    Problem with install.

    Software yes. Programming no. It can take up to 24hrs for all your programming.

    Is the 922 free yet?

    Really?! I may jump on that!

    722k questions, connections and HDMI woes.

    You may play around with running the component from the 722, and component from the TV to your onkyo, and then use the component out the supply the signal to your DVD recorder.

    Install Tips for Dish 500 with 625 receiver

    As long as you have existing service your easiest way would be to just set up a Dish Mover. It's free (or $15 I can't remember if they changed it, but you'll spend more than that in materials trying to do it yourself anyway). You can run four TVs off your 625, but remember three of them will...

    Need Some Help (Dish 500 Plus w/ Dish 625 Receiver)

    separator needs to be on the back of the receiver. You ether need it or two lines from the dish. Keep in mind the separator only works with Dish Pro Plus gear. If you have a Dish Pro LNB you will need two lines regardless.

    Need Some Help (Dish 500 Plus w/ Dish 625 Receiver)

    A Dish 500 can have several different LNB's on it. You need to be a bit more specific as to what LNB you have on your dish. If the dish you have is the one that was installed with the receiver then more than likely it has a Dish Pro Plus Twin on it. That being the case only the one wire is...

    Need Some Help (Dish 500 Plus w/ Dish 625 Receiver)

    Actually yes he would need the switch if he has a 500 Plus. You're confusing the 500 Plus with a Dish Pro Plus Twin. Two completely different LNB's

    Cable Splitter in Dish TV connection

    Just to inform you the feed for the TV 2 does not come from the dish it comes from the receiver and is either diaplexed back into the same feed the dish signal is on, or has a separate line, but regardless that's not important in this situation. You mentioned you have a new HD TV for your third...

    Which switch do I need to get 110 and 119 on a 625 dual tuner? 2 question s

    Baring no LOS issue you could also upgrade to a 500 dish with a DP+ Twin. That would give you one dish, two lines in, and using a separator on the receivers one line to each 625. Also the 625 is Dish's best SD DVR receiver. A solid unit.

    NEW Dish Network PRO PLUS 500+ LNB

    Shouldn't that be the opposite? I always thought the farther south you go the higher the elevation.

    Blue Sky Satellite Installers for Dish Network - Watch out!!

    I don't believe they are. And to the OP the tech running the cable on the outside of the house is standard. "Free Installation" doesn't include any "hiding" of the cable behind siding. If the tech would have done it, and damaged the siding trying the company would have covered the damage, and...

    Dish pointing

    Not being familiar with that system I'm going to assume it uses a single legacy style LNB that only looks at one orbital at a time. That being the case you can just use the pointing aid on your receiver by entering in the zip code for the location you are in, and choosing a 300 dish. If the...

    should I upgrade to a super dish

    A bunch of extra gear to pack around as there is no LNB available for the Super Dish that has integrated switches. Not to mention the dish is considerably larger than the 500, and in a space limited RV that would be a big negative. Also the diameter of the mast is different than the 500 so you...

    thinking about downgrading a receiver

    Pretty sure there would be a commitment. Dish considers any receiver change an upgrade. IIRC there is no monthly cost difference between a 722 vs a 612 so there would be no advantage to even mess with it.

    Using Superdish for 61.5, 72 & 77 ?

    There is no adapter to fit a 1000.2 LNB, a 1000.4 LNB, or any Twin LNB to the super dish. Only the three individual LNB,s. You can use DP singles, DP duals, or lagacy LNB's. If you was to use Legacy LNB's then all three LNB's and the related switch gear would also need to be Lagacy...

    508 and 500pro dish

    Yes you can use the 508 with a 500 twin LNB no additional switches needed. However the 508 is being phased out so they may not activate it for you.

    Using Superdish for 61.5, 72 & 77 ?

    Physically it will fit the arm of the Super Dish, but it will not work unless you modify the length of the arm, and possibly the spacing of the feed horns. The same goes with a 1000.2 LNB. There is a special kit to convert the Super Dish to a WA triple sat dish using three DP LNB's. It includes...

    Additional TV

    That won't work for the OP. He want's HD in a separate room, and that only works line of sight. So unless he can beam it through an open door way it'd be a no go. Also for the price of that he could lease a 211k for almost three years. I would suggest either getting a second receiver, or using...

    Why use 311 instead of 381?

    381's are a decommissioned (811) HD receiver. They will no longer work with the mpg-4 HD signal. The reason they have all those outputs is because they used to be HD, but that doesn't make them newer, or better. Infact they are junk. The color of the remote has no baring on how new/old a...

    Problems with 1000.4 EA with 61.5 wing dish

    ???? He doesn't have or need a DP Plus44 switch. He realized his wing dish had a legacy LNB which is not compatible with the 1000.4 EA.

    What DVR Do I Have?

    Not really. They are a rebadged 522 which was not that great of a receiver. Bad modems, and junk hard drives is what most got replaced for.

    Noob wants to install switch, run cable

    The easiest way to see what LNB you have is to look at the system info screen on your receiver (Menu-6-1-3). It will also tell you if your system has a separator as well.

    VIP612 Internal Fan

    No clue on the spec of the fan, but I can tell you it's a multi speed fan, and it's voiding the warranty. Including the DHPP warranty regardless of if you own it, or not. If it's a leased receiver it's a sure way to guarantee you will own it. You should not be able to hear it running unless you...

    Multi-TV Receiver

    Your current LNB is sufficient. All you need to do is run the coax from the home distribution port to your second TV. You will also need a UHF Pro remote, and the antenna for the back of the receiver. A IR remote will not control it from another room. You also may need to set your receiver in...
