    Direct TV to Dish Network.... what I need to do???

    I hate having to re-commit for something that I've been a "valued customer" for years. But everything is negotiable. Having them come out to install a new dish is well worth it, and maybe you can get them to throw in a new receiver or two. Just tell them that the new place is all ready set up...

    CC messed up on 722K

    The trouble I'm having is not with OTA, It happened on A&E, TNT and USA. It may have just been a bad signal during that particular time.

    CC messed up on 722K

    I tried all of the different services (0-6) and still only get about every 10th word looking like any type of language. This TV isn't connected with HDMI so I can't blame it on that. It seems to be working fine on Live TV, so maybe it had a bad feed at the time of the recording.... I don't...

    CC messed up on 722K

    I had no idea there were options, I'll take a look. Is there one that is more reliable than others?

    VIP722k Delay End Time Setting

    Try setting a program to record, but before you select Create Timer, select Options, change the Start/End, select "Set as System Default", Done, Create Timer. This should set the defaults for any new timers, but you may have to edit any existing ones.

    CC messed up on 722K

    My wife uses Closed Caption a lot and lately it gets all messed up on some of her recorded shows. The words come out as random text. We have a VIP722k Dish Receiver. I've tried rebooting which doesn't fix the problem. Other recordings and live TV seem to be working OK. Has anyone come across...

    DTVPal Plus Recording a channel while watching another

    If you like the DTVPAL Plus, check out the DTVPAL DVR. It will record one show while you watch another, or record two shows while you watch a previously recorded show. Or just get a second tuner (DTVPAL Plus) for your recording device.

    Best omni for roof top?

    Check out SolidSignal . com . I recently purchased the Antennas Direct Clear Stream 4 and with it just sitting up in the attic, I get great reception about 18 miles from the nearest transmitter. They have many brands, options, and good prices (as far as I could find). And a good help section.

    HDTV OTA antenna (outdoors) Need advice.

    I just bought the "Antennas Direct C4 ClearStream4 Outdoor Digital HD TV Antenna" from SolidSignal . com (good prices and very helpful) I threw it up in the attic and I'm getting 85% - 90%+ on most stations. Attic installation can cut the signal around 50% so I can't wait to see what it does...

    Dish Introduces DTVPal DVR

    Can't wait!!! With the reviews on their DTVPAL and from what I've seen on other websites, it's basicly a 722 box that only works with OTA. And with no monthly fee's, this is a no brainer. I hope it also comes with the dual output/dual remotes so I can hook up a second SD TV to it as well.
