    Anyone have this happen when 'moving'?

    I realize that, but it may make them rethink how freely they allow the "moves" is all I am saying.

    Seems to me that discussing your "moves" here in a forum that is known to have Dish people watching would be ill-advised.:eek:

    herky-jerky channels anyone?

    It is not dropped frames from transmission/solar errors (at least in my case)-if that were the problem then the same frames would still be missing after a rewind or skip-back, which they are not.

    herky-jerky channels anyone?

    It's been happening to my 622 fairly frequently the last couple weeks. The only fix for me seems to be to skip back a couple times, then back to where I was. It's definitely happening on sd channels, but I don't recall if it has happened on any hd channels. I should mention that it occurs...

    new pilots listed on my 622

    You can go to amazon and download Chuck and Bionic Woman pilots (among others) for free. I watched both, and both will be added to my dvr list.

    SD channels displays left/right black stripes

    If you are watching an HD channel (i.e. A&E) AND the program you are watching was filmed in HD (i.e. CSI Miami) THEN the picture will fill the screen perfectly, provided that your tv's aspect settings are set correctly. Many programs on A&E and the other HD channels are not HD programs (i.e...

    When to call about rebate

    I believe that the $50 credit will be in the form of a rebate check, not a credit on your bill.

    L4.03 on 622

    Did you see the winking smiley at the end of my comment? That was meant to indicate that I was just kidding around. You are usually right on the money with your comments. Geez. :rolleyes:

    L4.03 on 622

    My 622 was running 3.66 up until a few minutes ago-it just downloaded and installed 4.03. So much for your theory, Mr. Smartypants! ;)

    L4.02 to spool Thursday 4-5-07.....

    I still have v366, and I am now noticing that my channels are taking alot longer to switch than they did when I first got it a month ago. It's almost like watching Dish on my in-laws old 1st gen receiver. I wonder what is going on...:mad:

    A&E HD To Launch Wednesday

    Yes! I noticed that as well, and was quite perplexed. Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, Driving Force, King of Cars are all examples of the mysterious backtracking to SD from HD. Only thing I can think of, other than technical reasons, is that they shoot their so-called "reality" shows out of...

    Rave HD

    That Phil Collins concert was also the first thing I watched on Rave. I recorded it a few nights ago and watched it. Superb picture quality. I was quite impressed.

    622 "pause bar" burn in

    Suggestion: Recently, I was experiencing flickering lights when I powered up my 60" Hitachi Ultravision LCD. Ignored it at first, but it gradually got worse. Eventually it got to the point where I'd power up the tv and the breaker would turn off. So I started to worry (needless to say)...

    How To Use 622 In Our Rv

    My guess is yes you will have to at least make them aware, if for no other reason than to maybe have them disable the "no phone line connected" nag that I hear is there.
