I have a 622 which is a POS in my opinion, but was wondering how I would go about setting up in the RV. Would I need a different type of account? I've read something about RV...

I recently bought an external case for the drive, and have hooked it up, and all I can see is 32GB on the drive. I...

    622 glitch

    My one year old 622 is on the blink. After about 20 minutes one of the tuners video goes out, and I have to hit (swap) to get to the other tuner so I can watch TV. All is good for the 1st 20 minutes or so. I thought at first that the box was over heating. It is setting alone on a shelf, and I...

    Good "Move"

    Well I followed the sage advice you all gave me and "moved" last Friday. I got an American CSR, and she handled everything without a hitch. I was able to watch the Super Bowl in awesome HD last night, all I can say is WoW! The CSR also told me that DISH had detected my broadband hookup, and had...
