Bison and Gopher fan. Can't stand the Sue. Yep, that's how all the Sue haters spell it!

I live in Fargo, ND, a border city with Moorhead, MN and since there is no Big 10 school in ND, I don't get the Big 10 network. However, people right across the river in Moorhead MN subscribers do get it. Same DMA, so no problem there. Can I change my service address or my billing address to...

Finally. But no ABC. Bummer, but I guess I'll take what I can.

Why stop at setting it? Why not watch it too?:eek: Works good for pointing OTA antennas too.

If you use a slingbox and have a smartphone, you can put sling mobile on it and watch TV. OK, no news flash there. However, I discovered that it also works very well if you need to tweak your dish for signal strengths. You can just put it on the point dish screen and see what your changes do...

I have struggled mightily trying to get dishcomm to work through homeplug. They just won't see each other. I got a slingbox for christmas, and to get it on my home network, I used a slinglink, which is their version of homeplug. Well that didn't work for crap either. Slow connection speeds...

Ok, here's a couple more screenshots that I took this evening. I'll chance the receiver #'s. Notice that the strengths are good now, versus poor before. Don't get why that's changing. Also, sometimes a device named homeplug will appear on the test, and after aobut 10 seconds or so change to...

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Done.

At the risk of sounding really stupid, what do you mean by that?

Ok, there's some weird stuff going on today. When I go to do the tests on each receiver, I'm seeing the three devices in the test, and then one of them will change after about 10 seconds. Never seen that before. It will change from homeplug device to something that starts with a T on the mac...

Yes I have done the test from both receivers. Before I hooked up the homeplug ethernet adaptor, the tests would show only the receiver that I was running the test from. After the adaptor was hooked up, it shows both receivers and the homeplug. But the remote receiver still shows up only as...

My ethernet ports are unused on both receivers. The only way they are getting IP addresses is through the homeplug on the receivers. The homeplug is the only way they can get onto my home network to get an IP as I don't have an ethernet cable hooked up to them. So that tells me that the...

Well, the tech from Dish came over this morning to fix my dishcomm issue. However, he knew far less about it than I did. He didn't even know what homeplug was. I asked him if he had a homeplug to ethernet adaptor in his truck so we could test the homeplug in each receiver. He said he...

I just plugged the receiver into the outlet. Nothing else was connected, i.e., no sat. signal in, not video signal out, so I couldn't do any testing on that box.

Ok, this morning I went so far as to take the upstairs 722 and physically bring it downstairs and plug it directly into the same outlet as the 722 down there, thinking maybe when I tried that with an extension cord it wouldn't work with a cord that long. Still no luck, same offline status. Of...

Adding the recievers manually is the only way I can get them into the config. It does not detect them automatically. I read through that thread yesterday. Lots of good info in there, but nothing I found that will fix my issue.

Nothing has changed in my setup, I've just never tried to get this working before. I do have them plugged directly into the wall. No power strips or anything else. I tried running an extension cord from the receiver upstairs to the same outlet that the receiver downstairs is plugged into...

I don't think it's a break from the latest software update because I've never been able to get it to work. At least the other receiver has never shown up automatically. I've never tried to manually enter in the info and get it working before today though, so who knows. I was going to try the...

Having problems in Dishcomm getting my receivers to see each other. My upstairs receiver wouldn't see the downstairs one automatically, and vice versa. I manually entered in the downstairs receiver's ID into the one upstairs, and all I get is offline for the status. Then I went to the...

Thanks for the link, that was most helpful. I do have one more question: in Dishcomm setup, my upstairs receiver was not showing the downstairs one, and vice versa as well. I manually added the downstairs receiver to the upstairs config, and all I get is offline for status. Then I went...

I have two 722's that I want to get online so I can schedule events remotely when that becomes available. I'm going to use a homeplug to do it. My questions are: - the 722's have it built it, so I only need the one end that goes from the outlet to my router, correct? - how does the...

Why did they take the 1000.2? Why not leave it and just add the 500?

I want to make sure I understand this new turbo stuff correctly. I presently have America's top 250 at $59.99 + $10 for HD essentials. Now Dish is offering top 250 + GoldHD for $54.99 + $10 for the GoldHD. So I would save $5/month plus get more HD programming, correct? What's not to like...

Supposedly getting our locals in HD in Fargo, ND this week, according to the local Dish retailer. They are going to be on 61.5, so I will need an additional dish put up. Here are my questions: 1. Is there a charge for the additional dish or it's installation? Does it matter whether I go...

Had two new 722's for about a month now. One of them has done something strange twice lately. After shutting it down with my remote, where I shut the TV and 722 tuner off, I come back an hour or two or whatever later, and it won't start up. My TV turns on, and the 722 box makes some loud fan...
