I think we get around eleven channels not including PPV. Interestingly the guide shows each on three different channels. It seems like the 5xxx ones are more resistant to dropouts. On a clear day I can get a station on on all three channels. Ex: ESPN is on 140, 5505 and 9424.

I wouldn't think you will get the same number as SFO due to satellite limitations. To get HD on the Big Island you need to have an additional 1.2 meter dish aimed at 110. That satellite is pretty low on the horizon and in our case we get loss of signal if a cloud goes by. Some of the HD (local...

First one worked well for over a year. Replacement was good for around a week. Another replacement is en route. Same issues: Makes noise, power light goes on and off, no output. I have started researching "D" service for Hawaii. this is ridiculous..

Same here. My 622 had been working flawlessly for around a year. Then, a month or so ago it started doing the same thing. Lots of fan noise, flashing TV1 light. Tried rebooting via plug, plugged straight into wall outlet, etc. Dead as a doornail. Dish sent me a replacement and charged a $25...

Was your issue resolved? If so, what did they suggest? Thanks

How might I program the addresses so that I can use two UHF remotes for a single 622? The setup procedure using the "record" button in "system info" changes to that particular remote.

My 622 had been rebooting itself periodically for a month or so and sometimes would not awaken from its own reboot. I would then unplug it for a few minutes and it would be fine for a while. Yesterday, it just died altogether. It sits there and makes noise but no pix, sound or menus. Is...

Thanks. will give them a call.

Yes. It's clear all the way around. It's not fan noise. It is head seeking noise from the HD.

I understand the spin part. But this sucker is seeking ;-)

The hard drive seems to run all the time. The unit is in our bedroom and the noise is disturbing. Clack, clack, click. Every now and then it will quit for a few days then start up again. Is it trying to defrag itself? There is no recording going on. No timers active. We are not using...

Anyone know which satellite/transponder 231 is on? Thanks

Dish, cable, switch and antenna for the 110 satellite are all in place. Currently using a 522 DVR as main receiver.

Dish designates Microcom as their installer here on the Big Island. Microcom has scheduled appointments twice and cancelled them each time the day before. The order was placed Feb. 13. First it was because the installer couldn't make it and the latest was due to not receiving the equipment...

The SD looks fairly good on our old Pioneer 58" (ModelSD-582HD5) tube projection monitor with the 522. When we had "C" band high definition it would knock your socks off. Of course we used the "S" input for SD and the component for HD from an HD decoder box. My concern was that since all...

Encouraging so far. ;-)

Ignore subj, typo.. Won't get our new 622 till 2/21 but have read in a review that the SD quality was not up to the level of the SD receivers. We have a 522 and the quality is pretty nice. Since most of our viewing will be in SD, I was wondering what current users feel about the SD out of...

Thanks Jim, What I found out was that you have to contact your original installer. Did that. Will be installed next Wednesday. Thanks again. Bill

Just got a 1 meter dish installed to get 110 and interested in the offer with a 622. Spoke to a CSR who said: "contact a local retailer". The retailer who installed the dish said to call Dish direct. It's a weekend, so unable to call the local guy. Anyone have an idea why the Dish folks put...

Will give it a shot. Thanks.

36 or 38 inch.

Peak on spot beam?? Just had a dish for 110 installed, primarily for RFDTV. Installer peaked dish on home xponder. Signal for RFD is weak and is lost during a sprinkle of rain. Would it be better to peak on the RFD transponder (19) instead?? Located in Hawaii. Thanks

Thanks guys. The installer said I would need the large dish. This would be an additional antenna. The issues I had with C-band were: 1. The ever increasing prices due to declining subscriber base. 2. Losing channels. For example, CNBC was dropped off of the satellite that we could...

C-Band customer has finally capitulated. I've been a Dish Network customer for a couple of weeks now. I have the 120 package with the 522 and 322 receivers. I wanted the HD but It will take another antenna and, of course, an HD receiver to accomplish. Some comments Picture quality...
