I'm about a month away from making this same decision but as someone who's been using the TV2 SD output on the 622 for over a year, I can't give up the DVR access at the 2nd TV location. You should think carefully about this. Will you record things on the 622 DVR and be OK without having access...

Maybe I can help clarify why it's so necessary. My wife and I will sit down for TV watching a good hour after the primetime shows have started. We watch a bunch and then get tired and decide to pause, go to the bedroom, then finish up watching the shows. It's that simple. It's just a matter of...

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I didn't see anything. I was plenty content with the 622 TV2 SD output for a while but like so many others, I want an HDTV in my bedroom. Frankly after a couple years running both primary displays off a single DVR, there's no way I'm going to...

Hmm, good thoughts here but I don't think any of them will work for me. I suppose I could pull an additional RG-6 for a total of three to do component to the bedroom. It's a far run, something like 100ft. It just so happens to be the furthest room from my TV1 location. I think the most...

I have the 622 and like the TV2 output functionality due to the DVR sharing. I used to simulate this on cable by using an IR repeater and loved ditching that system. Like most people, I'm thinking of upgrading my bedroom TV to a 1080p LCD and would like to get it an HD feed but I don't want a...

You have to wonder though. Does their rockbottom discount already provide enough margin that it's work keeping you at that price ongoing or is it a break even or even a small loss with the expectation that you'll be a cash cow for years at full price. I would think it's close to break even...

Right, the 622 will be it.

I tried searching for a while but can't find a conclusive answer. I'm having HD DVR Advantage 200pack with HBO and HD installed tomorrow. I'm in NJ and wondering which and how many dishes they'll put up and how many RG-6 runs they'll need to the 622. I had the dish500/300 combo with the...

First, I want to say that all service providers hate me because I play the intro offers to the end and then leave or at least threaten to leave. I wonder how many other people are like me and how many just let the discounts collapse to full price. CV stole me from Dish two years ago with an...

In Raritan Valley area of NJ, the analogs are 2-70 anything higher is digital and requires the box.

I was hanging on to local cable, gliding on a big 2-year discount to steal me from Dish. Well, time's up and so is the price. Will I qualify for the DVR Advantage + HD with Two Tuner HD DVR and free install now that 2 years have passed? If so, I should probably take down any equipment that I...

Cablevision in NJ stole me from Dish exactly two years ago by offering me the silver pack + 2 tuner HDDVR for $60/m first year and 75/m second year with no commitment, activation or lease upgrade BS. Now that it has gone up to full price $85, I start scouring dishnetwork.com only to find the...

WHY OH WHY won't they pick up Discovery HD? Waaaaaaaa!

Seriously, I want to come back to Dish but they make it impossible. I had dish from 98 to 03. Cablevision lured me with a ridiculous $59/m for the first two years including two tuner HD DVR with essentially equivelent to the DISH silver channel lineup with HBO. What a no brainer. I've...

It's the button on the remote just right of the ZERO. I think it's * or #, but either way, it cycles through the zoom modes. I only use it on 4:3 channels that are letterboxing. Bobby
