I had DISH installed in Jan. '09 & had no problems at all until early July 2009, when my original 722 started acting up - restarting repeatedly, hard drive running at all different times of day or night, and could not watch either TV1 or TV2 until the rcvr finished resetting. Dish service has been out 6 times & done everything imaginable, and they have also replaced the receiver 4 times, twice with 722's, and twice with the newer 722K. With each service visit, or each new receiver, things work o.k. until I turn off the receiver the first time. All the receivers have had similar problems, and the 722K's have remote control problems. Timed DVR recordings are mostly cut off within 1 - 10 minutes. If the TV is on & receiver is working, there are usually no problems until I try to turn it off, when it may not respond, and once it IS off, the hard drive runs, and it keeps resetting itself. On the last visit the "Field Service Manager" came with a technician, but he did not know anything more than the tech. They said it might be too hot inside an enclosed cabinet, or the cell phone booster might be causing the problem, so I cut open the back of the cabinet, left the door open with a fan blowing through, and shut off the cell phone booster for the whole weekend. It did not help...same problems.

Problem solved, but exact cause still unknown.
Finally, the problem is solved.
I changed the connections around so the HDMI inputs from the 722k & the Blueray go directly to the TV, and the audio output goes from the TV to the Onkyo A/V unit via optical cable. Now everything is working fine, so far.
I still do not know exactly what caused the problems, since it seems that something must have changed in early July that I cannot identify....it was working fine, then it was not. Again, all I know is that the problem could be stopped by either leaving the Onkyo turned on, or by disconnecting the HDMI cable that was going from the 722k unit to the Onkyo whenever the system was not in use.
It is very annoying that DISH service people were of no help in solving this!! At least 40 hours of my time spent over a 3 month period.

We told you to do that a couple of weeks ago....

The only problem with that hook-up is that you probably are not getting 5.1 digital audio to your receiver. The majority of HDTV's optical out only send dolby stereo surround (check your owners manual). You should go optical from your 722 and optical or digital coax from your Blu-ray to the Onkyo, depending on available connections.

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....

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs
My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.
Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.
After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.
I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link
I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.

EchoStar fixes some of its mess, but there's much more to mop up
EchoStar's satellite TV and Sling TV services have exited Chapter 11, but clouds still hover above Dish Wireless, which faces a multitude of lawsuits.

News about the tower's dispute-
Towercos now own Dish's 5G radios – and SpaceX might be a buyer
Tower companies now own Dish's deserted 5G gear, says American Tower CEO Steven Vondran. This could feed into SpaceX's mobile ambitions, analysts say.

So does this mean the churches and businesses that Dish owes back payments to are going to get paid now?
