Problem: Both of my Dish receivers (a 622 and a 722) have compatibility problems with the local OTA transmission from WHUT-DT (RF 33 in Washington DC DMA). These problems are well documented in various threads on this and other forums and are perfectly repeatable and consistent. The problems...

If I subscribe to the $6/mo Service Plan in order to get Dish to exchange a defective DVR, how long do I have to keep the Service Plan active on my account? 1 month? Is there a cancellation fee if I remove it?

I have chronic problems with the behavior of my 622 and 722 when displaying or playing back WHUT-DT (RF 33, PSIP 32). Does anyone else in the Wash DC area experience these OTA symptoms with that station?: Dish 622: Shows live WHUT-DT just fine. But when played back in DVR mode, the picture...

My 722 has been virtually flawless until about two weeks ago. Is the latest software upgrade to blame?? Of course, I done all the usual rebooting, check switches, etc. I have firmware L674. The most significant problem is that many recordings exhibit playback errors consisting of broken-up...

Has anyone been able to successfully control a 622 (or 722) via Slingbox - using an IR remote channel other than #1? The only Slingbox profile I found is only capable of using IR remote channel 1, and I really need to change the default channel on my 622 to something else (i.e. 2, 3, 4...

After 6 weeks of back-and-forth with DirecTV and a barely-cooperative local installer, my parents finally have HDTV, courtesy the new SL3 dish. Their very wooded location did not support seeing the 110 & 119, so this was their only option for reliable reception (although they did have a...

Hi - I'm here gathering info for my parents in Atlanta. They currently have the original single-LNB dish pointing at the 101 orbit and are considering upgrading to full HD capability. What multi-dish version (3 LNB, 5 LNB ??) will they need to receive all the latest HD channels, including...

I just got L511 on my 722, but can't figure out the supposed integration of my Ext Hard Drive recordings in the DVR display menu. I don't see the programs on the EHD unless I go through the usual menu-4-2-2 tree. p.s. I have a WD external drive, which powers itself down after x minutes of...

I know this question comes up frequently, but the answer changes frequently too :) So as of today, what should I expect to pay for adding a 722 receiver to my account? (I currently have one 622, and should be eligible for Dish'n It Up.) Are there any rebates in effect? I hear that the...

The subject pretty much says it all: Is there any way to get a free HD-DVR (with free installation, of course) for a new customer?

I currently lease a 622 receiver with all the qualifying programming, etc. If I want to lease another receiver (211), what additional monthly charges would I have? Just a lease fee, or a lease fee plus a 2nd receiver fee?

For everyone who has confirmed download of L3.60: What affect have you seen with regard to the speed of changing channels? More specifically, the time required for video to appear after you have selected a channel?

622 L3.60 software - Slow Channel Changing? (also see poll) For everyone who has confirmed download of L3.60: What effect have you noticed with regard to the speed of changing channels? More specifically, the time required for video to appear after you have selected a channel?

My parents have an H20, purchased last Christmas, that is acting up. The symptom is occasional (daily) freeze-up, followed by rebooting, and a complete resetting of their custom (Family) channel listings. Something is obviously wrong, and D* agrees. Though the unit is only 7 months old, and...

I don't think I have any more use for my (owned) model 811, and Dish has offered to take it back and credit me the grand sum of $25. Does the 811 have any value now on the used market? Is Dish still activating them?

I just got my 622 installed, and immediately don't like the way it handles NTSC output compared to my 811 (which was perfect). Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong! Here's what I want: Simultaneous HD (1080i) output to an HD set and SD (NTSC) output to a regular TV without any...

My dad's 101 dish has outlived its usefulness, and it's time to go with an AT-9. Unfortunately, his only possible line of sight location (due to trees) will require about a 125-150' distance from the receiver. The installation manual for the AT-9 says to limit the cable run to 100 ft. But...

I am about to replace my 811 with a 622, and want to know in advance how to "advise" the dish installer. Here's my current dish setup: Dish 500 Twin Legacy + Dish 300 single LNB (61.5), connected via an SW-21 outdoors. There is ONE RG-6 coax that comes into the house from the SW-21 to a...

This is a new one to me. I've had my 811 for a couple years, but this evening I noticed all my Favorites lists were wiped, gone! The only lists that remain are ALl Sub and All Chan. Any idea what went wrong? I hate to think of reseting all those channels!!!

I am thinking about going for the 622 deal, but my wiring setup will only permit use of one RG6 wire from roof to basement. I have no desire for an installer to run ugly surface wire all over my house! I understand that using a DPP44 switch will support the dual input/tuner function of the...

I have a relatively new 811 with software rev 2.84. I've noticed that for many programs, the component HD output is very dark with crushed blacks. I seem to remember this was a complaint way back, but thought that it was fixed for the current software revision. What should I be expecting?

I don't see this option onthe web page now, but Dish used to offer an annual pricing option for HBO. Instead of $13.99/mo, you got a 10% or so break. Does this still exist?

I'm an original (2000) model 6000 owner, and it's time to consider moving up. The 6000 is really showing its age. What are the available deals for getting an 811? As a current E* customer, am I eligible for the lease plan? (I can't justify buying one if the 811 is to become obselete soon)...

Sorry for asking if this has been covered (could not find via a search..new 360 owner here): I can't figure out how to directly enter the channel numbers for analog OTA stations. When I just enter a channel number "xx", the receiver tunes the satellite-feed local-in-local station (which I...
