I am having the picture stretch problem as well. My HDTV is fed off of component and is fine, but my masterbedroom TV is fed via RF shared view and get the stretched picture. What\'s weired, is, it only happens on HD channels. The masterbedroom TV is a HD 16:9 set, but I feed it via RF becuase...

I would love to be able to use this in the masterbedroom, so I can finally get rid of all the remotes up there. Ideally, though, I hope that using the kit allows the receiver to still pickup UHF signals, becuase we have the TV2 on our 622 feeding both the masterbedroom and the kids\' playroom...

I\'m another person who got the 1st batch of 622\'s during the week of their release (what was that, Feb/Mar 2005?). Still going strong! There were a couple of weeks where bad software updates made me want to through it out the window, but they were always fixed. Save for a few features I\'d...

I agree 110%. I do not understand why the interface for the EHD has to be different. We have over 350 episodes of kids shows (Blue Clues, Dora, Diego, Thomas...) and it is a royal pain to navigate, especially when you\'re playig a show from the end of the list - and once it\'s over - want to...

I agree with all of these feature requests and have one to add: - A REAL screen saver that kicks in after a user-defined amount of time to help prevent image retention on plasma TVs. This can be turned-off completely, of course - and would have to be a real screen saver, with a bit more...

I have an original 622 and it's still going strong My 622's one of the first ones off the line (what was that, '04 or '05, I can't remember). I remember signing up for it a month in advance, as we all were on pins and needles waiting for Dish to allow us to call in and reserve one, then having...

My kids watched Bruno and the Bannana Bunch on Animania, which only had a new-to-them episode maybe once a month. We never watched another Voom channel other than to check them out for a few minutes.

Looks like someone else recently got the same offer: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/118395-dish-courtesy-call-2.html Has several of you have pointed out - it's legit. If you want to be cautious - have them make a note on your account and call them back to confirm it was really...

Larry, check out my similar post here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-hd-discussions/117913-call-dish-someone-regarding-015-error.html After some investigation it turns out it is completely legitimate. My wife, like you , was skeptical and thought it was a scam. However, a call back to Dish...

Thanks for all the feedback. Turns out the call was legit. My wife went out and looked at the Dish - and sure enough - the neighbor's bananas trees had grown to block the dish again (she said it was only 1-2 fronds and that there HAD been some intermittent signal loss). So she's trimmed them...

Thanks everyone for all the support. It's not the safest place out here, but we sure do have it better than the vets among y'all had in previous wars. Heck, we have heat/AC, good food, 6 glorious channels of Armed Forces Network via satellite (sent all over the base via some a home-brew CATV...

Thanks ddg... My wife said the tech did make the note on the account - so it's possible if the signal degrades to the point where it's interfering with her watching, she can call them and still get the free service call. She said they gave her a toll-free number. When I talk to her tomorrow...

I'm currently in Afghanistan and today, while talking to my wife on the phone, she told me that Dish (or someone saying they were Dish) called the house and told her that they we had a 015 error and that a tech could come out and resolve the issue for us for free "if we act now." They said...

Thanks Duke. I tired again and did not see the banner. Turned out Fire Fox was blocking both the "Set your DVR timers Online!*" Banner and the Papa John's add. I think Ad Block Plus treats everything with common banner measurements as an ad. Anyway, I tried the page again with IE, and got...

Thanks Vince, I did not know that - I assume it's done that way since 99% of consumers would be confused if it had to be done via port forwarding and such (but to have the option would be great!) Anyone get it to work yet? When I checked a few hours ago, the only reference to it I could see...
