I don't know whether those games will be on the app, but you should be aware that the app (at least for iPad) is terrible. More than once the games that were on NBC Sports were not available (Sounders game a few weeks back was listed as "upcoming" even after it had started, never became...

I noticed that ESPNEWS (ch. 142) is no longer the SD-feed. The channel is SD, but they're actually displaying the HD-feed so you get black bars all around and a small picture b/c of the 16/9 aspect ratio shoehorned into the 4x3 SD display. Makes reading the ticker kinda hard from across the...

Kudos +1 and Thanks. DIRT helped me replace a bum 612 and haven't had any issues since. Thx!

A new 612 is on its way. Thanks to MattG for great customer service! Having DIRT on this board is a wonderful asset. And an extra thanks to Matt (and to those up the ladder who got the program going) for seeing the value in providing customer service outside the standard channels of phone and chat.

I have a 612 on our upstairs TV that seems to freeze about 4-5 times each week. It automatically restarts per the schedule (in the afternoon so it doesn't wake me up) but we have to do a hard restart (holding down the power button) quite regularly. My 622 downstairs is rock solid (have maybe...

Got my update and noticed a few things moved around (including CC), but otherwise seems stable. Hopefully this will make the freezes disappear, or at least reduce in frequency. (I've been hard-rebooting it because it locks-up/freezes probably 3 or 4 times a week lately).

Me too. We have folders for each family member and in those there end up being folders, so we're two deep. Click on info on one of the shows and when "Done" it always goes back to the very top - a real PITA!

I had a CSR "re-hit" both the 612 and the 622 and the drive is showing up on the 612 and working just great. However, I still have nothing on the 622 ("No device connected.") Since the EHD is working just fine on the 612, I'm afraid that something's screwy with the 622's ability to read it (bad...

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'm on vacation now but will give them a try when I return - especially the "re-hit" to the 612 so that I can at least access the files on that receiver. Thx.

Are you sure about 612 vs. 622? I just tried it (from 622 to 612) and I got an error that it could only be used by one receiver at a time and I could reformat for the 612. A Dish CSR chat said that the model numbers had to be the same. I'd LOVE to be wrong...

I have a Seagate Freeagent EHD that has been working fine. As has been posted in other threads, this drive spins down and the 622 doesn't recognize it. My solution to this (as I use it very infrequently) has been to just unplug the USB and then plug it back in. So far, so good - this has always...

This issue is particularly bad for kids' TV shows that are on many many many times a day. My "New Episodes" for iCarly is going to record 50 episodes in the next week because every one of them has the generic description, no original air date, and no episode number. Setting a weekly timer for...

The issue from the OP (and me too) is not that it's artistically grainy or not (Battlestar Galactica had this for sure), but that it fluctuates quickly between being grainy and being clear/clean, especially on skin tones. This is a PQ issue that is affecting certain shows on certain networks -...

Yes! I thought I was the only one. I noticed it on last week's Rescue Me (haven't watched yet this week). I also noticed this for shows on Fox (KCPQ13 here in Seattle) but figured it was a local channel issue. And until Rescue Me, Fox was the *only* place I saw it. It's probably not a...

Just to be clear, while some of those may be ONLY in the Multi-Sport Package, according to this: America's Top 200 Package - Over 200 Channels From DISH Network the NFL Network is still part of AT200 (and AT250). Any reason to think the same thing that happened to ESPN Classic will happen to NFL...
