722k questions, connections and HDMI woes.

Alright so we finally got our Dish upgraded today to HD. 1 722k receiver, and 2 211's.

First question is does the 722k support 1080p? My TV says its 1080i when the 722k is connected, and I notice some banding/interlace lines on some channels. This is over HDMI. When I go into the HDTV setup screen on the 722k it only goes up as high as 1080i.

We have an LG 55" HDTV, with an Onkyo HT-s894 AVR and the 722k. For some reason I cannot get audio over HDMI, just video. So for now, the 722k has its HDMI connected straight to the TV's HDMI1 input. Optical out from the 722k into one of the Optical ins on my AVR. This way I get video over HDMI, audio over optical, and I get surround on channels that support 5.1.

Im sure my AVR supports audio over HDMI as well, but I dont know whats going on. The current method I have works fine at least, but it requires a few more clicks on the various remotes to switch inputs etc. However Im having trouble connecting my DVD/VHS Recorder.

Its a Magnavox ZV420MW8. I connected the RCA video/audio cables from the 722k's TV2 outputs, into the inputs of the Recorder. The outputs of the recorder go into the RCA inputs on the back of my LG TV.

I can watch DVDs from the recorder fine, as well as receive audio out from the digital SPDIf which goes into my AVR (has 2 SPDif inputs). But Im not getting any video from the 722k. Only audio.

The 722k is setup in Dual mode. We have no plans to use 2 seperate TVs, as the other TVs have their own receivers.

So how can I get video from the 722k into the recorder? What I need is to record whatever Im watching on the 722k. No need for fancy setups to record 1 program while watching another.

Ok I got it working. TV1 is indeed what to use. I had something confused with my AVR. I plugged in the 722 into my Recorder, and used component out from the rec into the ins on my AVR, then Component out from AVR to TV. Was able to record from the TV just fine. However its a hassle to switch. I have to use the TV remote to switch over to Component to get video, use the recorder remote to turn it on and operate, and use the AVR remote to switch to video 3.

Wish my TV would output 5.1 thru its optical out for everything instead of reserving it for the few apps that enable 5.1 out (Vudu). This way I could hook everything up to the TV, use the awesome onscreen input guide to switch, and just hook up an optical from the TV to the AVR, and thats it.

Im so getting a Harmony Remote tomorrow.

Alright, this might be a dumb question, but why are you bothering with a DVD recorder? Everything you record to it will be SD quality. You have up to 50 hours of HD space on your 722k, and much more than that if you add an EHD.

Bought the 650 today. Indeed it is the way to go. Have all my activities setup. Being able to switch from DVR to DVD Recorder to Bluray to Radio with 1 button is pretty damn cool.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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!!!
