Sorry if this has already been discussed but does anyone know if Survivor will be broadcast in full screen HD this season?

I live in McKinney. The installer that upgraded me to the 622 in May was a Dish Network employee. I don't recall what office he was out of but he lived in Prosper so it must be fairly close by. I assume you are in Fairview.

I also live in McKinney and can certainly relate to your problems getting the Fox HD channel. Compared to the other local HD channels, the reception on Fox is by far the worst I have noticed...constant picture and audio drop-outs although the reception is no better or worse today than any other...

Thanks for the great recommendations! I would have never thought to have considered some of these manufacturers since they are not as mainstream as others you often hear about. I am seriously considering placing my name on the backorder list for the SVS system. Thanks again!

I would have posted this in the Home Theater forum but there appears to be zero activity there. I am in the market for a new home audio system (subwoofer, surround speakers, etc) to go with my Sony LCD and new 622. I am looking for something less than $1,000 and am considering something...

I am scheduled to have my 622 and Dish 1000 installed tomorrow. The local area forecast calls for rain and possible storms. I have scheduled to take the day off to meet the Dish guy (not a local retailer) for the installation. If it rains, should I anticipate Dish cancelling my...

Set up your favorite channels and exclude those you don't want to see. In my opinion the Sirius channels are far better than the CD channels but I would never vote to lose any of them! Not sure why anyone would complain of having too many channels but that's only my opinion.

Hi guys. Newbie here. I have a new vip 622 sitting in the box with an install date of 4/28. My current configuration is component video from 522 to my Yamaha stereo receiver. In fact, everything runs through my Yamaha receiver (DVD, CD player, satellite, etc). Since the 622 has HDMI, I want...
