    Dish's New Internet Offering

    Watch out if you are using VIOP, like Vonage and switch to Sat Broadband. The lag times make for very difficult conversations on the VOIP.

    Signal Strength in Mexico

    Just got back to the East Cape, and first antenna I hooked my Birdog up to showed almost double signal strength. I have been connected to 10 different antennas and they are all just the same, double meter strength. This is on Sat 119. I am sure the earths crust did not bulge and place Baja...

    Recorded program search reverse

    When we use the fast reverse, the speed is too fast! Just a touch of the reverse gets one a long way back into the program. FWD is good and can be selected as 4x etc. How does one change how fast it goes in reverse? We spend time trying to get back to the item we wanted to see. Seems like 'back'...

    Why No Book

    This is a laugh, I bought a Pentax camera, downloaded the manual and printed, and printed, and printed, must have been 300 pages! Good lesson, never again! Best to use the menu. T.M.I.

    VIP 722k with Legacy LNBs?

    Dish Pro LNB's and a DP 34 with two lines to the receiver would be the best, cheapest route. You need to post present antennas, if you have three dishes the DP34 will do the trick. Dish 500 is pretty simple, upgrade to a DPP twin and use a DP dual on second antenna, one cable to receiver and use...

    922 remote less range

    Not sure what they are talking about! So use a slip on type of RG-6 and at the end where you need to connect the small factory antenna you will have a female! Sure you can slip in a double male, but then you have the wrong threads to connect to the antenna. The antenna needs to be screwed all...

    TV2 UHF Antenna

    Push on connector is a great idea, I will try it this morning, for longer runs the ghetto Idea could work too. Thanks guys, I am sure Dish will come up with a better crossover connector some day. There must be something different about the 922 antenna, could it also do WiFi?

    TV2 UHF Antenna

    Need to extend the UHF range of the 922 for TV2. Too far to second TV for remote to reach receiver. Threads are different on the antenna, not the same as regular coax connectors. With all of the great ways to extend all other dual receivers, too bad the 922 has to have a unique antenna that can...

    VIP 922 remote #1 to UHF

    I use a 722 IR remote for TV1 and the 32.0 922 remote for TV2. Switch the tab on the 32.0 over to the 2 side, use menu to enable IR and use the receiver to acknowledge the 722 remote. Works great, however, extending the UHF antenna is not so easy as the threads are not the same as coax fittings.

    Violent Crime? I live in Los Barriles, Baja California Sur, its about 80 miles North of Cabo, 15 years ago we had a assault in the area, two construction workers got into it. Biggest crime in our area is tipping over a Pacifico, penalty might be no lime with the next one! Dish Mexico has only...

    Dish Pro Plus Twin and Birdog Meter

    Great replies! I did some testing today on a rooftop, found if I isolate the DPP from both receiver and second dual, I can read 119 on the middle connection or I guess it would be #2. I could not exist without my Birdog Plus, I have found I can drain the battery very fast when hooking up to the...

    Dish Pro Plus Twin and Birdog Meter

    This question has been posted in the past and never answered fully. How to read the DPP Twin with a Birdog? I know the DPP does not switch until it connected to a receiver, there are some rumors that one can not use terminal one to connect to the meter. I am not having any luck seeing 119 on my...

    DPP SIGNAL Will This Work?

    Satmanjohn is absolutely correct! If you are a bit South, you may not be getting 110, just point the DPP Twin at 119, use your wing sat to bring in 129 and run that into the input on the DPP. Do not use another switch as one is already inside the DPP and marries the signal and sends it all to...

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Check channel 240 and note Sobongo is gone! Now its Dish Network Hunt. As an RV'er I am just a bit concerned as I depend on them for my SD networks! The All America Direct web site is gone also and has not been up for a week...Has anyone called them today? Goodby SuperBowl?

    No more HD Distant Networks?

    Never lose faith, what happens if Dish gives some room on 129 and lets the HD Networks live...The 110 is a problem for anyone that just wants to use two satellites, some day the bulk of HD will be sent via 129!

    can you program a 21.0 remote for a tv 2 to a 922?

    Just a quick, FYI, don't forget to open the battery compartment and flip the switch to IR, just turning the tab to green does not convert the remote. I have used the universal IR/UHF remotes and have gotten used to just turning the tab over...

    Watching TV2. I don't even know where to begin.

    Just a reminder, using the 21.0 remote, you need to remove the tab and turn it to TV1, then open the battery compartment and move the switch to IR. I spent a while not knowing why I could not snyc the remote, then duh, opened the compartment. The Dish universal remotes are converted by just...

    Distant Networks recording problems

    922 and 722 both can only record one of the Distant Networks SD if the receiver is only on the channel being recorded. If already recording say channel 241 and try to watch channel 243 the picture is digitially broken up. If I set to record say 241 and am watching 244, the record channel will be...

    DISH Locals Launching in June

    Echostar/Dish 14 has the spot beam B04 listed as San Diego, however, the locals are still listed as being on 110. Been watching the locals lists and seems still no mention of any move to use B04. Any word on using this spotbeam for San Diego?

    Dish in RV

    Another option, depending on your antenna setup skills, I do the following, I use a tripod antenna with a DPP twin and use the crank up antenna for 129, connect that into the twin and end up with 119,110 and 129. It takes a bit of alum foil and a bit of practice to set up the twin at first then...

    my 612 reverts to channel 71 at start-up?

    Checked the remote code and its 1. I am going to replace the 612 due to the 311 error code, failed HD. The channel 071 must be the result of that failure, never recorded any channels below 300. Thanks for the input, best I get one sent and get through the change over. Perhaps the new 612 will...

    my 612 reverts to channel 71 at start-up?

    Channel 71 I turn the 612 off at night, when I hit the on button in the morning I expect it to be on the same channel I last viewed. What I get is channel 71. Sorry about the D thing I should have used the E. Just seemed like it might be a software change, if so lots of other E customers with...
