Similar issues. Just get a new 722 with mpeg4 on it. It has either no DVR, I go through the reset procedure...unplug 1 minute, etc...and it starts for a while then freezes. Reboot, no DVR, same procedures, works for a while and then stops again. The 722 has only been here about 1 month...

My DVR 622 has started blacking out once in awhile. While watching, it goes black, sometimes with voice, sometimes without. A few times there is a picture and no sound. I reboot it and it works for awhile but then starts up again. I lease the system (started late July last year). Is...

Yes. 18 month contract. I just wish that locals were all HD without antenna. I am still evaluating whether to go to Comcast, DTV or just stay put. I do like the 622 but we have had to reset it 5 times in 2 weeks now. We keep losing the sound from it. But that is another issue...

I admit the DVR is nice. Got to look at the whole picture. Right now I am using Verizon FIOS for internet, no TV available in my area yet. I have Vonage for phone, not counting the cell phones. And E* for TV. When it is all added up, that is about $170/month. Maybe the Comcast triple...

Oh they are leased...no selling the boxes. I just wish that E* would come into Harrisburg with HD locals. Any idea when that might be. I looked at the list they had (somewhere) and didn't see anything close to Harrisburg, PA. I will also call them to see if I am under contract. I really...

I got Dish around 7/29/07. Is there a 1-yr commitment or can I cancel at anythime. I have a 622 and 625 but need to use an antenna in the Harrisburg, PA area to get the HDs. I am thinking of getting Direct because they offer HD is this area and Dish doesn't look like they plan to anytime soon...

Mechanicsburg, PA, USA I like it.

It's been awhile since I visited. I know DTV usually lists future expansion cities but I can't find that list. First question: Anyone have any idea when Harrisburg is going to get Locals in HD? Second question: I do have an antenna (from when I had Dish, now with Comcast). I want...

It looks like the twin. Two heads. But the receiver won't power on anymore and I don't believe the LNB is the reason for that. Pete

I have an 811 receiver and for several weeks, I kept getting the "we have detected a multiswitch error" message. DISH has been out 3 times. First time, tech switched ports and it cleared up the problem. That lasted about one week. Second time, tech (not the same as the first) ran the test...

That's what I was afraid of... Thanks, Pete

Am I obligated for the HD package too? I think that is what they told me but couldn't find it in writing anywhere. Thanks, Pete

I have had Dish for a couple of years but moved in Sept and took advantage of the "free" location/dish mover offer. I than upgraded on of the receivers to an 811 in November. Yes I rent them all. I was told that I have to commit to one year on the HD package and if that wasn't in effect...

Yeah, I saw that. Coming about a week or so late but welcomed anyway.

Thanks, guess I need to keep the antenna hooked up.

Ah, QAM stands for "quadrature amplitude modulation," the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable. What a wonderful thing an internet search can find. Now if the TV has the QAM, I would be able to probably get it. Of course, most descriptions that I...

Not to be a wise guy but 1)why 2)why I saw a post at another forum that basic stated it DCR tvs, the ones with ATSC/QAM tuners, can pick up HD cable signals. I pay 12 bucks a month for the minimum analog channels. All network HD channels are picked up by the QAM tuner! This is without a...

I am picking up the "basic" basic cable to get HS Internet. The cable will be split with HS Internet by itself and the other cable, I want to run through my DP34 using diplexers. I understand that the local HD signal is not encrypted yet and some folks who have TVs with ATSC tuners are...

I see that there is a "free HBO/Starz" movie weekend. At least, I think it is free because they are all white on my guide and I didn't upgrade. But why is the HD movies on the same packages not being allowed to be viewed. I have the 811 receiver and might consider a movie package, if I saw...

Very strange. "Propagated via Thermal Inversion"...never heard of that but that doesn't surprise me...LOL I did a rescan, it found all the channels. Two hours later, ABC and also FOX this time fell off. As I needed a large directional antenna, I have to assume that they were both on the...

Got the antenna up and running, but everytime I go for OTA signal, the local ABC is not there and I have to add the Digital Signal Again. Signal strength is in the high 80s. The CBS station is not too far from the ABC and I don't need to even turn the rotor. The CBS station is on the Dish 811...

When you add Digital channels, the local display is sometimes eliminated. Go to the Add Locals option in the set and use the Display option. Pick Dish Locals and check it, save and you should see the locals again. Pete

Finally got the antenna installed. It took them 11 hours because there was a bad rotor that needed to be exchanged. It wasn't zeroed out, 00/360 being North, so my chart didn't help immediately. Once I figured that I had to add about 130 to the chart's degrees, I got all signals in from...

I looked at that one but it was highly directional and mostly UHF (maybe some high VHF). I have two locals (channel 4 and 10) so I went with a CM3020. It is being installed tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

I have tried 4 different antennas with no luck. I picked up a CM3020, CM7777 preamp, and CM9521A rotor. Going for it all. It will be installed on Wednesday. World Series in HD but more importantly, the Eagles (close one yesterday....whew).
