    Vip 622 install

    Thanks for all the advice. What a great idea move the Vip 211 to the bed room with the 501, that way I can get HD OTA in both rooms.

    Deal with NPS to "save" distants on DISH!

    Ever think that just may be NPS bought the list from a third party. If you were on a do not call list or told Dish don’t share your information, your name and phone number would not be on a third party list.

    Deal with NPS to "save" distants on DISH!

    How do you get in AAD’s database, they don’t have my information from Dish. I’m 70 miles from Boston with a 120 mile antenna up 30’ with a mountain in the way, had waivers from NBC, CBS & FOX. Due to being in a white zone.

    According to CSR, I need 129, not 61.5 for MPEG4 HD channels.. is this right?

Andy said that they are installing Dish 1000’s for customers that don't have 61.5 and check if I could see 129 saying after April I might need to swing or change my dish. Doesn’t...

    Have you ever received any consessions from Echostar?

    Because of miss information and problems with an install, I got my VIP211 for just S&H of 14.95 and the new VOOM package for $15.00 a month for a year. I went though the EO Department. :D Forgot my commitment is ONLY one year not the 18 months.

    811 won't switch from 1080i to 720p.

    What SW do you have? And is this with the HDMI? After my receiver took the update to 3.34, I have been having problem with 720 NOT working at times. It gives a double picture like a non sync issue. Good thing I have a VIP211 coming tomorrow to replace it.

    My upgrade plan's

    Right now I have one 811 (lease) and a (501) own, HD in living room and SD in bedroom. I’m going to wait until May or June to upgrade the 811 to a VIP622 and sell the 501 on eBay, this way I’ll still have a DVR and be able to use the 622 SD out to view VOOM in the bedroom.
