    No Free HDMI cables anymore

    Is an HDMI cable, just an HDMI cable? What's this version 1.3 I'm reading about? Does the amount of Gbps matter? I understand that at least 800gbps for a blu-ray connection. The dish installer the other day, put a huge scratch in my wood floor, and he called his mgr, and 3 more folks came...

    Dish Menu "HDTV Setup"

    Neither. Does "cable" refer to non-satellite providers? Do I need to be concerned about HRC,IRC. I just pay Dish for the HD locals, so I'll never use an antenna probably. Just watched Seinfeld, and was flipping between SD & HD and could see little difference. Maybe it's the 1992 filming...

    Volume and Sound Fluctuations

    Just got the 622, and notice a big decrease in volume and sound quality when I switch from SD to HD, especially when they're the same channel (ex. TNT vs. TNT HD). Anyone know if this is a receiver issue, connection issue, or TV issue?

    VIP 622 Version

    Is the 622, version 1.3 or higher? No one at dish knows, not even the installer. Also, how much Gbps do I need in my HDMI cable that connects the 622 to the HDTV? Will one from Walmart do?
