See the remote programming guide:

Try connecting a optical audio cable out from your TV to your sound bar and directly connect your 722 to your TV with HDMI.

The VIP722 always runs hot. A build up of dust can restrict air flow and cause overheating. When I had the VIP722, I had a small USB powered fan at the left-rear corner of the box to force cooling. I switched to a Hopper 3 and found the external cooling was not necessary. Hopper 3 has 16 tuners, so you never have conflicts.

I've had a few battles with Dishnetwork myself anfd the only thing you can do, if you want to keep the service is, 1 Pay a 15.00 fee for them to come out or, 2 Ge them o the phone and they will take you through a diagnostics with you which should end up with them sending you a new receiver in abox that you will put your old receiver in adn return it to them. I paid the 15.00 fee because I refused to go throuh the diagnostics over the phone. I've had mine replaced at least three times. Other than having to deal with them over the phone, I like the service and I had even bigger problems with Directv. If you already have changed your frequencies and that doesn't work, the only other thing you can try is pulling the piece out at the bottom of remote under where it says "dish Networks" and turn it over. The piece does come out. I'm pretty sure they will not let you out of your contract so you will end up with additional fees if you drop the service.

If you mean Closed Captioning it can be disabled by hitting MENU, Preferences, Closed Caption. Make sure your TV doesn't have Closed Caption enabled by using your TV remote.

The DEMO mode is a setting in your TV and not your DISH receiver. For most TVs, use your TV remote, hit menu, and dig around until you see an option to reset all settings, or something phrased the same way. The TV should turn off then on, then ask you to set up your TV again. If you need more info, check your TV's owners manual.

Dish first suggestion is to unplug for 30 seconds and allow the unit to reboot itself.

Partial solution: I have had rabbit ears sitting on my roof, somewhat tied in with my dish, for close to two years. It's just a matter of running a coax out.

FYI...just know that when you get NETGEAR product...DISH no longer is responsible for the activation and troubleshooting...and NETGEAR starting activation is 40.00 and they keeping adding money for any further problems..till you get to 200.00 whole house

Hello, Frances.I can definitely provide some steps for you, and assist in getting this taken care of. I have listed the steps below to program the remote to your receiver. Make sure there are fresh batteries in the remote. Then take the TV2 remote to the main TV, and access the System Information screen.From there, hold down the SAT button until all mode lights light up. Enter a number between 1 and 15 using the number pad on the remote. Press the pound (#) button. Once the SAT button blinks three times, press record. Test the remote and see if it works.
