    922 no conflict?

    That is exactly what my wife says when one of her shows doesn't record properly. The sad this is that I'm paying more than $125 for Dish service. My daughter has FIOS and says that she just uses their "view on demand option".

    922 no conflict?

    Problems with recordings ending prematurely or being split into multiple "icons" for a single episode. Is exactly what we have been experiencing as well. An episode of Bones was supposed to record for an hour and five minutes, total record was 51 seconds. The record history screen, stated that...

    922 = worst piece of junk ever

    I too remember the days of the 921 which had a price tag of $1300 at the start, I was lucky, got it for $1000. I've yet to take advantage of remote viewing. I do like the menu and it does seem faster, but the 622 was more predictable and more of a "bang for the Buck". It does seem as if the...

    922's EHD's to be DISABLED tonight.

    As of yet I have NOT be able to play anything from my EHD. I have about 650 gigs of video and get error messages when I try to transfer on to the 922 for viewing. No solution at Dish and I've had the unit for three months now.

    Can'nt record on 922

    :rant: This is a major lost in use. Many times I see something is a program that I'd like to share with friends and family and the darn 922 will not respond as expected. Why are the firmware updates taking so long?

    Do you think the 922 is ready for prime time yet?

    Up to ten different instances where 922 unit was programed to record and only about five minutes was actually recorded. Tried to record via the buffer. It did record but kept recording for hours, without stopping. Would not delete or stop recording. I have to remind you to call Dish with all...

    Annoyed at step motion jumps.

    I too am annoyed at not being able to work this feature, which has always been available since the Dish player days. If the problem is the lawsuit between Tivo and Dish then tell us officially instead of keeping us uninformed!

    622 audio drops

    It sounds like a bug since this doen't occur with the 942, and it's really annoying. Another audio problem is that static popping sound on TV2. Can't they, Dish, just copy over the fixes that were done to the 942?

    VIP 622 - Two Questions regarding MPeg-4

    Thanks Chop-Chop, 60% would be great, that would be approx 50+ hours of HD recordings, but I hear said that Dish is having problems with the Mpeg 4 format, so it's going to take awhile before it finally gets used. I still would like my 942 to receive the same programing as the 622.

    VIP 622 - Two Questions regarding MPeg-4

    1. Are there any HD stations broadcasting in true Mpeg-4 as of yet? If there aren't any, then why (if I was only able to receive one VIP622) can't I get my Platinum service be received on my 942 until Mpeg 4 IS available? 2. Does anyone have any idea as to how much harddrive space will be...
