I was also thinking of upgrading from a 622 to a 722/722K. I was told that all I had to do was pay $15 shipping. No tech visit is required. Not sure if I'll do it yet or not since it does require a new 2 year commitment. I was also told the 722 is preferable to the 722K since it includes the...

Wow - I never looked at cable for high speed internet since I have Dish, but DSL is definitely limited compared to cable. I just checked out Optimum which is what is available in my area. Will need to check this out more closely.

Wow Scott - how are you getting those speeds? I am in CT also and have AT&T DSL Elite (top level) and I only get 5.13 download and 0.67 upload.

I have another Dish install horror story. About a year ago I wanted a 61.5 dish installed so that I could get the Voom channels. That's all they were going to do. He got here around noon and started to mount the dish on my roof. He never even thought about pointing it. He aimed it the same...

Scott - any idea when we will get HD locals in CT? I am using OTA also but I can't get Fox consistently. Also I want the ability to record two networks at once. I too would prefer local HD over any other HD channel. I would have gone back to cable over this issue if it wasn't for the fact...

I also got the total audio dropout last night. I am using the optical cable. Nothing but a reboot would fix it. Prior to last night, I was also having random reboots where I would totally lose audio and video. A technician is supposed to come look at my setup this weekend. Tech support...

What does guide data look like for OTA locals you can pull in that are not part of your DMA? I know I will receive guide data for the locals that will match but what about any others that the antenna can receive?

I had the same problem. The installer hooked up the 622 yesterday. After he left, I did a scan for the OTA channels and got nothing. Turns out he hooked up the OTA antenna to the RF out. After I switched it, it worked fine. I did have a couple other problems during the day though with the...

I am in CT and have a Dish 500 and another Dish 500 pointed at 61.5. Is it worth it when they come do my install for the 622 to upgrade to the Dish 1000. Currently I have a 942, 811 and 501 which use 4 outputs. Is getting a DPP LNB a good move or is it better to keep the two dishes since all...

Scott, I'm sure you are just as interested as I am. So any word on Hartford, CT locals in HD?

Yes I would call back although you may want to wait a couple days since your instal is not schedued til July. This deal will be made available to the public then. Right now the CSRs don't know anything about it and will give you a hard time. I had an install scheduled for this weekend and...

I finally got the deal last night too after days of everyone at Dish denying it existed. The criteria will all be a moot point anyway. The guy I spoke to also said it will be made available to the general public in a couple days. If the new channels are released today like I read, they...

After about 10 frustrating phone calls of trying to get through to the right department and countless unanswered emails, I just cancelled my 622 upgrade that was scheduled for this weekend. I refuse to pay $299 for an upgrade that other people are being offered for $199. I have been a Dish...

I tried that last night. I emailed them twice and then spoke to them on the phone. They are claiming that this offer is not through Dish Network and they don't know anything about it. They say it must be through a third party and they have no control over it. I don't know what to believe. I...

Same here. I've called twice including a number posted here and they act totally clueless and say there is no such promotion. I have already paid the $299 with a scheduled install date of this Saturday. And I am inclined to cancel unless they can match this deal. Especially since there is no...

I didn't see this posted so I'll add it. I'm assuming the 622 doesn't have this since the 942 doesn't. I want 5.1 audio out of the HDMI port. Since the HDMI port is capable of carrying the video and the audio signal, it should carry the full 5.1 signal so that we don't have to hook up the...

I don't understand why then they provide CBS-HD but think they can't provide the others. What is the difference? They have been providing CBS-HD for any subscriber who had the SD version for years. I would think the same rules would apply to ABC, NBC and FOX.

What I find very confusing and irritating is that Dish has two sets of rules for the HD distants. They will provide you CBS-HD but will not provide ABC, NBC or FOX. They have stated this so it is obviously a Dish rule and has nothing to do with the FCC. I have waivers for both NBC and FOX but...

I'm in CT and would love to go to FIOS if the SBC Project Lightspeed comes to my area. I am so sick of the constant price increases with Dish and the high cost of equipment. I have been with Dish since the beginning and am really looking forward to an alternative. Cable has not been an option...

To me, digital and HD are the same. I am referring to the channels CBS-DT and ABC-DT, not the analog signals that they just convert to digital similar to what satellite does. So all CT gets is crappy compressed analog local channels. Cablevision in the upper part of CT is not the same as...

Do they waive the DVR fees though if you pay the Top 180 and the mega movie package on an annual basis? I have asked about a way to prepay annually to waive the fees but they say that you can't. Perhaps I didn't ask the right questions.

It is Cablevisions fault though if they don't even carry the channels. I am in CT in Litchfield county where Cablevision is the cable company. They just called me again last night to try and sell me cable. I keep explaining to them that I would love to go back to cable if only they had the...

If all you have is the Top 180, you should be paying the DVR fee. The question raised here was if you also subscribe to all the movie channels on an annual basis, would the fee be waived? That should be similar to the AEP but I don't know if they offer all 4 movie channels on an annual basis...

If you pay annually, you get one month free. So this can be a cheaper option than the AEP which is only available monthly.

I keep asking this question about the new HD packs on whether or not there will be annual pricing. Paying annually is cheaper than the AEP pack which is only available monthly. Are DVR fees waived if you get all 4 movie packages annually. Currently I have the Top180 and also HBO/Showtime on...
