We have two Dish 622 units for sale. Remotes and manuals are included. $150 each plus shipping from central NJ. Account was deactivated and paid. (PM me for numbers to check with dish if you are interested). Neighbors trees got too tall and we had to switch to FIOS:mad:

My TV tuner is not identifying the non-encrypted digital local NYC stations included in my limited basic subscription. All I can find is the encrypted channels even though Comcast assures me that the local broadcast channels are not encrypted. If I knew the base channels I could input that...

Any idea what TV brands? I lost HDMI today. Sharp 26D40U. Ray

Try transponder 29 for 61.5

Common sense Guess this was a no-brainer. Called Dish and scheduled a service call to install proper grounding. Thanks for the responses. Ray

I have been reading about proper grounding on this BB and as a result I took a look at my installation. Dish installed a Dish 500 a little over a year ago. There are two sets of cables, one directed to a 522 receiver and the other directed to a 322 receiver. The cables from the dish enter...
