    Help going from two receivers to one

    In an effort to reduce my monthly cost for Dish, I'm investigating changing my setup from one VIP722K and one VIP622 to just one VIP722K. I have (2) HDTV's and (2) SDTV's that I would like to power. My plan is to eliminate the 622 and run all 4 TV's on the 722K. To do that, I plan to use the...

    Replacement Receiver

    I have a question I think I know the answer to, but I'd like to ask it anyway to see if I'm right... Last fall, I "moved" to Pittsburgh, PA, which is about 90 minutes from where I actually live, so I could see all of the Steelers games and so my kids could get PBS in HD. My 622 has been rock...

    "Moving" question

    OK, so please don't shoot me if this has been asked recently, but I just spent quite a while searching and couldn't find anything terribly recent.... With the possibility that Pittsburgh will finally be on the EA later this week, and with football season right around the corner, I'm thinking...

    Problem with online scheduling

    I've been using online scheduling since the beta phase with no issues. I have a 722K and a 622 both hooked up to my router via Ethernet cables. Recently, my 722K has been frequently showing as "offline" and unable to connect on the Dish Remote Access page. However, I know that it is not...

    1 HDTV to 2 HDTVs

    So I'm thinking of adding a second HDTV to my home in the next few months, and I'm wondering how difficult it's going to be to modify my existing set up. Right now, I have a 722K in my living room on the only HDTV in the house, and it also powers the SDTV in my bedroom. I also have a 622 in my...

    DirecTV HD DVR on an SD TV

    My parents recently upgraded their DirecTV equipment, and the installer gave them the most current HD DVR. They don't have any HDTV's in the house at all. The problem is, their local channels are showing up letterbox with gray bars. I looked in the manual to try and figure out what I could...

    Harmony to control 722K TV2?

    I recently upgraded my Harmony 550 to a Harmony 720 for my living room. Now I'm wondering if it is possible, and what I would need, to use my Harmony 550 in my bedroom. (722K TV2 UHF) I searched around, read about UHF and IR, but still came away very confused. :D So, is it even possible to...

    "Moving" question - OTA Guide Info

    I just got set up over the weekend on an Eastern Arc Dish, and I have a 110° wing dish for my locals (Youngstown, OH) in SD. I have no LoS for 129° which is where the Youngstown HD locals are at. I also have no LoS for 119°, which is why I'm on the Eastern Arc in the first place. However, I...

    Eastern Arc with 110 wing?

    So I'm not sure exactly what my question is, but maybe you all could help me... I've been with Dish Network for a little over 2 years. I have a 622 and some other single tuner receiver in my son's room (I don't know the model number). I have a dish pointed at 110, 119 and 61.5. I am not...

    722k availability

    Has anyone heard any more about the 722k? The last I read (from the retailer chat re-cap) was that it would be available in "a few weeks". I'm hoping that isn't like saying it will be available "soon"... :rolleyes: Also, any idea on what upgrade pricing will be? I currently have a 622, but...

    Need a dish for locals on 129

    So today's uplink report was bittersweet for me. Shockingly, they've uplinked all of the Youngstown, OH local channels in HD, but they're obviously on 129. I currently have a dish pointed at 119, 110, and 61.5. So how do I go about getting Dish to hook me up with a dish to point at 129? Is...

    Strange problem with TBS-HD timers

    So one of the "filler" shows I record is Home Improvement. So when TBS-HD went live, I did like I always do, deleted my SD timers, and created some HD timers. But I ran into a problem. When I create a timer on TBS-HD, the settings for recording default to "Once" instead of "All Episodes", and...

    OTA Reccomendations

    I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on what OTA antenna would be good for my location. Most stations I'm trying to get are within 30-40 miles from me, though there are some in the 50-60 mile range that would be nice to get also. But anyway, antennaweb says that to get some of...

    "Moving" for Pittsburgh Locals HD

    Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here, so please, be gentle... Earlier this year, I dove into the HD market. Bought myself an LCD flat panel TV and selected Dish network for my HD programming, and I've been very happy. The problem is, I live in Northwest Pennsylvania, just...
