    HD signal losing lock in the daytime

    Anyone know a current source for 129's transponder maps? I suspect I'm losing strength due to slight misalignement after a recent storm. Didn't put that one up... its quite an effort to get to it safely. Symptom is, HD for lowest frequency local channels drop out during the day... they...

    Ipod to 722?

    I loaded my photos from a 7 year old Casio, which worked. But when I tried to load my shuffle ipod onto my 722 it said too many USB devices. Not sure why that message. If I delete my photos, can I load the Ipod shuffle tunes on the 722?

    Call me crazy...

    Last month I replaced one of two 508's with a 625. I liked it so much, that I just couldn't wait... so I replaced the other 508 with a 722, which was the only deal I could get without waiting for a year. Well... now I love the 722 AND the 625 :). And with two users, and two TV's, in dual mode...

    722 HD SD option?

    Quick question... is there an option on the 722 that allows you to record a program which is in HD... in SD? In other words, can you select to record a program in SD if it is available in HD. This would have to be an option available at the time the timer is setup.

    HDTV power consumption

    I was about to buy a Sony Bravia 37" HDTV on the basis the rear projection DLP TV's have the lowest power consumption per square inch. I was somewhat surprised to find that the TV actually draws 200 watts. My 27" JVC CRT draws 127 watts. Ok, so who cares. Well I have to, as I generate...

    508 forced guide update

    Problem: When the system thinks it needs a program guide update, it locks up, forcing a system reboot, after which the guide is updated. I've assumed this is a software problem and therefore have lived with it. Both systems otherwise work well. I'm keeping one of the 508's so the wife can...

    NBR (repeat record function)

    A few questions to compare this function on current DVR's between Dish and Directv: 1. How accurate/intelligent is the episode selection? 2. Will either accurately pick new episodes in the correct order? 3. Some DVR's limit the number of record requests. Does the NBR request count as a single...

    NBR... upgrade or switch?

    Hi; Do any of the Dish DVR's have NBR that works reasonably well? If so, how do they compare to Directv's (for NBR quality). I have had two 510's forever... they work well, but I'm going to get NBR now, one way or the other... so tell me what you know. Richard Harper Morgan Hill, Ca
