I asked a similar question earlier but I asked about the 622... I have come to the conclusion I should be asking about the 625.... I was wondering if the 625 will work being hooked up to only one coaxial cable from the satellite Dish.....I only need it to run one TV and I don't care about...

I have a 508 and am about to replace it with a 622.... will I need to install a new dish? Although I have HD TV I am not sure I am going to subscribe to the HD Dish package....maybe just stick with SD for now. Also will the new 622 receiver require use of both coaxel lines from the...

I was told by tech support that the 510 is also having the same "software " issues.....

They have offered me either the 510 ( which I understand has the same loss of signal issue) or the 625.....but again they both come with the monthly charge. My guess is I will have to bite the bullet and up grade and pay the fee.....

I have written about my problem with my old 508 receiver. When I go to play a dvr recorded program my screen goes blank and I lose satellite signal. The receiver begins the process of resetting itself and I have to wait until it goes through it's 5 steps to get a picture again. I have spent 4...

No they haven't....

On Monday I got a call from Dish's audit/enforcement dept. They were less than friendly and wanted me to read off my two receivers since they suspected one was "illegal". I was able to do that as requested in one call and without "hanging-up". I have had this set-up for over 5 years but they...

Its an old 508..... Signal stregnth: 110-95 119-112

I was outside today and noticed that I have 100 ft cable running from my dish to my receiver....I could probaby cut off 25 feet or so to shorten the cable....do you think this might help a little bit with PQ. ( It's not bad but I do get a little pixel problem since I upgraded to a HD TV.....)...

I live in the Seattle area on Bainbridge Island.... I was wondering if anyone can comment on the PQ of the Comcast signal before I take the plunge and replace Dish with cable. I am interested in the full package including HD and DVR...... Thanks.....

So I took the plunge and called Dish today.... I got India...but I understood and they seemed to have an understanding as well.... If I want to trade out my 508 for a new 622 it will cost me initially $299 for the receiver but when everything is added up ( platinum/ locals/ HD fee/dvr fee/ 622...

Turning to the experts....is now the time to order/upgrade to the 622? I have been following this forum for sometime since I too was excited about the introduction of the 622. I planned to trade in one of my dish receivers ( both DVR in the 500 series... one is the model that DVR is free so I...

I understand...but... there is something a bit "fishy" about all this. This anticpated release has been in the works for quite some time and one would think that E* has ben testing and re-testing and even re-re-testing these units as they come off the line.... to realize the day of release that...

Has there been any official company acknowledgment to this fiasco? Or are they letting the CSRs in India speak for them?

I have been following the anticipation of the February 1 release of the new equiptment...I in fact have been waiting as well for the release of the 622. The big day arrived and Dish really blew it. How can they have 9760 defective receivers on opening day? How can their CSR be so badly...
