I have an EHD but it's loaded with stuff. I would need to get one that's empty because of the formatting but don't you have to pay to hook an EHD to the 722?

Thanks for all of the quick replies. I figured the Hopper was going to be more money. I very rarely record two things at once but I always walk around the house watching my DISH on different TV's. I own my 722 and back a few months ago I called DISH and was told I could buy a new 722 for 100...

I have the 722. The one that you can hook your OTA antenna to. I think this is the one without the K? About half of my DVR recordings will 'lock up' the receiver when I try to watch them. Everything freezes and you have to wait minutes for it to start again and if you don't quickly hit "View...

Hello all, I have an old 301 that went the way of all things over a year ago. When i power it up and go to Recordings it shows none. It DID have about a dozen videos. The receiver wasn't working and would do all sorts of crazy things and lock up so I abandoned it and got a newer receiver...

I am experiancing signal loss. the picture disappears and the error screen comes up. I check sat signal and they are all lower than they used to be. the dish has not moved and the weather is perfect. before i go trying to move the dish is something happening that i just have to wait out...

Might as well through my two cents in.... I just went through a marathon tweaking and peaking with 129. My advice is to also check the mount BEFORE you put the dish antenna bracket on it. If the pole portion isn't perfect both ways it can make aiming a nightmare and all of those nice numbers...

This may have been asked before but can anyone give me the deffiniton of "Colorably Different"? I THINK I know what it means but I am not SURE. Everyone dotes on the details, which they should, but at it's core isn't this case about the technology that allows you to "Tape the end...

OK Ice, I am gonna look really dumb here but exactly what is FTA? Is it actual air as in the antenna that I use on my roof? The old UHF VHF that is now digital? OR is it a satellite system? Like KU or C band? I see this FTA mentioned alot but have never looked into it. The positioner on...

Hey all, i have a 9' Mesh dish from the old C-band days and every time I mow around it I think "There has got to be some neat thing I could do with that!" I was going to tape a microphone to the feed horn and aim it at things to see if I could hear anything but I realized there is...

Thanks for the input guys. I had originally thought my 129 was to low but then some nice guy here told me to check those specific Transponders. I must have been looking at different transponders because these reading were much higher. I didn't know that there were satellite specific...

Hello again, I recently did a self install of a 1000.2 for a 722K. I was going to tweak my dish for signal but I was asked by some very nice people here to supply specific signal readings so they could tell me what to expect. I live in the 43932 zip code but am actually closer to the...

Thanks for the info. My zipcode is 43932 and for you lurkers... Lat 40.4921 Lon -80.7830 But to back up, you don't think I would be ahead to use two dishes to split the 110/119 from the 129? Thanks! M

But but but Couple of things. you say point the 500 at 129. I take it the LNBs are not Satellite specific? So when it says in the diagram "This is the 129 LNB" that lnb picks up 129 because of where it sits in relation to the dish and the way the dish is pointed? I didn't think a 500...

Thanks for the reply. I did go to that site. Amazing. Actually zoomed in on my house and stuck the pointer right where dish is. Then used the obstacle thingy. No problems there. I am on top of a very big hill. taking into account the ground falling away the nearest tree would have to be over...

Yes you can add another dish to the 1000.2 there is a connection on it marked lnb where you hook up the other lnb. If you look at the install guide for the 1000.2 it goes into that some. It has SOME technical detail but not enough for a newbie like myself. If you google 1000.2 installation guide...
