I had 3 or 4 622s fail and got completely fed up. I refused to accept another 622 and instead insisted on a 722k as that was the newest at the time. I was adamant with them that there must be some problem with the 622 since it kept failing repeatedly. I was nice but very firm with the rep...

Thank you, you are correct. I had just heard that WSYX was picking the game up, so that makes this problem go away. Nice work Channel 6!

Can I order GamePlan just for one week? Ohio State plays Toledo next week and it is only offered on ESPN360 and GamePlan, and I really don't want to watch it on 360. I checked my account and it didn't have an offer to purchase 1 week, just the whole year.

I took a look at the Channel List and it seems ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD are also on the 129 location. I see you're in Ohio, so your locals are on 129 too so you could point there and get both. 129 will be harder to find than 119 or 110 since it's a weaker signal, so you may be ahead to go with 110...

Finally got around to taking everyone's advice... I went online and did a chat with a very nice rep (Hasibpah) and asked what I was getting for the $10 platinum charge... heexplained it. I then asked how I could lower my bill and that I had heard from others that Platinum was being offered for...

I noticed some of the new Dish promotions are substantially cheaper than what I am now paying and am wondering if I should call and ask for a better deal. I am currently out of contract and just got done fighting a major battle to get my service back up after 2 installers couldn't get the 129...

Thanks everyone for the tips... I worked on peaking 129 and still wasn't having much luck. I then ignored my wife's threats and moved my dish mount about 3 feet up my roof (west) and before I could even get a screw in the signal meter started buzzing higher! I got it installed nice and plumb...

Here's the situation: I have Dish 1000/VIP 622. All was fine, one day 119/110 stopped coming in, 129 channels were fine with decent signal strength. Called Dish, they sent tech who replaced 119/110 LNB on Dish 1000. After that, 119/110 were fine, but 129 was out. They said that 129 was...

Works like a charm on my 622, unreal!

I would recommend a CradlePoint CTR500 router - those work pretty good. It has both the wireless router as well as a slot for your EVDO card - it supports USB and ExpressCard. I echo the recommendation on the 3GStore - they are awesome. I set my 622 to phone home at 3AM and it works great.

Thanks! I checked the same and found that my last updated was on 11/18 at 3:29, and my next one is scheduled for 11/25 at 3:28. Based on that, I can plan on having my internet connection come up at 3:20 AM and that should cover it. Again, thanks for the info! This will help me save the $5...

I have canceled my landline phone service since we never use it and want to switch my 622 over to an ethernet connection to avoid the $5 per month fee. I have an ethernet set up in my house, with a router from Linksys that lets you plug in a Verizon data card for your internet. The problem is...

Here's my issue on a 622 w/ a Dish 500: The video & audio on channels on 119 are digitizing and freezing up completely. 110 & 129 channels are fine. Check switch shows fine. Point dish does not show any issues with signal (even or odd transponders), although some transponders will drop...

You nailed it! :up I ran the test-tone and it immediately identified that somehow one of my center channel wires was pulled out of the socket. Little bit of a duh moment for me because I never thought to look at that, but I'm happy as the problem is solved! Thanks everyone for the posts!

Thanks for the responses! I believe I may have a bad (or almost) bad optical cable. I checked to see if it was fully plugged in, and as I was jiggling it, I seemed to get a better response out of the audio. Unfortunately, I couldn't go back to the DVR of Desparate Housewives because my wife...
