Thanks Guys! The dish guy was not as thrilled as say Ganthet's was but he worked with me. In his defense, the coax runs were not done, so he had to run them to the closet. Not sure if he did it to my specs as he placed the tap and and the three-way switch there at the closet versus the main...

Has anyone had the Dish Installer work with custom patch panels? I used to have DirecTV and they did everything through the attic (switches and so forth). I moved to UVERSE and since they used Ethernet, I was able to centralize the setup inline with my whole home Ethernet solution (patch panels...

Ah Thanks for the photo. I saw some really old photos from Engadget when the unit was announced, but often it seems the prototype units shown at shows are not the ones you actually buy on release. In this case, no rack mount or silver menu control, so it is just the HR21 unit. Thanks again,

I have a HR21-100, actually two that I purchased from Costco nearly two years ago. I noticed in the forums that if it was a HR20/21 *PRO* it was bought vs leased without the Pro. Logically, since I purchased the units at 200 bucks a unit, I assume these are not the PRO and are in fact leased...

OTA will not be an option for me either. I am out in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Way too many trees and mountains for a small antenna anyways. I could get a roof-top version and would be able to get CW; but I dont see the cost in it for just one channel. I was mostly checking to see...

I am looking into D* but I noticed that I cannot get the CW in HD in my city (Seattle). Does any city have this channel or any plans on it being added in the HD channel lineup? The only useful show is Smallville, but I really dont want to watch it in SD; however, Comcastic versus D* is no...

Thanks again for the replies. She currently has the OTA into the TV directly to receive the HD feeds. Connecting it to the 501, I could not find them in the program guide, but that could easily have been OE. Good to know that she can still use the 501 in the bedroom to program shows there. I...

A family member still has the older PVR501 Dish 500 setup. She just purchased a HDTV and looking for content. I could not get the 501 to pull up the HD channels from the OTA, so I suggested that she upgrade to the 622. My first question in line with the title, can should put the 622 on the...

Thank you for your response. I had concerns that the clueless rep did not know what they were talking about. It is really ashame that today, you cannot depend on the CSR to actually know what they are talking about nor sale the item as it is. I was not about to purchase 300 bucks worth of...

I am currently a Comcast Cable subscriber. With Comcast I can record two HD feeds at the same time. My question is, if I purchase the DVR622 can I still record two HD feeds or am I limited to one HD feed and one SD feed (or a third OTA)? With the CSR (clueless service rep) I contacted, it does...
