    Multimedia Abilities?

    I read the manual but it wasn't very specific. My question is - is there a way to play Burned DVD's (ISO's or otherwise) via the network from an HTPC on the multimedia portion of the hopper/joey?

    622 Guide Displaying No Info available

    Today my 622 is displaying no info available on the guide for my locals after 6pm. I have 7 days of guide, but each day is like this. Any solutions to force a download?

    Just signed up after 13 years with DISH - question about offer wording

    as I checked out I noticed it said "must maintain current level programming or above for free HD". I signed up for DISH ultimate with the free 3 months of premiums. If I cancel the premiums are they going to start charging me for HD?

    622 has started freezing at specific points in recorded programs

    My 622 has recently started freezing up while watching some newly recorded programs. If it freezes at 51:12 (arbitrary number) in a show once, even after a reboot it will freeze at that same point in the program the next time - even if you are fast forwarding. I also just tried moving once...

    World Cup on ESPN via DISH...lots of artifacting

    Is it just me or does the world cup look really bad on DISH's ESPN?

    FCC Says "OK, turn off Analog Outs"

    That appears to be what this article is saying. FCC allows blocking of set-top box outputs - Yahoo! News If so, that sucks. I have a great 57" TV without HDMI. It has a great HD picture. We plan on upgrading, but would prefer it be on our timeline not the FCC's.

    13 yr customer and they won't lease me another receiver (only have 2)

    Wah? So, I upgraded the bedroom TV's receiver in July to a 621. Now, I am ready to get one for the gameroom (no receiver up there right now), and they won't lease me another one? That just doesn't make sense to me. No way do I buy one when I pay the same fees either way.

    Receiver Choice Question

    I've had Dish for 13 or 14 years. We currently have a 622 (I think) and a 508 (same). I want to get two more receivers - one for an additional HDTV TV and one to replace the 508 (buying an HDTV for that room to replace dieing CRT). I am a little out of date on receivers available. What...

    Receiver Question

    I have a 722 in my den and a basic PVR (not sure which model but no HD on it) in my bedroom. I have only one cable going to my bedroom, and don't want to run another. SW64 is my switch. Does DISH currently offer an HD PVR with just one tuner/cable input required? I am looking at...

    Blackbox with www.evertz.com on Receiver?

    On our Dish PVR in the bedroom, I think it is a 310 (not sure right off the bat), anyway, a black box keeps coming up on screen on more than one channel with something like: http://www.evertz.com [p:] [n:] I searched on that name and didn't get anything in posts here that seemed relevant...

    HDNet Channels Not Tuning?

    Sometime recently, our channels 9422 and 9423 have stopped tuning. If I chose either of those two channels in the guide on my 622 it gives me the page about asquiring satellite signal and that it has been lost...showing satellite 110 transponder 7. I'm guessing since no one else is...

    Anyone in Tulsa with a 622 have problems with ABC?

    I'm looking for feedback from anyone in the Tulsa area with a 622 receiver. I get 100% channel strength, yet I get dropouts and pixelation constantly. I've tried putting an attenuator on the antenna lead (I have a full size antenna mounted in the attic), and it doesn't change a thing. All...

    So, who would like one of these? (Dish Tuner for an HTPC)

    Article on Engadget: Dish Network eying deal with Microsoft for HTPC TV cards. How about we start a pool on when the first non-beta one of these hits one of our systems? I pick August 1, 2010.

    CES D* News Conference Mentioned FX HD and SCI-FI HD

    This is the first I have heard of these two. I thought sci-fi had "no plans" for HD. Anyone heard anything?

    (Semi)-Live Feed from DISH CES Newsconference

    Go here (clicky) to read. Engadget has attendees in all the major events that give real time updates. Started at 10am PST, so barely in progress at this point. In other words, they can't afford the bandwidth to stream Network programming, so they will use it for PPV, etc.

    Can I link two Silver Sensors?

    Where I live, I need to rotate my Silver Sensor 180 degrees from the optimal placement in order to get a good signal for ABC. Is there some way I can just have two silver sensors and link them together? If so, what would I need?

    Quick 622 Question

    Well, two questions. 1) Will I get all the functionality from my 622 with my current SW-64 switch? 2) Can it record two satellite programs while I watch something live on the OTA antenna?

    Another 942 Connection Issue

    I have a 721 and two other single cable receivers. Currently, I have 4 cables from the roof to my switch. It is the older switch with 4 outputs (don't recall name right now). Can I use my old switch with the 942 or do I need to buy a new "DPP44" ??

    Current State of 921?

    Ok, I see there is a new price. Is everything else still the same? Last time I checked in (many months ago), the 921 basically was unreliable for OTA HD recordings. Is it still that way? I want 99% or better reliability. Currently, my 721 is great, and we switch over to the HD...
