    Hopper Upgrades

    Sorry for the double post. I put this in the Joey thread and perhaps it belongs here. I'd appreciate being contacted to upgrade from a 722K to a HSW and a Super Joey, and from dual Dish 500s to a 1000.2 WA. Simple install - all necessary cables are in place to receiver locations. Currently out...

    *Updated* Super Joey Upgrades

    I'd appreciate being contacted to upgrade from a 722K to a HSW and a Super Joey, and from dual Dish 500s to a 1000.2 WA. Simple install - all necessary cables are in place to receiver locations. Currently out of contract and looking to upgrade or change providers. Thanks! Doug

    722K OTA Signal Strength Differences

    I've noticed on my 722K there is usually a small difference (2 - 3 points) between the two OTA tuners on the same channel (bring up PIP and tune to the same OTA channel in each window, then SWAP to get signal strength) perhaps due to the splitting of the OTA signal inside the tuner module. I've...

    722 Timers to 722K?

    I just did the same thing and could not get it to work with the 722. Works fine with the 722K after all the timers have been re-entered by hand...

    Transfer timers from 622 to 722k?

    What steps do you use to get the timers from the 722 to the remote? I'm looking at doing the same thing (722 -> 722k) but the K is not here yet. Thanks, Doug

    New HD TV & Dish Network HD Upgrade

    One other thought - are you using the TV or the Dish receiver to stretch the SD channels so they fill your whole screen? If you are, that adds (at 73") quite a bit of additional softness to your already soft picture. If you are stretching, try setting your TV to STANDARD and your Dish receiver...

    New HD TV & Dish Network HD Upgrade

    Is "blurry and distorted" a relative measure compared to the HD, or is it really blurry and distorted in an absolute way? SD will typically look softer than HD, especially on a large display. I have a 73" Mits DLP like you do, and use a Vip722 receiver. The SD doesn't look as good as HD, but...

    622 to 722 How

    Yeah - you should be able to use Dishin' it Up (DIU) to upgrade. I did the same thing (622 -> 722) and after rebates it was about $100. If you have an account on the Dish web site, I think you can see your DIU status. Cheers, Doug

    Lost Locks Help

    Hey Scott - I was having a real boatload of trouble with my 622 in terms of losing Sat reception on 110 (which is where our HD locals are, right?). I narrowed it down to a Sat Tuner 1 problem (2 was OK) but it was turning into a disruptive situation and Dish wasn't much help. Decided to...

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    That is what I used to get under 366. Now under 401 it averages about 14 seconds, sometimes longer.

    Constant sound drop on NGHD on 622 Recording, anyone else?

    How recently Sean? I've recorded a lot of NGHD and do not remember any audio drops. Doug

    622 SD pic quality vs 811 SD quality

    Perhaps that's a large part of the quality issue. Can't expect the best quality using the (almost) worst inputs...

    Anyone with a 622 seeing random short skips?

    And I thought it was just me... :) I reverted to using the DISH version of channel 3 HD and it almost (but not totally) eliminated the skips. Scott - u da man! Doug in Auburn
