I currently have a ViP 622 and Dish 1000 that replaced an 811, 301 and a Dish 500.
Previously I was able to split the signal from my 301 to share the signal between my set #2 in the house with a set that I had in my shop about 100-150 ft away. Cable length is probably closer to 200-250 ft. Although I was not able to change channels from the shop, the PQ seemed very good.
With the new configuration (ViP 622), the PQ is fine in the house (on set #2) but in the shop it's degraded. Very grainny (sp?). I am able to take the remote to change channels in the shop because I've installed a UHF antenna off of a splitter connected to that TV.
No problems on the Mitsubishi 55" HD (set #1). BTW even with all the new downloads, I've never had a problem with audio drop out (would like the HD LiLs to show CC though). And few unscheduled reboots. this is in response to the sticky thread on 622 issues.
Two questions:
1. Any suggestions to clear up the PQ in the shop?
2. Any way to modify the 811 remote (no longer used) to give me a third unit for changing the channel in the shop? Actually I think that the installer set up the 811 remote to work with the 622 on set #1 ... not sure. The plastic at the bottom is labelled #1 but I don't know if it was removed from a different unit. I saw a thread that takes one remote and converts it to another. That is IR to UHF or vice versa. Could this apply?
