i live in Fayette AL and i have noticed the same problem with 42. "The Unit" last weekend was particularly bad and it was really annoying my wife. good thing i don't watch CBS that much. unfortunately, i can only pick up CW over OTA -nothing else :( guess i should go call Dish and complain.

i just went upstairs and tried again. i couldn't get it to happen on a couple of the HD shows i watched. i know it was doing it before with HD shows though. but on the SD shows, it was still there and nothing affected it (ff speed 4x, 15x, etc. or using the "pause first before play" technique...

nice thing about the 360 harmony remote is that it has the 4 colored buttons that match the 360's buttons. but for the DVR i use those buttons for the DVR, GUIDE, ZOOM, and TV ZOOM buttons. no figitting with the menu (at the top of the remote) 99% of the time. you also should have the four...

does someone know if someone from dish scans these forums or should we all call dish and complain? or should we all call and complain anyways?

i have the logitech xbox 360 remote which is about the same as the 550. with a call to logitech support (and getting through to a level 2 tech support person), i was able to get the remote to work with both my 722 and 625. very easy to setup and use. only complaint i have with it is that some of...

i have this problem too. very annoying! i hope they fix it soon.

DVR's run all the time though. I am not sure what the point of only cooling it some of the time would be. Putting some kind of rheostat on the fan and adjusting the speed slightly would be a better solution. if you do cool the unit with a fan on the right side, make sure it is a fairly high...

i almost did the Dish/Sharp deal a few months back. but at the time they were out of stock, along with most other retailers. just so happened that QVC had a "today's special" on the 46" inch i wanted and that is what i did. my wife could stomach the "five easy payments" better than the lump sum...

here my problem... i have a 625 and 722. using a coax splitter/combiner, i ran coax out of each unit into the combiner. then ran a single coax line into my attic (two story house with an attic) and attached the antenna that came with the 625 to the end of the coax. the antenna is in the middle...

is everyone else seeing the friday night showing of the price is right in SD (on the HD channel)? when it frist started a few weeks ago, it was in HD. but the last couple of weeks have been SD (on the HD channel). is it just our local CBS doing it, or dish, or is everyone seeing it this way...

hmmm. i am the only person who has done any setup on the reciever. except for the installer who just got it working with the dish outside, but i watched him like a hawk to see what he was doing. i went into the setup menu to check the lock screen, and the adult option there is not set (so it...

where are the adult channels in the EPG? i can't find them in the list of "all channels". i would assume they would be red since i dont subscribe to them, but shouldn't i still be able to view the program guide for them?

i thought about asking the second person i talked to to let me talk to a second level person, but it was late and i was annoyed. i will keep that in mind next time! hmmm. they really need an option to DISABLE timers then. for cases where i know a show wont be on for awhile, but i would rather...

lucky you then. neither of the tech support people i talked to yesterday suggested doing anything more drastic than a simple reboot (which i had already done by myself). then i was told i would need to delete all my timers (about 80 right now) and re-do them. argh!! FYI, my 722 will only allow...

after three re-boots and two calls to dish support, nothing was fixed. so i forced an EPG download using the "check switch" option. immediately afterwards, nothing had changed. then about 15 minutes later i noticed that all the future shows that were scheduled to record at the wrong times were...
