I'm going to join in on the screwed up 622 fest here. Over about the last week it is becoming nearly impossible is use. Similar issues to discussion here. LoS screen popups in middle of recordings. It's random, sometimes like 5 times a minute, others not for 30 minutes. It doesn't matter...

No threatening needed here... Just sent a nice e-mail off to CEO stating that I reviewed my options, this made the most sense, can you please change me. Had a response that day and am a happy TurboHD Gold customer.

I love Harmony, they are great technology. However, for me this is a great solution. My upstairs TV is an Olevia that doesn't work with the current Dish remotes and is also UHF to the receiver. Short of IR senders a Harmony will not work for me, so a learning Dish remote is great.

I'm not really sure why you would want them mapped down. The picture quality is so overcompressed poor it is almost hard to watch. I'd complain if my SD looked this bad, let alone my HD.

Good morning all... Is there any cost-effective way to add 118.7 to a 110,119,129 setup? I know I could swap out the whole set for what looks like over $300, or try and wrangle Dish into doing it with some international channel. Just curious if there is any way to do it for $50 to $100 with a...

Perfect, thank you all for the replies.

Since I live in a market that will never see HD locals beyond some ancient promises (Indianapolis), I am considering "moving" so that I can record more than one HD feed. If I do so, will I lose my guide data on my Indianapolis OTA locals?

Well, I wish I had news, but I am not in the know. I finally got fed up this weekend and bought another new antenna. This one seems to reject multipath better which I assume is the problem with every other software version. No drop-outs yet on 443. It's sad that I have to buy a 75 mile...

Thank you for making me feel not alone :) Unfortunetly, welcome back to Dish flip-flopping on actually fixing this issue. It was so nice to have it working with the last software. I guess we are stuck until a new version is released again and then maybe it will work a while. Couldn't they...

I'm with you on the multi-path annoyance. My antenna equipment hasn't changed and the drop-outs are back. With the last software everything was great. Since 443, I'm back to the issues they introduced several versions ago with these random drop-outs. I was just curious if others noticed this...

My OTA reception has gone back to spotty and horrible again since 443 came out. Anyone else noticed this? Everything was working beautiful until 443. Now I am getting the 100 signal to 0 back to 100 thing again just like the old inbetween software versions. I hadn't noticed anyone...

I have my upstairs and downstairs HDTV's split via component out of my 622. I used a cheap little Radio Shack 4-2 switcher splitter for component. Works great. The only artifact I see is an occasional power phase issue. I am sure that if I intently scanned the screen I could see some issues...

Ok, I hate to add to the original sentiment, but... I agree, everyone just wants their locals. However, Indianapolis got Dish'd a little worse than others. We were in the turn-up list for last year, and even in testing at some point. Dish publicly stated it would be online before January...

If you are not worried about separate programming, there are items that extend a component signal. You could use that to feed two HD TVs without a seperate receiver. Just a thought.

From my experience, I had much better luck with Dish direct. I know it can happen either way, but my local retailer sent out a bum installer when I first signed up. He did a real lazy job to get done as quick as possible. The dish was poorly mounted and suffered from a lot of weather...

I suppose it could be a multipath issue, but it did not happen last year on my HD STB. The antenna is indoor, so it is not wind related. It is very odd in its behavior though... I can be happily watching a station with 85-87% signal and then boom it drops out, about 2 second later it comes...

Ok, maybe it is just me... Did everyone elses OTA HDTV get worse on the 811 recently? I remember seeing it briefly mentioned in another thread that this happened with the new s/w. Maybe it was talked about more, but I could have missed it :). At any rate, it is just downright bad now...

I apologize for not posting anymore. I did recheck, and my 522 is now at 2.33. However, as of yet I have seen no difference. Mind you, I would never know if they added more ITV crap. For all I know, it was just an upgrade to support Horse Racing. This could be possible, as I do live in one...

I just ran home for lunch and found my 522 at a please wait while you receiver is programed screen. After a bit, I checked and the version was sitting at L233... The Dish Network tech page does not show this version. Did I miss something on here? Or am I just first? I'll give it some more...

Dishnetwork 811: $49 dollars . HDTY Setup: $1000 dollars . 2.81 Software Upgrade: $? dollars of development . . . .... Rebooting randomly with 2 outs in the top of 9th of the world series: Priceless Stupid box :)

Not a CSR, but I did convince corporate office to do it when I added my 811. Still fighting to get billed right though :)

I will definetly echo the don't spend a lot theory. I just got my 811 last month, and it did not come with a cable. I dropped by Circuit City where they generously offered me to buy a $120 monster cable. Oddly, I opted not to make this purchase and got a $6 (incl. shipping) cable on E-bay...

If you want it to output both 5.1 and 2 channel on the optical than you are all set. This is how I run mine. That way, you do not need analog audio cables hooked up to your A/V receiver.

It almost got me too. They have a correction up now stating it is incorrect. I bet they got a lot of people excited though :)

I have a Phillips 30". It was the perfect size for my room, and I am very happy with it. 34" might have been better, but not for my money. I can not speak to the Sony part, but I love my 30" widescreen in general. BTW, the new Samsung widescreens with built-in HD tuners seem to be hitting...
