Thanks for the info. That's what I was afraid of.

Saturday when I pressed the DVR button to watch a recorded program, I got a popup that said "Error 024, Unable to access this function at this time" or something similar. Went to the guide and tried to set a timer to record a future program, got the same thing. Reset the receiver by holding the...

Lincoln/Kearney/Hastings, NE is uplinked but not available as well.

This is ABC Channel 8 out of Lincoln that is included in the Lincoln/Kearney/Hastings DMA. It's never really made sense to me that Lincoln doesn't get Omaha's stations since it's only 45 miles or so. Lincoln gets ABC out of Lincoln (channel 8) and ABC out of Kearney (135 miles), Fox out of...

I have a VIP 722 and a 625 receiver. If I switch to the HD only package without upgrading my 625 receiver, am I correct in assuming that I will not receive the SD equivalents of my HD channels on my 625? Lisa

My OTA signal is substantially better when it's hooked directly to the TV as well. I pick up 3 PBS channels OTA. The signal strength when connected through my 722 on all 3 is only 58. When connected directly to the TV, it's 98-100. I split the OTA cable so I have a line to the 722 and directly...

Channel 75? I noticed a new channel last night as I was scrolling the guide. Channel 75, listed as "HIDEF". The "info" says something like "Local channels in HD are now available in your area. Tune in for more info." When I try to tune in, it tells me that channel is not available in my...

Lincoln! Woohoo! :D

Woohoo! Omaha in June...although taking this with a really big grain of salt...still not my local market, but at least it's in the same state. I won't have to "live" in Kansas anymore. :D Oh wait...I'd have to see 61.5, wouldn't I....

Woooofrakkinhooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *does a little Snoopy dance* :D

I haven't switched yet, but D* is supposed to light up my HD locals in May, and they aren't even a dot on E*'s map for this year. *If* D* lights my locals as scheduled, and E* still hasn't made SciFi available, it will be very difficult for me to stay. I've been an E* subscriber for 5 years...I...

Who needs PPV? I have Netflix.

I use a Harmony 880 with my Vip722 and it works perfectly.

Thanks, Jared. There would be no wall fishing involved. The current cable from the antenna (which is RG6) runs along the outside of the house tucked up in the siding and in through an exterior wall behind the fridge, so I'm assuming the installer could just unhook that cable at the source and...

Hooking it up myself would mean getting on a steep roof...something I can't do. Might get the ex to give it a try. Probably easier to just have the local installer come out and do it...hence the question about the charge.

At some point before the analog OTA signal goes away, I will have to have an installer come out and hook up my kitchen TV to an extra receiver I have. Does anyone know what the charge will be to do this? No complicated cable runs or anything. I'm assuming they will just follow the line from...

This female *definitely* knows the difference!

The receivers are supposed to get SD locals OTA? How does *that* work? I'm getting my HD locals (what few there are of them) but I would rather have the SD locals and get *all* my locals.

In order to get the HDs, you need to be able to see 129. The SD locals are spotbeam on 110 according to Digi.

Digi, 110 TP 18 is locked and green at 46 signal strength on my 722. Is this enough for me to pull in the KC HDs and SD locals? Will my 625 pick up the KC SD locals? Thanks!!

Nope. I am one county to the west. ARGH! I'll check TP 18 when I get home. Thanks, Digi!

I've been reading and studying this thread and researching my "moving" options as well, as living in the middle of nowhere (Hastings/Kearney, NE area) I hold out NO hope of getting local HD any time soon, and I can only pick up CBS OTA in HD. If I understand you all correctly, I'm seeing 110...

Thanks! I tried searching, but I think I was too specific. Was searching for "vip 722 rebate form".

When I called to upgrade my receiver to a 722, the CSR said the installer should leave the $100 rebate form, if he didn't I could download it from the website. Of course, the installer forgot to leave it and I forgot to ask. Now I can't find the rebate form on the website. Does anyone have a...

Thanks for the info, everyone. It appears this is a common problem with this receiver. For now, I have a small fan hung on the wall behind the TV stand blowing through the space where the receiver sits. Might call Dish and see what they say about it, although I probably already know the answer.
