Even a hurricane w/ 90mph+ winds in my area didn't blow either of my 2 dishes off my roof. Unbelievable! We've had other near misses in the past few years w/ no problems either. I thought for sure they would get wrecked in this storm.

I got the new receiver today and all problems are solved, except the LNB drift of -10. I have my OTA channels w/ description and all my locals.

You can get a 622. I have 4 of them and recently added a 722. I lease one of the 622's and the new 722, and the rest I just bought. I think you can only do 1 of the DishN-itUp per year, but otherwise you should be ok to add more.

They are now sending me a new receiver, so hopefully the new one will not have the same problem. I also have LNB drift at -11, so they say that could be part of the problem. But the previous receiver I had in this location was able to give the channel descriptions on the OTA channels.

That did not work. It did not reset counters or make it 480i either, so maybe I didn't do it right. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, I'll try that tonight.

I've done the check switch, soft reset, hard reset, etc. I'll check the map down function under locals setup today when I get home. I don't remember seeing that. The regular HD locals (6389-6392) do have the guide information, which goes out for over a week.

It's been hooked up for over 24 hrs.

I just added a 722 to my 4 622's. I have had 2 major problems with the 722. First, it freezes when I click on DishOnline. I had read that this is a common problem, so I'll wait for a software fix. The second problem I have not seen any info on. My OTA HD locals just show up as "Digital...

I was very excited about this technology, so I bought a Linksys wireless gaming adapter to talk to my wireless router and it worked great. I did not use the sling/electrical outlet method, because I don't think my tv and computer are on the same circuit. Anyway, it took 3+ hrs. to download...

My Pioneer plasma does that when I have HDMI cable run b/t dish receiver and tv, but when I use component cables, it clears up. So I don't know if that's your situation, but I really like the picture I get with component cables much better than HDMI. Now I also have other tv's (LCD) that seem...

Anyone else having this problem. Specifically, channels 6390 and 6391. I've called customer service and they don't have a clue. The video is fine, just the sound echoing. This is only happening on both of my 622's, not any other receiver. And what is warbeling?

I have two dp34 switches with a dpp 44 cascading off of it (3 cables connecting them). If I disconnect the power inserter on the dpp 44, I only lose signal on the receiver connected to the dpp 44. Sorry if this has been discussed already.

Recently a complete moron at E* told me I could use a 2 separators (kind of like diplexers) to combine the cables out of the dp34 switch, then separate it into 2 cables just before the receiver (on a vip 622). This obviously didn't work. I then appropriately bought a dpp 44 switch and used a...

Bug: When I have "locks" enabled, sometimes when I click on a show that is locked, it asks for the code, which I put in, then it thinks I want to record it (even though it is showing currently).
