I think I've got it straight now. I own the 301 and 322 and am leasing the 211 and 625 so I'd be okay whichever way I use the 2 that I own. They sure like making things complicated with all this :)

Thanks a'll....you've sure made all this easier for me :) Peter

DishSub, Thanks for that info. I guess that decided for me to use the 301 along side by 211 as that'll give me the 4 tuners. I hope they'll cut me some slack for the 322 in my RV. Not that E* or D* listens to reason, a case could be made that when we're in the RV, all tuners at the house...

It seems like I get one set of questions answered, it opens Pandora's Box on yet more :) I've got a DPP 44 coming and, being the neophyte that I am with this stuff, I'm trying to get a feel for what I'm gonna be doing before I do it and I couldn't find anything that fits my installation like...

Okay, gotcha. :) In the "for what it's worth" department, I've been looking at DPP 44 switches at eBay and, if you're not in a big hurry for the switch, you can get one for as low as $60 or $70. I could get one right away for around $90-$100 and thats NIB. The other switches are available...

One more thing.....are the DP44 and DPP44 the same thing? I know the 'DP' and 'DPP' mean Dish Pro and Dish Pro Plus but I don't recall seeing that difference when looking at the switches before.

One more after thought......is adding this other receiver going to mess me up with my RV set-up? I have a Dish 322 receiver for it that I bought and it's a 2 tuner model.

Thanks much, ya'll. Yeah, they're sure proud of that DPP 44, aren't they? The cable runs aren't that much of a big deal for me as I've still got all my wiring from D* and that's the way it was set up with them. Didn't I see something about powered and non-powered versions of those switches...

After looking through everything I could find here, and not being able to find it exactly, I thought I'd ask: First of all, my current equipment: Dish 1000, ViP 211, and 625 receivers. My scenario: I'm wanting to add a 2nd receiver (either a 301 or 322) to the same location that I have...

Mine came with a Winegard Square Shooter which I believe is the SS-1000, non amplified. It appears that whoever it was that told me the 211 receiver doesn't have a built in amp was right as there was nothing I could do to get the OTA channels, period, which I don't understand. The Square...

I tried a Radio Shack amplifier and it did absoltely nothing so I took it back and got my money back. I hooked up my old Voom receiver and am now happily watching OTA HD again though not pleased about the three boxes stacked up like cordword but hey, I'll take it until I get it handled another...

Thanks, Jim. I'm a good 15-20 miles away from the closest tower and 25 + from the rest. You wouldn't think that'd be the case being in the part of Alabama that's only 60 miles wide :) I had seen that preamp when researching all this mess and that's when I got to scratching my head about the...

okay, one more related question: I'm confused a bit. Do I need a preamp or an amplifier? Anyone have any ideas as to what would work best with a Winegard Square Shooter and E*'s ViP211?

Gary, thanks once again :) OSU-Thanks to you too. This is the first I've heard that and it makes good sense since what I can see with a direct OTA feed to my TV shows good reception and when I look at 'em connected through the 211, they look like crap. Learn something new every day :)

I got the $200 over 10 months and had to email them. They said it'd start showing up this month but I've been lied to before

Gary....thanks! So, if I disable the Dish local channels in local channel setup, the local channels I see in the PG...for example 003-00, 005-00, 010-00 should be the digital, off air ones? Between this and my Tivo issues, I've got all this stuff comming out of my ears lol

Like a fool I went ahead and took the local channels when I switched back to Dish from Directv from Voom (boy do I miss that one!) a week ago and soon found out that Dish doesn't provide local channels here in Mobile, AL, in HD. No problem, I thought. I'd just find my duplexers, dust off my...
