    How many times have you had your ViP 622/722 replaced?

    Do the 722's not suffer the same issues as all these recent 622's are having? Since I'll be on my 4th refurbished 622 in two weeks I'm wondering if I should insist that I be upgraded to a 722 - or are the 722's just as bad?

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    My 3rd refurbished replacement 622 just died on me this morning... same "continuous reboot hell" symptoms as described in this thread. I called Dish for a 4th replacement but they are sending a tech out instead who will have a 622 on the truck. Has there been any more news as to the cause of...

    Sign my parents up now or in Feb??

    I finally got my folks to buy a nice new Sony HD 52" LCD and I need to sign them up with Dish. Should I do it today/tomorrow or wait till February starts (I know there are some changes coming)? I want to hook them up with America's Top 200 plus of course the HD Pack (they want all the HD...

    LNB drift?

    Ok found it, greater than +/-5 = replace LNB... I just called Dish and they're coming out free of charge. I wonder how I'm still getting a signal with 61.5 at -11!!! Thanks Smith.

    LNB drift?

    I looked up a few threads and it makes more sense now but I still don't know how to interpret the numbers I got: 0x0d, 0xa1, 61.5 (e-11.04) (o 0.00)

    622 pixelating while DVR playback

    I have L4.05... Since I installed the 622 the day before yesterday I'm not sure if I ever haf L4.09. Strange that I'm having the problem with L4.05 when the rollback solved that same problem for others.

    LNB drift?

    I was playing with my new 622 the other night and got to the diagnostics menu. I ran a test and everything popped up "ok" but there was a message saying "check notes", I did and got a "LNB drift" message... Sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what this is, can somebody please explain it to...

    622 pixelating while DVR playback

    I'm sure this has already been answered but I couldn't find it... I've had my 622 for just a few days, it replaced my 942. I like my new HD channels I'm now getting with MPEG4 but my big complaint is the quality of the DVR playback... it pixelates and distorts about every 2 minutes. My 942 was...

    Got a Sprint Mogul (6800) for only $288.99

    I'm on a shared plan already with Sprint and I don't need to upgrade my phone... I'm afraid that if i call they won't swap me over to the Sero rate plan since it seems its individual only - not to mention only for new plans. Maybe this offer will still be around in October when my contract is...

    Are Locals & HD Locals included in the Everything Pak?

    Thanks Gary. I'm going to call Dish back to verify... I do already have SD locals so hopefully they upgraded me to the AEP with locals. Are you also saying that HD locals are part of getting locals in general - nothing further is required to get them in HD?

    Losing DVR content if I keep my 942?

    I'm getting the 622 but I currently own my 942. I think getting $10 for it from Dish is kind of lame and the CSR told me I'm not required to send it in. The other receiver in my house is a 322 so I'd like to put my 942 in its place thus giving me a second DVR when the 622 comes in on Saturday...

    Are Locals & HD Locals included in the Everything Pak?

    I'm getting the 622 to replace the 942 that I own. While on the phone with the CSR I also upgraded my AT200 with HD Pak to the Everything Pak and the new HD Pak. I forgot to ask them about my locals and the tech doesn't come out with the 622 till Saturday. Are locals - and especially HD...
