No I'm not sure why it won't up arrow. Mine will. But it really doesn't matter. Just get to the Sys info screen and follow the rest of the instructions using your TV2 remote. On the last step when you hit the record button it will change the address for the secondary controller whether it's...

Yeah you need to change that remotes address. Same thing happened to me when a neighbor got Dish. Get to the System Info screen. MENU-6-1-3 Use the up-arrow and highlight the white address # for Secondary. It will turn yellow. Press SAT and hold for 3-4 seconds. Key in a number from...

My neighbor across the street and two houses up got dish a couple of weeks ago and his remote was changing my channels. Not sure of the exact distance but the street-two house widths- and going through at least two brick walls-the range is pretty impressive. :D

Just to add something to all the other information here- you also can get the nag screen you described if someone is using the phone when the receiver does it's updates since it will fail the dial tone test-happens to me a lot if I'm on the internet when it does it's update at 3:00 am...

Thanks for the link-that explains things. I had noticed the guide scrolling issue just the morning before and wondered what was up. For those that didn't see it it was kinda convaluted but you could get the guide to jump ahead about 20 days-of course there were no program info listed but it...

I was up early this morning when my 322 receiver did it's nightly update- when it came back up it said it was downloading important information and to leave it alone (I'm paraphrasing here ) so I let it do it's thing- Well it went on for about an hour and a half-it would get to different...

Well I don't have a 721 but do have 522. But I might have an answer for you.. The 522 can be hooked up like you describe and you can use the TV's PIP to swap out between the TV1 and TV2 feeds. But the 522 has 2 separate modes-single and dual mode. In the scenario you described it is in dual...

I agree but when mine was installed about six weeks ago the installer didn't know either.He didn't know a lot of things. It would seem if an installer just spent a couple of hours on this forum they would learn a lot that would help them and thier customers. Such a shame :p

I also just noticed that this problem appeared after doogie had a service tech out http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=31894 Another thing that could be a problem other than bad/loose phone line is if someone changed the phone system setup screen-like changed from touchtone to...

Just a couple of things to add to Tophs post If the connection fails you may want to make sure the phone line hasn't come loose or unplugged.Unplug it and plug it back in at the receiver and the wall jack. If it still fails the connection test and you are using a phone splitter try connecting...

I think I might have run into your problem-but then again I get confused easily :cool: Here's what I found- 522 receiver Record Plus is set to record to TV2 If at TV1 and I'm setting up a timer it works properly-sends it to TV2 but if it's busy will send to TV1 But I found out that...

Well here's my personal experience-after about six weeks now I've had no major problems with my 522. I've had the audio out of sync problem a few times but just stopping the playback and restarting fixed for me. Every once in a while the picture pixellates for a second then fixes itself..so far...

You're probably right. :no

Yeah I've heard of those phones that work without wires..seems kinda spooky to me. Like some sorta black magic. But I'd be willing to try them out. I'll send you my address and you can buy a couple for me and I'll let you know how it works out..but seriously folks. :D I am posting from the...

Ok- I guess I can spell it out for a fellow texan. Watching tv in my favorite comfy chair and phone rings. Phone does have caller ID. But phone is not within viewing range of comfy chair. Have to leave comfy chair and walk across room to view caller ID on phone then decide if I want to answer...

Hey Now, I've had a 322 receiver for about 3 weeks now --no major problems except this annonying one. If I use the 322 to fire off a VCR timer and a call comes in while it's recording the caller id box is not the small one at the top of the screen but the large one that takes up most of the...

Just wanted to give the satelliteguys (scott and whomever else runs this site) and the ever helpful ( and sometimes pretty witty) gurus a thanks..you all have helped me out big time in getting my new dish network installation setup like I wanted-mainly just from reading other threads so I could...

Thanks guys..that's kinda what i expected. :D

Hey all, I am new to dish network-it will be installed friday morning hopefully. Moving from cable. Getting the (2) 522 receivers and will hook them to 4 tv's. I've read a lot of posts about installation nightmares and problems so i think i know what can happen and hope all goes well. My...
