    Cabling, what would you do for long runs

    I run my own business doing mostly network/server infrastructure and web/application developement along with day to day support. We've had a few customers here and there inquire about TV's and the convergence of media and computers is coming if its not already here. I've done small setups...

    VOD - CSR totally confused

    We never use PPV or anything like that. Today we decided to use the VOD to get Dewey Cox on HD. We downloaded the movie over night. Tonight we go to watch it and it says it cannot connect to the internet. Well the box see's my Twonky server so I know the network is working. I don't...

    Installed yesterday - both outputs work on HR21

    Well I had D* installed and my E* setup taken out. Initial reaction...the 622 is a far superior DVR to the HR21. After I got into it a bit more however there are some things that both do better than the others. Ease of use and speed goes to the 622. Flipping pages in the guide is instant...

    Need fast answer - 2 HDTV's, 1 HR21

    I called and talked to both DirecTV and Plasma Concepts. They both told me that the HR21 will NOT output component if HDMI is plugged in. They have tested it and there is no way to do it. I have 2 HD TV's and want to hook up a single HR21 to both TV's. I currently have a Dish 622 and...

    Dropped Dish, back to DTV

    I love impulse decisions :) I have been very happy with Dish and their excellent DVR. However in the end D* ended up being $24 a month cheaper for the 12 months and then $6.00 a month cheaper for the remainder. I get SciFi HD and Speed HD which are two of our biggest channels we watch. I'm...

    Problem with Dish - Response from CEO@Echostar?

    I called in August to cancel one of my receivers we used in our work out room. We rarely used it and did not need it. 7 weeks went by and Dish never sent us a box...so I called them again. Finally 2 weeks ago a box shows up at the house. We take a week to get around to packaging it all...

    Satellite Guys Tech Support > Dish Network clueless techs

    So the wife and I sit down to watch the Chuck preview and get the 896 error. I call Dish and they guy is totally lost. He keeps asking me when I recorded it and had zero idea that Dish PUTS programming on the DVR, in fact I said it was a 622 at least five times to which he asked "What kind...

    NBC - Giants/Dallas, terrible PQ?

    I just flipped on the Giants/Cowboys game and both OTA and off the Dish the PQ is horrible. I'm in Detroit LIL. Its blotchy, the sound is like from a funnel...the overlay looks good but the actual picture looks like a analog reception 20 miles too far from the antenna. Is it just Detroit?

    Web based 622 recordings

    I'm sitting here trying to setup the DVR for the new TV season and had an idea. Wouldn't it be a great setup if you could go onto Dish's website, sign in, and goto some guide of grid or list of programs, including shows starting their new season and be able to click on shows you want to...

    Dish Pass - Logical statements

    I would KILL to have a feature in the Dish Pass search. I currently have it set to record "Racing", "Auto Racing", etc....but I want to be able to put in a NOT statement. Meaning record anything racing so long as it does not contain NASCAR in the title. It records so much Nascar crap its...

    Networked 622's, any chance?

    Now that I'll be running 2 HD TV's I would in a heart beat get another 622 IF it has the option to talk back and forth. The other 622 would become a slave to the master. When connected instead of 3 tuners, you would have 5 or 6(if you had a second OTA feed). You'd select your programming...

    Who lost their descriptions on 622 stored events?

    We kept a lot of of Soundstage and Beautiful Noise shows for the past 8 months. Last week they were all there but all the description info was gone...just the shows were there but nothing else. Anyone else? We were pretty ticked because since we had so many I deleted them based on the...

    Second HD TV...several questions including making RF Remote #1

    Finally bought a 1080p LCD for the bedroom. My initial plan is to run a HDMI cable from the great room to the bedroom. My Samsung 1080p DLP looks like crap over HDMI so we use component out there. This is temporary until I get a new AVR that does multizone HDMI output. Biggest question...

    Maybe I missed it, but when did PBS start showing in EPG?

    I just noticed my 2 PBS stations now show EPG info. New as of last week. Wasn't there some reason why this did not work?

    A big one...second HD output options for 622

    We're about a day or so away from finally getting another HDTV for the bedroom. We thought of getting a second 622 but don't really want to because we want all our content on a single box. I've looked at a few solutions but they depend on the 622 itself. 1. Can the 622 output over HDMI...

    Is anyones HD locals even close to OTA?

    I picked up HD locals so I could record stuff we watch off of two different channels. The PQ is terrible. I know people complain about other channels but they are bi far the worse I've seen. I flipped back and forth today on the Chargers/Patriots game and its not even close to be decent...

    Detroit Locals vs OTA - PQ

    I'm sure this must have been talked about but I thought I would post my thoughts since I finally got MPEG4 locals and have OTA for quite a long time. I took a quick peak at NFL football on Fox OTA and Fox MPEG4 and both were pretty poor but similar in appearance. I had hoped as the quality...

    Detroit HD Locals, did you pay for upgrade?

    We sat down on Thanksgiving to watch the Lions game on 62 in HD, forget why we would do this :) 62 was having broadcast problems and it kept breaking up. I called Dish to see about getting the local HD channels and was told that I needed a Dish 1000+. Forget the fact I had to spend an...

    622 - Pauses but then goes live

    I've had this problem with my 622 for about 3 weeks now. I've rebooted it with no luck. If I pause TV for under say 2 minutes, as soon as I hit play or pause again instead of picking right now it jumps for a second and then goes right to live. Normally it will go back about a .25 to .5 second...

    Enterprise on HD net kills my 622

    I recorded Ep 1 and Ep 2 of Enterprise. Besides the sound sync being way off twice, on 4 occasions, the sound stopped working. My 622 has been problem free and I run it via optical to a Yamaha RXV2600. I noticed that the sync was way off. I swapped to another recorded program and it...

    Lost audio on 622 TV 2

    Our 622 has been running flawlessly since we got it, back in April. Today while watching the F1 Race on TV2, of course the SECOND the lights go out so does the audio. Video works fine, I hit pause and go in the living room to TV 1 and have no problems. I even go back and can play the...
