I know I installed a bunch of your guys houses recently. I know most of you don’t have a home phone line so your paying the additional charge on your dual tuners. The ethernet port on the 622/722 receivers are alive and working now. If you plug it into a modem or router you can then go to menu, 6, 1, 9, 1 and you should have a connection to the net (IP address, ect.). That receiver can then use the net instead of a phone line for PPV ordering and it should also knock off the charge. Only one receiver needs to be connected this way if you have more then one. ---

Let me know how it works. I would try it on my own, but my 622 is about 100 ft away from my modem. Plus I have the home phone line ran to it already. ---

SON OF A BITCH. I _ **just** _ finished rerunning new cat 6 & cat 3 to most of the house _yesterday_. They are staying on the goddamn phone lines. On a brighter note… network accessibility? :redface: ---

How many receivers do you have??? I thought you had two??? But yeah, only one needs to be connected. Right now all its doing is PPV and taking care of the phone line charge(s). I’m sure they’ll have more uses for it, but thats it for now. ---

Right now I still have mine hooked up and working through my vonage phone line so I guess I’ll leave it be, but nice to know should I ever want to drop the home phone. I’m hoping DVR programming via the internet is in the works. ---

Bump. They started pushing down the software to allow you to download movies via the broadband connection. I don’t have it yet but I read that it will work for the 622 and 722 receivers. Looks like Dish’s answer to on demand. ---

You have the wing dish (61.5) piggy backing off the DPP Twin, which is the way to do it without a switch. You add the DP44 to the fray and you need to run another line from the 61.5 dish down to the switch (input 3). Otherwise, it won’t find 61.5. ---

Initial install was two recievers, no switch. I knew it was piggybacking, but didn’t think the switch wouldn’t break it out. I’ll run a third to the DPP44. You’re the bestest. ---
