    622 Strange DVR scheduling problem.

    A couple weeks ago +/- a few days my DVR schedule only showed 1 show was set to record for however far out the schedule goes. So I reset it by holding the power button and that did not fix it. Then I pulled the power and that did not fix it. I think I did a check switch and it downloaded the...

    Replace 222k with 211k

    I do not need a dual tuner receiver and figured I would just have dish send me a 211 and ship my 222k back. Well that requires a $95 trip charge and a new 2 year contract. Is that correct? If so I would be better off purchasing a 211 off Ebay or Craigslist. Just wondering if there are any...

    Grounding Q...

    I have had dish network installed since 2006 with 2 dishes. My brother just gave me a 1000.2. So I did some research on the benefits of switching out my 2 dish setup for 1 dish. My conclusion is there is no major difference between a 2 dish setup and 1 dish but I uncovered something. My dishes...

    TruTV HD

    I just noticed TruTV isn't stretch-o-vision. Is it permanent? It's kind of weird after seeing all the shows in stretch-o-vision for so long.

    DVR Live Buffer

    I really hate that when a channel, like TNT, that is recording and you are watching that channel about 30 min behind live tv, like during the last 8 laps of the Daytona 500 and the end of the recording time is reached and you are sling-shotted to live TV. I by default have extended nascar races...

    WiMAX!

    Just got my WiMAX equipment today. 2 4G/3G usb devices and 2 Motorola home modems and 1 static IP. 6X1Mbps for $180 a month. One modem is for backup internet at the office and one is to replace comcast at my house. So far here at work near an outside window we get 3 bars solid and up to 4...

    Long HDMI cables

    I am about to purchase a 100' HDMI cable so I can put my 222k in a closet and run hdmi to my bedroom. I see a few people have done that and not had any problems. So I'm going to do it this weekend while the weather is still cool. Found a good price here: Kanex 100 Feet HDMI v1.3 Gold Plated...

    DVR playback

    Just wondering if this happens to the 922 also. When playing back a program currently being recorded and you are lets say 15 min behind live tv and the show reaches the end. Playback will stop and you will be put to live tv. That is really annoying.

    Page address changed

    I am used to going to http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/ but it doesn't work any more. What happened? It's not that big of a deal although this, http://www.satelliteguys.us/forumdisplay.php?f=10 is harder to remember and pick out of my history drop down on the address bar.

    Motion blur

    Why does it occur? I'm pretty sure the problem starts at the source. Some HD is crystal clear while other times it's pretty bad. If the program starts out crystal clear it won't degrade. But if it starts out bad it stays bad and it's really hard to watch. My local FOX station, when broadcasting...

    Logitech Harmony Timings

    I'm here at work, on lunch break, just wondering how others have programmed the timing settings on their harmony for the 622/722. I have a 622 and a harmony 890. Sometimes there is a delay when issuing multiple commands. For example when I press the up arrow when browsing the guide it will only...

    Sorting timers list

    Sorting timers list. I have a 622. So I was cleaning out old shows from the timers list because it was full. It's easier for me to sort alphabetically, but there is a problem. Every time you delete a show the list resorts by priority and you have to resort it alphabetically every time. So a...

    322 to 222k upgrade

    I currently have a 622 and a 322. Would I need a tech to come out just to swap the 322 with a 222k? DISH chat said I can't have it shipped and couldn't explain why.

    Family Guy still not 16X9

    I don't really have much to say but I wish it was. During the premier of the Cleveland Show the first few min was Cleveland leaving Family Guy and it was 4X3 WTF! Then when the Cleveland show officially started it was 16X9. Oh well.

    Can you change the billing date? No!

    I just thought I would share because I think it's ridiculous that you can't change the billing date. I have changed the billing date on all my other bills to make it easier for me to budget for the month. It's really not that big of a deal though.

    622 + Storm + brief power outage = No OTA

    I already know the solution to this problem but I still have to wonder why. As the title says there is a storm that blocked the signal and the power went out for 2 seconds and now I can't even watch ota channels. I would think the guide data would be stored on the hard drive and updated over...

    DTV transition problem

    I had to delete the local channels on my 622 and rescan before I could get some of my locals OTA. Not sure why that was but I haven't heard anyone mention this before. Also my signal was 100% on most channels and now ABC and CBS are about 75%. Will this be a problem?

This would be such a cool thing. It's funny how many posts I have read from google about...

    event skipped: by priority

    I have my DVR set to record 2 min early and end 3 min late. I have it set to record The Office and 30 Rock. For some reason 30 Rock is skipped. Why does that happen? The DVR should just continue recording!!! That has happened a few times now.

    TV2 combined with Antenna

    I just got a LCD HDTV to replace my sd tv in my bedroom which is hooked up to TV2 Ch 60 from a 311. I have an outdoor antenna hooked up to to my 622 in the living room. So I split the antenna, one feed to the 622, the other to my LCD. I used a splitter to combine the TV2 cable with the antenna...

    History Channel HD

    Why are the HD shows on the History Channel being squashed? It has been like this for some time. The black bars at the top and bottom and incorrect aspect ratio is annoying and gets more annoying as time goes on. :mad: I think this is the channel and not E* fault. And a little less annoying...
