He swapped out about everything else short of the cabling and dish in my house (did replace the LNB) and his "TesterBuddy" had a strong signal at the cable going into the 722, but the receiver still was saying Very Weak Signal. So his next move was to replace the receiver.

Yes - I definitely plan on doing that. Thanks for the reminder.

Just had a Dish technician come out to troubleshoot reception problems, and long story short - he wanted to swap out my ViP722 for a new ViP722k. Besides the fact of being annoyed that I can't use the new receiver with OTA channels, I need to transfer all my saved recordings to an EHD so I can...

Things have been working just fine for me with my ViP722 but a couple weeks ago, the reception on 129 for my HD channels started getting progressively worse. So now I am missing DVR events because of it and something has to be done. It is intermittent and I have zero physical blockage of the...

What about IFC? I can't find that anywhere. Is it coming back?

Thanks to all for the help here! I think I will just move back to Columbus - not looking to spend more $$$ at this time for new hardware. I will suffer through having to watch Brows/Bengals games instead of the Steelers. And Dish, get your act together and get channel 10, the local CBS affiliate...

Can you point me to instructions as to what that entails, to see if I want to undertake that adventure?

For 129-10, Signal Strength: 2 :( Apparently the green oval is really the yellow oval here. So I guess I am SOL and need to move back to Columbus?

According to your link, I am just inside the green oval. (What is the difference between the green and yellow ovals?)

Well, this is under Point Dish -> Check Switch -> Details (if that is the right place - sorry I am a n00b when it comes to these things): Port4 External LNB: None No Connection Is that the place you mean? (If so, probably sounds bad)

Tampa8, that did it - thanks! HOWEVER - now for the bad news. When I try to tune to the HD locals, it announces "signal loss" and immediately switches me to to the SD version of the channel. I double-checked the signal strength on 129-26, and it is now up to 45 and the bar is green. Is there...

For Sat 129 Spotbeam 26, signal strength: 40 For Sat 110 Spotbeam 9, signal strength: 66 (and existing Sat 110, signal strength 78) I have done a couple guide downloads already, but I am doing another one now. [Edit] Still no new channel listing after a guide download.

I just called Dish yesterday and successfully (supposedly) "moved" to Pittsburgh from the Columbus OH region (go Stillers :)). On my Dish account page online I can see the new service address. From looking at http://jameslong.name/ and...

Good idea. They are indeed on TV2 as well. Or rather, were - the CC have gone off now. The problem channel was FOX. Who knows, maybe some FOX tech monitors the boards here? :)

When I turned on my Dish 722 this afternoon to watch some NFL, things were normal. I happened to switch channels to a soccer game, and the closed captions were on. I checked the 722 menus (I am watching from TV 1, connected via HDMI) and it was off. I occasionally do turn them on, but they were...
