    622 Activation and Purpose of Dish 1000

    UPDATE. On Wednesday I decided I would try and get the 622 installed and activated myself. I opened up the box, unplugged all the cables from the 942, plugged them into the 622, and flipped it on. I went through the check switch screen and all came up green and good. It rebooted and a screen...
