Thanks for all the input guys. I figured I would swap them out, nice to hear what others think.

Woke up the other day to find 622 green light on (power). Turn on tv; nothing. Can't turn off receiver, won't get any channels, nothing. Unplug for 30 seconds, plug back in, green light comes on, stays on, and still nothing. Call Dish, they can't pinpoint problem and will send out new...

I'll throw in my success story: I use 2 of these Thermaltakes, http://www.thermaltake.com/accessories/mobilefan/mobilefan2.htm one blowing in on the right and the other drawing on the left. Use a splitter to run both of them off the same rear USB. VIP622, in an enclosed credenza and on...

Now what happened to me, I ordered (upgrade, not new sub) 6/5. CSR Tom scheduled a 6/14 install and said NOTHING about them sending me the unit first. Installer gets here, asks where unit is. "Sorry dude, it's not here. Call E*" He did, I talked to CSR Alice, who said there's a 3 week...

I went to the menu and did 'hide adult' under locked channels. So every channel I don't want to show up on the guide, like the 8 billion shopping channels, I hid as adult, and don't see them on ANY menu. It's the only way I know of.

All right!! More riveting programming and intelligent bandwidth usage from the industry leader.

I'd like to know what you find out. My Panny CT34wx54 does the same thing, every now and again, now that I have the 942. My difference is that the installer has HDMI on one input and component on another, and I get the occasional A/V dropout on both. Mine also is configed to 1080i, but like...

According to your logic, a company losing money with new subs AND with existing subs should not be in business in the first place. These companies do what they are doing because THEY CAN. No if, ands, or buts. You threaten to switch to cable or D*? They say "see ya". They can afford the...

I don't think it's the idea of getting freebies as much as it is getting the option to upgrade. It's been beaten to death here that CSRs don't help much and each gives conflicting information. My request, as a 3 year subscriber, was to upgrade from my old 501 DVR to 625 or 942, and that I...

Whoopee. Where are the upgrades and promotions for existing subscribers? Answer? There are none. Sorry, my first post and it's a downer.
