No, I can care less because my wife truly enjoys the one international channel we subscribe to along with one public information channel that comes along free with our regular subscription. I'm more then satisfied with the current prime time shows I watch in HD both off the air and off the...

Back when we initially subscribed to "E" we opted for one international channel for $25(TV Japan) and the additional access fee was $5, to the best of my knowledge it remains at only $5 to this day. Our total bill now however is well above $100 a month because over the years we couldn't resist...

If your getting a dual tuner DVR you'll be charged an extra $5 a month if you don't connect a phone line, and or ethernet connection if the receiver is a Vip622 or 722.

I actually lost KFMB 8 to a pink screen for a short time last night also. They were the first to go HD with their local news programming but I guess as you've said they are experiencing problems at this point. I keep waiting to end up with an hour of pink screen on one of my KFMB 8 prime time...

That's interesting because it was channel 8 that I had lost and of course our other two receivers were picking it up as SD. Thank you for sharing the information.

Here is a new for for me anyway, last night I attempted to tune into one of my local channels and received a pink screen off our Vip622. I checked with our other two receivers a 625 and 301 and they both picked up the local channel without a problem. I then attempted to pick up the pink...

I can't say that my self install of a 1000.2 went as easily as all the other dishes I've put up over the years but with a little help from folks like RandallA I was able to get it locked onto all three satellites.

I've had good luck using the Terk HDTVi inside antenna with my computer for picking up local HD programming. I am however using their outside antenna with my Vip622

In accordance with the installation instructions for the 1000.2 "The cable length between the DISH 1000.2 and a connected compatible LNBF must be 80 feet or less".

The cable provider in my neighborhood does not carry TV Japan. Every time they attempt to offer me service I bring this up and that's the end of the conversation. AT&T on the other hand does offer TV Japan through their newly activated U-verse service, for $25 a month I might add. Unfortunately...

Would you care to elaborate on which providers have TV Japan priced at less then $25 a month.

We have been paying $25 a month for one(1) International channel for just over nine years so I fully understand what your saying. My only surprise is that they haven't attempted to raise their price in all these years.

If your using your Vip622 in single mode then of course your UHF remote already controls TV1 so it isn't a problem. What we are addressing here is folks that want to run their Vip622 in dual mode and be able to control TV1 with a UHF remote.

The four tuner limit is for leased receivers only, if you own the two(2) 211's it wouldn't be a problem. Personally I lease a Vip622 and 625 for a total of four tuners however I also have an old 301 I own on my account.

Believe me switching to UHF for TV1 is a very much supported feature, its just not listed in the menu like some of the other receivers. The minute you replace the green IR tab with the green 1UHF Pro tab and follow the instructions I posted earlier it shifts. At that point under "System Info"...
