The problem I see with the device the OP mentioned is: Supports 2-channel audio from HDMI input to HDMI output ports It doesn't mention 5.1 audio broadcasts. therefore I assume you lose 5.1 audio if you happen to have such a setup.

I don't know if the package is call Alchemy, but it is the $89.99 Triple-Play. Includes Starz & HBO for first year. I was told I could keep it for a second year at the same price but without Starz & HBO. They said there are 240 HD/Digital channels. Not sure if there is a contract or not. And...

Great replies. The DVR and HD-quality are real issues. Enough to consider not being sold on the low Triple-Play price. Right now I am leaning towards just changing to Comcast Internet, getting away from ATT-DSL (as they are raising their rates in my area for DSL). Still like my Absolute-HD package.

The replies are trending towards the two main concerns I do have with a switch: 1) HD Quality 2) HD-DVR. Any less HD-quality would be hard to swallow. I think Dish quality is quite good. If I had to watch something noticeably inferior, I would regret the change. I will have to check that out...

AbsoluteHD has been a great deal for me, and I know once it is given up , then its gone. But loyalty aside, the offer presented to me from Comcast in a special Triple-Play package would beat this price. Not sure yet if it beats it by channnel line-up, but price-wise at least. I am doing a...

I have been with DISH now for over three years (offered through ATT). Outside of the occasional snowstorm outages, I have been quite pleased with everything. I have the Absolute-HD package. Recently Comcast has made an offer that is quite tempting and would replace all three services I currently...

I guess I don't get it. After reading the OP complaint, I went to the Dish Network website and saw the 3-month free HBO/Showtime offer. I selected to order it, and was sent to the various package offerings screen. From what I see, this offer appears to be for new customers, or possibly those...

Recently I have seen this issue on DVR playback of 'Hell's Kitchen' (also on FOX). Don't know why or how to fix. I assume it might be the broadcast itself. Since I was watching a recording, I could not check against the initial live broadcast.

That must be it. I hope they work on it fast! I tried hooking my laptop up to the same Ethernet port as the 622 and was getting arounf 5.1Mbps, which is within my DSL rating speed.

I wonder why I am getting 1.0Mbps. I am using ATT-Yahoo DSL (up to 6Mbps). The Dish 622 is connected via HomePlug Netgear XE104, which supposedly can go up to 85Mbps. Yes. I agree on the organization and the cost. Are the HD movies in widescreen?

I just hooked up my 622 to the internet. I went into DishONLINE and tried a couple free downloads. The progress meter shows me downloading at about 1.00 Mbps. The meter also shows that is changes between 1.00Mbps and 'stalled'. This occurs for the duration of the download. Is this the normal...

I activated via the dial-up phone number presented on the screen. Only problem with my activation was that I called the number and it indicated my EHD was now activated. Went to access the EHD, and it said it wasn't activated. Tried again. Same thing. Then I called support. They said the EHD was...

Happens occasionally. I have family over and the next thing I know, my DVR is recording "The Three stooges". Almost hate to cancel that one. Sometimes they hit a few wrong buttons, and voila...and new recording timer.

I recently added a Seagate Showcase 1TB external drive to my system. I have the Seagate drive 'switched' to turn on/off with my AVR. But now when I watch TV, I get the following message on initial system powerup: Attention (852) You have connected a multimedia device to the USB port. Would you...

You could get a universal TV remote (e.g., Logitech Harmony) that when programmed, automatically turns on all your devices with one button. Therefore, the 722 would be turned on with the TV and no splash screen.
