    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    I had 3 or 4 622s fail and got completely fed up. I refused to accept another 622 and instead insisted on a 722k as that was the newest at the time. I was adamant with them that there must be some problem with the 622 since it kept failing repeatedly. I was nice but very firm with the rep...

    ESPN GamePlan for 1 week only?

    Thank you, you are correct. I had just heard that WSYX was picking the game up, so that makes this problem go away. Nice work Channel 6!

    ESPN GamePlan for 1 week only?

    Can I order GamePlan just for one week? Ohio State plays Toledo next week and it is only offered on ESPN360 and GamePlan, and I really don't want to watch it on 360. I checked my account and it didn't have an offer to purchase 1 week, just the whole year.

    Dish needed for Tailgate

    I took a look at the Channel List and it seems ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD are also on the 129 location. I see you're in Ohio, so your locals are on 129 too so you could point there and get both. 129 will be harder to find than 119 or 110 since it's a weaker signal, so you may be ahead to go with 110...

    Am I paying too much?

    Finally got around to taking everyone's advice... I went online and did a chat with a very nice rep (Hasibpah) and asked what I was getting for the $10 platinum charge... heexplained it. I then asked how I could lower my bill and that I had heard from others that Platinum was being offered for...

    Am I paying too much?

    I noticed some of the new Dish promotions are substantially cheaper than what I am now paying and am wondering if I should call and ask for a better deal. I am currently out of contract and just got done fighting a major battle to get my service back up after 2 installers couldn't get the 129...

    129 Trouble

    Thanks everyone for the tips... I worked on peaking 129 and still wasn't having much luck. I then ignored my wife's threats and moved my dish mount about 3 feet up my roof (west) and before I could even get a screw in the signal meter started buzzing higher! I got it installed nice and plumb...

    129 Trouble

    Here's the situation: I have Dish 1000/VIP 622. All was fine, one day 119/110 stopped coming in, 129 channels were fine with decent signal strength. Called Dish, they sent tech who replaced 119/110 LNB on Dish 1000. After that, 119/110 were fine, but 129 was out. They said that 129 was...

    EV-DO broadband to 722?

    I would recommend a CradlePoint CTR500 router - those work pretty good. It has both the wireless router as well as a slot for your EVDO card - it supports USB and ExpressCard. I echo the recommendation on the 3GStore - they are awesome. I set my 622 to phone home at 3AM and it works great.

    622 Ethernet - What time of day does it "phone home"?

    Thanks! I checked the same and found that my last updated was on 11/18 at 3:29, and my next one is scheduled for 11/25 at 3:28. Based on that, I can plan on having my internet connection come up at 3:20 AM and that should cover it. Again, thanks for the info! This will help me save the $5...

    622 Ethernet - What time of day does it "phone home"?

    I have canceled my landline phone service since we never use it and want to switch my 622 over to an ethernet connection to avoid the $5 per month fee. I have an ethernet set up in my house, with a router from Linksys that lets you plug in a Verizon data card for your internet. The problem is...

    119 Channels - Fine on Tuner 2, Freezing on Tuner 1

    Here's my issue on a 622 w/ a Dish 500: The video & audio on channels on 119 are digitizing and freezing up completely. 110 & 129 channels are fine. Check switch shows fine. Point dish does not show any issues with signal (even or odd transponders), although some transponders will drop...

    622 - Issues with volume of voices on HD Channels (music/background volume fine)

    You nailed it! :up I ran the test-tone and it immediately identified that somehow one of my center channel wires was pulled out of the socket. Little bit of a duh moment for me because I never thought to look at that, but I'm happy as the problem is solved! Thanks everyone for the posts!

    622 - Issues with volume of voices on HD Channels (music/background volume fine)

    Thanks for the responses! I believe I may have a bad (or almost) bad optical cable. I checked to see if it was fully plugged in, and as I was jiggling it, I seemed to get a better response out of the audio. Unfortunately, I couldn't go back to the DVR of Desparate Housewives because my wife...

    622 - Issues with volume of voices on HD Channels (music/background volume fine)

    I have been having an intermittent problem with voices on HD channels. Previously, it was limited to sports events, in which the volume of the announcers was either low or non-existent. I could however hear the crowd noise and other noise from the event (sound of the golf ball getting hit...

    622 remote codes for VIZIO tv's

    No signal - blue screen. Component works fine. No. I use HDMI with my Mits projection, and I was afraid that it might go out due to the incompatibility if I used it with the Vizio. This might be crazy, but I didn't want to risk it because I don't need to use HDMI with my Vizio anyway...

    622 remote codes for VIZIO tv's

    I have the L32 and love it - for $799 the quality cannot be touched. My friend has one, and it's working great for him too. The only issue he has is that he can't get HDMI to work on it with a 622. That's a 622 problem, not an issue with the Vizio.

    Check Switch issues - 622/Dish 1000

    The issues I was experiencing were all in Single Mode, so I don't think it was an issue related to dual mode, unless maybe you have a different problem. I have been going strong on the new DPP Twin for about 6 days now, everything is still working OK.

    622 Lost HDMI output

    I was helping a friend hook up his 32" Vizio LCD to the 622 via HDMI, and it was dead on arrival. RGB worked when we hooked that up, but no HDMI. I hope they post that fix soon as we had to order a 35' run of HDMI cable and it would be a big pain to send it back and order 35' RGB's + 35' of...

    Got them ol' 622 HDMI bad output blues

    I was helping my friend hook up his 622 via HDMI, and it would not work with his 32" Vizio LCD. This really sucked since I had ordered him a 35 foot HDMI cable for a long run, and we obviously didn't have RGB cables laying around to get the HD working. We did move the box to the room and...

    The saga continues... The tech was scheduled between 12PM - 5PM Thursday. My wife is waiting at home all day, and the guy calls about 5PM telling her that he is just leaving from 45 mins away. He rolls in about 6PM.. Great, my wife could've done whatever she needed to do all day and I could...
