    Fifth 622 in four years

    Ugh...exactly, not that it matters. Let's just say i've been a customer since 2004 - so my apologies - almost four yrs. Even worse - five in 3.5 yrs is horrible. But hey, I'll give Dish the benefit of the doubt and check my wiring, my plugs, outlets, and get a UPS. I have been really...

    Just a power strip - I need a UPS as I have a few other valuable sources that I need to look out for.

    Fifth 622 in four years

    The buzz stopped - after about 30 minutes of just sitting idle - I got a message saying the hard drive has problems and prevents receiver from functioning properly - you will need to erase hard drive - we apologize for the inconvenience. I have a picture, and there is an event recording so...

    Hmmm - not sure I agree. Where are you suggesting there is a short? I could only guess it would be from the power chord or the coax. I can't see any audio/video cables causing a short in the DVR.

    Fifth 622 in four years

    I've had it with Dish. My 622 was making a very loud buzzing noise. I rebooted, got a picture, it downloaded the program guide all while still buzzing. I powered down for two minutes, rebooted - nothing. No picture, no access to menu. They offer ZERO support when it comes to having to...

    OTA w/622 - no locals on TV2?

    I recently dropped the Local package from Dish because I was getting them via an HD OTA. Now I realize that the TV2 cannot view the locals via OTA. Anyone know a workaround to this? I want to be able to view my locals on TV2 using the OTA. Thanks, DC

    First Look: DishONLINE

    The confusing part of Dishonline for me is not knowing what content is available through my receiver. I have read through the site and can see you can download content to your PC. What if I want to watch some adult content through the receiver/TV? I see nowhere through the receiver's GUI to...

    Blackout

    What's more confusing is why are Sacramento Kings games on CSN in SD but not on the CSN HD channel? That is downright ridiculous - I want to see them lose in high-def!

    Comments Needed: DishONLINE Reviews

    Couldn't agree more, while it's new and fresh - it's not earth shattering. Getting TBS HD was earth shattering for Dish standards. At least all the blue hairs can now watch a couple of their old favorites. Your core customers, those who post stuff here - will hardly use DishOnline. I...

    Response from E* on TBS HD

    Don't shoot me for trying to get info on TBS HD - seems to be the hot topic. That's why I posted what I did - Tech Chat or not - they're all idiots.

    Response from E* on TBS HD

    They're worse - it's pointless - more than anything just a testament to the fact that we're not getting any information, no matter who you are or who you know. And we wont get TBS HD.

    Response from E* on TBS HD

    I guess we don't all have inside information - like you do? WTF does that mean - who else do subscribers turn to for questions? Besides - it's Tech Chat - not CSR.

    OFFICIAL External Storage Information

    WD MyBook 250GB Format ? Sorry if this has been answered already - I read through dozens of posts and didn't see it... I called Dish - asked about reformatting - I was told basically the drive should be dedicated. The DVR will need to install their own software so it will be able to...
