Thanks, Matt: I sent you a PM. Rgds, Punda

Hello, I have been a dish customer since March, 2011, on a 24 month contract. Unfortunately, due to a job loss (and changes in my immigration status), I would have to temporarily leave the US, until I can find a new employer. What options do I have now, apart from paying the cancellation...

Sure enough -- i switched it, and it worked. At first, it said "complete signal loss on both TVs, and then it came back on. Thanks very much for all your help. cheers, Punda

Thanks folks for all your responses. HIFI: Based on your link, I think I will attempt switching the cables. Please find attached a picture showing the following connections: 1 = Cable from satellite dish 2 = Cable from Satellite dish/hub to basement jack that feeds Vip211 3 = Cable...

What if there is a wall jack already in both bedroom and basement -- will connecting the 211 to the bedroom jack, and basement jack to TV2 not achieve the same result ? Or should there be something that I need to change at the back of the 722? thanks for your patience in answering all these...

Does that mean I do the reverse and barrel connect TV2 from the bedroom back to the basement ? Thanks - PS

Thanks to you all for your responses. KAB: Since the basement is used mainly for games (ps3, Wii), we can sacrifice the SD signal from 722 there. On the other hand, I watch TV in the bedroom, hence HD and independent viewing is deal there. cheers, Punda

All the TVs in the house are HD. Cheers, PS

Hello, I have the Vip722 Duo that currently controls the TV in my living room (TV1) and my bedroom (TV2). The Vip211 is in the basement. I want to switch the setup around so that the vip211 goes to the bedroom, and TV2 now goes to the basement. The installer promised to come and...

Thanks very much... you both !! The strategy of pressing the <Select>/<OK> works perfectly .. Thanks - PS.

Thanks Bobby... The settings you suggested do indeed turn the receiver to sleep. But is there a setting to automatically turn off the receiver after sometime... instead of going to sleep. If not, then, there must be someway for the Harmony remote to Wake the DVR from sleep first before...

Actually, I don't have "On Always" -- but the "Inactivity" mode was enabled. So, I disabled that mode. I will update its effects, if any, later. rgds, PS

Hello, I recently got two Harmony remotes - 620 and One to control AV set ups in by living room and bedroom. The set up works, but the problem I have is with the two Dish network receivers - Vip 722 and 211. They often go to a sort of a sleep mode (after they have been ON for a while)...

Thanks Folks for all your insights. The landlord finally filled the application form from the HOA... after a flurry of email exchanges between him and I over what I considered undue delays and hinderances from the HOA. He explained that the association meets only once per month. Since the...

As I stated above, I complained to the landlord that the 30 days is unreasonably long and here is his reply: ===> As the Association Board probably only meets once a month, 30 days is quite understandable. However, there is still no guarantee they will give approval. -- Dish Network did not...

I sent the landlord the regulation - whether he picks it up with the Condo association is another matter. But out of abundance of caution, I will wait to get proper approval. I will hope that they can speed the process up, though, since I want to be out of comcast clutches ASAP cheers, Punda

Yes, I agree 30 days is a bit too much -- given that the dish will be installed in an exclusive area - the railings on my balcony. Since I am renting, I will forward the OTARD reg to my landlord who by the way is a lawyer. Maybe he can take it up with the Condo Assoc. Thanks - PundaSmith

Hello, I just signed for Dish through a local retailer. However, I live in a condo and the condo association needs about 30 days to approve the installation. What should I do in the meantime? Can I freeze the account? thanks - PundaSmith

FSC HD I see FSC listed at part of the Premier (most expensive) package... But is FSC HD available on DirectTV yet? It is a deal breaker for me too. thanks - PS

thanks very much ..... for all your ideas....is there any way to know whether HR24 & H24 are being used in my particular locality? rgds, PS

Thanks for all your responses. I am leaning towards Dish, and indeed, if i choose 2 HDTVs + I SDTV, I get offered the ViP 622/722 Duo Receiver. I have two questions about this set up: -- Does the Duo Receiver allow independent viewing of channels on the two TVs? Also, I realize that the...

Hello, I am interested in switching from Comcast TV to either Dish or Direct. I have 2 HD TVs, and would need DVR on the main (living) room TV. Basically, I need Fox Soccer TV HD and MSNBCHD. Below are the estimates of my preferred packages from both carriers. I would be very grateful if...

Also, you may need to access your need for the HD - Duo DVR Receiver: is it worth having 2 DVR Receivers in the same house - how about dropping the DVR on one? plus i second the other suggestions - drop the HD platinum + the service fees. all the best - PS

My Comcast bill (in Cherry Hill, NJ) area is: HD Preferred Triple Play = $129.95 DVR Receiver (1st TV) = $10.00 Digital Receiver (2nd TV) = $9.25 Rental / UCC Fee = $6.11 Taxes, Surchages and Fees = $9.01 Total = $165.00 I am thinking of switching to Dish or Direct because we don't...

Hello Give it a shot You should give it a shot. A friend of mine with a not too stellar credit (scores in the 500 range) got accepted for tier 250 two days ago, but she had to pay the $99 activation fee, in addition to her monthly fees - of about $60, which she will auto-pay. So there...
