Who has the record for the most commercial name changes? I haven't looked into all the possibilities, but here in Philly, our main arena began hosting events as the Corestates Center. Corestates was acquired by First Union, which led to the aptly named for Philadelphia First Union - or 'FU'...

take a look at these maps to get an idea of what they did last year: 2006 NFL TV distribution maps

Yes, you can do that. the 622 has both the HDMI and component active at the same time. Due to the distace, you want high quality cables though. Do some research online, you should be able to find some that won't break the bank. Remember, that you can only watch one program in HD at a...

Your question is a little ambiguous. Are you trying to send the raw OTA signal to a tv that has an ATSC (digital OTA) tuner? The 622 doesn't seem to pass the antenna feed back out, just one or two modulated channels. But you could combine that output with an antenna feed and send it all...

It's a shame there's no way to drop the drive into another unit and power up... what does happen if you put an old drive in an uninitialized unit?

I don't know...do you think the markup on a DISH branded drive would be less than a one time charge to utilize your own USB Drive? I see it being one or the other: buy theirs or pay a fee to 'activate' a unit supplied by the owner.

So I'm watching TV the other day and I lose the picture to a black screen, and the 622, upon inspection is 'off' (no lights, fan, hard drive sound, etc). The power button receives no response, so I unplug, and replug to reboot the system. After a few seconds all the front panel lights light up...

I've read some conversation about the UHF PRO remote 'keys' about which I never knew. I have a 6.3 which came with the 622 and 6.0 which came with the 625. The 6.3 has a blue '2' / black UHF key and the 6.0 has a blue '2' / green '1' key. What's the difference, and what are all the...

Yes, unless I'm missing something. I recently got both a 625 & 622 installed, and I interchange their UHF remotes all the time. (I actually don't know which is where anymore.) You need to set the receivers to two different 'remote addresses' say 1 & 2. Then you can switch the remote to...

alright, cool, it seems to let me set up the three recordings...neat!

I think I read that the 622 can handle two satellite feeds and an OTA feed at the same time. Is this correct? I have two programs for that unit to record at 10:00 from satellite feeds. Can I still watch my MNF (which here in Philly is simulcast OTA by local ABC)?

I deduced that the 622 only has one OTA HDtuner. Is this correct? If so, I'd say that's a little disappointing. Not horrible, as I can and do get some of my HD locals via satellite, but not being able to tune in two different HD OTAs at the same time is surprising for such an advanced...

I don't think so anymore (there used to be a Sunday Ticket only package).

I'm curious about the shipping costs...it's for shipping the unit to an installer? Or do they ship the unit to you, then the installer comes out?
