So - today my hopper started going to a blue screen of death anytime I switch to the netflix channel (in the 300's). Requires a soft reboot to get the hopper back (pressing power & reset together), otherwise the unit locks up and will not respond to any key presses. Thoughts?

My home flooded last spring, and during the rebuild we decided to not go back with floor speakers or credenza full of equipment. So now I have a new 7.1.4 Golden Ear Atmos system with front speakers wall mounted and the other 8 in the ceiling. The new pioneer 11 channel receiver is now in a...

I want to install a joey in my shop. I know the max recommended distance is 200'. The shop is 198' from the house, but by the time I add the distance to the tv on one end and to the node on the other I am probably about 230'. Does anyone have any experience with hopper/joey and this...

Tried to view a recorded show from my bedroom hopper this weekend & found that all recordings were mysteriously gone. On further investigation all of my timers were also gone. Software version is 222 - which has probably been on the for a few weeks, so I don't suspect the software...

Switching from a 722K with a maxxed out timers list will be a chore, one that I haven't done since converting from a 942 many moons ago. Does anyone know of a trick or tweak that would enable someone to print out or export the timers list to a printable file? Or to back up the timers list in...

I'm considering Directv after having Dish for over 12 years - mainly because of the whole house HD capability. With my dish 722K and an OTA antenna I can currently record 3 HD streams while watching a 4th stream (up to 2 HD Satellite streams & 2 HD OTA streams). I currently have an HD DVR...

New Orleans locals are not yet available in HD, so I am using an external antenna for both my 622 & 722. The program guide integrates the info for the HD OTA locals, however for SOME of the channels the program guide info is totally wrong, and it displays the shows that would be on the UHF...

Finally got an HD TV for our bedroom. Considering getting a second 622, but curious how soon the 612 will be out.

Who Dat? Who Dat? Who Dat Sayin Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints? No One This Year - That's For Sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 622 has suddenly begun randomly dropping timers that have been previously set. No - it's not because of rerun season. For example I set a new timer yesterday morning to record all new episodes of daybreak, verified the timer was there, and when I got home from a meeting last night the show...

My local NBC affiliate reported this morning that Dish & Direct were once again in merger talks. If I remember correct they tried this a couple years ago but were shot down by the FCC. Does anyone have any more info?

I took advantage of the upgrade offer & switched my 942 for a 622 a few months ago. My owned 501 is now failing - So I would now like to replace it with a 211 for the bedroom. Customer service says that I can't, because only one upgrade is allowed in a 12 month period. Does anyone...

My 622 is set up in dual mode. I am using a channel plus modulator to distribute my cable signals throughout the house. It is a 2 piece unit with a modulation unit & a distribution head. On the distribution head there are 3 inputs (1 for antenna, and 2 for modulated signals) & 8 outputs. I used...

My Sony Grand Wega is HDMI, as well as my 942 (622 coming next week!). I currently am using the DVI to HDMI cable with the DVI converter that came with my 942. I have no problems, and the audio even passes through. I am wondering if there is a noticeable difference if I were to go buy a...

I am contemplating having my 942 upgraded to a 622. they have just contacted me to offer me the free upgrade after rebates & credits. I currently have 2 dishes - a Superdish and a 500. I am in the New Orleans DMA, and subscribe to AT180, MPEG2 HD Pak, Voom, and New Orleans Locals. I've...

Or at least I think it was called the "Home Head End" or something like it. It was announced about the same time as the 942, and was supposed to be a box for the exterior of your home that would contain modular units that could be swapped out. The modules were going to be : Tuners, hard...

Is it just me? Or are there others whose 942 does a horrible job of picking up HD OTA locals? Whether I try to scan or do a manual add - I can only get 1 HD OTA local. There are several more that come in fantastic from the built in HD receiver in my TV (55" Sony Grand Wega rear projection...

My 942 installation has taken from August until October, and still isn't finished. I won't go into ALL of the gory details, but they have now been to my home 6 times, and I just won't have them back again. The last guy they sent was scared of heights, so I went on the roof (single story 4/12...

I am becoming so fed up with Dish that I am considering Charter Cable. They are offering competitive pricing, and an HD DVR. There is however not much info on their web site about the equipment. I would also have to give up the Voom channels, BUT would gain HD locals for New Orleans (which...

I already have a Superdish & a Dish 500 (needed these to get New Orleans locals along with Voom). I was set up this way when I paid the installation for my 942. I shouldn't need an installation, but simply the swapout of my leased 942 for a leased 622. Do you think I will still be charged...

My 942 in dual mode will not show locals on both TV1 & TV2 simultaneously MOST of the time. Sometimes it works just fine, and other times if you are watching locals on either 1 or 2 & try to turn on the other it knocks out the one you were watching 1st. Also - last night we were out & came...
