full dark when he finished up.

    A question for you installers out there.

    I live in Andover KS and I have 2 reciever (a 622 and a 625) and 4 tvs. Only one of which is high def. I have had my Dish network service since early February. From the very beginning I had a problem with my hi def channels pixelating and then losing the signal. Dish would send guys from a local...

    Recording a PPV

    Is this true of all PPV titles? I was thinking of purchasing the HBO show on the 6th of all the Nascar stars running on the dirt from Eldora but I have a business meeting that night. If I purchase it and set my 622 to record it I will be able to watch it later?

    signal strength issues

    I live in Andover KS (67002). I have a Dish 1000 (I think) a 622 and a 625. I get my local OTA and I pay for a lot of stations ( I am not sure what plan) and HD. I know very little about the nuts and bolts of how this whole thing works, but lately I have been getting screens telling me the...

    reception question

    I have dishnet but in my area my locals are not available in hi def. So I put up a large antenna in my attic and much to my surprise, I was able to get all my locals. All the towers are about 20 miles away and nearly all in the same area. My signal strength is from a high 90s on CBS to a low...

    OTA problems

    I am not using an amplified antenna. I am about 23 miles from the stations tower. I will try restting the receiver.

    OTA problems

    When you say reset, do you mean unplug it? Is that essentially a reboot? I tried that and it made no difference.
