    I had 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys installed two weeks ago and the fast forward skipping ahead problem is very frustrating for me. I am experiencing the same problems as has been mentioned in this thread. Hope they fix it soon.

After 20 minutes the first time I used it the Joey shut down with a message that said it was 174 degrees and...

    NASCAR on TNT HD Stinks up the Joing

    Wrong, I am a Stewart fan and they never told what position Stewart or Jr finished. They interviewed Montoya, Jeff Burton, Harvick, and J Gordon (after 10 minutes of commercials). Those are the only drivers that we knew where they finished. I was furious. Four hours of watching the race and it...

    Warning: Weinstein HD DVDs may have glitches...

    I tried Matador for the first time last night and could not get it to play. Loads and then display just shows "PLAY" and freezes. Tried it several times and no luck. Finally gave up and popped in "Sahara" and it played fine. I have a preorder for "ClerksII", but I think I will cancel it...

    Albuquerque and New Mexico HD

    My 622 recorded the same 1hr and 4 minutes. That was frustrating. Usually it is KOB that is unwatchable OTA HD. I have learned to record KOB through Dish Network to get a good recording.

    622 Lost HDMI output

    Just received my replacement 622 and it is finally working correct. New one is an "E" model and old one was a "C" model. Old unit never worked out of the box. Neither one of the 622's came with cables.

    TiVo seeks halt to EchoStar’s digital video-recording business

    I did that already so there is still piece in the house. Thanks. Just wish E* would get bugs worked out. I had Tivo for several years with D* and never had a problem. I would never go back to D*, but would like a dependable PVR.

    TiVo seeks halt to EchoStar’s digital video-recording business

    I guarantee you I know how to program a recuring timer and my 622 picks up some programs and completely misses ( missed several episodes of Desperate Housewives and I never heard the end of that!) others even when I can go into timers and see my programs are listed there to pick up all shows...
