    Combo DTV & TV power On & Off buttons on remote

    I can't get these buttons to work for the tv? They just turn off and on the DTV receiver. I assume I must have set these for the av1 or av2 or just off. Can't find how to set this back for the tv. Can anyone help?

    External Hard Drive

    I have 2 USB hard drives that I used for Dish Network shows. How do I use these drives on my computer now instead? I just want to use these as backup drives now for my computer. I don't care about the shows on them anymore. I hooked them up, but I don't see them in Explorer anywhere. Thanks...

    Install on Thursday

    I've got an install scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Does the HD dish fit on the same size pole as used for a Dish Network dish? Does Direct do pole installs? I live in Central Iowa.

    Switch from Dish

    Ok, I convinced my wife that MRV is just around the corner and we should get everything hooked up before football season. Mainly because our 3 year old Dish DVR has bit the dust so it's a good time to switch, and I don't want to pay the shipping to replace it. So, I will want to get 2 HD DVR's...

    622

    My 622 of 3 years might be dead. It won't turn on this morning, or reboot. I tried unplugging it for a couple of minutes and still no luck coming on. I don't see anybody else complaining, so I guess I will have to give them a call tonight.

    Sunday Ticket - 1080P

    I saw an ad for DirectTV in my Sunday paper claiming their Sunday Ticket would be in broadcast in 1080P this season. Is this a misprint? Do they have the bandwidth available and the capability to do live 1080P? If they do, do you think it will work? I would have to consider switching from...

    Installation help

    I lost my 61.5 reception this past winter, and ended up unhooking it. I redid the Check Switch with fewer satetllites. I have a dpp44 switch. So I have 110, 119, 129 and 61.5. Today with the nice weather I unhooked the other Satellites and tuned in the 61.5 dish. I can't get the Check...

    Turbo-charged Audio?

    Can someone who’s been turbo-charged with the latest software upgrade please check to see if you’re able to get audio from the HDMI output of your Dish receiver? I believe this would be necessary in order to receive all of the possible audio formats available with the VOD 1080P movies.

    Possible New Customer

    I wanted to make sure about this. My In-Laws would like to subscribe to *E. If they pay the $50 installation fee, can they quit at any time without losing any other money? It looks like they can get a free 722 receiver. Is this correct also? Has anyone signed up just recently. They don't want...

    100' Long HDMI?

    I see monoprice sells 100' long HDMI cable. Have any of you used this length before? I seem to recall people saying there was a limit to the length you could use. Also, does the HDMI port on the VIP622 pass audio as well as video?

    Downgraded?

    I called Dish on Thursday and downgraded from Top 250 to 100 +. I also dropped the SportsPak. I'm still getting the Top 250 channels now on Sunday night. I got online and it still says I'm subscribed for Top 250. Do you think I'm still paying for this or not?

    HBO has a free preview going on right now and it includes the HD channel on 285. I guess Showtime started a good trend last weekend.

    Upconversion

    Does the 622 upconvert sd programming to the component or hdmi output? I.E. does it turn 480i into 480p? If so, does it do as good of a job as some AVR's on the market?

    Remote (Aux mode)?

    Do any of you have your Dish supplied 622 remote working to control an Onkyo HT-S790 or a Yamaha YHT-370? This will definitely influence my purchase of either of these systems. Must be able to control the power, volume and input source. Otherwise, I will have to find a store with them on display...
