    RIP 622

    They are actually shipping mine to me, like they have when I have had the older 522 replaced a few times. I bet I do get a remaned 622 back though. I have to say, my 622, recording 3 things (2 sat, 1 OTA) and watching 2 other different recordings at the same time, never missed a beat. It just...

    RIP 622

    No, I sure didn't. It should have been fine though. It sits on top of my entertainment center and has full air all around it. I had it in the cabinet when I first got it and it made it like and oven in there so I took it out.

    RIP 622

    I just got off the phone with Dish and they are sending me a new 622. I have had it for 2+ years, and never had any issues with it, until yesterday. I got home from work and turned it on, only to see that the screen was locked up. I did a power button reset, and it took longer than usual to...

    1 dish, 2 cabins, possible?

    I would just buy another dish, since they are less than $50 in most cases and put one on each building, so you don't have to worry about cables. Course, you can buy direct burial cable to use too, so that might be better. I take a receiver with me to our lake house 2 hours away and have...

    Visionsat IV-200 Model Blowout - Satellite AV

    Does anyone have a link for FTA channels that are available? I would like to jump onboard too if there is a good selection.

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    I have L512, so I guess I dont have it yet.

    How Dish's 1080p is going to work...

    I apparently got the update last night on my 622. I turned TV on and the picture was horrible. The convergence was way out of wack. Never had this problem before, so I am wondering if the output has changed in some shape or form... Very bizarre...

    HD Only Pack Question

    Actually, this is different. I am asking about my 311 receivers and if they will get the SD channels (or any channels at all) with the HD only pack. I'm not asking if channels are missing from the HD pack in SD.

    CSN Chicago says Dish has HD capacity issues

    I just love watching a bunch of out of shape over paid cry babies playing in HD. Why waster the bandwidth? :p Sorry, couldn't help it. Since the last strike, I have not watched a single game.

    HD Only Pack Question

    If I was to subscribe to the HD only pack, and I have a 622 and two 311's, will I still get the SD versions of the HD channels on my 311's? I can't find anything about that at all... Thanks!

    xp antivirus malware. How do I get rid of it?

    I run clamwin antivirus... Its free and it picks up stuff that the pay ones usually miss. Also try Spybot search and destroy and smitfraud like mentioned above...

    Uplink Activity Report - 6/11/2008 12:52pm - 85 changes

    Not sure if it would effect me since we do not have a local CW station. I see all the programs now, so I don't know why the HD versions would be any different since I have the superstation package.

    Uplink Activity Report - 6/11/2008 12:52pm - 85 changes

    If they would just get one of the REAL superstations in HD (a CW station), that would be something worth talking about. ;)

    Uplink Activity Report - 6/11/2008 12:52pm - 85 changes

    Isn't WGN America just a re-run station? I never see anything on there, like Smallville or any of the CW shows. To me, looking at the schedule, all we will see on there is strech-o-vision shows. Yippee.... :rolleyes:

    All 110 Spot Beams Out?

    We had those issues Wednesday night (local outages), and then Thursday morning, we had the you have no subscription message on all SD channels. As many problems as I have been having lately and with no Speed HD yet, I am about to make the jump, or just get rid of all satellite for good, since...

    VOOM Goes BOOM - update Dish Drops all 15 VOOM Channels

    I think the issue is MPEG2 vs MPEG4... You have a lot less data to reconstruct the picture with, and with HD, there is a lot more data needed to fill all the pixels. MPEG4 saves a ton of bandwidth, but you will have to live with the loss too. I think fast-motion HD is always going to have...

    Voom..Are you still happy it's gone?

    I miss the Soundstage shows. I had a bunch set to record too, but not now I guess. Other than that, I really never watched Voom anyway. As a matter of fact, I am about to just get rid of satellite all together, as I find myself watching locals more than anything else it seems. I got E* so I...

    HD Channels Showing up as "Subscriber Only"

    I had just the opposite this morning... All the SD channels had that message, but the HD channels were fine. We had to call though, and they sent an authorization number to fix it... Weird. Last night it was acting weird too. It kept searching for satellite signal on all the locals, but all...

    Will OTA chanels work in guide/DVR?

    Just call and upgrade to the HD package. They will send an installer, take out the 522 and install a 722. It should cost $50 or so (after rebates maybe). No reason to cancel and re-order, cause it will probably cost more that way.

    Hope for SPEED HD freaks

    Yes, I have those in HD, just not Fox or ABC, since our locals are still in SD, except CBS and PBS.

    Hope for SPEED HD freaks

    Yes, OTA is the only way I can get any of the locals in HD. All I have on dish are the SD versions. Not sure who the "in the booth" guys will be... Seems like every year it is different.

    Hope for SPEED HD freaks

    Just FOX, TNT, ESPN and ABC are the carries for Cup races this year... No NBC anymore. Of course SPEED has some coverages and races too...3 out of 5 are non-HD for me... :( I am hoping maybe my ABC affiliate will be HD by the time they cover the races, but I won't hold my breath...

    Hope for SPEED HD freaks

    Ok, nevermind, no race on FX this year... Sucks for me though, since I have no Fox HD or ABC HD... Damn cheap market in my area.

    Hope for SPEED HD freaks

    Just wait till they make the switch from Fox to FX for some of the regular races... Those won't be in HD either. :mad: Course, I won't get Fox in HD until our affiliate makes the switch next February....

    VIP 222 and 221 Questions

    Guys, I am thinking of getting a couple of 221 or even a 222 receiver... The problem is, these are for the lake house, and I don't have a phone line there. Currently, my 311 recievers work fine there, but I wondered if these HAVE to be plugged in like my 622 at my daily house does... If I...
