    Audio out of sync on 622 for FOX-HD?

    We have two 622s. We frequently observe sound problems ranging from out-of-sync, to popping/fluttering to total loss of audio. Frequently this happens on Fox HD, however last night we also observed it on ABC HD during dancing with the stars. My wife got rather upset about this. Both 622s...

    KUSA Denver HD picture issue

    Recently I've noticed that sometimes the picture displayed on my TV for channel 6332 (local KUSA Denver HD channel) has what appears to be about 5+ rows of black lines with flashing white segments across the top of the displayed image. This phenomenon isn't constant. It's hard to tell, but...

    Dish HD Locals---Any cities have them yet?

    Unlike SF/San Jose, there are virtually no OTA digital broadcasts in the Denver metro area (except for very low power transmissions in the downtown area). The City of Golden has blocked the construction of the required antennaes for years and litigation is still ongoing (see...

    OLN status

    I am also a cycling fan. I recently inquired about alternate Tour de France coverage on Dish Network. David Laslo had this to say: "Thank you for your email. We are actively negotiating with Comcast so we hope to provide OLN to you for the Tour de France. Since OLN is the only network to...

    More than 1 HD receiver Upgrade

    Back in March, I did the $299 upgrade to swap a leased 522 with a Vip622. I kept my owned 942. Today I called and found out I was eligible for the $99 upgrade to swap my owned 942 with a 2nd Vip622. So I went ahead and did it. What's another 2 weeks on an existing 18 month service...

    Classic Dish Service

    Three weeks ago on March 2nd, I called and requested to upgrade a leased 522 DVR to a 622 DVR. An install was scheduled for March 17th. On the evening of March 6th, someone called and said there was a problem with the order (something about my credit card not being billed) and the install was...

    622 HDMI Sync Issue

    Can you get the 'resync' if you turn off the TV and then turn it back on? When I first got my 942 I had the same issue. I had to change the HDTV setup on the 942 (or reset the 942) to get the 'resync' to occur. Once synced, if I turned off the TV and turned it back on I would loose sync...

    Dish Brings Local HD to Denver

    Yesterday I emailed Mark Cornetta (KUSA General Manager) and asked why the delay getting KUSA on satellite in HD. This was his response: "I can not comment or discuss this matter with you but we are hopeful to have our deal with Dish Network signed shortly." I wonder what's going on...

    Can leased 522 be upgraded to 622?

    I looked through this forum a bit and didn't see anything that addresses this specific scenario... I am a long-time HD sub. I have a 942 and subscribe to America's Everything Value Pkg and the old HD pkg. I also have a leased 522. Does anyone know if Dish will allow me to turn-in the leased...

    When Will Dish Give Us Network Hdtv??

    Well said Waltinvt, I live near Denver which also has the problem that there are no high power Digital HD transmissions in this area. There has been a 10yr long effort to bring HD broadcast to the Denver metro area but the effort has been blocked in the courts (see hdtvcolorado web site )...

    942 hdmi issues?

    After experimenting with the 942 HD format, I've learned that when I configure the 942 HD setup to output 480i or 480p, the hdmi problem goes away. If I configure it to output either 720p or 1080i, I get the dropped video. I have a panasonic service appt this week. If I learn anything new...

    942 hdmi issues?

    Replacing the cable was the first thing I tried. New hdmi<->hdmi cable didn't make any difference (except perhaps reducing some noise). Does anyone know if signal generation/test equipment exists that can test a TV's hdmi input?

    942 hdmi issues?

    I recently purchased a panasonic TH-50PX50U (plasma w/HDMI input) and upgraded my old 6000 receiver to a Dishplayer 942 (it was between the 921 and 942 but I picked the 942 due to its HDMI output). The problem I'm having is that when using the HDMI connection, the audio and video...
