    Veria Won't Record (622)

    The title says it all. I have a 622 and have been trying to record a program on Veria (OK, OK, I know, why would I want to do that, let's just say I have my reasons). The entry shows up in my recorded programs, the recorded length is correct, but when I go to play it all I get is a black screen...

    622: Searching for satellite 119

    on EA! Last night just before 10 EDT my 622 had a fit. Clear skies it suddenly started searching for satellite: 119. Given, as I said, that I was on EA this was quite a shock. It then went to searching for 61.5, eventually started to download the guide, then started the whole process over...

    Letter about "Bundling"

    I just received my December bill and accompanying it was a letter telling me that, since I just bundled my Dish service with one of their phone or internet partners, I would be receiving a $5 discount on my Dish bill for the next X months. Also, the next bill I get would be for two months so...

    622 Timers Gone/6 Hour Recordings

    Perhaps this should be in the Running Bug Thread, don't know, but I see posts in the main thread about 622 anomalies so let's just say this looks like the work of aliens:...... just recently my 622 (L622) has started to drop timers and record shows it wasn't supposed to for, according to the...

    Downgrade and Commitment

    I have what I think is a very simple question. I don't know whether it belongs in Tech Discussions or here, but I've searched for "downgrade" in both places and came up empty. I currently have the "Gold" package (Classic Gold 250 w/locals +Gold HD) and have been out of commitment for a while...

    FX-HD Picture Question

    OK. Glad to get FX-HD. There won't be too much on it I'll watch but I'll try a few series I haven't looked at before. So I tuned into a rerun of Rescue Me last evening, 11PM EDT. The picture was pretty awful: grainy with a large amount of "color confetti". It was a lot like I noticed on...

    Downgrading and Contract Extension

    I realize the final arbiter of this type of question is Dish and of course I can/will call them, but I generally find I get better and more accurate information here than from the company itself. I am currently out-of-contract, am planning to possibly downgrade my service (severely) and am...

    Perpetural Browser Transfer?

    Is anyone else having issues with the SatGuys site taking an extremely long time to transfer data from google-analytics, etc.? I have no problem supporting the site, it's just that 90% of the time (actually 100%) I have to hit cancel. I also have problems via mobile when requesting threads...

    CNBC Problems-Am I the Only One Seeing It?

    I'm trying to watch the Dog Show on CNBC-HD and the picture keeps shifting horizontally, sort of like the top half doesn't align with the bottom. I noticed this peculiarity last night when I watched the preview show, although it wasn't in HD. Tonight it is in HD and it's go**amn annoying. This...

    Cancelling NHL CI

    I subscribed to CI last season but I don't want to renew. Of course (I understood this would happen) it was set to auto-renew (and a $159 charge was added to my online account) but I also received a letter that said I could have it removed if I called before Oct. 16th. Which I did (on...

    USA-HD Quality?

    Don't want to put every channel under a microscope but I've gotta tell ya', was watching Monk on USA-HD last night (8/8) and in spots it was one of the worst "HD" pictures I've seen. The noise in dark scenes was bad enough (I've seen that on other stations although not quite as bad) but there...

    Technical Advice Requested-118 sat

    This probably HAS been touched on in general somewhere in these forums but my situation is a bit different so I thought I'd create a separate thread. My neighbor and I both have DN. We live in connected townhomes sharing a common chimney on which we each have dishes mounted. I have a 110/119...

    NYC Locals Issues?

    Sorry if this is of no interest to those of you outside NY (didn't know where else to post) but for the last few days to a week or so I have had my NY locals (various channels) periodically freeze (sound continues but picture is frozen) and/or pixelate completely (almost completely gray...

    622 Playback Freeze

    Don't know whether to put this in the 4.49 thread or here, partly because I don't know for a fact whether my 622 has 4.49 or if it's connected at all, but... My 622 did the multiple reboot thingie overnight earlier in the week but settled down after a while. Two nights ago, watching a...

    Setanta Problems (i.e. Garbage)?

    I'm really glad Dish is carrying Setanta but over the last week I have had numerous issues with breakup, stuttering and blackouts. It happens through both my receivers (a 622 and 211). The latest was while watching (live) the Chelsea Champions' League match this week. While I suppose it COULD...

    61.5 Outage in NE (NY)

    OK, so I come home ready to watch "So You Think You Can Dance" (local FOX) and my 211 is "trying to acquire satellite signal". I look at my 622, same thing. But certain other channels are OK. It looks like I'm not getting anything out of the 61.5 satellite. It's one of two things: either my...

    NY Area FOX-:HD?

    Is anyone in NY having problems picking up Channel 5 (FOXHD)? All I've been getting since at least 10PM is a blank green screen on my Samsung DLP. It's the same on both my receivers. I am getting all the other channels. Thanks for any info. =NLK=

    A couple of 625/622 Questions

    I have an existing D* Phase III with four lines coming down into my home run. I have an SD TV and an HDTV. I am planning on calling D* to sign up and WILL talk to a CSR but given the hit-and-miss nature of THAT I thought I'd ask here first. I would like to have a 625 hooked to my SD TV and a...

    What will D* install for free?

    OK, I'm trying to investigate from all angles switching from D* to E*. I now have a D* Phase III dish with four separate lines running down to a home run in my garage. I have an HDTV, a ReplayTV and two STBs (one HD feeding the TV, one SD feeding the RTV) in one room and an SD TV, a second...

    NHL Blackout?

    I'm in the NYC Area and get MSG and FSNY, so that normally I will get all local teams' broadcasts (Devils, Islanders, Rangers). I was sitting in front of my TV (D*) watching the Islanders game on MSG and all of a sudden got the "Program not available in your area". Would anyone knowledgeable in...

    D* to Voom?

    I've looked in the Help Desk & Install forums but haven't seen quite this question addressed, so here goes... I currently have cable and D* (I'm in the NYC/LI area) and am toying with the idea of replacing D* with Voom, since D* seems to be dropping the ball, at least for now, with HD. I'm...
