    how to add more receivers

    After having another switch mounted on my roof go bad, my installer replaced my 2 antenna setup with a new single triple LNB antenna (not sure which model as it just says Dish HD on it, no model number that I could find.) The new antenna just has 2 cables and these currently are used for each...

    No longer supporting vacation homes?

    8 years ago I was going to cancel DishNetwork because it cost too much to have separate accounts for my main house and my vacation home. They offered to combine the accounts and just charge for the receivers in the vacation home. This last week they called with some story about needing to...

    Need network help for Dish Remote Access

    Receiver connects to a Linksys WRT320N router which connects to my Comcast cable modem. I have configured anything special on the router for the receiver (can't find any info or support about anything that needs to be done to the router to allow access.)

    Need network help for Dish Remote Access

    Yep, UPnP is enabled. Everything else on my home network has no problems accessing the internet. And I'm assuming that the fact I can run the Apps from my 922 means, and when I run the broadband diagnostic on it and it passes, that it is connecting via broadband (but could be wrong there..)...

    Need network help for Dish Remote Access

    I haven't used dish remote access in many many months. Had it working a long time ago. Now that I want to use it, I find that Dish Remote access says my receivers are not connected to my local home network. On my 922 slingplayer, I've checked the broadband settting from the receiver, it...

    Moving second home install

    Ok, finally moved to the new house, got the 1000.2 antenna, all the wiring installed and tested with with a coax signal meter. Now challenged to get a lock on any of the desired satellites. Between the receiver, the booklet that came with the new antenna, and various websites for pointing...

    Moving second home install

    if I just need 110, 119 and 129, can I do that with just a 1000 dish? And in that case, do I need the dp44?

    Moving second home install

    My 922 shows 110, 119, 129 and 61.5. I guess that means I need both the 500 and 1000...

    Moving second home install

    I've had a second home DishNetwork setup for years, but am now moving my second home. In my primary home, I"ve got 2 dish's (500 & 1000 w/ a DPP44) and get AT250 and HD package on a VIP922 and VIP722. The old second home just had the 500 and a VIP622. When I move the second home, I'd like to...

    No 119 on Tuner 2 on 625

    It looks like it's pretty easy to swap out the LNB for a DPP, I can keep to a single cable run for now, and then potentially add another dual tuner receiver down the road. I think I'll go that route....

    No 119 on Tuner 2 on 625

    Thanks - They are just labelled Digital LNBF - so I'm guessing those are not the DPPs. Is there a separator that works with the older ones, or do I need to upgrade my LNBs to DPP to support the dual tuner receiver?

    No 119 on Tuner 2 on 625

    I just swapped out an old 501 with a 625. I have a 500 sat and am using the single cable that went to the 501 through a separator into the 2 inputs on the 625. Running a check switch shows ok on 110 and 119 on both tuner 1 and tuner 2. When I check transponder inputs, on tuner 1 I...

    Off air signal on same cable as dish signal?

    I have a wiring challenge in my TV room with only a single coax cable running to it (and no access under the wall and a vaulted ceiling with almost impossible access to get to.) I'm using the single coax running to the room to carry the dish signal (which is split at the receiver to support...

    Updated Dish 1000 Info

    New sub getting different message I've signed up for an install next week that includes VOOM. I'm in the San Francisco area and when I called back today they said that my order was updated to get the Dish1000, but that I still had to get a a second dish to get the VOOM channels. Shouldn't I...

    New multi-room setup

    Inter-room viewing That's what I figured. It's too bad, TiVo has really figured out the networking piece - just purchase their home media option, run an ethernet cable to each receiver - as many as you like - and from the UI of each receiver you can pull recorded shows off the other...

    Dish and cable setup for install next week

    I'm having an install done on my house next week, and want to make sure I have the wiring needed (based on some really bad experiences, I won't let anyone else do wiring on my house - so far the installers I've used have been very very happy with the wiring setups I've done.) I'm getting a...

    New multi-room setup

    Thanks BluEBoaR. This stuff has come a really long ways since I setup my last house 4 years ago!!! I've been reading a bunch of other threads, do I need to be concerned about which dish is installed (i.e.the new Dish1000) if I want to get HD, Voom, Local channels on the 2 942s?

    Any new info about Dish Broadband?

    Find anything besides satellite broadband I used Starband for about 4 years (what was packaged as DishNetworks broadband in 2001), I just moved and was able to switch to cable modem - I can't believe how much better cable is!!!! Unless someone figures out how to make radio waves travel...

    New multi-room setup

    your right I did mean the 942 (been reading too many model numbers today...) The plan is to dual tuner/dual tv receivers in each of 2 rooms, with the 2nd TV output sent to the other room. This allows watching recordings from either receiver in either room by selecting a different source...

    New multi-room setup

    I'm signing up for new DishNetwork service in a new-to-me house. The house currently has 2 coax cables run to an existing DirecTV antenna on teh roof to a cable distribution box that runs 1 coax cable to each room in the house. I know I want to get to 1 924 and either a second 924 or a 625...
