During the first half of the Super Bowl the sound was intermittent on HD, but the problem was almost entirely during the commercials. Anyone else or do I send back my just replaced 622??:mad:

Cc Another hard of hearing Dish Platinum subscriber. Simple fact: I had no problems with CC on HD channels when I was with LA Area Time Warner Cable. CC is sadly lacking since the satellite took over.:eek:

Same problem here in Los Angeles. CC is available on the SD feeds but not HD. It was on Time Warner Cable, but not now on Dish.

Now you have to hope the 211 HDMI works. Mine doesn't!

This is too funny. The Dish installer left a number on the top of my Service Agreement receipt; 888-333-DISH. He said to call that number first if there were any provlems, and if my HDMI did not start working. I just called. Tina asked if she could help, and when I told her my HDMI had...

Comparable Problem Who did you call to get that done? I called the dish HD tech and he fixated on whether the "green light" was glowing on the 211 front panel. I said you mean the power light. He said just the "green light". Yes, I said, the power is on. He said is the green light on? It was...

Do I lease or Own I just became a customer of Dish. The CSR from Allsat told me my 622 woould be leased, but the $299 payment was a one time payment, and there would be no monthly charges. A superviser at Dish said for $299 I owned the 622. No one really seems to know what the story is...

:mad: I am stuck with Comcast in the Los Angeles area as I am in transition to a new house being built and in a rental for three months. Comcast still does not have TNTHD. Also I would love to know how you got HD for $0. It costs here. Oh, by the way, 5 of those HD channels are the locals...

I am putting my E* account on vacation until September. When I reinstate I am going to give back the 811 and get (if available by then) a 921. H :cool: ave there been any issues of dark picture as we have all experienced with the 811?? Thanks for replies! Geoff

I can pop back and forth between my 811 and my 522 and, as all have confirmed, the 811 is dark. Some shows, Sopranos and Deadwod for instance, are too dim to watch. Has anyone successfully cancelled a Dish contract because of bad 811 performance? Geoff

Universal Remote Programming Thanks for the PDF Scott. Just what I was looking for, but I have no idea where to physically position my universal remote to get the "learning" IR signal......and how long does each "blast" last? Thanks, Geoff

I canceled my E* installation for Monday (tomorrow) and reset it for Wednesday. By then I hope we'll know what'shappening. Geoff www.nospintravel.com

trapped I am really caught in a quandry. I have a Dish installation scheduled for Monday, and they have to install a second dish antenna to pick up CBSHD. Don't know whether to cancel or take the chance all will be settled.

Voom fine print :rolleyes: Anyone notice this small print on the Voom website? The STARZ! and SHOWTIME PlusPacks are delivered on satellite capacity that is only temporarily available. Rainbow DBS's regulatory authority to use this capacity will expire on April 5, 2004. In addition, Rainbow...
