Connecting 625 DVR

[rubber101]

Have made 5 attempts on phone with dish to connect above DVR to replace existing lagecy on 61.5 setelite but failed. For a reason I Can't have a technician come to my place. Any suggestions?

my understanding is eastern arc sata are hd only. 625 is sd.

Quite a bit of MPEG2 SD stuff still on 61.5.

you will need to have 2 cables from the LNB to the inputs on the receiver, for it to function properly. Do not use the separator with the legacy LNB

Thanks Iwannarock1. I will try that. I was using one cable with the separator.

If you did not get an owner's manual when you bought it you can download one from dishnetwork.com . It shows different ways to hook it up.

Not really. Outside of the international channels, there's a handful of PI channels and maybe some RSNs.

Most of the spotbeams don't reach Canada.

Still doing wing dish's for 61.5 when custy has Latino. 110, 119 and 61.5 for HD programming and HD locals. Waiting for Latino to be added to EA so no more 2 arc set ups, which Dish is trying to get away from.
