How does it work with a Dish 722 DVR: If you have a dual tuner Dish DVR how hard is it to set up?
374981
I've been using Sling boxes for the last three years. I also have the Dish VIP 722 and it is basically an automated process to set it up. Once every thing is hooked up, use component connections if available, you will run the software setup on your computer, answer a few questions and it will be ready to go. It will also initially update the firmware on the box. Since it is hooked up to the 722 it has no impact on the TV's picture. I have never had a problem in three years. I'm in the military and have watched shows on my 722 from all over the world. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer. My gut feeling is that since both TiVo and HDHomeRun are both tuners there could be some conflict. You may be able to make them work, but probably not the way you want it to. My HDHomeRun is directly connected to the cable and I use Microsoft Media Center for the DVR and other functions and it works very well in that configuration. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

this is the same as the original remote that came with the Dish DVR. you would have to teach it to control the TV by inserting the proper codes for your TV set.

This is not a wireless camera and I do not know if it works with a dish dvr as I do not have one of those.

You don't wanna do that. Even if you could get it to work, it wouldn't select channels by itself, you'd have to manually change the channel on the digital converter box to whatever you want to record next. Plus, it'd all be low-def. To record from a rooftop antenna to a DVR, you need a DVR with an ATSC tuner -- or, preferably, several ATSC tuners so you can record multiple channels at once. Since everybody using a rooftop antenna can't live without such a DVR, there are zillions to choose from -- NOT! I dunno what's wrong with this market, but finding such a DVR is ridiculously difficult. I have two. The first and best is the Channel Master CM-7000PAL, which has two tuners and therefore can record two programs at once in full HD. The other is a Magnavox MDR515H which only has one tuner and only records in low-def, although it's still widescreen and a very good fidelity low-def so it's quite watchable. It also can record on a rewritable DVD which would be nice when the HD fills up, but being low-def it has 250 hours of space on the HD so it'll never fill up. Last I heard, one or both of these models are NLA -- but that *might* be because they've introduced new and better models. Channel Master, for example, was supposed to introduce a 3-tuner model. I'm sorry the options aren't better. I'd very much like to find out why the market for ATSC DVR's is suppressed and throttle somebody.

My Dish DVR has two receivers inside so I can have one program recording and watch another, or I can have two different programs recording and watch something I recorded last week. Both signals come out HD, but this device is to split the signal into two channels to go INTO the DVR and not into a TV. IF you want to split one signal for two TV's, you can buy a much less expensive splitter. In case I was not clear, this device hooks up to the satellite dish (the end with one cable). This device splits that satellite single in two so both of the satellite receiving circuits get a signal they can process into an RF signal to go to my television.

No the 222 receiver will not do that. If you will look up the specs of this receiver on Dish.com you will find that the 222 in NOT compatible with using a Hard Drive as DVR.

Have you synched your Logitech remote to control your DISH dvr box? You must do that first using the instruction on the set up of your Logitech before you can use it to control the DISH DVR or any device for that reason.

Yes. I am using it right now with Verizon FIOS. I think you need to see if your DVR has firmware 1.9 or later (it should by now). When you plug it in for the first time, your DVR will ask you to format it (it takes a minute or two). I have a QIP 7216 FIOS DVR.

I've had good luck with D cables (dcables.net), very good quality and low price cables and adapters. (I needed a DVI to HDMI adapter [$9.99] for my Dish HD DVR)

So did you ever solve your tuner problem? I hooked mine to my cable box to record programs that would fill in my cable co. DVR or did you try connecting this to one of the $40 government ATSC to analog boxes?

Not sure I checked with directv before I bought dish to make sure it worked with my box. Some of the newer dvr HD boxes wont work as per directv, just double check with directv before you buy it.
