    Upgrade to 622

    I upgraded my 522 to a 622 a few months ago. I was originally told by DN I could do it myself. The 622 never arrived on the scheduled day. When I called DN, I was told, the first rep I spoke to gave me the wrong info and I couldn't do the swap myself. I had to schedule a service call. The...

    DCT5100 cable box

    Downloading PG

    Is there any way to force the download of the PG? I often fall asleep while watching TV and don't turn off the STB, so I miss the scheduled update.

    OTA INSTALLATION POLL: How many attempts did it take your installer(s)?

    Initial install was on 7/19/04. The installer said they don't guarantee reception with the OTA antenna. I am mapped for 40+ channels, but I only receive about 8. Voom said it looks like my antenna is only hitting 1 tower. I should be getting a signal from 3 towers. They said it needs to be...

    I had my Voom installed 7/19/04. I asked about the phone line. The installer said he never hooks it up. So far, it's not a problem
