If anyone cares, I finally figured out the problem in my case. As I had suspected, Dish changed their software to require an EDID response from the display in order to complete the HDMI handshake. My old Samsung CRT HDTV, although it was new enough to have a DVI input (and supposedly HDCP...

Manual says it is... "By inputting a high-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the DIGITAL INPUT jack on the TV, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital forms. (This DIGITAL INPUT jack is for use in the future when...

L441 killed my HDMI connection, just like L409 did (came back when they reverted to L405). HDMI test shows HDMI enabled on the Dish STB side = FALSE. I've tried a couple of hard reboots but it won't flip back to TRUE. TV is an older Samsung TSN3084WHD (DVI input). Any suggestions? --...

Ah, yes...that's what I was misremembering -- the 5.1 thing. I'm continuing to have HDMI problems after the software downgrade, so it looks like it's probably the port pins acting up. It's nice to have the built-in HDMI test to see what's going on in real-time, but the info is not terribly...

Yes, I know that. I was saying (among other things) that it was my understanding that the 622's HDMI port didn't pass audio even if you -did- have it hooked up to a HDMI input on your TV. There were some comments awhile back about "why do they call it a HDMI port on the 622 when it doesn't...

I thought, at least on the 622's, that the "HDMI" port didn't pass audio? Although, I thought I saw a post in the L409 thread where someone talked about the HDMI port -now- passes audio...? I wondered if that was possibly part of my problem? If they "tightened up" the HDMI software with...

Mmm, maybe I spoke too soon. Today, after my 622 was downgraded from the L409 to L405 software, when I tried the "reset HDMI" button, the HDMI port started working again. "Reset HDMI" didn't fix it the other day when I still had L409. I believe I did get L409 during the week I was away...

Update: My 622 HDMI port finally gave up the ghost. I came back from a week's vacation and it was dead. Guess I'll have to call in for a replacement box -- hopefully with one of the redesigned ports... -- KEENE

Worked fine for me. I just had to go in and edit my personalized list so that the downmapped channels weren't deselected/hidden. -- KEENE

That was me. Still working fine after the "repair"... :up -- KEENE

Yes, that is correct. Still working fine so far... :) -- KEENE

HDMI on my 622 spontaneously kicked the bucket after 3-4 months of no problems. Definitely a port/PCB breakage. If I torqued on the HDMI cable in just the right way it would come back on. I popped off the cover to take a look at the pins, but after seeing the size of them didn't feel...
