So what did I miss? 1. I caught a wiff of some type of offer in January for existing DISH users..I just purchased HD BRONZE last fall and didn't get any letter and this went away Feb 1 so I have no idea if I missed out on something that would have saved me money. 2. HD is making me crazy. I...

I have 2 channels acting up: Cartoon Network has audio drops roughly every minute or so. Its driving absolutely insane. This has been going on for weeks now and I haven't had a chance to log on here & fuss about it. SOmteimes it does it 2 times in a row. I'm going crazy... Second, NBC...

It seems the sound bug issue is mostly resolved, but now I'm getting a 'black screen' twice in succession (about 2 seconds apart). Very annoying. I recorded a beautiful "sunrise earth" today with various 'best of' sunrises from the west. I wanted to keep it but when I watched it the entire...

I'm searching around and see several threads on this. Its extremely annoying. I noticed it last night on ESPN while watching the Titans that it happened probably a half dozen times. Makes me feel like my satellite antenna isn't getting a good signal or something. Is there a general...

When I run audyessy on my SR606 I unplug the DVR because its too 'noisy' for me. Now I'm starting to notice it at night when I'm watching tv with the volume down..just a steady humm/low level buzz thats right on the verge of being irritating. Does anyone have any suggestions for making this...

still continue to be the 'fringe' channels for me. Even though I'm having to deal with the loss of MOJO (from comcast) and VOOM (from DISH) I am still finding I watch channels that I never had when I watched SD tv. At the moment, my favorite channel is HD Theater (hands down). I just watched...

Is there not any way to do this? I can't tell you how frustrating it is to wade through the menus to find and activate the cc on or off on my 722. I have a Harmony that I'm about to make my primary remote and if I can't find a way to get the cc on and off with a single button I'm not...

Caveats: 1. its a refurb w/ a 1-year manufacturer warranty. If refurbs scare you this probably isn't for you. 2. you will pay roughly $320 now, and have to wait 60 days for the $90 microsoft cash to show up. I know some people don't like rebates. Five left from the seller this morning...

Because I still have my $11 analog cable going and Nashville HD channels are available from DISH, I can 'flip' back and forth between my HDMI-DISH feed and my coaxial cable input for local stations. What I've found is the picture looks better(?) on the cable. Its a bit tough to describe and I...

1. I still have comcast $11/mo 'basic cable' which has locals in HD and some other junk. Can the tuner in the 722 tune those in under the "OTA" option if I hook up my coaxial cable to the back of the DVR? I am a little hesitant to do that unless I know its not going to blow anything up. Is...

Of course when the tech comes out they're moving 100mph and I'm trying to keep up and ask the right questions. By the time I remembered to ask (I live in Nashville) he had already mounted the DISH and said "Yeah, I got one eastern arc unit in my van but I don't install it unless I can't get a...

Anyone had a problem getting your DVR to 'talk' to your DHCP server? I had my DHCP server set to "manual" when the tech plugged in my DVR today. However, now I set it to 'dynamic' (and I know it works..I plugged in another device to it and it successfully provided the IP info) but the DVR...

Get a 500GB external drive for $55 (after rebate) | The Cheapskate - CNET News Anyone know if that is a good drive to use for storage? At this price I might get 2 and that little USB dock thingie.

I had ReplayTV boxes for years and loved them. One of my absolute favorte features was being able to log into my DVR from any web browser and set 'timers' for events. This meant that if I wasn't home and had forgotten something I wanted to record was coming up, all I needed was a computer...

I weighed the pros & cons ($50 to move up to 722, pushing back my install date) and decided to stay with the 612. Tell me if my logic is bad here. * I am only getting the HD package. I know they can downscan the signal so it will work on other TVs, but I really don't watch other tvs in the...

I think my experience here is going to be much better than before. Very very nice woman I worked with. However, I forgot to ask 2 questions in the midst of trying to digest about 400 pieces of info: - What DVR will I get? The 722? Is it rated at what..30 hours HD recording? - Does it...

What does this mean? All I know is the VOOM networks looked fantastic back when we had them. Can you really tell a difference in the new HD? I understand all the stuff about the 1080p stuff for PPV movies; I'm wondering about the 'regular' HD and how it compares to OTA/old VOOM/standard...

1. Is it possible as a new customer to pay $24.99/mo for basic HD package and buy nothing else? 2. Where are the hidden fees? Reciever rental? DVR rental? 3. How much tax is there? I don't want to sign up for $25/mo service only to get a bill in the mail for $37.72 each month. 4. Who is...

Just had to say it. HD is still 'magical' to me. Because of that, I honestly don't want to see CSI in HD. I mean, so it looks nicer..its still CSI. VOOM to the rescue. My parents have a new DISH & 622 DVR and for the entire week I was there it was M A G I C We watched Flipper in HD...

1. Can I change the gray bars to black? I read somewhere someone said there's a button on the remote to do that..but I didn't see one while I was in Monroe and now I'm not there so I would have to talk my parents through it remotely (no pun intended). What did I miss? 2. I 'locked' their...

The installer has come & gone..can I just string up an antenna (either indoor or out) and plug in coax to the back of the 622 to see how many I get? Which option to I click to 'search for local OTA HD' without messing anything they've already done up? I noticed my locals are 08, 010, 012...

How can I tell? Nothing in the programming guide tells me..and I went to the NFL website and only found a vague "some preseason games may be broadcast in HD". Are you serious? Do we just have to 'wait and see' when its broadcast to know if its going to be HD or not?

But I've been hanging around here and AVS for quite a while. I have an installer coming on Friday and I'm trying to be as prepared as possible since this is an out-of-town trip for me. Here is what I've gathered thus far: - If your dish points to satellite 129..make sure its 'peaked'...
