I have a serious problem and wondered if anyone else has noticed it. I searched and didn't find it under discussion elsewhere - forgive me if I missed it. L511 I believe is the software version. Were talking about DVD recorded shows. Whenever you fast reverse or fast forward, when you get...

I just upgraded to a 722 and the installer didn't have a clue as to how to connect the household output to another TV in the house. So he made excuse after excuse and finally didn't do it. I figured it out and now have the Household output going to 2 other TV's around the house. Now I...

I just got a 722 but in West Palm Beach I can only get HD locals by OTA. This sucks if I want to watch one HD network and record another in HD. I was reading another post and had an idea (oh no). I run my sat signals through my audio amp then to the TV (Mitsu 65 HD). OTA cable is...

Can anyone tell me where to find the Implementation schedule for putting HD local channels on Sat by city and date? I have looked and can't find it.

I still have a question about the tuners in a 622/722. I'm concidering upgrading. I know there are 2 Sat tuners in the receiver and the capablity to receive OTA channels. On my 921 you can only watch/record 1 HD and 1 SD channel at the same time. If both 622/722 tuners are HD, can you...

What determines if (or when) your area gets it local channels broadcast in HD over the satellite? I was told the West Palm Beach channels are NOT available on DISH in HD that I will have to get them with an OTA antenna. Just curious.

I can't believe this will cost this much - am I missing something here? Is it really this much? I can upgrade my 921 (I only watch OTA HD so no HD package) to a new 622 DVR receiver for $49 after rebate - that's OK. BUT 250 pkg 52.99 HD pkg 20.00 (less 10.00 a month...

I have an old 921 that works pretty well but since it can't get mpeg4, I only watch HD local OTA channels. I know the 622 is out there and see that there is a new receiver about ready to come out. Is there any upgrade offers for my 921 to something else and what would you guys recommend...

YES, I'm still using a 921 HD DVR because I paid $1000 for it and want to get my moneys worth. Besides, I OWN it. Anyway, I have a serious problem and wondered if anyone has had the same thing. (probably I'm the only person still using the 921) When I set the recorder to record a show...

Sorry to probably beat a dead horse but I have been gone from the board for some time and just heard about this issue with the old VS new HD receivers. I went back 10 pages looking for an explanation but all I can find is discussions on a trade-in or upgrade deal. I have a 921 ($1000 for...

Hi all, Does anyone know a GOOD reputable installer for my DISH system in the Lake Worth, FL area? That's south of West Palm Beach near Boynton and Drlray. I have a 921 system and off air I need reinstalled from a move. Terry

Hi all I have a new strange problem. I recorded NUMBERS the other night and when I started to play it back, besides the "Broadcast in HD" banner at the bottom as it started, it also said "Dolby Digital 5.1". My problem is I get all the background music and the picture and the receiver...

Hi all, I got a 921 a while back to replace my 501. When I called to activate the 921 I told them to deactivate the 501 as I had no plans on using it. They wanted me to return it so I got to thinking. Why not put it in the guest house?? Problem is, it's too far away to run a cable from...

Has anyone figured out how to do this? I have tried to click record when on an OTA menu listing to get the channel right, but I can't figure out how to set the times. If I go the other route and hit record on a locat Sat Channel menu to get the times, then I can't change the channel to the...

OK, this is probably elementary stuff for most of you, BUT as a new HD 921 owner (had a 501) I have a few questions. The BLUE light on the front of the receiver LIT BY ITSELF means HD - but it appears that there is HD then there is REAL HD. Can someone explain why some HD doesn't really look...

Hi all, I got a new 921 installed yesterday and have been playing around with it a LOT. So far the only major question I have is that when I do a search for Digital OTA stations, I can't find a Miami or Ft Lauderdale ABC station. If I do an analog search, I find channel 10 ABC but the...

I lost my house to a fire in Feb of 2000 and never bought a new system. If I wanted back into Dish, would they still know I once had a system or can I get in on the NEW customer deals? How long do they remember you and is it by SS number or name? Many thanks

I currently have a 501 and our development supplies cableTV as part of the homeowners fees. The DISH guy hooked up the Sat signal so it comes in on the original cableTV cable. It is then split at the TV, Sat to the 501 and cableTV out to another TV input. It's handy because I can watch ED on...

Hi all, I have a Mitsu 65" HDTV that is HD capable but does NOT have the HD converter inbuilt. TV is about 18 months old. I love my DP501 but want to go to a 921 when available. I have a few questions. Do I need to buy a HD decoder besides the 921? If so, are there better decoders...
