    No Predators @ Sharks available in the Bay Area?

    It was on 446. You should consult this page: Comcast SportsNet | CSN Plus No HD though.

    Experience upgrading from HDAbsolute to Silver

    If you can install the new receiver yourself instead of the installer then Dish can knock the price down to $25.

    HD Channel qulity on TV2?

    This is odd, my TV2 shows HD programs as letterboxed too and not full screen. Perhaps you are using the zoom feature of your TV2.

    Bay Area HD local Programming

    Are KRONHD programs (like Bay Area backroads, Henry's Garden and Check Please Bay Area) true HD or just widescreen?

    DirecTV HR20 & VIP622 Shootout from CNET

    Well ok, after more careful reading, I found that the cnet reviewer was trying to change aspect ratio on stretched programming from TNTHD (which stands for That's NoT HD). I have tried this with 622 and it did not work for me either, so maybe the reviewer is mistaken when he said that "Dish can...

    DirecTV HR20 & VIP622 Shootout from CNET

    Well, sort of. This is actually a review of HR20, but the reviewer did compare it to 622 quite often, and he likes 622 better but just by a nose. There are some cool features that HR20 has that 622 doesn't, like native pass through, mass delete of recordings, 2 ATSC tuners (still disabled)...

    Dish HD?

    Yes, the HDMI problem is well known. However, I urge you to call E* tech support (not CSR) and ask for a replacement 622/211, in my experience they will have no problem sending you a replacement. Some box's hdmi works while others don't, so it is definitely worth a try.

    NFL Replay is HD. Where is it D*?

    I saw Replay on NFLHD 2 nights ago on E* and it was in HD (I think it was Bills vs Pats), and damn good-looking, so I don't understand vedhead what you're saying. Cheerleaders Tryout and Cheerleaders Swimsuit Calendar, on the other hand, sadly are not in HD.

    Bay Area locals and FSN HD

    I've always wondered, if you can get EPG for an OTA station, does that mean that that station is part of Dish locals? I can see program guides for KRON 4.1 (but not 4.2 which is MyNetwork TV), PBS 9.*, 20, 44 etc.

    622 did not live up to my expectations

    Is your 622 set to output 1080i? By default it's 480i, and most installer will not change it for you.

    Received my 622 last week...HD channels are pretty weak

    Dude, set your 622 TV output to 1080i. Factory default setting is 480i which is NOT what you want for watching HD.

    622 DVR Limitations on Recording from OTA Antenna Stations

    garys is right, there is only 1 OTA tuner, so when you use it for recording you cannot switch to another OTA channel. Same for satellite channels, if both of your sat tuners are used for recording, you cannot switch to a 3rd sat channel. This is not an "unfortunate" feature, it is just the way...

    Will Voom ever be carried on DirecTV ?

    I would have to say that it is unfair to knock Voom offerings if you have not actually seen them. Hearsay that they are not good and hence you are sure that you won't like them is a flawed argument. Besides, if D* is going to have all that capacity by next year, why not carry Voom? Rave...

    Poll: Are you having HDMI problems with your 211/411/622

    Try one of the following, see which one will work for you: 1. On 622, go to Menu->System Setup->HDTV Setup, then change the output signal type (e.g. from 1080i to 720p), then cancel out of the confirmation dialog that pops up afterwards. See if HDMI output works after this. 2. Unplug totally...

    Universal Remote for 622

    I have a Harmony 520 and it has replaced all my remotes. It controls 622 without a problem. However, keep in mind that it will probablyt take you several iterations of programming the Harmony (an easy but not-too-quick process) to get all your buttons programmed the way you want to in an...

    622 HDMI Compatible with PureAV RazorVision?

    Just had a 622 installed (L.358) yesterday and I have a PureAV Razorvision in between the 622 and the TV HDMI. Occasionally if I turn on TV and 622 I will get snowflakes, and soft reboot won't fix it. To get HDMI port to work, I had to either hard reboot the 622 or unplug and then re-plug the...

    Upgraded 811 to 622 for $299

    My original installation date (for an upgrade to 622) was June 12th, but I called today to cancel the upgrade. The reason? The upgrade fee has been reduced to $199 from $299, starting today. So I think you should do the same and cancel it, then reschedule.

    Voom on Dish isn't Voom

    I have a 811 and a SuperDish. Can I just buy a SW21 from eBay and hook the coax from Voom and Dish through the SW21 to the 811 (indoor), get Voom activated and that's it? Or do I really need to pony up $100 for a technician to come out and do it?
