I've noticed that some channels are missing from the DRA like/dislike settings. Most obvious right away were the HD Platinum channels. Is this a known issue? M

I just ordered a vip722 (non-K version) as an upgrade from our vip622. We have about 500gb of content on an external drive and I'm wondering if it will survive the switch to a different model DVR. I recently swapped out my old 622 to a new one after it died, and the external hd media came...

I'm having trouble with the Remote Access setup not seeing my vip622 dvr as online. On the sling page after logging in, When I enter the receiver ID and hit next I get the message on the next screen of "Your DISH DVR does not appear to be online." However, a check of the broadband connection...

After 5 years with Dish I'm seriously considering switching to DirectTV. One of the main reasons is because of DirectTV's "whole house dvr" feature which allows sharing the content of one dvr's drive with all the receivers in the house. Currently we are using the two separate outputs of our...

I have a vip622 with broadband enabled, but for some reason cannot access the Dish Remote Access setup on my online account. When I click the link after logging in, it simply takes me to my billing info over and over. I've confirmed the broadband connection is working, all tests are go, dvr...

Our vip622 suffered a hd failure last week and yesterday a Dish tech came by to replace it. After it was up and running I noticed the the media on my external hd no longer shows up as a "my media" link in the main dvr recordings list (along with list of recorded shows on internal hd). It is...

Does anyone know if its possible to configure the 2nd (UHF) remote for the 622 to control the TV1 functions instead of TV2 outputs? I want to re-route the HD signal to another room but control the 622 from there. Thanks, Mitch

I have the 622 and wanted to buy a dvd recorder to back up certain programs. I tried a couple of dvd recorders about 6 mo ago, but wasn't 100% happy with any of them in conjunction with my Charter SA8000HD box at the time. Here are some things I'm wondering... 1. Does the 622 allow output...

I've been eyeing the One for All 8910 universal remote. Has anyone tried this with the vip622? At $20 shipped it seems worth a try. Thanks, Mitch

I was trying to set up the Dish remote that came with the Vip622 to control my Panasonic S35 dvd player. I tried all the codes listed for that brand, and none of them will allow the directional arrows to control the on screen menus. Power, play, ffwd, etc. all work. I know everyone is going...

I'm going to be putting a small outdoor uhf antenna (radioshack U-75R) in my attic and trying to decide how to mount it. Would a simple screw-in pipe base-flange and a wooden dowel from the hardware store suffice? The antenna is only 2.5lbs and 40" long. Thanks, Mitch

I just picked up a RCA D903 line amplifier for possible use in boosting my UHF antenna signal before a 2-way split (each going to a Dish HD receiver). However, I'm not sure if this thing is even useful for UHF frequencies since it appears it's designed for sattelite signals. The info printed...

I just got Dish installed last week, and was considering the addition of an OTA antenna to get better quality HD locals. It appears that ALL of the stations I need are coming from the same location, Mt. Wilson, which is less than 5mi from my house in Altadena CA (just northeast of Los Angeles)...

Although I don't plan to install a OTA antenna right away, I would like to do any possible cabling I might down the road before our custom entertainment cabinet gets installed in the den. Would all I need be a coax for any future OTA hookup, and if so, can I simply run a shorter length (around...

So, my Dish install went pretty painlessly yesterday. The installation guy was super friendly and knowledgeable. We have a 622 and a 211 with the 1000 antenna (sats 119,110,129). The picture quality on the HD channels seems to be VERY good...way better than what we were getting with Charter...

Has anyone tried the following setup? 622 on primary (HD) tv 211 on secondary (HD) tv Secondary Output from 622 fed into COAX input directly on back of 2nd TV. Switch input source to CABLE on that TV to watch DVR stuff, and use the component or HDMI input from 211 to watch live HD...

So, I signed up for Dish last week and the install is scheduled for this saturday. Because they will NOT refund the $199 lease upgrade fee on the 622 DVR, I decided to get two regular HD recievers instead (211) in order to evaluate the service for 30 days with less risk. My plan is to upgrade...

I was wondering what models of Harmony remotes will work with the 622. I assume only certain ones will operate the DVR functions. Amazon has the Harmony 628 for under $50 but I'm not sure it will work. Would like to avoid spending over $100. Thanks Mitch

I'm contemplating the switch from Charter to Dish, and was wondering about the Remote that comes with the 622 and 211 HD receivers. I really like the current ones that came with our SA 8X00 boxes because they control our cable box, tv, dvd and amp. They can be set to control the power of all...

After two months of waiting for Charter to get my HD cable working correctly, I've had it. Five tech appointments and dozens of phone calls later Im still missing about 1/3 of my channels with bad interference on half the rest. They say its "water damage on the main line" and it will be...
