Last night for some reason the PQ on the Tallahassee ABC HD feed got terrible. The SD feed looks better. The HD feed is very pixelated and blurry. Any other people with Tallahassee ABC HD noticing poor PQ? I've reported it to Dish, let's see what happens. And before anyone asks, it's not...

Well today it appears that the harddrive has pretty much failed. After an hour on the phone with DishNetwork, getting transferred 6 times to 6 different tech people who didn't know what the hell to do, the 7th person was able to do what needed to be done to get a replacement 722 in the mail to...

Oh, that sounds like a plan. Thanks. :)

DHPP? Is that short for leasing the equipment from Dishnetwork? If so last thing I need is more dollars on my sat bill. It's already high enough :( If I'm unable to procur a replacement drive I'm hoping this thing will hold on long enough till the new Dish receiver with the built in...

Apparently the Seagate ST3500830SCE 500gb is discontinued and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know if there is a new version? My 722 Harddrive appears to be slowly dying and I would like to try a harddrive swap before I fork over another 400 bucks or so for a new 722.

When I got home today from work there they were on 129, yay. Im a happy camper now.

You hit the nail on the head with that statement. The problem is that these local stations and the people who own and run them have gotten lazy and sorry off of the milk cow that is their current monopoly and rather than do things to try to grow their viewship/customer base, they take the...

Well today is supposed to be the day for the Tally locals to come online in HD. Dishnetwork.com shows them as available in HD when you do the address checker. Maybe by the time I get home from work they will be on. One can dream can't he :) Oh and according to Dishnetwork.com address...

It's not Dish or Direct's fault that you can't get what locals you choose to or however many you choose to. Thank your congressman or woman and their continued support of outdated, monopolistic laws and local broadcast stations. Man how I miss the days of having both the West coast locals...

My guess is they won't be available till tomorrow or Thursday, that is if they are still slated for going active this week as originally indicated.

I just checked that, and it looks like FoxFL Sports and Sunshine HD are both gone now, the SD ones are still there but the HD ones went poof, apparently they are only on 61.5. For me personally this isn't a loss as I would much rather have the Tallahassee locals in HD. I think I can count...

Thanks. Today I was able to set the new elevation and swing my wing dish that was pointing at 61.5 around to the 129 azimuth and bingo, found it, locked it in, check switch and all is well. So I am ready for my Tallahassee locals in HD when they drop next week. Getting the same signal...

Oh cool. I'll give it a try then. Thanks I can use my Dish300 that I have pointed at 61.5 correct?

They did, told me I needed a Dish at 61.5 to get HD for my HD receivers. So I complied. Anyway, so your saying that I should be able to spin my 61.5 Dish300 around and adjust the elevation and azimuth accordingly and pickup 129? If I do that now would I loose anything that I currently...

Your kidding right? We can't get 129 in this area. We have 119, 110 and 61.5. That makes no sense to put HD channels on a Sat that we can't even get. My switch to Direct TV gets closer and closer by the day. Finally was excited to see the Tallahassee HD locals coming to Dish, so much for...

Your correct, they are 8 foot rods, 6 feet apart, bonded by a single run of copper that goes to the Meter can. From the meter can only the 2 hot legs and the neutral go into the house as the codes here (not sure if it's a National code) don't require a ground wire from the meter can to the...

Definitly not a ground problem with my new house, I can assure you of that, everything is properly grounded with 2 ground rods 6 feet in the ground. The DPP44 switch is outside in a weather proof box mounted on the post that the dishes are mounted on. Anyway what I ended up doing is picking up...

D1000.2 will not work in my neck of the woods. Already tried it a few months ago.

So we are done with our new house and just finished installing a new 52 Sony LCD flat screen and a Visio 32 LCD flat screen. I setup my receivers, 2 722's and a 625. Hooked up the DPP Separators and ran all the appropriate cables to the DPP44 Switch. However I have come to find out that for...

So I live in an area where it's impossible to receive any kind of OTA tv signal, unless of course I put up an 80 ft tower with a directional antenna, which I'm not going to do. I currently receive my local channels through Dish Network but the HD signal for those locals aren't carried by...

Okay so I changed the ends, making sure to have the whit insulator flush where it should be and adding a little lenght to the stinger to be on the safe side and presto, working fine with a Separator as of right now. Thanks for the tips guys.

Thanks I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

I haven't tried using one of the separators that are working fine now, I'm almost scared too, lol. As for the stingers, I don't think that is the problem. The reason I say this is that the cable that I ran to the 722 with the separators is one of the cables I used when I ran two cables to the...

Okay so I have a little dilemma going. Just got a 722 receiver, this now gives me 4 receivers all dual tuner all being fed from a DP44 Switch using DPP Separators. Everything has been working fine. I got the new 722 a couple days ago and hooked it up, activated it and added HD to my...
