    It was someone local contracted by Dish. I will inquire about it

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    Thanks for the info. What is the cost for a part like this and will Dish just send it to me?

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    OK, I have looked everywhere and I have not found a power inserter anywhere. What I did do was switch feeds coming down from the RG6 Dual cable, connected to the switch up by the dish. Once I did, the 722 now works just fine. Should I still be concerned about no power inserter?

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    Thanks for all the info. I did not find an inserter anywhere around the Dish, the switch or in the house at all. I switched the two feeds coming from the dual RG6 cable coming from the dish/switch. That did the trick

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    Thank you for the information. I am thinking the only place this inserter could be is up or near the Dish itself. I have seen the DPP44 switch from looking at your diagram. I will check that tomorrow.

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    VIP 722 in use. I disconnected VIP 222 as I longer need it. I have the latest Dish 1000. I am not sure about switches and the like. I think it has 4 LNBs perhaps

    Disconnnecting one of my STB

    I am sending one of my receivers back as I do not need it anymore. Anyway, when I disconnect it, I lose satellite channels on the other and itsits at the screen telling me I need to acquire satellites but it never does. I plug the thing back in and everything is fine. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

    Dish Cancellation

    I am curious as to how they (ATT/Dish) will react when I cancel and tell them that I have switched to Uverse? Did they mention to send your LNBs back as well? Or just the receivers?

    Roll Out for Uverse In South Florida?

    Had it installed on Saturday in Illinois. Very clean nice install. I rather like it along with the 10MB internet service. I know ppl are talking about quality for HD but honestly it does not look bad, at leas to me. And by no means am I an expert. Install was quick on my side although I...

    Dish Cancellation

    Well I did not go the other satellite dark side but the uverse dark side. I was a mere 200 feet in actually length from the VRAD plus I also work for a certain telecommunications corp.

    Dish Cancellation

    I am in the process of cancellation of Dish. My question is this. Once cancelled, what will happen next? With the receivers? The physical Dish itself? The cable they installed? Thanks

    What's YOUR tipping point?

    I have heard rumblings that if you are ATT Dish and you have option of u-verse and it may be what you want, ATT will send you Visa Cards in the amount of your ETF. Not sure if this is confirmed or not OR even if someone would want uverse. Besides it has very limited release but I thought I...

    vip222

    I have a problem that my TV2 cannot autotune for a reminder with the VIP222. When I set up from the TV2 remote it puts the autotune on TV1. I spoke wth Tech Support and apparently it is an "issue" that the engineering department is working on. This plays havoc with my tv tuner on my computer...

    Auto Tune with VIP 222

    I started the thread and I guess I will end it. I spoke with CSR and he eluded that this is a growing problem with the Vip 222 and it seems to be a software issue. Engineers are working on this and hope to have a fix. I guess my question is how long do fixes general take? I know in my line of...

    Auto Tune with VIP 222

    Sorry to bug but could I flip this around and ask if anyone can verify for me. Basically it is possible to set up autotuner on TV2 for their receiver, specifically vip 222. Thanks

    Auto Tune with VIP 222

    Did not know if anyone had any ideas. Still not able to set timer for TV2 and when I say timer, I mean auto tune timer. Here is a good one. I got on chat with Dish technical support and explained my issue. Here is their response to my problems. (04) Jessie S: I am sorry. As VIP 222 is...

    Auto Tune with VIP 222

    Weird issue here. I set up auto tune times on my TV2 but the times always show up on TV1. It does work correctlybut the display is on TV1 and not TV2. I have not found any place to set a preference or why it may be using only TV1? I am setting them from the TV2 remote. Thanks

    Dish Rate Increases

    I noticed the increase on my bill this month and the below verbiage was included on my ATT bill. I have the 250 package. In my case, that package increased $10. Is that correct? Maybe I missed something. I thought I heard about increases but 10 bucks? Wow. Effective with the February...

    VIP 222 Issue

    I did think heat may have been the issue. I amgoing to open it up around the 222 and see if that may solve the problem. It is in an enclosed cabinet.

    VIP 222 Issue

    I have a reoccurring problem on my VIP 222. Many times it will freeze the video screen on a show. The audio will continue to work however if I go to change channels, all I get is blank screen but the audio continues to work. I have two tuners and it will happen to both televisions but not at...
