    Dish and the AZ monsoon season Question

    I live in northwest AZ and I don't have many issues at all. I think I had one outage the entire time we had those huge storms roll through in January. Note I have a very clear LOS, as well. 110/119/129

    Install of 722 Sunday Question

    No, for purposes of an install an HDTV is not required as all of the 722's outputs are active at the same time. The 722 will down-convert the HD channels over non-HD outputs (S-Video/Composite, unsure about component as I do not yet own a 722).

    cable AND satelite possible?

    Yes. You can do cable and Satellite with a diplexer which would incur an additional cost of a Dish tech coming to the house and installing it.

    510 acting strange

    Yeah, I have this problem with my 508. I have software P368 and it IS very frustrating. In fact, this evening in the middle of recording a show that was on a timer, my box rebooted and lost the time I think; cause it recorded for about 30 minutes after and quit. The thing is, the show I was...
