    2 seperate dishes at 119 through multiswitch - why doesnt it work?

    So I was trying to be clever with a broken feed issue, but it didn't work, I'm curious as to why not. Setup is multiple receivers connected through an Eagle Aspen multi-switch connected to a legacy LNB, was working fine. Somehow 1 of the RG6 broke, corroded, I don't know what, whatever...

    Can a HD dish signal be sent by wireless to other TV?

    You could use a Slingbox & Slingcatcher networked over power lines using Slinglink or other Homeplug device. I personally would make the effort to cable the setup, because you're using HD and not even the Slingbox does HD properly.

    DP44 and uS575-T possible?

    I'm using a Legacy LNB for 61.5 reception and DP LNBs for the other locations. Is it possible to use a uS575 stacker between the DP44 and the 61.5 LNB to get both polarities on a single cable? OR Can I connect both ports of the 61.5 LNB to 2 ports on the DP44? TIA

    Dish HD vs Disney (DISH sort of won...)

    I think tvropro's point was referring to SD channels that Dish has as HD channels, when they are not HD. The point is valid. SD on HITS is less compressed than SD on Dish, which looks bad, yes, I have both. A non-HD channel on Dish is compressed less than SD on Dish, so yes, it looks good...

    Is there a way to connect a 722k to Wifi?

    Hookup a Linksys WAP54G in 'Client' mode, this makes the Linksys WAP54G act like a WiFi client. Configure the WAP54G for the network you want to use via the WAP54G web based interface, then connect to the receiver via CAT5.

    322 Inactivity Timer?

    Does the 322 have an Inactivity Timer? Checked an installation this morning and it had "Press Select to Continue" on the screen. I setup a ViP211k and in the menu there is an Inactivity Standby option (Preferences). I can't find this option on the 322. Anyone know how to stop this...

    Dish 322 - IR for 2nd TV?

    Hi guys, I'm looking at a setup of a 322 and 2 displays. I understand that the 322 2nd remote uses UHF not IR. Thing is, this setup would use a Crestron touchpanel system, so I need to control the 2nd output with IR not UHF. Anyone know if this can be done? TIA

    61.5 question

    Hey guys, I was looking for some information on what is actually happening to the channels on 61.5 - I'm sure it was in this forum but a quick search yielded nothing. What I'm trying to find out is: 1) Is 61.5 going away? 2) If 61.5 is NOT going away, why are the channels moving? Thanks
