I haven't seen anything positive here regarding the 922 so I guess I'll keep my 722. What I'd really like to do is to watch HDTV in an adjacent room and the 722 will only deliver HD to TV1. Is it possible to use a sling adapter to send a signal to the 2nd TV and is there a receiving adapter...

I've done a little browsing the posts regarding Joey/Hopper but still can’t find what the projected cost is. I found the technology by asking about advantages/disadvantages of going 722->922, and the recommendation was to wait for the Joey. I would wait and adopt the new technology if the cost...

I'm considering upgrading 722 -> 922 for the sling function that will allow me to watch TV on my iPad. But I recall when the 922 first came out that there was something that I would lose. something dealing with the ability to watch different programming on different TV's or something like...

This happens to me all the time with my VIP722. I'm watching a program live on TV1 and something comes up that I have set to record on TV1. The 2-minute ticker starts. I check the "daily schedule" and see that nothing is set to record on TV2. The only way that I know to switch the oncoming...

Thanks - That's what I figured. I'll get the ole rabbit ears out & try to get my wife to watch Dancing with the Stars OTA.

Is there any way to record two programs and watch a third live at the same time? I don't have an antenna - just the VIP 722.

Amen to that. Everything from building houses (whatever's cheapest for the builder without regard to homeowners or planetowners) to appliances is based on what will produce the greatest profit in the quickest time. Off topic, but for my job I looked at power consumption versus cost and even...

Thanks for the reply. I'll continue using my EHD for that.

Is it possible to daisy-chain my 622 and 722 so that I can exchange programs saved between the two? I currently have a 722 that I'm using as my main receiver and a drone 622 that is not connected to satellite. I download programming to my EHD and transfer to the 622 for viewing in another...

I just got 616 in the Raleigh/Durham market area and I'm very familiar with the sound dropout problem on recorded/rewound programming - especially local HD. 616 appears to have solved the problem for me.

Good News - Finally! Sound dropouts apparently fixed Watching tonight's local news (WTVD) I noticed almost immediately that there were no dropouts. The problem had gotten really bad over the past few weeks. I checked the system information (Menu/6-1-3) and sure enough, I now have software...

I think that you are referring to a different problem here. Stereo/surround/sync are not the complaints here, though the sync problem does annoy me also. The thing being reported here is the actual loss of sound for a micro-second or so. Best description is a bad cell phone connection. Also, I...

FWIW - IWAL (Meaning it's worth a lot). I'm keeping up with this issue and am where you are mentally. Close to switching to DirecTV. I keep checking for L615. Now I guess it'll be L617 or later before this problem gets cleared up.... if ever. If I figure that Dish is unable to fix the...

Having both a 622 and a 722 I agree with all that's been said. I can see no difference except color and a bigger HDD. However, if you decide to get a 722 anyway, you may want to talk them into allowing you to keep the 622. The cost to me to upgrade after a recent fire and move was $95. I...

I'm finally getting around to trying to program all my stuff into the 722 remote. I have a Panasonic BD-30 BluRay disc player and have tried all of the remote codes for Panasonic/DVD. The best I can come up with is a code that will turn it on/off and do FF/REW. I need the arrow up/down to...

This sounds like a different issue. The dropouts experienced by most of us with L614 are <1 second - just a syllable or two. Best description is a bad cell phone connection. I haven't experienced the longer dropouts that you describe.

Menu/Installation/System Information, I think. There may be another branch on the menu tree, but the screen that you want is "system Information." There's lots of information there, and one of the boxes provides software version. Yours is probably L614 which is what the rest of us experiencing...

Thanks, Pakbaker for the confirmation of my assumption and for the referenced URL. I hadn't been following that thread but will now. FYI I have been noticing more pixelation as well and I still have v614 so this issue may be unrelated to the v615 sound fix. It may be that since the pixelation...

New information here (to me at least). Implied in your post is that the sound dropout problem is fixed and will be delivered with the L615 software update. Am I interpreting this correctly? Not surprisingly since we're both in the same geopgraphical area, I still have vL614 also. Can you or...

You may be right. My problems seem to be limited to 118. I don't understand how channels are broadcast, but most of my watching is recorded news feeds. Local I presume is uplinked from the local news affiliate. But the national news and GMA where the problem also is evident are presumably...

I just read my own post while reviewing this thread. Actually I should have said that my sound problem occurs ONLY with the dish transmissions. I haven't had an outdoor antenna (other than my dish) for a while.

If I believed that Dish can't or won't fix this problem I'd bail also. For me it's a matter of wait and see. The inconvenience of switchig to DirecTV for now outweighs the wait. But if they don't fix I'm betting that they'll lose more customers than they already have.. K3nn3th - yes what you...

FYI My sound dropouts are limited to only a few channels - unfortunately the ones that I watch most - ABC news (local and national) is most consistent and the most frequent dropouts. Also, all of my dropouts are <1second. Mostly a syllable. Very annoying. Your 2-second dropout may have been...

The only place that I've heard this is a software problem is on this forum. I complained to Dish after experiencing the problem after upgrading from 622 -> 722 and getting HD locals. I assumed that it was the 722. Dish replaced the 1-month-old receiver and the problem did not resolve. I then got...

Is programming the only thing Charlie chats aobut? In my opinion, the sound dropouts are a much more severe problem. I agree that Dish has superior hardware but I'm seriously considering the switch to DirecTV if this sound problem does not get fixrd soon or at least addressed by Dish. I'm...
