    Vip722K Remote IR/UHF Switch Issue

    So the IR switch is to use remote 2 on TV1? That's not what i wanted to hear. I have two IR universal remotes that I want to use and I was hoping to use remote 2 too program them.

    Vip722K Remote IR/UHF Switch Issue

    I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. I've been searching the forums for this issue and can't find anything. I'm trying to follow the instructions for switching remote 2 to IR but I'm having difficulty. It says to switch the remote to IR, select the System Info button on the...

    Vip222 TV2 remote with MCE

    So, I'm thinking for now I just leave the IR blaster disconnected and program it with the remote from TV1 just to get past the settup screen. Then controll them seperately. This won't work for contolling live TV but it least we can record shows this way. ...at least I think it will work.

    Vip222 TV2 remote with MCE

    Is there any way to get Windows MCE to recognize the UHF remote for TV2 on the Vip222? We want to use it for recording while keeping TV1 as our primary viewing.

    Solution for HD recording to PC?

    Even if it were capable of HDCP that's all it would be. At least that's what I was thinking. Otherwise your TV would need to be compatible with the dish encryption garys was eluding too.

    Solution for HD recording to PC?

    Hmm, I thought since I'm able to get HD through component to my TV that it would be capable of recieving the signal in HD.

    Nickelodeon HD

    The only other channel I insist on having is Fox Sports Northwest HD. I can't miss my Husky Football/basketball, even though they suck lately. Does anybody know if these regional sports channels will be available as part of the Turbo HD stand alone packages with locals add-on. I'm assuming that...

    Nickelodeon HD

    These new Turbo HD packages appear as though they can be purchased as add-ons to your basic "Americas" package or as stand alone. It would be cool if we could drop our America's package and just buy the stand alone HD package with the locals add-on to save some dough. Without Nick HD we can't do...

    Nickelodeon HD

    It seems like Dish has allot of disputes with networks. I would hope it's an attempt to keep our costs down but it's a little irritating.

    Nickelodeon HD

    Does anybody know if there are plans in the works to add Nick HD to the lineup? My daughter's favorite show is the Backyardigans which is on this channel.

    SD Receiver & Locals

    Thanks! I already knew that everything Dish network puts out is already digital and we would be largely non effected by the by the analogue to digital revolution. I just didn't know whether Dish was doing a conversion of the digital channels to cover the loss of the analogue channels. Thanks...

    SD Receiver & Locals

    So what's going to happen to our local channels if we're still using a SD receiver? Since the stations won't be broadcasting in the SD signal anymore I'm assuming they won't be available. Unless Dish is planning on sending out a downgraded version of of the HD channels to cover us. Sorry, this...

    New Equipment for 129 Sat

    Actually, we're getting our HD locals from either sat 119 or 110. Plus we're also getting USA, SciFi, TNT, ESPN, HDNet, and HDThtr offo of one of those 2. Did anybody else experience pixelation and video freeze on the ABC affiliates last night during Greys Anatomy and Lost? Or was that just...

    New Equipment for 129 Sat

    The problem with Directv for us is the channel packages are more expensive and you can't run 2 TV's off one of their dual tuner receivers. When you add the cost of the extra receiver every month to the already higher package price it's too much. Plus we're already grandfathered in with our old...

    New Equipment for 129 Sat

    We do have the space. This is the one I found. We could even go with Winegards largest dish listed but it doesn't say it's compatible with Dish LNB's. Winegard DS 2077 30" Dish Network Satellite Dish (DS2077) | DS-2077 [Winegard] | DS2077 DS 2077 DS-2077 Dish Network 61.5 international

    New Equipment for 129 Sat

    This is kind of why I asked the original question about the after market dishes from places like Winegard. They have a 30" dish that says it can be used for dish network. If a larger dish really helps the situation this might be worth a try.

    New Equipment for 129 Sat

    Okay, We need to upgrade one of our dishes to pick up the 129 sat for our HD channels. I've tried to point our legacy dish (18") with an upgraded dish pro lnb to no avail, no surprise there. Not even getting a blip on the meter is making me a little nervous but we get the 119/110 just fine so...

    Thinking of Switching to D*

    Wow, that seems like a huge oversight to me. The second tuner is already built in, why not wire it for a second tv? Unless they're just looking for the extra receiver fees. What a shame, I was really hoping to get out from under Dish.

    Thinking of Switching to D*

    We currently have Dish and are seriously thinking of switching to Directv. There is one last detail I need cleared up. I want to know if you can feed 2 TV's with the HR21. It has 2 tuners so I'm assuming you can but I saw some pics of the back panel and it's not labeled for a second TV out...

    Help! Can't Find Sat for HD

    You'll have to forgive me if I get the terminology incorrect, it's been a while since I installed them, but I believe we have a Dish Pro Plus Twin LNB and a Dish Pro Dual LNB. We have one dish tied into the other and 2 lines feeding the house. When I run the check switch it says the connection...
