    622 Reboots Itself 3 Times Per Week

    I had customer service replce my 622 when this was happening to me. They replaced the 622 and the problem went away. However, the HDMI port does not work on the new unit. I would rather use the component video feeds than have the unit reboot 1-2 times per day.

    New 622 Arrived with non-working HDMI

    The crazy thing is that the HDMI port on my 622 that is supposed to be returned (equipment swap) to Dish works fine. So did the HDMI port on the 942 that I should have never given up. L359 is running on both 622s. I am using a Sony 50" LCD TV. There must be a hardware element to the problem...

    New 622 Arrived with non-working HDMI

    I had Dish swap out my 622 due to daily reboots (1-2x per day). The unit that arrived on 07/07/06 does not have a working HDMI port. I called back to Tech Support twice and they said it was a new software bug they are working on (for all units starting 7/3). They stated that all units being...

    622 - Locks Up Daily

    Thanks for the advice. I called tech support and after a few minutes they decided to ship me another unit for an equipment swap.

    622 - Locks Up Daily

    I activated my 622 around 06/11/06 and ever since the unit locks up (and I reboot it with a power cord pull) or it reboots itself at least once a day. I am running 359 code. My temp range is 78 to 130 (average of 120). This happends if we are recording, watching, or nothing at all -- and at...

    DP44: Where can power inserter reside?

    I spoke with several folks in tech support and then eventually to some executive support guy (Frank) who said that the DP44 has much higher throughput and will give me better long term perfromance than the DP34. That is the only reason the installer is coming out to my house. I have 2x RG6...

    DP44: Where can power inserter reside?

    I will be installing a DP44 this weekend and I do not have an outlet anywhere close to where it will be installed (on the outside of my house). Can the inserter be placed near one of my DVR units inside the house? On which side of the OTA/SAT diplexor or should it go on the SAT only line...

    Considering Changing 500+300 to Dish1000 in Dallas: unwise?

    I have a 942 with few if any issues other than the occasional reboot (1-2x per month). I have a Dish 500 pointed to 100/119 and a separate 300 pointing to 61.5 with a DP34. I live in Dallas, and I can see both 129 and 61.5. My homeowners association only allows for 2 satellite units on my...

    WFAA HD Dallas - Downrezzed?

    Well, I am sure glad I just spent $299 (on the VIP622) to get even a worse picture from WFAA than I got before with a OTA (with my 942). They are just about the only US digital station broadcasting in VHF rather than UHF and they are very low power. Thank the stars that MNF is moving to ESPN.

    942 - Lost all my DVR events

    My 942 lost all but 3 old events Saturday (01/21/06) morning. I had about 20 hours of HD and about 10 hours of SD programming. I rebooted it after I noticed it, but all of the programming was still lost. Has anyone seen this :eek: ? I can put up with occasional events that do not get...

    Problems with ABC HD in Dallas and dish 811

    942 & WFAA-DT I am using a 942 and 510. I live in Valley Ranch (North Irving) and have used a Terk HDTV-S antenna mounted on the 2nd story of my house for about 6 months. Most neighbors think it is a satellite dish (though it is square). I have the non-amplified version with RG6 diplexed...
