    There'll be no joy on Galactica, the mighty Charlie has struck out!

    Well last night I watched BSG in SD on my 47" LCD and it looked like crap. Tomorrow however I'll record the HD version of of SciFiHD and DirecTV. Last year we still had a SD TV in the bedroom and it was tolerable to watch. Trying to watch last nights episode on a LCD was horrible. They...

    Can Dish Stop the Bleeding? Is Dish Bleeding?

    The DVR keeps me with them. The 622 is the best DVR on the market and is a massive time saver for us. Running both my HD TV's its the only box in the house and the only thing I would want them to add is crosstalk between 622/722's. I could have 2 of them and record upto 6 different things...

    Bad news regarding Dish and "DRM"

    I'll drop Dish. HDMI looks like crap on my Samsung 1080p DLP...it looks fine however on my Westinghouse 1080p LCD. Plus I output to both component and HDMI at once...this ExtremeHD service looked interesting :)

    No Red Wings on FSN-HD (Channel 380) in Detroit!!??

    I watched the SL game and Ken Daniels said "Brought to you on FSN-HD" so I switched over to 380 and got the tone screen.... did anyone watch the St Louis game in HD? From a previous problem I have the email address of a person on the CEO support team. I emailed him and will let everyone know...

    Problem with Dish - Response from CEO@Echostar?

    No...I was on hold with D* when the response email came through. Its a customer service lesson...I never looked at D*, was perfectly happy with my 622 and my service, for the most part, certainly enough not to look. However after this I went and looked on their site. If D* had a better...

    Well...in the time it took me to write this they wrote back and refunded me my $100!. I was honestly on the phone with D* when the email came through.

    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?

    Well the local station went off the air :) My 622 can no longer pick up the signal but it picks up all the other channels with no problem so something must be up. I'm watching it on the sat now and it looks better so maybe if Detroit went poof they switched over to someone else to provide...

    NBC - Giants/Dallas, terrible PQ?

    622. Fox looked decent for the Lions game and CBS's pregame look fantastic as usual. Even the commercials looked crappy except the investment commercial that looked like a cartoon which looked great. Channel 4, WDIV I think only has 3 sub channels, the main HD channel, the weather map...

    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 HD Distribution to second TV (now and future)

    The guy who I had wire my rear speakers told me the trick. Find the wall you want put the cable in. At the bottom of the wall, directly down from the center line of where you want the box get a long thin drill bit. Drill at a 45 into the floor where the carpet meets the trim. Go down...

    Dish HD Distribution to second TV (now and future)

    I do this now with just a long HDMI cable. Cheapest solution and works great. Dish mailed me a second 6.3 remote for free and I leave one in each room. I see a lot of people pushing those HDMI-CAT5 converters but the value is not there, cheaper to buy another 622!

    622 Lost HDMI output

    I ran HDMI for 2 days when I got my 622 last year. Then I switched to component, HDMI looked terrible on my 1080p Samsung. Now that we've added the second TV in the bedroom I ran HDMI to that and got a second UHF #1 remote. I put in a series of cable holders and loops to take ALL the...

    Dish Pass - Logical statements

    You can tell it specific channels but I think only on Dish pass, not in the general search. We watch several racing series, Nascar is not one of them, but they put out so much Nascar crap. I'm dead serious when I'm deleting 5-8 events per day! Hopefully they'll look into this, I sent on a...

    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...

    External HDD feature for ViP622 and ViP722: coming 8/15: $39.99

    Its time versus money. This will be a HUGE time saver for us. We're both busy and it'll be great to achive an entire season of a series and watch it when we want without filling up the DVR. $40 is nothing compared to how much use we will get out of it. Being able to archive an entire...

    Rain Fade - Signal Strength

    I had rain fade problems with D*, Voom, and E*. That was until I got the new 30" oval dish, now the sky could be falling and the signal is perfect. They did move it to a new location on the house but both offered clear line of site.

    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...
