    Success Finally got channel added. Didn't realize that you could add channels VIA THE GUIDE in WMC. Thanks for all the input.

    There is an MC remote, but the directions indicated I had to hook up the computer to the TV(I'd have to do it wirelessly) and use an IR blaster. Not too sure I want to try all that, and then not have it work.

    Yeah, I tried channel 21, same result. After all the settings were tried, when I did get the live tuner on and the channel changer at the bottom of the screen popped up, changing up or down had no effect. I remained on channel 2 and showed NO DATA. Wow.

    Did the following: clicked ANTENNA, clicked ANALOG ONLY (NTSC), clicked RETURN TO TV SETTINGS, clicked FINISH, and that was it. Went to LIVE TV and there was channel 2. At no where along the line did I see an option to change channels.

    How do I change to channel 60? Can't find any device that will allow me to do that. (You'll have to pardon my ignorance here).

    Let me explain further. The 622 is in the kitchen connected to computer on the other side of the house via coax. In TV modulation menu. TV#2 selected to channel 60(others have been tried) even tried CABLE channels. In Media Center TV setup: checked SATELLITE, checked PREPARE FOR SET TOP BOX...

    Did some research, but haven't yet received an adequate answer for such a computer illiterate such as myself. I am trying to connect my Vip622 via TV #2 to MSI computer Windows Vista. I can't get the Windows to recognize any of the channels I input. I've used both AIR and CABLE settings in...

    Free Movie

    Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered before. Just received info from Dish about the 2 free PPV movies. It's tagged at a $4.99 rebate. Could one order an HD movie and be credited $4.99 and still owe the $1.00(or $2.00 for the 1080p version) or does one have to order an SD...

    Software Version 6.16

    I, too, had this problem after 616 update on the secondary receiver, and just couldn't figure out how to get them to see each other. But I stumbled onto this: 1. Go to DishCOMM screen on receiver #1 and delete the secondary receiver. 2. Go to DishCOMM screen on receiver #2 and rescan. 3...

    Software Version 6.16

    Received 616 the other day, but that receiver will still not recognize my other receiver (the main receiver which still has 614). It really bothers me, since I use(d) the caller ID on it quite a bit.

    Dead phone line Connection on 622

    I posted a similar problem a while back. I lost phone connection on my remote 622 when I had 614 and could not reestablish it. It kept telling me that Dishcomm was not available on that receiver, but on the main receiver the remote receiver was listed as "ON LINE". Since then I got 615 on...

    DISHComm Problem

    Did you ever contact Dish to gripe or ask if they had any insight? I'll guess I'll wait for 6.15 and see if it helps any.

    DISHComm Problem

    Yup, I did all those things, and still same result. It had been working fine for the months I had it hooked up, and then suddenly for no apparent reason, it just quit. I guess I'll bite the bullet and contact Dish and try to get someone who knows something instead of someone just reading thru...
