Hello
I am new to DISH and switched from DTV for more HD (new tv). After the install today I am confused. Having Tivo with DTV I had two lines coming in to the reciever and could watch one and record on the other. After the install I noticed the installer had hooked up only one line from the dish 1000 ? and told me the switch he istalled split the signal and made it possible to have two signals going to the vip 622. I cannot figure out how to switch tuners when I am recording so I can watch the other one. I have one set of component video cables going to my tv from tv1. Do I need to run another set of rca cables from the tv2 out or what > I am only using this tuner on one tv. I was assured that this reciever would allow me the same features I am used to from DTV Tivo such as name based recordings, pausing two shows at once and swithcing between them and recording one channel and watching another. I do not have an OTA antana hooked up and dont plan to. Please help. Thanks in advance.

In any case, your 622 will record 2 satellite shows at once, and if you were set up to receive OTA Digitial Television, you could record a 3rd show at the same time. All of this while TV1 Output and TV2 Output were each watching the same or a different pre-recorded program.
However, I don't know if in Single Mode you can pause 2 live shows at once and switch back and forth. Maybe someone has that answer. I know sometimes while pausing Live TV in Dual Mode, the pause releases for some reason after a short while - maybe the kids in the next room.
I believe single mode will let you do whatever dual mode does when it comes to Watching TV and Recording TV, but I do not use Single Mode and can not really comment on its functions.

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....

No problem here (in central Europe) with a 10-footer. Do note that 9.4 dB required for the lock.
The mod is DVB-S2 8PSK with FEC 5/6.

Just curious here.....then why is diesel so much higher out there than it is elsewhere. Bobby just posted $7.59/gal, locally it is $5.59.....that's two bucks difference.
The Charter/Spectrum tv app has been updated to make it downloaded with more tv brands. I recently added it to my LG Oled tv.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Now after reading this story I walked away thinking that this is being blown out of proportion because of the incredibly low numbers of those affected.....BUT....I've read posts by some of you who are taking this drug so I figured it was worth posting.
