Thanks again webbydude. Much appreciated!

Good question. I currently have (in addition to the 322) a 622 with a Dish 1000 and I pickup 129, 110, and 119. We do not have HD locals here so I pickup via OTA antenna. Since I have the proper dish setup, do you feel they will require an installer? Man, I hope not... As far as the...

I was reviewing some of the past posts for the vip 211. I recently purchased a vip 211 through DishStore and it should be arriving in a couple of days. I am replacing a 322 and can easily connect existing 322 line with a barrell connector to hook up to the vip 211. Is it true that they...

Just called Dish and am a bit preturbed. In february, I upgraded to HD and leased a vip622. Check that, I paid $299 to lease it. That locked me into an 18 month contract. Apparently this was a promotional price and I cannot upgrade another receiver until next year (only one upgrade per...

My current setup: 622 receiver connected to HDTV on main house level - connected to 1 TV only. 322 receiver which sits upstairs and is connected to 2 tv's in separate rooms. Dish 1000 My desired setup: Keep the 622 on main level - no changes (may run a line to basement later on). Trade...

I ended up taking the Terk InLine amp off of the line all together. I went to Radio Shack and got an attenuator and an FM Trap. I wanted to try both. Tried the attenuator and (obviously) the signal went down and it did not help the problem. For some reason, I put the FM trap on the line and...

jrfudea / bhelms - thank you very much for the advice. This gives me a few options to try. I tried the TV55 (which is amplified) without the inline amp at first and had 60-70% strength on all station with major video dropouts. The in line amp definitely helped as I have a cable run of around...

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have one amp installed - is it okay to have more than one on the same cable run? Thanks!

I apologize if this is not the correct forum but I have a question about HDTV antennas. I currently have a 622 and live in Richmond, VA (no HD locals through DN scheduled here). I read another thread about getting the OTA HD channels and took the plunge. I purchased a few antennas that...

Having the same audio dropout problems here. Worked beautifully before the 3.55. Was using HDMI but the problem was too frequent. Tried routing the optical out to my Yamaha receiver - same problem. Only way I don't get the audio problem is by hooking up the audio via the RCA jacks. Funny...

I was having this problem when I first got my 622. I've got a 50" DLP Samsung and am running audio through a Yamaha THX RX-1500 (Optical output). In the System Setup / Dolby Digital menu screen, I have selected Dolby Digital / PCM as my receiver decodes both. The 2nd setting on that screen...

I had my 622 installed last Tuesday (Richmond, VA) via a Dish 1000. Everything with the receiver is working fine (a few small glitch problems that everyone else in the threads are experiencing but nothing major). However, I cannot order On demand movies. I can get to the screen but it tells...

Thanks Suppa. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the 263 release. If / when that release comes through, would I see that on the System Info screen? Thanks.

I have read a few threads on those with audio synch problems. Mine seem to be getting more and more frequent. A hard reboot takes care of it for about 10 minutes and then it starts again. Has anyone figured out a fix to this or is it a 622problem all together? I currently have the system...

navychop, you do understand my situation and I appreciate your help. I was trying to use the 622 on one HDTV. The input for TV1 for the HDTV (through HDMI) and the TiVo setup on the TV2 output. But if the TiVo remote cannot change channels via IR, my Tivo is basically useless. If I'm going...
