I have a 612 on our upstairs TV that seems to freeze about 4-5 times each week. It automatically restarts per the schedule (in the afternoon so it doesn't wake me up) but we have to do a hard restart (holding down the power button) quite regularly. My 622 downstairs is rock solid (have maybe...

I have a Seagate Freeagent EHD that has been working fine. As has been posted in other threads, this drive spins down and the 622 doesn't recognize it. My solution to this (as I use it very infrequently) has been to just unplug the USB and then plug it back in. So far, so good - this has always...

Has anyone else noticed a particularly bad PQ on KCPQ-HD from Dish? Up until KCPQ switched to VHF (boo!) after the digital switchover, I've had to get my feed from Dish and not OTA. What I've noticed is that the picture seems to "pulse" from nice and sharp to fuzzy/full of compression...

I just replaced a D-Link 655 router with an Airport Extreme and in the process have lost my access to my receiver through dish.sling.com. According to my 622, the connection is fine - it got its IP address, it tells me it's connected, and when I do a connection test it says "Broadband OK."...

Maybe this has been around for awhile, but I just noticed that KONG-16 and KMYQ-22 are in HD from Dish here in Seattle. What's interesting things about this is that these are not any of the big networks. KONG is a sister station to the local NBC affiliate (KING-5), but itself is not affiliated...

If you are a fan of the Seattle Sounders FC, you may know their game is on Fox Soccer Channel - a channel that is usually only available in the Gold packages and up. However, this month there's a Free Preview for this - Channel 149 - so you can watch the Sounders on Saturday at Noon.

For the last two nights, I've been awakened by the loud loud fan of my new (< 1 month) 612 rebooting itself. And each time, it's been exactly at 3:00am. I don't have anything scheduled for recording at that time. Any ideas as to what may be happening and, more importantly, how to stop it? The...

My wife decided we need to upgrade to HD in the bedroom so it's time to retire the 508 receiver that's been rock solid (knock on wood) for over 7 years. In looking at the current offerings, I think that my best plan would be to use Dish'n' it Up to get a 722 to replace the 622 on the main TV...

There have been a few threads around here about the fact that due to bandwidth issues, Dish isn't broadcasting every RSN baseball game in HD when the source material is available. In my case, it was the Mariners - a few games that I know were available from Fox Sports Northwest in HD (they...

Here in Seattle, I'm unable to get KOMO (ABC) via Dish because of a contract dispute between the station owner and Dish. I'm lucky enough, however, to be able to get that channel OTA so I can record it onto my 622. I guess it's a testament to MPEG4 because I really can't tell the difference...

So the HDMI on my 622 finally died (after searching these forums I realized I was quite lucky it had lasted as long as it did) and Dish is sending out a replacement. Question: I already have one EHD that's plugged in and working, but is just about full. My plan is to get a second EHD, plug it...

Anyone else experiencing this? (Anyone else still have a 508 in service? :-). Last week sometime every one of my timers just disappeared. When I went to put them back, I realized that "All" ones didn't work. Weekly, M-F, Once, etc. all worked, but when I set up an All timer, it wasn't picking up...

Last night I watched first half of The Andromeda Strain remake on A&E HD. I think this is a perfect example why it doesn't matter, at least to me, that these new HD channels have so little HD: when they have new, original programming, I want and fully expect it to be in HD. I didn't even have...

Problems with picture on ABC Thursday night? I recorded both Grey's Anatomy and Lost tonight on KOMO-HD (6414) here in Seattle on my 622 and here are some serious problems. Quite a few times throughout the recordings I lost the picture but the sound was OK. The picture pixellated like what...

Before I go to all the trouble of getting my 622 on my home network, what kind of programming is available for downloading? In particular, is there anything that is free? One of the nice things about Comcast's OnDemand service is that there is tons of free stuff - especially children's...

My 622 isn't experiencing this, but I'm posting for a friend. He has a 622 with v. 4.47 software and has a strange bug. Whenever he is recording HD, he loses audio on any SD or HD that he is trying to play back. The audio on the HD that's being recorded is fine (as is anything else that's...

If you needed an excuse to get that HDD for your 622, here it is :-). Sure the HD-DVD may be a bit better quality (and not have ads), but for reference quality and eminently re-watchable HD, do yourself a favor and record this, archive it, and never let it go... Starting November 11, 2007...

After nearly 7 years, a 508 that I own finally gave up the ghost. I'm not too concerned as there wasn't anything critical on the HD and I happen to have another 508 waiting in the wings that I also own that was replaced by a 942 and then 622 long ago. My guess is that it's the power supply -...

Just tried to watch a recording of the movie "The Underneath" that I DVR'd from Universal HD a while back on my 622. At three separate places in the movie, I got the "Signal has been lost" error message and then started seeing the feed from KCTV channel 5 - it was their local news. It was a bit...

Maybe it's just me, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed this and/or had a possible fix. I have an indoor OTA antenna that works pretty well - most of the channels are in the 70-80 range, but sometimes it flakes out and I have to move the antenna around a bit to avoid losing the signal...

My TV is a 4x3 HDTV. As such I understand that it's a bit of a rarity, with nearly all HD sets sold today being 16x9 widescreen. In the settings of the 942 I see that there are two apparently discrete settings for TV Type (1080i, 720p, and 480p) and the other is for Aspect Ratio (16x9, 4x3 #1...
