    Dish 622 L4.05 Software (the software formerly known as 409)

    mike, what channel gives you issues... I'm in Rochester also and have issues with ABC only. My other locals are OK.

    Food HD "Black Flashes"? Anyone else?

    Yes, this happens to me as well. Seems to be a recent thing, and seems to be only Food HD (and maybe Food SD also, but can't remember).

    L405 for 622

    I use an indoor antenna. I've spent many hours trying different locations / positions, and even tried 2 other antennas. Nothing has improved the situation. The one channel giving me a problem is ok when tuned through my tv. It seems to me that Dish should be able to figure out what has...

    L405 for 622

    I've had L405 for a couple days now and I can confirm that it has not resolved my OTA pixelation problem. I still get brief bursts of pixelation and audio stutters on one channel (ABC). OTA was never a problem before L401.

    L4.05 update

    I've been having OTA dropouts on one channel (ABC) since L401. I just noticed this morning that I have L405. I don't believe it has entirely fixed my OTA problem though since I did witness a couple of moments of brief pixelation today. I haven't watched enough yet to determine whether L405 is...

    Is my Local Installer trying to rip me off? Charging an extra $150 fee.

    I wouldn't pay that. I had an excellent install done by a recommended local installer. He asked for $20 because I needed a wall fish done.

    Need a little help before making the big switch to Dish

    Hi, I switched from TWC to Dish (Gold pack) a couple of months ago and I have been extremely pleased with the change. I only wish I had switched sooner. I have the 622 and it is far superior to the SA8300 box TWC uses. I like having the ability to hook up a 2nd SD tv without another...

    Its Ok - Your call IS important to them !

    I just cancelled my 3 month trial. The lady tried to tell me a downgrade fee would apply... that is until I pointed out it was a trial. Can you really get 3 months free? Since you're billed a month in advance, how can you actually watch the premium channel for 3 months and not get a bill on...

    Anybody get their HD rebate yet?

    I called a CSR when I got my second statement and no rebate was applied. Lady stated the rebate form was received, but they take 6 - 8 weeks to process it. So, it's more like the third, possibly fourth statement that the rebate will kick in.

    NGHD worth it?

    I got the Gold package primarily for NGHD. While I don't like the thought of paying 10 bucks extra for 1 channel, I do watch it quite a bit. I really like the Seconds from Disaster show.

    Help!!!DVR harddrive crash

    If you're really desperate, and you are able to yank out the drive, there's an awesome data recovery tool called SpinRite (written by Steve Gibson) at grc.com. This tool works miracles as long as the drive is not physically damaged. If you can get the drive hooked up to a PC and run SpinRite...

    phone line charge

    I also have the same problem using Vonage and I've tried all sorts of things like using a DSL filter and *99 prefix. The strange thing is that I can use the modem in my computer to connect to my ISP and surf the web over Vonage, yet I can't connect to Dish?
