    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    I would say your best bet now is to put the tv back and get it working at the old spot. Then disconnect UHF/ANT drops outside until you find the one going to the old spot. Then move the tv back to the new spot, and try the runs you have hanging loose. If you get it working at the old spot but...

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    The DPD2 is a diplexor, so I would start with that one. You could try putting your tv back and disconnect out side until you find the correct one.

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    I just thought of one case where you might have two diplexers at both ends - if you have two runs to the sat with no dpp seperator, and a back feed and an antenna in. In that case the one you are looking for would be the one not going to your antenna on the outside.

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    It still shouldn't need 4 diplexers. A diplexer lets you mix sat signals with regular signals. A 625 might have 1 of those at both ends, but not two. Are you sure you aren't mixing the DPP seperators up with the diplexors? Or maybe you have regular splitters involved somewhere?

    Changed rooms for TV2 DVR 625

    You should only have two diplexers if you have two recievers needing them. Simplest test would be disconnect the feed from the sat to one of the dipliexers and see what receiver drops. Once you figure out which one runs to your 625, unhook the ANT side of that one and connect to the 4 lines...

    Why 2 sets of local channels?

    You are really only getting 1 set of those down from the satellite. The 83xx numbers are your locals. They map them down to the assigned local channel number for your convenience. They can't have them come down from the sat as the local numbers as those are repeated all over the country...

    I want to go back to Dish but

    The problem usually is that you have to be within a certain distance from a CO to get DSL. It used to be 12000 feet, but I think they have upgraded that about 18000 feet now. Personally I have comcast for internet and they are charging me $43 a month for just that. Not a bad deal since most...

    Wiring/Switch Question

    I've inherited a 625 and a 111 from my dad. I'm in an apartment and my current setup is a 1000.2 with two lines feeding a 622 and 211 with the tv2 from the 622 running back to a third tv. I have a DPP44 from when I moved up into the apartment (the new owner of my house wanted all the satellite...

    Code for Olevia TV's???

    Firmware upgrade is for the TV. They pushed some new ones earlier this year for th 5xx models that enabled some new remote functions via universal remotes. So far they haven't done the same for my model. Sucks as I have to keep the real remote handy and can't just use my Harmony remote to...

    Code for Olevia TV's???

    All 6.2's or 6.3's here. None of them will work my 232. Which reminds me - need to go look and see if there is a firmware upgrade for mine yet.

    Lost signal from all three Sats

    Wonder what the traffic graphic for the web site looked like when it went down? I know I was here within about 5 minutes of it going down, and there was 3 pages here already.

    Recording Time: SD vs. HD

    You are correct. It's just a flat ratio and your numbers are correct and not mine.

    Recording Time: SD vs. HD

    You don't have dedicated space for HD and SD - it's just one big pool of space. So if (made up numbers) 1 hour of hd takes up 9 gigs of drive, and 1 hour of SD takes up 3 gigs of drive. Then when you record 1 hour of SD, your available SD space goes down by an hour, and your available HD...

    Dish ViP 622 and MCE/TV2 Splitting question...

    That I don't know as I've never run MCE. My current setup is a 625 going to a linux box running MythTV. In mine I just tuned the tv card to channel 60 and it popped up. Getting a picture was the easy part. Configuring the infrared so I could change channels when I wanted to was the hard part.

    Dish ViP 622 and MCE/TV2 Splitting question...

    The diplexer allows you to run satellite and "regular" signals on the same run of cable. It is used when you only have one run of cable to the 622 and you need to send the output to tv2 back out that same run. You still need a source for the the signal, and on the 622 thats going to be that...

    Dish ViP 622 and MCE/TV2 Splitting question...

    The signal coming from the DP44 into the receiver is an encrypted satellite feed and you can't use that anyways. What you have to do is either get another receiver and direct the output from that to your pc, or you will have to use either TV1 or TV2 coax output from the 622 to driver your PC

    Uplink Report for November 15, 2006

    Is this new? As far as I know it's still chugging away on a little p3 that I have in the closet at home. Last I looked it just required a 500mhz processor or above.

    Connecting TV2 output on 622 to a PC?

    Can't think of anything that would be different, but I have tv2 on my 625 going to a PVR-150. I have the channel set at 50 however and antenna as the source. Working fine. If you can't get it working I can see if I have a long piece of coax and pull tv 2 from my 622 to the computer room just...

    Skew needed when pointing a 500 at 129?

    Well I'm happy to say for right now it all looks good. Planted the fence pole in a spot I thought I would get good signal, and did a test run and got 50's on 129. Cleaned up the hole and planted the pole in concrete, and then after that dried dialed it in as best as I could. I'm getting...

    Skew needed when pointing a 500 at 129?

    I'm over in Covington, so my azimuth should be about 238 minus 2-3 degreess of declination. I've got a compass to get my azimuth in the general area, so I'm not that worried about that. I didn't know enough about how all of this worked when they installed the 129 dish, and came back out to...

    Skew needed when pointing a 500 at 129?

    If the rain stops here on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, then I'm going to try and pull the 500 I have on my roof and move it out into my yard where I think I should have a better view of the bird. Right now it's trying to shoot through some trees in my front yard, and even with two...
