I have the subject line DVD player and was wondering how to get the 1080i upconversion to work?? Sure could use some constructivie help here.. ;) Lost in Illinois.. :D

I didn't have the problems you gents had with installation fees but they upgraded my package without my permission.. I noticed the extra channels whilst watching the 622 and called my sat guy and we conference called and had my package moved back to the one I had.. I looked at my bill on...

Gentlemen I am receiving the Moline locals on the Super Dish (105?) and this was the only reason that I had it installed and this was contingent upon the installation of the roof mounted OTA antennas and that is done.. So am I getting this right, I am getting Moline locals on 105? I would...

I really don't know.. Other than it's there.. :confused: Seriously how can I find out what I am receiving on the 4 sats that I am picking up as 105 might not mean a hill of beans to me and you could be informing me of something I need to learn..

Well the 622 is intalled so I got a new mast, a piece of 1' galvanized water pipe and a cap for the top, and intalled the 3018 on top and the 4228 on the bottom and I "think" I solved the problem with wind changing the angle of the antennas and cauing dropouts.. Only time and weather will...

I talked with the installer whilst he installed a Dish 500 to receive sat 129 for the 622 and asked him about my low signal (50 to 60 %) on sat 105 and he agreed that the signal was to low and he tried to tweak.. He said after trying to get a stronger signal that he thought I had a bent dish...

Well here is the bottom line folks.. I LOVE IT!!! The 622 is above and beyond my expectations and there will be a long friendship between it and the Panny 50" Plasma for the future.. Well at least until the next technological advance comes along.. ;) The installer arrived early on...

WEEELLLLL!!! Someone had to do it right!! ;) Jussttt Kidddinnn.. :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm digging the heck out of this 622 and my wife being "technologically challenged" has...

Well to make a long story short I have the 622 installed with the Super Dish and Dish 500, both dishes fed to a DP44 Swith to a single coax going to a DP separator and finally to the 622s dual receivers.. :) :up Well to make a long story short we, my wife and I, haven't had enough time...

Not a problem Dirtydan and I have been know to be an effective motivator/butt kicker indeed. LOL The LNBs on the roof are HDTV and DishPro so I have no idea if these are the right ones but I hope the installer and sat guy are talking.. The sat guy "should know" what I have, even in...

While reconnoitering the install, thanks Rick, I got to thinking about the preamp and I thought over the signal strength and I figured a preamp would be overkill in an 80% signal situation.. It was either the antenna or the tuner... In the surveying my install I also determined the...

Weeelllll,, when I was drinking I wasn't received to well.. BWHAHAHAHAHA!!! And yes the weather is freaking great!!! Time to ride the motorcycle!! :cool: :up

Well the way I was told that the two dishes will be combined to a switch and the signals from the birds will go to the 622 via one coax and a splitter will separate to TV1 and TV2.. I have a fresh single run of RG6 for the dishes and a fresh single run for the OTA so I have that base...

I do believe that in our conversation on the install he mentioned a DP44 in which case it seems like this will be the Cat's Meow.. I told the Mrs. that we needed to get out of the VCR age and go the latest and greatest so I and she are looking forward to the DVR and all it's capabilities...

What if I put a good preamp on the 4228 and if so will it affect the 3018 with the antenna joiner in place?? As I said before I have an 80% to 90% signal on channel 58 when the wind isn't blowing.. :( Just a thought and I will wait until the vip622 install before the preamp or...
