Thanks, guys. The "Activate" info online appeared right after the UPS delivery confirmation went online. It seems strange that the 622 came by UPS, but the return label on the flipside is FedEx. Guess they're spreading the wealth. Following their instructions on the inclosed sheet, it took...

One of my 622s died and a replacement is on the way. Once its ready to go is there a way to activate it over the web, or do I have to chat, call, or DIRT?

Wow, that was fast! Thanks very much for the reply.

I'm based outside of Atlanta, but now out in our RV in the central time zone. All my guide times are still eastern time zone. Correct programming, just the current guide time is an hour late. I tried changing the zip code field in setup and running checkswitch to see if that had any effect, but...

I've had pixelation and a couple of complete dropouts tonight in the Atlanta spot beam. I wasn't watching any of the channels like CNN, etc. The report said it would be Monday before the bird was back in its old slot, so I guess it's up there wobbling around.

I have the same 800 number as you, but I also have a direct line to Colorado at 1-303-339-7313. Also you might try this link for AAD MyDistantNetworks. It may just go to the same place as the link that Bobby posted above, but it will keep your mind off TV while you try to contact them. Let...

Well it is with egg on my face and humble pie on my plate that I deliver my report. It has taken a few days of testing and another day or so dreading taking my ridicule from you guys. You (well, many of you) were right. I’ll just have to man up and admit it. I was duped by the Dish 'external...

I'll see what I can do with another screenshot when I'm home later. The drives are Fantom G-Force 2TB eSATA/USB, which doesn't sound like something the Pocket Dish would have had.

Zach, Are there any screenshots I could post that would be helpful? I don't know how to show what is happening any other way. Do you not have the choice of recording to Ext. when setting a timer, or is that option there and it just doesn't work? Mine is there and it works. On edit: I am...

Yes, it sounds strange to me too and I'm not sure I would believe it either. I have yet to hear from a 622 user that has tried to follow my instructions and failed. Everyone just says, "It can't be done." Tell me what screen shot(s) would convince you and I'll be glad to post them. I doubt that...

I didn't mention that I am running L635. I checked one of the machines tonight by recording a program I selected at random so as not to confuse it with the existing content of the EHD. It recorded and played perfectly. It did not show up in My Recordings on the internal drive. 622 users try...

When I read the above posts it occurred to me that I have been recording all these episodes of Law and Order but I've never watched any of them. I went to the EHD and there were 70 episodes of the show listed. I selected three at random and they played fine. So yes, it works. When I set a timer...

I don't really know what the "Pocket Dish" is, but I do know that my 622's are recording direct to my 2 GB drives as I type this. I have a timer set to record all episodes of Law and Order SVU for my wife and they go directly to the EHD's. USA must run a dozen a day. 60 episodes so far and...

I have 622's and the latest software release gives me the option to record directly to the external drive when I set up a timer. Don't know about whether it diverts to EHD when receiver is full.

I like the idea of being honest and upfront with Dish, but every time I do that I get burned. They have an RV only plan (I guess that includes boats and planes too) that is a pay-as-you-go-in-advance arrangement, whereby you can use service for only days at a time. You have to pay for a month...

Please, somebody set me straight if I'm reading Scott's post wrong. I now have Dish service to the tune of about $115/mo at home. I have a motorhome with an automatic 3-lnb dish and take my VIP622s with us when we are on the road. I had HD national networks through ADD until March when they...

And I thought I had problems....

Scott, I hate to look like a "Give me it and give me it NOW", but we RV'rs would really like some anouncement about national network feeds. This wasn't a big issue as long as ADD was providing HD, but now it really sucks having to watch SD on our multi-thousand dollar HD setups. If this issue...

If LA and NY locals are still available on conus, does that mean I can "drive" my RV to NY and change my service address to NY and receive the networks? If so, what would be your best guess about how long they might stay on conus? Have you heard the rumors that Dish could get back in the...

I am an RVer. Home is Atlanta or where I park. I have a $2000 investment in an auto sat dish for the motorhome which is Dish dependent (3 lnb's Dishpro) and can't be switched to another provider without a major changeout and many $$$. I own and use 3 622's in the motorhome. I get Atlanta locals...
