Will this update be coming this year? I just changed from a regular hopper to one with sling and this is a problem. On the standard Hopper you could change the format on SD channels and it would stick for that channel. The crazy thing here is if you tune in an SD channel and press format a...

I didn't read through all the posts in this thread but I thought I would call dish and check on an upgrade from my hopper with external sling to the new hopper and I was told it was $100. Are there any promotions or anything to get this waved?

I just shut down one of my receivers and it took about two weeks and three calls to get the box. It seemed to take longer than necessary to just send a box.

I have had problems with Bham HD locals for over a year now on and off.

So the wireless piece is simply for transmitting to the wireless monitor not for joining to your network wirelessly?

Am I reading correctly that the 922 will have 2 OTA tuners and wireless to connect to your network? If so, will these be separate modules you will have to purchase and add on or will they come standard?

For 200 and the commit I might think about it but for 900 they can have it and I can explore other options....

So, when this is introduced in June how hard is going to be to get one given the likely demand? Will it be easier to get one as a new customer, a current in contract customer, or a current out of contract customer? I have been anxious to trade the 622 in on one of these and I'm happy there is...

Did they actually give a date for the 922?

Pardon my ignorance, but it seems there are two listings for HD channels in the guide. One is typically something that makes sense like 42 and the other is like in the 9000 range. Is this the exact same feed or is one more reliable?

I went back and checked Celebrity Apprentice and it seems to have straightened out ATM. I guess I will just keep an eye on it. I don't know if the time change had anything to do with it.

My service is almost perfect except for HD locals. If they were at least as reliable as the rest of the stations I would be pretty happy. I had SD for years with no issues and really don't have many HD issues other than locals.

Welcome to Dish local HD problems....:( I have same issue Birmingham market but I just give up trying to figure out what the problem is as it happens more than it doesn't. I feel I have Stockholm syndrome with Dish locals lolz.....

I will try that and report back....

I think I may have seen this some time back but I can't seem to find the post. Anyway, I am starting to have issues with shows set to record new episodes recording all episodes. This has happened with both Americas' Best Dance Crew and Celebrity Apprentice so far. I am using a 622 receiver...
