    What happened? What birds should I be pointing to?

    A few years ago, from what I can recall, there was a big change from 110/119 & 61.5 to 61.5 72 & 77. I had my installer come in and setup a Dish 1000 and he could only get 61.5 & 72; I knew I lost some channels but just never had the chance to follow up... The kids were not complaining and I...

    Repointed 61.5 to 129, lost HD Locals (NYC)

    I repointed 61.5 to 129 per all the hype, now all the HD Locals (New York City) are gone. Should I have added a 4th dish for 129 rather than repoint?

    I have been using a western digital MyBook for a number of years now with my VIP 622. Recently I noticed that I could not access the external drive and I performed power downs & reboots to no avail. I have seen some info on the 860 error but nothing conclusive. Is the WD External Hard Drive...

    Digital Sound and the 622

    Newbie type question here, but do I need an optical cable to get digital sound out of my 622 and put into my surround sound receiver? I am using component and rca to get picture and sound from my 622 to my receiver. I do not use HDMI because of the DR limitations on multi room. When I...

    622 Crashes , SBSOD

    I heard it called the 'Screaming Black Screen of Death' in a post from last year. My 622 has done it 3 times in the last two days and scared the heck out of my son. Tell me I'm not the only one with the problem. I had the problem 1 or 2 times last summer. Always happens while watching a...

    622 with blank picture

    My 622 is not displaying a picture on the HDMI out. I’m using an HDMI to DVI converter and I can get the picture back if I play with the cables, I’m thinking that the HDMI to DVI converter may be going bad-- actually, I am hoping. Anyone have a similar issue? faster68

    Should FTC / FCC get involved? Should a lawsuit be considered?

    NOTE: If you are happy with the ViP622 upgrade requirement for new DVR / HDs channels, please do not post in this thread. I think we need a discussion with those who bought the 921/924 over the last year and half and now are asked to pony up another $700.00, so that on average we would have...

    921 DVR loses a day

    I've recognized a pattern in my 921. When starting a DVR event the unit will hang. Turning on and off the power will reboot the DVR event but, and this is the odd part, my DVR recoding events are moved ahead one day. Last night my weekly timer for Rome started and recorded Spider Man 2...
