    Can I install larger Hdd in 622?

    No. I know from actual experience that the Hard Drive BIOS is proprietary. Sorry. Wait for external USB Hard Drive support. Should'nt be too much longer.:rolleyes:

    VIP622 Hard Drive

    My techy brother had a good question the other day. Does anyone know who manufactures the SATA hard drive (Maxtor, Seagate, Western Digital?) in the 622?. He was wondering if it was possible to use it in a windows PC after formatting to Fat32. There is no way I'll allow him to open my 622 to...

    Wash DC ABC horrible

    Thanks for the info. I sent them an e-mail. Still waiting for a response. Sounds like its a Dish problem since you receive the channel ok OTA. Man I wish I could talk to someone at Dish thats honest or the very least knowledgable and interested in providing quality customer service. BTW...

    Wash DC ABC horrible

    Today it was the worst! Is anyone else having problems with the picture quality of Washington DC ABC channel 7? Its pretty much unwatchable now. I have always had some distortions and breakups on that channel with the 622 but now its nothing but studdering, skipping, freezing, and pixelation. I...

    Tired of Waiting: My Quest for Significantly Viewed

    I'm sorry but you're flat wrong on this one! Cable can and will provide you SV programming automatically when Dish cannot legally provide the same content while in the exact same service location as the cable company. My point here is that there is no fairness in this market. Why should I be at...

    Tired of Waiting: My Quest for Significantly Viewed

    Totally agree! If, technically speaking, the customer is within a given spot beam I see no reason why we can't pick a local of our choice from all those within the spot beam. It's no sweat for Dish since all they need to do is assign the receiver code that aligns with the selected local. All...

    DC Local HD quality

    The DC ABC channel is really bad on the 622. Lots of breaking up with loss of pixels. Is anyone else having that problem?

    Today Ordered Vip622: 30 Day Wait!!!

    My installer did not charge extra to remove the 301 and connect the TV2 cable back on the TV. Heck, he even reconnected the surround sound free. You should'nt have to pay a cent to hookup TV2 to the 622.

    Today Ordered Vip622: 30 Day Wait!!!

    The upgrade install went perfectly. Took about 45 minutes. Installer arrived at 9am and replaced both LNBs along with the 622. Can't say enough about See World Satellite techs out of Indiana, Pa. Great service!

    VIP622 for $199 starting 6/9/06

    Yes. I just upgraded my owned 811 and 301 to a 622 for $199 plus a $6 monthly lease. They sent me 2 dish network empty boxes so I can return them for $25 each. I have 45 days to return them in order to get the credit. The boxes are postpaid so I just drop them off at UPS.

    Today Ordered Vip622: 30 Day Wait!!!

    Upgraded my 811 to a 622 last night (fri) and they'll be here to install it tomorrow (Sun) morning. What a father's day present! How's that for service?

    Is this correct?

    Seems to me you should have two Lease fees for the two receivers. I just ordered a 622 and the Platinum package to replace my 811 and 301. I was told there would be a $6 lease fee for the 622 regardless the number of receivers I have. I thought there would be no lease fee if you only have one...

    What would you like to see from HDNet?

    I wonder what ever happened to 'CART' auto racing that was on HDNet 2 years ago. I loved it and was looking forward to last years season but no 'CART' racing. What ever happened to it? Also, there wasn't as much NASCAR racing (Bush North and West) this last season as there was before. Seems like...
