I agree with a response earlier. It is either cable connections or a bad lnb. I just went thru many days of frustrating checking and re-checking, new rg6 cables. I was losing even transponders 22-32. After running a direct line from my dp dual to my 622 i found out the lnb was the problem...

I began to have problems with 129 transponders going blank, even numbers 22-32. First recommendation from Tech was to switch over to 61.5. This did not work. They then replaced my dpp twin. Still same problem. Said was 622. Repaced it. Still same problems getting hd programming. Replaced dp...

I purchased one over e bay for under twenty dollars. What's good about this one it does not use a meter, it has an ear plug that plugs into meter and into your ear. The signal is very clear and lets you know with a very high pitch when on target.

My set up. 622 and 942. 1000 dish with Dish Pro Plus Lnb. No 44 switches. Just two lines, one to 942 and another to 622. Dish positioned with meter correctly. Disconned line fron 129 lnb(bypass Dish Pro Plus lnb) and hook directly to 622. 129 signal on 30, 90-95. Hook back up thru Dish Pro...

I purchased one of the first units and paid $500. plus. I have a 622 and 942 and would like to record the hd programming and movies. Also, I cannot see forking out more big bucks to get the new features. Hopefully Dish will come out with some program where current customers can upgrade or...

Has anyone heard when the 1000.2 will be available?

YES IT CAN BE DONE! All you have to make sure is that the 942 is in single mode, not dual. I use my second remote for my lcd in the bedroom with no problem. This was told to me by another tech at dish.

i had this problem and check switch until i was told it was a legacy lnb problem, that software would be coming to fix. I changed my legacy over to dish pro twin on my 500 and dual dishpro on my 300. I then used two dishpro sw 21's all to one receiver 942. I don't have that problem now. If...

Dish should exchange the unit for you if defective. Need to talk to hd tech and review all your problems. Don't talk to a regular rep, make sure it's hd tech.

If I were getting today and were available I'd get the 942, however, i've had 921 since Jan. and have really enjoyed it. Mine works flawlessly. Good luck:

I priced cable first, where they quoted me a price for what I am paying for dish, however, i then asked them what happens after the reduced rate for the first year. The price almost doubled. Don't be sucked into cable unless you can compare apples with apples. I've had my 921 for a year(paid...

I'll bet that for every Dish Basher on these forums, there are hundreds that don't agree. I've had my 921 since Jan. and love it. It does everything I want of it with no problems. With the latest updates a few of the earlier problems have been corrected. For 500 dollars this is a real bargain...

Tarpon65, I have a 921 and live in Lutz, north of Tampa. The key to my reception was my antenna. i got one from Radio Shack, called the Tampa Bay Special. It consists of two antenna on one shaft. One pointed to CBS out near New Port Richey, and the other pointed to Towers SE of Brandon. I...

Bill, had you had locals prior to L211? I did not have prior, therefore, after L211 I had to subscribe in order to get ota guides. I did not think Dish did us right or fairly on this issue. Some said it was to be corrected in the next release. I checked my statement, and the local charge is...

Every one e mail Charlie. His correct address is charlie.ergen@echostar.com. It's gonna take a lot of pressure from a lot of us.
