    Taking hopper or Joey to summer cottage

    ok thanks--so then if i buy a 211 ( assuming I'd look on ebay or something?), do I have to get that activated at my primary home first? Would I have to pay another monthly charge for that? I'd only use it at the cottage on rare occasions (a football game, a movie, etc). We would never watch...

    Taking hopper or Joey to summer cottage

    New dish customer here. I have a hopper, a super Joey, and 2 joeys. The hopper and super Joey would be difficult to move. However, the joeys would be easy to move and bring with to a cottage we use in the summer. There is already a dish on the roof of this cottage from an old owner. Can I bring...

    Help with locals/eastern arc question

    All our TVs are HD, wouldn't really want SD receivers. The installer said we have satellites 110, 119, and 129, if that helps. Chicago locals would be great if we "moved", but not essential. But not having any HD network channels would be a deal breaker. Are there other areas that we'd be in...

    Help with locals/eastern arc question

    Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I tried to search but couldn't find the exact answer. Just switched from Directv to Dish. Installer came today while I was at work and talked to my wife. He said that he would hook it up now, but in a year or so we would lose our locals, because we...

    Where's the edge?

    OK so for the last week or so the sides of my picture have been cut off, and i can't figure out why. ITs like I have zoomed in a little on the picture, but I haven't to my knowledge changed any setings. I have a Dish HD-DVR box and a 50" widescreen plasma tv. I looked in the dish menu, and i am...

    VIP722 Controlling 3 TV's

    not sure if this directly answers your question, but i have 3 TVs hooked up to my 722 box, 2 in high def and one in SD. I have one TV hooked up to TV1 through HDMI, one hooked up to TV1 using long component cables (so they both watch the same thing), and a third TV hooked up to TV2 via coax. It...

    Dish 722 Randomly recording shows

    I have had my 722 HD DVR box for a few months. A couple days ago, it started recording 5 or 10 shows a day that we didn't ask it to record. I had a DVR box a couple years ago, I think a TIVO, that had a "recommends" feature where it would record things the box thought you would like--is this...

    722 audio problem

    Please help me with my Dish HD DVR 722. Whenever we record something, the audio is just a bit off from the video, so the actor's mouth doesn't match up with their voice. We pretty much only waqtch HD, so I don't know if it does this in SD. I've never noticed it in live TV. Is there a solution to...

    2 Hdtvs to the 622

    I believe you can hook up 2 HDTV sets to the 622, one with HDMI and one with components. However, both would be considered "TV1" and thus you could not watch different channels at the same time with the two TVs (i.e. you watching baseball in the bedroom and wife watching hgtv in the family...

    Receiver question

    Wouldn't the box have to have the ability to have two UHF signals then? Maybe I don't understand how this works, but I need to have TV2 work via RF (that's the same as UHF, right?), AND need to have TWO tvs run off TV1 (one connected via components, on via HDMI). I know the two TVs running on...

    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    So bottom line if I'm getting a new 622, should I get a laptop cooler, or some other kind of fan. I read the first 15 pages of discussion here and my head started to spin. Thanks

    Receiver question

    i think i understand. so TV2 would be controlled using the RF remote, and could watch independant programming. The other two TVs could have HD programming, and watch teh DVR content, but not independantly of eachother. TV1 and two would need a line of site remote, so I would need to get one of...
