Video Dropouts on ViP 722

I get occasional video dropouts but the audio is just fine.

Using a ViP722.

It's definatly not the TV because I can rewind the DVR and it duplicates the dropout.

Again, just video. The audio is fine.

Anyone else experience this?

Are these about 1/2 second dropouts?

I've seen a few during on HD Olympic channels, but no where else. I figured it was just China censoring the guy holding up the "John 3:16" banner. ;)

My 722 froze up about a week ago and I spent 2 entire evenings in a row talking to tech support. I have been through the "reset" process about a hundred times now (by either turning off the receiver with the remote, the power button on the front panel, and/or unplugging from the wall) then through all the check switch tests.......and on, and on, and on. Tomorrow morning I will be hosting my 5th visit from a DISH tech in the past 3 months. They have already replaced my 722 receiver once, (about 3 weeks ago) and I suspect they will have to again. Sometimes I can get it to work, but it usually only lasts about 5 minutes, then the screen freezes again and we're back to resetting mode. The longest I've gotten this receiver to work is about an hour at a time....and I've just about had it. Ended up hooking up an old 301 I purchased several years ago just so we could watch the Olympics....my frustration level is about maxed out.

The strangest thing about this is that I have perfect audio on channel 300 (in HD) and on 303 (non HD)......but every other channel is nothing but the black screen of death.

Has anyone else experienced a situation like this?

I have shelled out several hundreds of dollars removing trees - including trimming one of my neighbors (with permission) and now this receiver doesn't work at all. At least when we had some tree/leaves interference I could understand why we would, on occasion, get a broken up signal that cleared up within a few seconds......but now we have absolutely nothing. This piece of crap worked better when we still had trees on our block!

I need some advice. I'm sure the tech will show up tomorrow and start telling me some BS about outside interference again.....which would be funny if I still had any shade left.

I am not having any problems with any other receiver on this setup (3 units) and my signal strength on any satellite is never lower than 50 or so on real cloudy days - so what gives? In my last conversation with DISH (earlier this evening) I asked if there were any known problems with the 722 (software or whatever) and the tech on the phone had the audacity to tell me "none at all"....what the heck? Spend about 2 seconds on Google searching "ViP722 problems" and stand by to read about 10,000+ posts....no problems my eye.

OK - I'm stepping off the soapbox good readers. Someone please clue me in.

Yep. That sounds about right. 1/2 to 1 second video drop outs . I had them when I was on 610 software. I haven't seen them since I received 612 software.

Update - The technician from Dish walked in the door, I told him what the problem was and he immediately returned to his truck and brought in a brand new 722 to replace the one I had. Fired the system back up and I haven't had any problems since. To quote the tech - "third time must be the charm".

Well, I didn't replace my 722, but since I got the update from 6.10 o 6.12, the video dropouts are no longer an issue.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

NCIS

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

I'm curious how they are going to implement Tony into Origins (If they do) ...
Tony was introduced to Gibbs and the team, on NCIS, which makes it the Mothership side of things, he worked in Baltimore prior to NCIS, NO mention when they met that anyone had known one another ...

$6.3 billion in crypto stolen by hackers

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

www.cnbc.com

Hackers steal $6.3 billion from Binance in biggest-ever cryptocurrency theft

The company later added it began recovering assets impacted by the breach after pledging to cover losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users.

The "Secure Asset Fund" had about $1 billion in reserves... in Bitcoin.

The fund started in 2018, so it may take a while to make investors whole, much less replenish the fund.

New report states 29% of vehicles being traded in are under water

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.
