    Is my 622 dead?

    Not sure how you've got your 622 hooked up, but have you checked the other video connections for a picture? The reason I ask is mine was hooked up through HDMI when I first got it and it stopped working and I had no picture whatsoever. I then ordered a replacement unit and I had a picture up...

    VIP 622 Question

    I believe you would need another 622 receiver for that second room if you want HD on both. It would need to be hooked up through either HDMI or Component connections.

    New HD on DishNetwork? "Soon" might be right around the corner...

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all the great info! Good to know Dish is finally adding some new HD programming. I too figured I owed you guys the Pub fee since I got the Cinemax for a penny deal from reading this forum. Here's to seeing MGMHD and Speed HD in my channel guide very soon.

    Red Ring on start up

I bought it to keep it cool after hearing about all the overheating problems, however, after doing some research online I found out that the way this device connects between the console and the power...

    Game reccomendations for a Wii

    Mario Strikers Charged is pretty sweet. I've never been a big fan of soccer games, but after hearing a few reviews I thought I should check it out. It's highly addictive and consumed a good chunk of my time when I got home from work everyday. Some other fun ones I've picked up are Resident...

    L448/HDMI issue?

    Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. I've considered that, especially considering this doesn't seem to be a widespread problem with subscribers hooked up through HDMI, so I may upgrade the firmware over the weekend when I get a chance. Right now I'm going with components until I can get everything...

    HDMI/VIP622/Sony KDL-40S2000 - No Picture

    I've got a similar thread going here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/119054-l448-hdmi-issue.html My HDMI output on my 622 was working fine one night, and then the next morning I was met with a black screen. I tried almost everything to get it fixed, as you can...

    L448/HDMI issue?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I know it's a humongous post, but if you get a chance to read further, they did send out a replacement receiver, which unfortunately experienced the same issue upon updating the receiver (right after the check switch, but before receiver activation). This is the part...

    L448/HDMI issue?

    Hi everyone, I'm a first time poster so try and take it easy on me as I try to describe the problem in full :) Here's the situation: On December 23rd I was hanging out watching tv on my VIP622 receiver when I decided to hit the hay for the night...
