Great! I appreciate the response.

I was wondering if anyone is using the HDMI audio out of the 622? I currently have a tv with DVI input so I can't test it. But what I am considering is that I'm thinking about buying another TV with HDMI to go in another room. I'd like to have an HDMI switch to switch between the two tv's...

Don't bet on it - Dish just screwed me good. I called on June 10th to upgrade my 942 to a 622 and the CSR said that the tech would bring a 622 with him on my install (scheduled for June 17th). Well that's tomorrow and tonight I get a call from Southern Star Dish and they don't have a 622 -...

I'm getting my upgrade 622 tomorrow (trading in the 942) and am concerned about all of these dead HDMI ports. I use HDMI and much prefer it to component. It worries me that Dish doesn't have a handle on this yet. I wouldn't have given up my 942 except that one of the tuners died... I...

No problem here I called on the 10th and am getting my 622 upgrade on the 17th. Actually could've gotten it on the 16th but I was looking for a Saturday install.

I'm getting my 622 on Saturday (upgrade from 942) and I had one question. The component out on the 622 always work right? I mean even when the HDMI port has gone dead you can use the component until you get a replacement? I had both component and HDMI hooked up on my 942 (so I could compare...

And it may be for some, I just wanted people to know the deal that I got. Here's the details of my situation: I am an existing customer with a Leased 942/811 (for about a year) AT180 w locals and 2 movie pack (HBO & SHO) Dish HD package and Voom I upgraded my 942 to a 622 and went with...

Thanks for all the responses. Ironically the decision was made for me... One of my tuners died in my 942 so I ordered a 622 upgrade as a replacement. I think I jinxed it by saying my 942 had been working flawlessly for a year! :p So in about a week I'll be on the 622 bandwagon too!

Scott, From my personal experience (as of 5pm today) I will get only a $100 credit for my 942. They did drop the price of the 622 from $299 to $199, but they also dropped the credit for a leased 942 (to $100). So for me the net result is the same - I will owe $99 to get the upgrade to a...

Thanks. It turns out it was one of my tuners went bad in the 942. I just got off the phone with tech support. I'm going ahead and upgrading to the 622. Appreciate the responses.

I just got off the phone and the deal for me was $199 for an upgrade from 942 to 622 (I lease) but they are only giving a $100 trade-in for the old 942. So it is still $99 that I have to pay. Sigh... They just make it sound more attractive now. Well I only have $199 charged on my credit card...

Ok thanks for the response. One question though - on my 942 I've got 2 cables coming in to the unit labeled Sat1 and Sat2 and the 811 only has one. I guess I use the common cable prior to them being split out? In other words when I move the 942 downstairs I take the combiner with it? I'm not...

I wanted to ask advice here on a problem I'm having with my 942. This is a great forum and I have learned a lot from it. Basically my problem is that I am intermittently losing signal on one or all of my feeds 110/119/61.5 as far as my 942 is concerned. It started about a week ago and...
