Old ui looked cleaner to me

I did put a ground wire I'm not sure if you can see it because it blends in with the coax

But you are using a coax cable which is more than likely to be be copper clad, meaning it's not pure copper and does not meet requirements for proper grounding.

Ok. I will change it to proper ground wire when I get it. (THE INSTALL IS NOT PERMANENT)

Most installs there was never a good place to mount them, plus too much wiring it was tough to keep things looking neat. Most installs I zip tied them to the back of the dish. Then the customer would unplug the inserter and wonder why the system went down. Also couldn't work on the system with the inserter plugged in, it would zap you if you grabbed a coax.

Not sure if you know how to do this but how do I make this TV2 timer TV1

Here's the image. I want it to record on tv1 only instead of tv2 I don't use tv2.

Change it to solo mode.

 

[HoppertheKangaroo18]

Change it to solo mode.

Thanks. I'll see if that fixes it.

I'm not sure if you know what transmit numbers are in nc but I tried half of these and there's no signal

Do you have an OTA antenna connected? You can just do a scan to add channels, that's to add a channel manually.

I do happen to have an antenna connected currently. Right now I'm only getting cbs and 4 more stations instead of normal 40

The OTA tuners in these weren't the most sensitive, so don't be surprised if it picks up a lot less channels than your TV's tuner. If you're far from the towers and using an indoor antenna, that's common.

Actually, it's to assign the channel to the NTSC (analog TV) that sends TV to your second TV on VIP receivers.

No, this is what the TV 2 modulator setup screen looks like.

You need to tell the receiver which channels to scan prior to doing your local scan. On the 722 this option is under "HDTV setup". Look for that setting or something similar and under options change the analog type to "offair". Then scan for locals again. All of the other options scan cable frequencies. The reason you are getting one or two channels is because broadcast and cable frequencies are the same for channels 2 through 13.

I have a 612. Not a 722 if that changes any options

I thought you were originally talking about your 922, But the same thing applies to your 612. Do as I outlined and you will receive all of your local channels.

Weirs question but how did satellites like 129, 77, 118 die?

 

[Mr Tony]

Weirs question but how did satellites like 129, 77, 118 die?

They didn't die. Dish rented them and no longer need them so the contract ended with the company that owns them.
Dish uses 77W for their Mexican satellite service (sat coverage isn't in the US)
118 &129 they didn't need. 118 was international programming that they moved to streaming.

That's pretty interesting. This whole time I thought 129 got hit by a piece of satellite debris. Also did customers that used to have 1000.4 turbo hds with the 77 72 61 lnb have mexican service or is that a different 77

Also I forgot to mention 148 west.
