I'm doing DishMover at the end of the month and will be adding a 612 to go along with my 722 and 211. Unfortunately I wasn't able to add another 722 because I would be over 4 tuners. Anyways, I want to still use the Dish Seperator with the 722, so what switch will the tech need to install?

I just would like to have this info, so if he acts clueless I can ask him why he can't just install "X" switch...

(Also does anyone know if there is anyway to get them to allow you to lease 5 tuners?)

If I would switch out the 612 with a 622 would the 1000.2 LNB still work?

Yep, the LNB would still work as you would still only need 3 lines coming from it for each of the receivers.:)

However, that will put you right back into the "5-tuners" scenario.:(

The advantage of a 622 over the 612 is that the 612 cannot do PIP/swap, the 622 can. I used swap this afternoon to watch NASCAR and the Olympics at the same time (almost).

Yea, this is definately a downfall of the 612, however, I rarely use the PIP on my 722, so I guess IMO it's not worth the extra $150 to get the 622 and buy a 211..

Another question about the 612... Am I able to record up to 3 shows at once (1 OTA, 2 SAT), or am i able to watch one thing while recording something else? Originally I thought that you probably couldn't, but then I saw that the 612 has 2 SAT input, so I'm thinking that this is a possibility...

with a 1k2 dish, he would be able to hook up the 622 and the 612 with the 211. the 612 is capable of using a dppseperator. and the 612 is technically a dual tuner rec, but dish counts it only as a single tuner for leased rules promotions. infact, the 612 does not even require a phoneline connection unlike the 622 and 722. if his intentions were to use a 622 insingle mode anyways, then the 612 would be a cheaper option. the only differnece between a 612 vs a 622 in single mode is pretty much the PIP option. 612 is not PIP enabled.

Yea, I've never used my 722 in dual mode... I pretty much want a box at every TV considering they are all HDTV... Since the only difference between 722/622 vs 612 is PIP, I may just move my 722 to where I'll be watching the most sports since that would be the only situation where I'd ever use PIP.

Back to the switch question:

Do they only install the 1000.2 with 3 DPP LNB now... My old house may have had a 1000 with only 2 line outputs?

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

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.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
