Per Dish Network: "Customer must subscribe to DishFAMILY, America's Top 100 or above, DishLATINO or above, Great Wall TV Package or any South Asian, Urdu, Russian or Arabic channel or packaged in order to subscribe to B4U Music." This may sound reasonable, but I subscribe to only Stand-alone...

Dish priced themselves out for me I cannot speak for others, but I chose Dish Net work several years ago thinking I will subscibe to some South Asian channels. I was mainly interested in the movies and music. Dish actually priced themselves out of getting any of my money because I found I can...

HD-Standalone Subscribers You are right, I do watch NGHD and the current rules require me to sub to AT-250 or above which I refuse to do. Since I have 622, MPEG4 conversion is not an issue. The main reason I paid full price for 622 and upgraded was to receive some of the new MPEG4...

How about HD only subscribers ? When I upgraded from 811 to 622 I only had HD Stand-alone package. (I know we are a small minority here !). I always owned my receivers. I do get all VOOM channels plus HD only channels. But I also get NGHD, ESPN-HD & ESPN2-HD for which I do not subscribe the SD...

Guide Data for 622 provided by 811 I have a "HD Ready" TV (no OTA tuner) connected to 622 and deactivated 811 which I own. 811 is still connected to the dish through DP34 and gets me most of the guide data. 811 does not show guide data for PBS HD stations (this I like to have) and most...

622 Power Consumption If you look at the back panel of 622, near the AC power plug it says: "120VAC, 60 Hz, 120 Watts". I do not know exactly what it means, is it average, peak, minimum ?????.

Mark_Ar, Thank you very much for taking time to answer my questions in a very detailed manner in messeges #147, #148 & #149. I completely agree with your concerns of unplugging the unit every day. (Actually the "counters" screen tells me how many times I did this, which is kind of annoying :D...

Mark_ar, you have the "coolest" running 622 in this thread. I live in S. Calif in the valley, last few days we had a high temp of 100 and it will be impossible to match your temp. Most of these threads do not state their room temperature. I like to know what was yours. Also what was the final...

Regarding DishHd Stand-Alone Package I found out about this on this forum few months back. The link if I give you may not work because you have to log into Dish Network with an account and password. Assuming you do, this is what you need to do: Go to "Customer Care", log in to your...

Dish Pick Your Package Deal I will be receiving my VIP622 today from Dish-Store for the new reduced price. Since I will be owning the unit and I have no commitments with Dish, I will be testing their advertisement. I am planning to subscribe to only the DISH-HD stand-alone package with out any...

HDMI And VIP622 I do not have a 622 yet, have one on order. So I have been trying to learn as much as possible from others in this forum. Some one , somewhere suggested that cold re-booting (by unplugging from the wall ) of BOTH tv and 622 solved their HDMI problem. So, please try that also...

Gutter, thank you very much. Your reply had exactly what I was looking for, firsthand information. I also found another thread which referred to www.dishchannelchart.com for the latest satellite by satellite channel listings.

With the new price drop of 211 and 622 receivers, I am thinking about owning one of these receivers. I have currently only old HDPACK subscription using 811. I have the regular dish 500 and another one at 61.5 for VOOM channnels. Among the new HD channels I want to make sure I get are ESPN2-HD...

$6 Fee on 622 My understanding is that $299 fee is charged for leasing customers for the previlege of leasing and the monthly $6 fee will be charged as long as he is a subcriber. The only way avoid this is to outright buy the 622 at MSRP which used to be above $650 and now dropped to $499...

Abc 7 Hd In La I have been watching ABC 7 HD on a regular basis during the early evening hours (4:00 to 6:30 pm ) ever since Eye Witness News went HD. I do use my own over the air antenna connected to Dish 811. I never noticed any of the problems you have described. (But I have NOT watched...
