I wasn't getting any HD on BBCA, period (upconverted or not). I called Dish and everything is Kosher now... getting BBCA in HD!

Just checked 9450 and 879.. they both have the HD prefix, but are in red (as in unsubscribed channels) when I click on them I get a message stating that it is an unsubscribed channel.. WTF?? I have the America's Everything Pak with HD.

I have the Dish 1000.2 and get the 129 bird, so not sure what they would be upgrading?? Also, all the other new HD channels have very good picture quality and do have the "HD" on the right end of the banner. I do get channel 135 (BBCA) but it does not show up in the all HD channel line-up. Not...

After reading about the new HD channels on this Forum, I checked and found that I am getting all the 9 new channels. However, BBCA does not appear to be in HD.. the picture quality sucks (like watching a bad VHS tape) and the channel info banner does not have "HD" on the extreme right like all...

I find it unbelievable that some of you are doubting his story because of his bad English :eek: I hope none of you end up being a jury for a trial involving someone whose native tongue isn't English! :mad:

I currently have a 622 and a 211. I am eligible for a "Dish'n it up" upgrade. I am trying to decide if I should go ahead and upgrade the 622 to a 722 or if I should wait for the 922. It looks like the 922 has had a very long gestation period (from what I have read on this forum, it was supposed...

Not sure.. I cannot get up into the attic to check (don't have a long-enough ladder) :( . Once I get a suitable ladder, I will check

I have had my 622 connected to my home network for quite some time now, but never used the remote access feature until now. I just tried remote access and when it loads, the "myDVR" tab is grayed-out. I have checked the setup menu on the 622 and have confirmed that it IS properly hooked-up to...

I think a lot of people who are contemplating shelling out hard-earned money for an "HDTV" antenna would care... there is so much hype surrounding these things that I wanted to share my experience and hopefully save a few bucks for some people. Thanks for taking the time to post..:rolleyes:

Yes, I did check TV fool and I am getting ALL the channels mentioned there.. and it is not even an amplified rabbit-ears antenna!

I have two antennae in the attic (VHF and UHF) combined and feeding the OTA signal to a 622 DVR. Probably because the antennae are not properly aligned, I am not getting a couple of the local digital stations. I was planning on buying a new HDTV antenna or building a coat-hanger antenna (which...

Thanks for the quick replies, guys! That's what I was afraid might be the case, but wasn't sure. I wonder if I could start recording OTA on tuner 2 and then immediately (or a couple of minutes later) start watching it on TV2?

Hi All, I have a ViP 622 dual-tuner DVR feeding an HDTV (TV1) and an analog SDTV (TV2). I have an OTA antenna in the attic. The OTA signal is combined (?diplexed) with the satellite signal and is carried via a single coax to the 622. The same coax also carries the backfeed signal from the...

I have had vonage for about 3 yrs now and had no problems with the dish receivers being able to dial out. However, I noted that in the last two billing cycles, that I was charged a $5 access fee :mad: I spent a couple of hours this morning with Tech support and after a lot of trouble-shooting...

Yes, the "moto" is the Motorola Signal Booster - Broadband drop amp (484095-001-00) for cable modem signal boosting. I had one lying around and decided to try it just for the heck of it and noticed a significant improvement in OTA signal levels. The other (25db) amplifier is a Skywalker...
