I have a 722 and will not upgrade to the Hopper without OTA support. I watch and record some of the available OTA (primary and .2, .3 sub-channels) broadcasts that are not available on Dish.

Is it everyone's opinion that Ciel-2 will end all complaints about the 129 slot for eastern US viewers? I am near Atlanta and always loose 129 in bad weather. I was about to pressure Dish to convert me to Eastern Arc because of this.

Specialized (commercial grade) equipment exists to do this, but it is very expensive. A year from now, I do think you will start seeing lower priced consumer grade gear to generate an RF Channel 3 ATSC signal.

I can tell you with certainty it is a DishNetwork problem. In comparing what DishNetwork delivers with OTA on the Atlanta locals, OTA has no problems. I have had an outdoor antenna for years, and only signed up for Locals to get the program guide for my 622.

622 Running Bug Thread I don't know if this has been reported before or not, but while viewing a Dish-on-Demand program, it stopped playback when a timer recording was started. When I tried to switch back to the Dish-on-Demand program, it made me cancel the timer recording before I could...

I also think the "stretched" picture looks bad, and typically stick with Gray Bar or Normal.

In my case, they gave me a $100 programming credit ($10/mo for 10 months). I had an 811, added a 622, and switched to the Dish HD Gold. $199 was the upgrade fee and I pay the normal DVR fee. They told me the 811 would lose the SAT HD channels (I still have them).

I have a new 622 I received 2 weeks ago, and tried to use the optical (PCM) output for the first time yesterday (10/28). Optical does not work at all. I see light at the end of cable but no sound when connected to PCM D/A converter. Analog audio out to stereo amp and HDMI audio out to TV work...

I use single mode, which may explain why others don't have that problem (they use dual mode).

When I press the format button (the '*' key), it changes the format of both HD and SD outputs at the same time. If I go from 'normal' to 'zoom', both HD & SD outputs change from 'normal' to 'zoom'. I want to able to leave HD format as 'normal', while changing SD format to anything I want. The...

The 811 allowed me to have separate picture formats for HD and SD outputs (example - Zoom SD, normal HD). The 622 treats SD & HD output formats the same and that is a problem. I want HD to be normal, while SD is stretched. Is this a known bug in the 622?

I just got a new 622 and consider it a significant improvement over my 811. SD looks much, much better using both SD and HDMI outputs. With the 811, SD was almost unwatchable via DVI. One thing the 622 does not have is Guide program listings for OTA, where the 811 did (I don't subscribe to...

Does anyone know if the Dish Vip 622 & 322 will have 5th generation OTA ATSC tuners?

I have an 811 connected to Sony with HDMI and never had any problems. My take is that it's either the DVI/HDMI cable or the TV set HDMI circuitry.

My set (Sony 34XBR960) allows for individual brightness/contrast/sharpness settings on each input. When using it with the 811 (DVI output), it required a significant change in the brightness/contrast settings compared to factory default. I was able to get the picture very close to HD off-air...

I just checked the FCC web site for KNTV-DT (http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/tvq?state=&call=KNTV&arn=&city=&chan=&cha2=69&serv=&type=0&facid=&list=0&dist=&dlat2=&mlat2=&slat2=&dlon2=&mlon2=&slon2=&size=9) and found that they have a construction permit to move the tower to the Colma/Brisbane area...

For best results, I recommend the following: For all HDTV channels except NBC get either a Winegard HD9095P (http://www.winegard.com/offair/pdf/hd9095p.pdf); a Winegard PR9032 (http://www.winegard.com/offair/pdf/pr-9032.pdf); a Winegard PR8800 (http://www.winegard.com/offair/pdf/pr-8800.pdf)...

For those 811 owners in Atlanta, PBS station WPBA-DT (ch. 21) is now on the air transmitting 1080i. All of last night's (10/25) programming was upconverted 480i, but it looked very good (it looked better than some of the megabuck commercial station's upconversions in Atlanta).

Some possibilities include the Winegard DA-1118 (http://www.winegard.com/offair/DA1009_1118_etc_chart.htm) and the Channel Master 3042/3043/3044/3045 (http://www.channelmaster.com). You can buy them at either Warren Electronics (http://www.warrenelectronics.com/), or Stark Electronics...

I use a Winegard 9095P UHF antenna with a Winegard AP-8700 pre-amp. I receive DTV signals for ABC, FOX, NBC, TBS-17, CBS, WB-36, UPN-69, WHSG-63, and WTHC-42 ("The Atlanta Channel"). I live in Stone Mountain and get between 80% and 96% on all DTV channels, except 42 (I get 65%). I do not...
