    Signal loss means error message while viewing a previously recorded show (722)

    We're having some bad weather here in the Seattle area and I have noticed something that is really irritating. If I am watching a previously recorded show and the sat signal is lost during viewing, my 722 interrupts the show to tell me. I have to escape from the signal loss message, get back...

    Seattle KCPQ Fox HD audio problems--update

    I know I am not the only one seeing some audio problems on this channel. I complained to dishquality@echostar.com, and they asked me some followup questions... Today I got this update. Thank you for your email! We think the cause is software related. The fix may be coming in the form of a...

    Anyone having audio problems on KCPQ FOX Seattle?

    I am noticing frequent audio droputs on my Fox station. I don't think it is my equipment, because the dropouts happen during commercials and during programming just before they cut to commercial. It's very consistent that way. I have also noticed the audio drops during SD programs. For...

    Check out this 722 bug

    I saw text overlaid on a recording I was watching tonight. I wish I could recall exactly what I did to cause this. I think it just popped up when I hit the 30 sec skip. Calling up any other display erased the corrupted area that it overlapped so I hit Guide/Exit to get rid of all of it...

    722 timers problem: corrupt shows, other stuff

    A couple of times my 722 has recorded an hour show, but been unable to play it. The most recent example was tonight's 4400 on USA (#105). The 6 PM showing showed up as a one hour recording, but was unplayable. It showed a few seconds and then stopped. Is there any workaround for this? The...

    HD versions of DISC, TLC, etc same as SD?

    Got my 722, pretty happy so far, but I'm trying to figure something out. The channels that have HD/SD versions next to each other in the guide include ANIML (184), TLC (183), DISC (182), etc. They seem to have the same programming. They also seem to be duplicated in the 9000's. Am I...

    New install plan: please check my DishMath

    Actually I am canceling and using a renter to set up a new, more advantageous account for the household. This is the plan, please LMK if I am overlooking any fees. Much obliged... I am going to use the DishStore special, I guess, where they waive activation fees. I'll do the 18 month contract...

    What does "standard professional installation for 4 tvs" include?

    I'm considering upgrading to a HD receiver... now that I have a renter I can use as a new customer! (I would complain here about how a 10 year trouble-free customer should get better treatment but we've heard it all before.) I would only have a TV in 2 rooms. If Dish offers to install up to 4...

    Anyone use a ReplayTV with the 622?

    I am thinking about the 622 upgrade, but I use a ReplayTV to timeshift SD programming. Since the 622 is multi-tuner I am not sure if you can successfully control it with an IR blaster--what tuner gets focus? (Heck, I am not even sure if it has an IR remote... that's something else I need since I...

    942 q's from prospective owner

    I am considering adding a Dish 942 to my system, but I have some questions for current owners. Many thanks in advance for any enlightenment! - Assuming I can even get a 942 for the $250 lease deal, what are the other fees? $250 up front just for the privilege of leasing it, plus a monthly...

    guide download interrupts viewing

    Sometimes my model 300 box will switch to a "downloading guide data" screen while I am watching tv. It's really annoying, especially since I record everything on my ReplayTV... since it's time shifted, I don't have the option to cancel the download. It ends up taking a minute or two right out of...

    Considering 811 upgrade: quick question

    I have been with Dish for a loooong time. I have a SD Dish box w/ Dish 500, and I use a ReplayTV for timeshifting. I also have a 36" HD-capable TV so I am interested in getting HD programming... Does the 811 integrate the OTA HD signals into the main program guide? I still want the ability to...
