    Call from Dish (or someone) regarding 015 error

    I'm currently in Afghanistan and today, while talking to my wife on the phone, she told me that Dish (or someone saying they were Dish) called the house and told her that they we had a 015 error and that a tech could come out and resolve the issue for us for free "if we act now." They said...

    Think VIP622 will ever be able to download net video?

    So, I've been looking at AppleTV. The main appeal it has - for me anyway - is the ability to easily get podcasts to your TV. Being able to DL missed TV episodes and watch them on my TV instead of waiting for the rerun is a nice feature as well. Now, the question is - Does dish have any plans...

    AV700 to AV700E via Firmware?

    First off, if y'all think this is hack talk, please just delete it without punishing me, I think it's a legitimate question... I have an AV700 and the AV700E firmware is freely available for download. Does anyone know if AV700E firmware can be loaded on an AV700 in turn, making it an AV700E...

    Add a receiver

    We have a VIP 622. We used to also have a 522, which we turned-in in March after realizing we never really used it... However, no we're going to have someone staying with us for over a year and want it back! Actually, any standard single tuner receiver will do. Will Dish lease us another...

    Source for a weatherproof enclosure

    I'm moving to the house nextdoor (long story, as detailed here...) and am taking my Dish install with me (500 and 300).

    VIP-622 + 4HD Streams = Stuttering

    Last night we were recording 3 HD (1 OTA Local + 2 SAT HD Locals) channels while watching a 4th (actually one of the 2 SAT HD that was being recorded, via the DVr, becuase it was being recorded on tuner 2). The results were not very good. There were a lot of audio and video hiccups. I wonder...

    Real DIY Dish Move?

    Guys, I have to move across town in about 6 weeks. All of my Dish stuff is leased. Would Dish have a cow if I moved it all myself, meaning, pullng th 500 and 300 off the roof of where I live now (and salvaging what RG6 I can) and moving it to my new location? The reason I ask is: 1. I know...

    replacement/Additional 622 UHF Remotes

    I need two additional UHF remotes for my 622. Anyone know if the 921/811 UHF PRO Remote remotes work? Do they have the A/B switch in the battery compartment like the 622 does? I know the 522 remote does not have the switch.

    Deactivation Question..

    OK, I've had my 622 for almost a week now and have it set up to send TV1 to my HDTV and TV2 to the other three sets in the house. I also have a 522 setup to go to the other three sets as well. Well, given that I can view the 622's TV2 from every set in the house, that my kids are 18months and...

    622 - how many recordings/viewings at once

    I thought I read this before, but now I can't find it. How many things can a 622 with an OTA antenna tune it at once? Can it record/view a combination of 2 SD Sat Channels, 1 HD sat Channel, and 1 HD OTA Channel, totaling 4 channels at once, or... Can it record/view a combination of 2...

    ViP 622 & 722 Running Bug Thread

    OK, I've seen 622 bugs mentioned in several posts. Perhaps it's time to post bugs and only bugs in a single consolidated thread. If one of the mods thinks this is a good idea, maybe change the title to "Official 622 Bug Thread" or something like that and make a sticky? Please, to keep the...

    Your 622... Shipped or with Installer?

    OK, to only those folks who already have their 622 - a leased one, not one you bought yourself: Did they ship your 622 prior to install? or Did the installer bring it with them? If you haven't got your 622 yet, don't answer - once you do, select its arrival method. Judgning by...

    Last night while watching one of my local channels, a scrolling message from Dish Network came accross the bottom of the screen. It said something to the effect of: Dish Network's agreement with the station you are currently viewing expires on May 31. Dish networking is currently negotiating...
