Installer came out on Saturday the 10th for a new install (previously had Dish) with 3 HR24-100's. The installer said I HAD to have the DECA device is I wanted MVR and/or VOD. I questioned it, but ended up paying the $25 fee and the installer hooked it all up. All is good. Sunday evening I...

I'm still seeing the same 2-3 second "Searching" delay on the Tulsa local on both my 722 and my 622. I have rebooted them both (even went through a 1.5 hour power outage last night, quite a "reboot").

Yes, great news indeed. I was surprised when I got home Wednesday evening and my wife said she noticed Tulsa locals in HD on the guide (722 and 622 receivers). Wednesday evening we had both SD and HD locals via satellite (two separate channels) plus the OTA channel(s). Thursday morning I only...

If you're using satelliteguys.us as your one and only research medium when betting "HD Futures" at an on-line betting site (when not betting on the outcome of Democratic primaries, or the winner of Survivor/Big Brother), then I could see you being a little upset. Otherwise, it's all good. :)...

I work for a relatively small company as a software developer and things around here can change daily if not multiple times a day. So I can completely understand how a large company like Dish could make multiple changes to it's schedule without internal employees knowing about it, or at least...

Is it really in HD? While it is widescreen, the picture quality is so low I couldn't tell the difference between the SD feed and the HD feed (other then format). I'm wondering if they are just cropping an SD signal to a 16:9 format and sending it out over their HD feed? Even the "remote"...

Thanks to everyone in this thread for all the info. I have been entertaining the idea of switching from E* to D* due to the HD content mainly, but there are other reasons I won't get into at this time. This thread and the savings it has/will produce convinced me to make the jump. I called the...

"Thees rockets give me my lovely Pa-mela in higherest definition? Awww right, hi five!"

If choosing between a 622 or a 722 for a bedroom installation, do either of these receivers have a noticeably lower fan and/or hard drive noise level? Thanks

What is going to happen to SD locals after the Feb 2009 cut-off date? For example, Tulsa OK does not have HD locals and it is not scheduled to have them anytime soon. What happens after Feb of next year? Will I get any locals off Dish at that time?

Keep in mind that OTA guide data can be obtained from "TV Guide On Screen" service, the same service that's built into many TVs, DVD Recorders, and Cable Tuner boxes. I not sure technically how the data is broadcast, but it must be OTA somehow. Also, ATSC broadcasts programming data along with...

Improvements in DishONLINE feature = turning it off??? This update removed the Online Timer beta code that beta testers had. So in some sense it is an imporvement. :)
