Please PM me if you are. Need some help today if possible. Thanks, Doug

I've noticed on my 722K there is usually a small difference (2 - 3 points) between the two OTA tuners on the same channel (bring up PIP and tune to the same OTA channel in each window, then SWAP to get signal strength) perhaps due to the splitting of the OTA signal inside the tuner module. I've...

I have friends whom I convinced to switch to Dish from DirecTV when they went to a HD set, in order to take advantage of Dish's expanded HD offerings. They got a 622 and for the most part have had minimal issues with the exception of MLB EI. Apparently when recording games off of MLB EI, they...

If you live in the Northern California area and are willing to come and pick this stuff up (dish is still up but I'll help disassemble), it's yours for the taking: 12' Paraclipse Classic "T" with buttonhook feedhorn C/Ku LNB Feedhorn with 15 degree C Band LNB (no Ku LNB mounted) working...

For those of you in the Sacramento DMA wondering what's up with Dish not broadcasting KTXL Fox 40 in HD yet, here's a note I received from them (within a few hours by the way) when I inquired about how things were going with Dish Network: "Thanks for your inquiry. We're anxious to be carried...

A couple of months ago - mid March or so - some friends of mine subscribed to Dish as new customers. At that time, there was a $100 rebate being offered (10 months of $10 off your current bill). They just noticed that this is not showing up on their statement and Dish is giving them some type...

I'd ask that you lobby Dish to add National Geographic HD when it becomes available. I don't think it has to be wordy, but just something to let the programming department know if you are interested. I used the email link at http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/faq/index.shtml and just said I'd...

I ordered a Dish 500 I Adaptor (allows a DP Dual LNB to be mounted centered on a Dish 500 rather than off to the side in a "Y" Adaptor) in preparation for putting up a dedicated 129 dish. The adaptor arrived nicely packed and in a plastic sleeve, however it also arrived in two pieces split down...

I'll be upgrading from a 942 to a 622 after April 1st. I currently have a D500 for 110 and 119, and another D500 with a dual LNB pointed at 61.5. Since I'm in Northern California, I intend to stick with a 2 dish solution but move the 61.5 dish over to 129 since the look angle to 61.5 is so low...

Out of curiosity for those folks who have been dealing directly with DISH, what was your reason for not using a local retailer? In my case I wanted to deal with someone local if issues arose, and since retailers honor all DISH promotions, there didn't seem to be any financial reason either to...

Is anyone having an issue with the HDMI output of the 622 sync'ing with their TV? I have a situation where the TV will not sync with the 622 when the TV is first turned on unless you pull the HDMI cable and re-insert (which causes a resync I believe). Cycling the 622 on/off doesn't make any...

Did I miss the post? Inquiring minds want to know! Vicki? Cheers, Doug

Has anyone successfully used the Voom STB via DVI to a non-HDCP compliant display? Not being an HDCP guru, it's not clear to me if HDCP is only enabled (may be application dependent, right?) if the "broadcast flag" is set, or if the source is 720p/1080i - meaning 480i/480p is always passed...

Well - after just three days of having Voom, I've already had one of my HT buddies decide to sign up for a two room system. Hopefully if we can keep the subs growing our beloved Voom will continue to provide service into the distant future... Being an old C-Bander and Voom being my first...

I know I read about these topics as I've been prepping for my install for quite some time. Now that I'm up and running, I went back and couldn't find the info so being the kind of guy that will (occasionally) ask for directions when lost, perhaps someone can point me in the right direction...

I have a Voom install scheduled for tomorrow and following the tips and advice here on the board, I called Installs Inc., got the name of my installer, then called them to verify appointment and equipment. I had been pretty insistent with the Voom folks about getting a 24" dish on the initial...
