    VIP722-NEED HELP- 1 receiver, three tvs?

    And remember that the other TV needs to be on the same TV channel as the other one. Mine is 71 or something.

    VIP722-NEED HELP- 1 receiver, three tvs?

    We are doing the same thing. I just have the coax from the TV2 out on the receiver going into a splitter where all the coax meets at the house, which then has two coax lines coming out of the splitter that goes to two bedrooms. All the coax was already in place so we just changed what things...

    Finally discovered, E* “turbo charge” changed my 1080i setting to 480p!

    It is but the software hasn't been rolled out everywhere yet. I am still on the 613 software and still have the problem. If anyone knows how to force an update that would help.

    Picture only in corner of screen/722

    I have a 622 with the same bug so I guess it is in the Turbo update they got. Was trying to figure it out for a couple days now thanks for the info.

    AT&T Demands Payment On $500 Million DISH Note

    If ATT drops dish from their bundle service we will just move it directly through dish. Then we would qualify for the cinemax deal.

    Dish on Demand on 622 & 722

    The 622 should have plenty of room to download an HD movie from on demand, the extra GBs on the 722 would just let you download more.

    Dish Network Earnings Call

    We love the Voom movie channels. If they go there is nothing similar to take their place. If this keeps up we will just downgrade to the HD only pack for the remainder of our contract.

    Comedy Channel HD?

    I don't see it happening anytime soon. The Daily Show and Colbert Report don't even have an HD system setup and most other shows aren't filmed or made in HD. There just isn't any reason for them to make the switch.

    Voom hd movies coming may 1st

    I'm not sure anyone knows exactly what they are going to do but the rumor is that they are retooling the filmfest channel.

    For those who would like to Track AMC14

    A bit of a scare but now I can go to bed. I hope it gets to it's intended orbit.

    According to Wikipedia, the atmosphere starts around 100km.

    For those who would like to Track AMC14

    Yeah. Was planning on getting to bed but at this speed it should be in the water within 30 minutes, or on its way into higher orbit. I hope its the later and I will wake up learning they were able to get it closer to it's intended height.

    OK, here we go -- Anything added today?

    The new sat launches on Fri so wouldn't they wait for that to be up and running. They did say a bunch of HD channels would be added by summer so I wouldn't expect any till mid April at the earliest.

    DISH Online---x22 version

    Working fine for me.

    A suggestion to Dish

    I think I am going to switch back to component cables for my 622. The signal quality will be the same for audio and video since I only need stereo audio going to my TV and it is only 720p. I have optical going to my audio receiver. It will let me use CC and frankly my TVs CC is way better...

    A suggestion to Dish

    I have the same problem. The receiver is hooked up to the tv with HDMI and the TV says that it can't do captions, I have to go through the receiver settings. I have a small workaround using my Harmony remote. I just set up a macro that presses all the buttons for me, but it still takes about...

    Extending UHF remote range

    I would say the six foot limit is a bit short, but it is probably for speed. Just know that the longer the cable the longer the time for the signal to get to the box. Also, for us, the B band seems a bit slower than the A band. Not by much but we could tell.

    Extending UHF remote range

    We had the same problem with our TV2 signal. All we did was change it to the B band under the battery cover and it worked great. B band allows for more distance but only works on the new receivers I think.

    USA Network HD is (not) listed on ad in USA Today

    While the add doesn't mention HD for those channels it does put them in a group of other HD channels, even ones that don't say HD on the screen. I have to go with guilt by association. Putting them with all HD channels implies that they are HD as well. Maybe they will be among the new HD...

    Dish On Demand

    Dish does have something like that with their dish online service. They have a bunch of movies you can download online. It is all PPV right now though. I am hoping they add free movies and tv shows and HD content in the future.

    point dish

    I believe the setup program has you put in your area code and it tells you how to point the dish, but you would need a compass and protractor to make sense of the numbers they give you. It is just easier to get it in the general area and have someone watching the meter on the screen while you...

    Why are the VOOM Networks so bad?

    I agree with above. We have many timers set for most of the Voom channels. We love the music ones the best but we watch the kung-fu and monster ones a lot as well. It does suck when the movies repeat so much, but many times we have so many timers that it helps when we have conflicts to have...
