    L4.03 on 622

    I got the update the other day. Really like the changes. But I was using the PIP today and then all of sudden it stopped working I couldn't get it to come up and I could swap to the other tuner. Don't seem to be able to get anything on the 2nd tuner now. I cleared the switch matrix as...

    Two 622 on lease

    I waited to post this until the the receivers were actually installed because I didn't want to jinx things and I figured someone at Dish would put the kabash on my order. Maybe things have changed but I've read several times that you can't get two leased 622's, but I did. Recently I called to...

    508 Timer Problems started Friday

    We had some trouble with a 510 for a couple days with timers being missed. Wife was having a fit as it missed her shows. (I record all my shows on the 942 no problem there). I finally just unplugged the power and then plugged it back in. It's worked like a charm since then.

    ESPN Gameplan UT vs NU Cut Short

    I was watching my recording of the ESPN Gameplan broadcast of UT vs NU and it stopped in the middle of the 4th Quarter. Did anyone else experience this. Trying to figure out if it was ESPN Gameplan that cutoff or my DVR. Anyone experience this problem.

    The HD-lite war is over

    I was hopeful that the masses would see HD and expect that as the standard, but alas true HD is now gone and most may never know what they are missing. I went to visit my brother who had invested in an HD TV and had gotten a HD cable box and was very happy with his great picture. I proceeded...

    510 - Recordings Load Very Slow on P309

    Ever since the P309 software update was loaded with the VOD option my wife has been complaining about how slow it is. Not only does she have am additional step to get to the recordings after hitting the DVR button, it just takes forever for the Recordings to load. It really is ridiculous...

    Dish 1000 signal strength?

    I'm in Portland, OR. I have a Dish 300 pointed at 129. Seemed to be ok at first, but lately I've been getting a lot of pixelation from that bird. I was going to upgrade to a 622 and they said they would upgrade me to a 1000, but sounds like maybe I shouldn't let them do that. I also have...

    Who is the real James Bond?

    Sean Connery is the only James Bond. When you grow up watching Connery as James Bond in the original Bond movies, like I did, it's really hard accepting someone else as Bond. Haven't been able to really enjoy a Bond movie since he retired from the series.

    Remote Broke & Front Panel Locked - Help

    Well my 510 remote is stuck on VCR mode and can't get to Sat Mode and my front panel buttons are locked so I can't use those keys. I do have a One for All 9910 programmable remote that works fine with my 942, but unfortunately none of the codes I've tried seem to work on the 510. Any...

    Free Upgrade to a 622?

    I just got the call, and it sounded like a good deal with no upfront cost to me. However my monthly cost would go up $10 per month. So I asked what am I getting for the additional $10 per month. She started off by saying I'd get my HD locals. I told her I already was receiving my hd locals...

    1920x1080 vs 1366x768 - HD vs HD-Lite

    I have an Infocus projector with native resolution of 854x480 so all HD material goes thru some form of manipulation to be displayed. I can easily see a big difference between my OTA HD Channels, Discovery HD, or HDNET Movies and the Voom channels. Voom is just soft and fuzzy and lacking...

    1/9 Charlie Chat Recap

    But I have been wondering if Dish will actually charge us multiple installation fees. The $49 fee on an upgrade from 811 to 211 is for Professional Installation and the Lease Upgrade is actually free. Also the $99 fee (after rebate) for the 942 to 622 upgrade includes Professional...

    Dish messing with Voom, All are now HD-Lite 1280x1080i: Discuss this issue HERE!

    This is all very depressing. I recently sent my email to the ceo and was granted the privilege of leasing a 942 for $250. Shortly after Dish dowrezzed the voom channels. But in response to my emails to the ceo I was reassured that the problem was being worked and I'd be happy with the...

    President Of Dish Spoke The Truth

    Absolutely, that is my big fear. Most folks have never really seen true 1920x1080 HD, If they had SD and then upgraded to HD Lite, they'd think it was the greatest thing since canned beer. They wouldn't know what they were missing. I visited my brother in Utah over the holidays and he had...

    Dish 942 Lease

    I just got my 942 last week and the OTA reception is a vast improvement over my 6000. I would have intermittent drop outs with the 6000, but since I got the 942 reception has been solid as a rock. Good Luck.

    942 Install - new LNB's

    942 Install - new LNB's? Had my new 942 installed on Wed and it died on Thursday. Apparently the hard drive is bad, and they're shipping me another. But that isn't why I'm posting. When they installed the 942 I had them move my 300 from 148 to 129 to pick up the voom channels. They...

    Should I be able to get Voom on 129?

    Success, well sort of. I first remounted my mast so that it was level and then I could properly set the elevation and then I was able to find 129. Ran a switch test and bingo I have the voom channels in the guide. Then called Dish to activate and of course that was the hardest part...

    Should I be able to get Voom on 129?

    I have a Dish 500 (2 LNBs) pointed at 110 and 119, and a dish 300 pointed at 148. The Dish 500 and 300 go thru a SW21 to my 6000 receiver. I tried pointing the 300 over to 129, but can't seem to locate 129. Doesn't help that the nimwits that installed the dish with the mast crooked so the...
