Consider a wifi extender for the daughter's wifi. It's about the cleanest solution, plus your mother in law gets full wifi access for other things.

I gave up on mine, got tired of rebooting the unit, so Directv sent a tech out to my home and it kept dropping the signal for him too. So the tech hard-wired a small box into the system running off my router and I now have internet to every tv in the house.

I purchased the TV to use in our kitchen but wasn't ablt to get it to work at all -- no stations came through. I even tried connecting it up to another antenna but that didn't work either (the antenna that comes with the unit is small and rather flimsy). I ended up returning the unit to Amazon as I was so disappointed with it. In my opinion, it needs to be connected to a cable system/ernal extenna to work properly. I hope this help!

That system is very limited, it didn't support my 911 emergency dial up, so I don't believe so. I have Dish HD so I signed up for their phone & internet service and it works fine.

I have Dish Network connectyed to 1 input & my cable TV system connected to the other. I get great reception on my TV. If one connects multiple TV sets to the output with splitters, the signal may very well be degraded.

I bought one used from Amazon Marketplace for use as a WiFi adapter for the PC (I don't have Dish) and the thing had a Dish Logo on it! So that shows that Dish uses this adapter but on the other hand why did someone sell theirs on the internet?

I dont know. I have comcast cable. I was trying to resolve a different issue with my internet signal being weak. I can say it did not help in my case. Sorry I couldnt help.

My guess there is no internet connection, turn TV off restart, then it should work again....allow TV couple of minutes to connect to the internet (doesnt matter if wifi or cable)

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem>D-link wifi router>desktop pc>wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

You do need a WIFI signal (at least briefly) for some odd reason...maybe location to get a TV signal. It doesn't make sense but otherwise it will lock the TV channel even if you get a good signal.

You do know that this is a WiFi adapter for computers, right? There are no satellite signals involved, just an internet gateway in or near your house. If you are looking for something for Dish TV, this isn't what you want. P.S. it works fine for me, picks up more connections around the neigborhood than the WiFi built into my laptop.

Has anyone actually downloaded from the Dish Network? I have the 705 and installed the plugin. When I plugged the usb cable into my vip622 receiver, it did not acknowledge that there was a connection. By the way, if you are going to attempt to download from your receiver, you are going to need an usb a to usb a cable. Can anyone help since there are no instruction provided with the download?

you do have to have a satellite dish. hope you have better luck than i did. i got one it did not work. sent it back and they sent me another one that also did not work. i have another receiver so i know it is not my system. There support team just said they knew it worked so I just took the loss.

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.

i have to use our dish setup for the tv.it would probably be the same for cable.

I managed to connect with wifi-n. The problem is the TV is very slow and it's preferable to add a third party streamer.

Yea, this is really a buzz kill that none of the Sony Internet ready TVs seem to either have WiFI N built-in nor does Sony sell a proprietary WiFi USB dongle as an option like Samsung. The Linksys bridge is a lame way to get WiFi given the poor quality of Linksys and having to connect it to a bridge kind of ruins the while reason for having a wall mount TV. The Sony's do seem to have the best picture and the Yahoo Gadgets is very cool if not a real game changer (the App Store for TVs) but Sony seems to have really dropped the ball by not having a better WiFi N option for their TVs.
