I just asked this question to a rep in a live chat window, the response: Rep: Thank you. One moment. Rep: Actually the 622 external hard drive (EHD) fee and the 211 external hard drive fee are 2 seperate one time fees as the functionality of the EHD on each receive is different in this case...

I also have a CRT (34XBR960) that is perfectly capable of natively displaying 480/720/1080. SD content would look so much better if it were not upconverted to 1080. Alas, it seems I have been waiting for this feature since I brought home my 622 (and I had one of the first ones).

I switched from a 921 that I have had for a year and a half to a 622. I never had a phone line hooked to the 921 (or the 721 before it) and was never charged the $5 fee. As soon as I activated the 622 the charge started showing up on my bill. Not sure why they never charged the fee before but...

Ahh, I got it after reading a little more in the manual. I had to confirm the remote 2 address in the system info screen. The 622 defaults to address 1 but the remote was on address 6. Now it works like a charm.

I have a question about these 622 remotes. I have my system set up in single mode and am only using one of the remotes. Is there a way to set the UHF remote as the main (TV1) remote? I would like to use that one instead of the IR but it seems to not respond while in single mode. I tried to...

So I apparently am one of the few that thinks giving my purchased 921 back to Charlie along with $299 of my hard earned money in exchange for a 'lease' on a 622 is a bad investment (even if I have the option to recover $200 through a dreaded 'mail in rebate'). I have sold my 921 on eBay for a...

They could have a simple setup menu where you could tell it what your TV is capable of. Like a checkbox next to each resolution that you can display. I guess I am dreaming but it seems like it would be pretty simple.

I have had a 921 for almost a year now and have fortunately never had any real problems with it. I set the receiver to always output in 1080i format to my tv which looks great for all HD content. Problem is that SD channels look mediocre when the unit displays them at 1080i. If I change the...

I had this exact same problem after my receiver took the 2.15 update. I noticed all the front panel lights were on the day after the download. I purposely did not touch the receiver (waiting for it to finish). After a day of the lights staying on, i decided to turn on the receiver to see what...

Thanks for the feedback! The player is a Yamaha DV-S5750 and I think I may have discovered some of the problem. It turns out a few of the DVDs I was trying are Divx encoded movies burned to DVDR. The movies are not formatted for DVD and are in their native aspect ratio (hence the odd aspect...

Uhm, this is no help whatsoever. As I said before, this phenomenon happens with all DVDs "regardless of native aspect ratio". This means widescreen also. For example, if I put a DVD in that is formatted 2.44:1 (widescreen) the image on the screen will be stretched/squished to fill the...

I have had the Dish 34" HD monitor for several months now and have been marginally satisfied with it. I just upgraded my old non-progressive scan DVD player to one that supports progressive 480p. I have the DVD player hooked up through the component input on the TV and It seems that the TV is...

Thanks David, I had already found the service mode procedure from a post on another website. The key was turning the tv off, then waiting for at least 10 seconds before holding ch- and vol- (for 8 sec). I have made all the geometry adjustments to get the optimum picture for this set, but am...

I just picked up the deal on the 34" Dish Network (RCA) HDTV monitor and 921 receiver. After watching for a few days and going through several iterations of calibration with the Avia DVD, I have an issue. There is a lot of ghosting when there are images on the screen that contain dark color...
