    Average 622/722 Temperature thread, Is your's Hot?

    I got my replacement 622 (because of an HDMI port that never worked). Out of the box, it was 116/77/96. After several hours of operation it went to 123/77/104. I just put a laptop cooler under it and I will report any changes. PS. My old one had gone from 134/116/122 to 129/109/114, after using...

    Can VIP622 record 2 HD shows at the same time?

    Depending on your location, you should be able to get a lot more of your local digital channels via OTA. Go to antennaweb.org to find out what's available in your area.

    Can VIP622 record 2 HD shows at the same time?

    Not really. My recorder would consider the black bars part of the frame, thus wasting resolution. (I'm talking about SD material, not HD, in which case I leave it at normal). DVD format is a 4:3 frame and, depending on the source material, I'll flag it as anamorphic or not, before finalizing the...

    HDMI Cable for my 622

    If you use the heavier gauge cables (for longer runs), monoprice also sells these handy port savers which also extend your cable by 8" (x2 if you use 2), if your current cable length is cutting it close.

    Painful search function with VIP 622

    Same for the Comcast Motorola DVRs.

    Dish OTA/locals not looking very good...

    The 622 shouldn't be doing anything to the signal if, e.g., it's outputting a 1080i channel to 1080i. The difference you're experiencing may be due to your TV inputs being calibrated differently.

    Can VIP622 record 2 HD shows at the same time?

    Each format setting is of use to me (for SD channels). 1. Normal: That's how I watch 4:3 material. 2. Stretch: To send to DVD recorder. 3. Zoom: To watch letterbox material (e.g. BSG) 4: Partial Zoom: Kids programming, because they like the entire screen filled ;) (Burn-in is not an issue on...

    Exactly. No one with an HDTV would want to watch movies in SD crop-o-vision anymore.

    HDMI question

    Exactly which DVD burner are you getting? I've never heard of one with HDMI input. You're probably thinking of output, in which case your question makes no sense.

    HDMI question

    The 622s definitely have had HDMI issues. If by fixed you mean getting a replacing unit that works, then you're right on that count.

    Time change related bug? 622

    That's funny, because my Dresden Files timer was ok, but the BSG one showed no events and I had to re-create it. The same thing happened with a couple of other timers as well. Also, I had a manual timer set for 2-6am, which resulted in a recording of only 2 minutes!

    Audio stuttering on ViP622 recorded shows

    I've only seen it so far on ESPN2HD. It's happening on 2 different recordings.

    Audio stuttering on ViP622 recorded shows

    Yeah, dropouts is a better term. I can see my receiver's audio channel lights flashing when this starts happening.

    Audio stuttering on ViP622 recorded shows

    I too experienced this for the first time today. I've had the 622 for almost a year now.
