no TV2 coax is probably a deal breaker for me. bummer, I was looking forward to this... amazing they would REMOVE a feature that sets them apart from the other guys...

I've been wanting to use that feature anyways. Do I have to pay a fee for the 'new' unit when I get it hooked up?

Okay, so now the receiver works again. My replacement arrived today. What do you think, was it a glitch or is my 622 dying? I can go with the new one anyways, I loose all my content, but now I have a refurb that was returned previously for another problem. I've read on here they don't always...

had my 622 for just over a year, now the green light comes on for a few seconds, the screen is blank, and then it shuts off. the fan sounds like it's running overtime, but the air coming out the side is cool. once I got to the 'acquiring satellites' screen, but it quickly reset again. I call...

I've also had a bunch of yellow screens during the olympics. I haven't seen that anywhere else, I'm hoping it's an NBC thing and not dish.

Ever since the little "TurboHD" icon with the message that our 622 has been turbocharged popped up, we have been having problems with our DVR. Live TV works fine, except I don't watch any live TV- it's all off the DVR. We never had problems with it before. The biggest problem is occasionally...

When I first got dish, no one told me about the 'no phone line fee.' the installer asked if we had a phone line, I told him no, he said 'no problem' and that was it. later, looking around online, I found out about the fee. I called and got the same basic run-around. I told them to cancel my...

you can grab a video converter at your local big box electronics stores for less than $50. You connect the video from the dvr to the converter and it will send the video to your PC via USB or Firewire. Usually in some MPEG format. The more you spend the more options you get. some of the newer...

read the manual, it will tell you how to set the remote channel, they all need to be the same. I think you hold down the sat button until it stays lit and then press the corresponding channel on the remote, but I don't remember off the top of my head. you know they the TVs will be the same...

KAB- For whatever it's worth, I was able to get the Next Gen to work with multiple devices. Turns out, the receiver itself generates an IR beam. So I have the receiver 2 feet away from my devices in the basement, and it can control both from one spot. I don't even use the little IR emitter that...

for whatever it's worth, I was able to get the 6.3 and 6.0 remotes working independently... thanks for the help.

worked perfectly. I set the 6.3 to band B and then manually set the white switch (sits in the 'V' of the key) all the way to the right and then back one click. Then I went to the system info screen, pressed record with the 6.3 which showed up as remote for TV1 and then I took my old 6.0 remote...

right- but I want to control TV2 with the 6.0 remote, which I've heard is possible. I found how to set the switch manually at another site, I'll post my results later.

I just got my new 622 set up. The tech left behind my old 6.0 UHF remote from my 625. I found this post: DBSTalk.Com - View Single Post - TV1 Remote question? from 2006 that talks about setting switches manually on the two remotes to get the 6.3 UHF pro to work for TV1 and the 6.0 to work for...

not this time, but I've used them in the past without problem. I would use it (Google checkout) more often but it creates a different order number and it is more difficult to check the progress of the order.a I'm a little surprised that it's taking this long to ship, usually buy.com has been...

a little update, my installer came and installed the 622 :) he didn't think it was possible to use 2 UHF remotes (he seemed VERY green- I'm not sure my dish is getting a strong signal- I'll save that for another post) but he left behind my old 625 remotes "just in case." So now I have the...

that's the thing, I have my box in the basement downstairs, I just want to hook something up and leave it- so I probably need a nicer expansion enclosure, which raises the price more. I see 320 GB models around $100 at Sams Club, I may just go that route and add the HD to my PC. of course I...

I don't know much about the difference with v1.3, but since it's digital you don't need to spend $300 on a fancy cable. 1's and 0's are the same regardless. Different from analog signals (component/compsite) where you can have some loss of signal and degredation from cheap cables. With digital...

for whatever it's worth , I picked up 2 25ft HDMI cables from firefold for ~$27 each and they had a 6ft cable on closeout for ~$4.

I have a spare 7200RPM 80GB HD laying around that I pulled out of an old PC. I don't have an enclosure for it. Would it be worth the $10-15 to get an enclosure and hook it up to my DVR or should I go ahead and look into a bigger external drive? In other words, how much HD/SD should I be able...

I told the first person that I wanted to close my account, she immediately moved me up the chain. I told them about the plasma concepts rebate (ends today) and that I could get in for basically nothing and they offered me the 622/new dish for $50. Good enough for me. D* clearly has the edge...

I thought I read somewhere that a guy had placed his IR emitter about 5 feet away from the components and was able to control all of them. I can't find it now though. I have a universal learning remote that I can control everything through that I plan on using with the extender.

KAB- I saw in another thread that you were using the next gen in your 622 remote and controlling an AV unit as well. Will the single IR emitter control both (I'm guessing strategically positioned towards both components) or did you get the multiple IR emitter accessory?

thanks for the replies. I will be getting the 622 receiver. I guess the install guy will have another remote I can buy or just get one off of ebay. the CSR I spoke to today said there was no way to use a UHF remote for TV1, I didn't want to waste time explaining to him I already do that. I just...

I'm getting the wrong CSRs, my contract is up and I've been trying to get an upgrade. I may use the plasma concepts current promo to get it- if they call my bluff then fine, I'll go to direct TV. I'm just afraid I'm going to say I'm canceling and they won't stop me. All I get is the $150...
