    Today Ordered Vip622: 30 Day Wait!!!

    Same here....I ordered yesterday as an upgrade to a leased 942. I was told the same about the new procedure and that the tech would have the 622 with him. The order includes a new Dish1000 which will replace my Twin500. I will be keeping the 2nd dish which points at 61.5. My install is...

    Anyone has seen this on a 942?

    I had this exact same video problem during the pregame for the Steelers-Broncos. I was watching OTA but when I changed channels, the effect still remained. Cleared with a front panel soft boot. This particular 942 is connected via HDMI. My other 942 worked properly during the same time...

    Anybody have a pocketdish?

    I have the AV700e and for the most part I do like it. I just used it on a business trip last week and I got a number of questions about it. It is very well built and the travel charger is fairly compact. I was wondering what you other owners thought about the screen resolution.

    Dish 942 L280 Software Bug Reports

    Call to E* I spoke with E* support about my problems with the 942. I described the following..... 1) audio stutter or complete loss of DD5.1 signal during recording playback. 2) unexpected audio swap while watching recorded material. Audio would swap from recorded signal to currently...

    Dish 942 L280 Software Bug Reports

    Audio problems during DD5.1 playback Both 942s have L280. During playback of recording with DD5.1 audio, it would drop out. I turned the unit off and on and sometimes the audio came back but would again drop out if I hit the skip forward button. Eventually got to the point where audio...

    Channel Guide on Voom Channels

    I've spoken to E* support and as said above, they are aware of the problem. It was explained to me that they were hoping to fix it shortly, perhaps in the next few days. Apparently this problem got worse after the L229 early this month. I was told though the EPG is updated (if you have it...

    Is this a new 811 problem?

    Thanks for the info. So far so good....about 24 hours plus and no further problems. Yes, we prefer watching OTA HD for the most part. The 942s seem to behave really well with their OTA connections. I am lucky as I am about 8 miles from the main digital antenna farm near Houston, so...

    Is this a new 811 problem?

    Hard reset I didn't have this problem until I connected my SquareShooter to the OTA input. I finally got around to buying a couple of diplexers this weekend just so I didn't have to run a second cable to the 811. This was just yesterday and as soon as I hooked up the OTA, the guide gave me...

    HD VOOM ers

    You will need a separate dish pointing to 61.5 and probably a DPP44 to handle the 3 LNB feeds from the SuperDish and the fourth from the 61.5 dish. Of course it depends on your current config. I have a 2 LNB 119/110 dish and the separate 61.5 dish with a DPP44. I setup my D* system myself...

    Shuttle Launch on HDNews

    On HDNET too I noticed that HDNET had it listed from 5am to 10am CT. I went ahead and setup one of my 942s to record it. On the NASA website, they say HDNET will also broadcast the landing. I will check out the recording after work.

    Winegard SquareShooter High-Band VHF/UHF Amplified Antenna

    Two installations I have used a Squareshooter 1000 that I originally setup with my Voom system. When I converted to E*, I use it there too. Of course it also sends signal to my D* boxes. It is a great piece of equipment. In my case, I am lucky since I am only 8 miles from all of the...

    942 search not working?

    Still working here Sorry to hear that it is still not working. I havent' had anymore problems since last week. Though I never spoke to Dish and I don't see any other threads about this problem, I always felt it was an issue with stored PG info. When I was initially installed in May, I had...

    942 search not working?

    Mine wasn't working either - until Monday This is weird. I installed a new 942 on Thursday last week. One of the things I checked that evening was the search function. I even setup a couple of test recordings. All was well. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Search function wouldn't...

    Buying 2nd 942

    It would be far better if I could lease instead of buy. When I had my install first part of May (i am a Voom refugee), the techs didn't really understand the 942 very well. It seemed like I had a defective 942 and after 3 on-site trouble calls and many hours on the phone with Dish, I was...

    New House. Need help...

    Same Scenario I am doing nearly exactly the same config. I already have a 942 downstairs and which feeds an SD monitor in my wife's upstairs office from the TV2 output. I have ordered (delivery tomorrow) a 2nd 942 which will go in my upstairs theater room. I will use its TV2 output to...

    Buying 2nd 942

    Oh, I didn't order it from Dish so I got it for 679 with free shipping. Last time I called Dish they wouldn't sell me a 2nd 942 since I already had one on lease. My bill won't change since I am swapping out an 811 (and returning it).

    Buying 2nd 942

    Just a quick question.....I currently have a Dish 500 setup with the second 61.5 dish connected to a DPP44. I also have one 942 and two 811s. Because of some "home" issues, I want to get another 942. Is there any problem adding the 2nd 942 with this dish setup? What will E* charge me for...

    Recording with an 811

    Someone else could probably give you a better technical answer about the Y channel (black), but I know there are commerically available S-Video to RCA/composite cables. I think they are used to connect computer video cards to TV composite inputs. I can't see why they wouldn't work the other...
