    Dumped DISH 622 and went with FIOS !!!

    I'm in same boat, what to do? Just the info I have been looking for! Thanks for the comparison. I have been a dish customer since the model 1000/4000 days, over 10 years I think. Really since about the first year of Dishnetwork. I have nothing bad to say about them. I jumped on the DVR...

    South Beach diet anyone? Pros and Cons ??

    If you loose the weight and heat health you may be able to eliminate the drugs, improve your BP, lower your cholesterol, minimize or eliminate the effects of asthma and live longer! Do this how ever it works for you. I can vouch for a low carb diet. I lost 65 lbs, my blood work came back...

    What set-up to go with? Sorry, lots o questions.

    I take back what I said, the existing 61.5 dish has "dish 500" printed on it and it has a 'Y' on the arm with one LNB attached, I assume I will just swap one LNB for another and use either coax connection. Not enough light to do tonight and I don't want to be offline for 24 this eve! Will try...

    What set-up to go with? Sorry, lots o questions.

    Thanks, I guess my SW21s go to the trash or on ebay from the look of the drawing. Also, it seems the separator goes to the back of the receiver, not on the roof. Cool. It also seems like the DP Dual output choice does not matter. OK, One last question. Really, I promise That picture shows...

    What set-up to go with? Sorry, lots o questions.

    hgow to connect? OK, I think I have gathered all the parts suggested. I hope I have the correct stuff for an install this week, or weekend. So, I have two new to me LNBs. The DPP twin has 2 coax, labled 1,2 and LNB-in. The one for the 61.5 sat has two coax connections. The separator has...

    What set-up to go with? Sorry, lots o questions.

    Thanks kstuart - This will certainly be cheaper than the DP34 route. One more question - Will the dish need to be re-aligned after swapping an LNB? I have never done a swap of an LNB before. I have tweaked a dish and found it to be a PIA.

    What set-up to go with? Sorry, lots o questions.

    Ah, but I do not have an HD set yet. Thats the rub. No sure when I'll take that plunge. Will the 622 support SD on both sets? In other words, will it downconvert HD to SD on TV1? Also, these dual output STBs. Will they work like my 721 now but from two locations or are there limitations?

    What set-up to go with? Sorry, lots o questions.

    OK - I have one model 721 connected to two SW21s with a dish 500 and a second dish pointing to 61.5. I want to add back into the mix my old 501. A bit of research has indicated a DP34 switch and a LNBF upgrade to dishpro. Is this my only option for adding another STB? Well, I suppose there...

    721 Problem w/ L177 Software: Long Acquiring Satellite Data Times

    Hey all my 721 has been a POS since the 177SW 'upgrade'. hey took my info added it to some kind of trend report and gave me a 2 week credit on my bill. I told them if it wasn't fixed in 2 weeks I would ask for another credit, will try that one this PM or tomorrow.

    New 721 weirdness?

    OK - This has just started happening. When watching a recorded program my usual MO was at the end of the show to just fast forward to the end, the 721 popped up the screen where I could delete the program. New behavior - When FF to end, the system now goes back to the list of recorded...

    721 switch compatibility

    That was my inkling. When I called tech to activate it they guy told me they are supposed to bump all 721, 921 calls to advanced tech. But because I was just activating it he said he would give things a try. I asked him about the dual cables required and he said no. I didn't want to pull my old...

    721 switch compatibility

    OK - I am conflicted, I have heard conflicting information. Once and for all - I will try and boil my questions down to be as simple as possible. Question 1 - Will a 721 work with SW21 switches? Question 2 - Will a 721 work with just input1 from a SW21? (Assuming no second tuner of...
