Do the 722's not suffer the same issues as all these recent 622's are having? Since I'll be on my 4th refurbished 622 in two weeks I'm wondering if I should insist that I be upgraded to a 722 - or are the 722's just as bad?

My 3rd refurbished replacement 622 just died on me this morning... same "continuous reboot hell" symptoms as described in this thread. I called Dish for a 4th replacement but they are sending a tech out instead who will have a 622 on the truck. Has there been any more news as to the cause of...

I finally got my folks to buy a nice new Sony HD 52" LCD and I need to sign them up with Dish. Should I do it today/tomorrow or wait till February starts (I know there are some changes coming)? I want to hook them up with America's Top 200 plus of course the HD Pack (they want all the HD...

Ok found it, greater than +/-5 = replace LNB... I just called Dish and they're coming out free of charge. I wonder how I'm still getting a signal with 61.5 at -11!!! Thanks Smith.

I looked up a few threads and it makes more sense now but I still don't know how to interpret the numbers I got: 0x0d, 0xa1, 61.5 (e-11.04) (o 0.00)

I have L4.05... Since I installed the 622 the day before yesterday I'm not sure if I ever haf L4.09. Strange that I'm having the problem with L4.05 when the rollback solved that same problem for others.

I was playing with my new 622 the other night and got to the diagnostics menu. I ran a test and everything popped up "ok" but there was a message saying "check notes", I did and got a "LNB drift" message... Sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what this is, can somebody please explain it to...

I'm sure this has already been answered but I couldn't find it... I've had my 622 for just a few days, it replaced my 942. I like my new HD channels I'm now getting with MPEG4 but my big complaint is the quality of the DVR playback... it pixelates and distorts about every 2 minutes. My 942 was...

Stinkin Brewers... ;)

I'm on a shared plan already with Sprint and I don't need to upgrade my phone... I'm afraid that if i call they won't swap me over to the Sero rate plan since it seems its individual only - not to mention only for new plans. Maybe this offer will still be around in October when my contract is...

Yeah but I don't know where on the website to upgrade my plan using the employee referral program...

Wow, I'm already a Sprint customer or else I would be all over this... I wish there was some way to switch from my existing plan!!!

Thanks Gary. I'm going to call Dish back to verify... I do already have SD locals so hopefully they upgraded me to the AEP with locals. Are you also saying that HD locals are part of getting locals in general - nothing further is required to get them in HD?

I'm getting the 622 but I currently own my 942. I think getting $10 for it from Dish is kind of lame and the CSR told me I'm not required to send it in. The other receiver in my house is a 322 so I'd like to put my 942 in its place thus giving me a second DVR when the 622 comes in on Saturday...

I'm getting the 622 to replace the 942 that I own. While on the phone with the CSR I also upgraded my AT200 with HD Pak to the Everything Pak and the new HD Pak. I forgot to ask them about my locals and the tech doesn't come out with the 622 till Saturday. Are locals - and especially HD...

I own a 942 and initially felt the same way. But after thinking about it a little more, I'm wondering what the advantages are to owning? You're spending $99 for the lease deal vs. a possible $299 for the owning deal - I kind of like the less out of pocket $$ with the lease deal. Yeah you own...

bhlems - the one 322 I have currently feeds two tv's, one in my wife's office and one in the extra bedroom. Those TV's aren't anything special so as long as my current non-HD channels still work through the 322 when I go to HD Platinum, I'll be happy. The dual tuner in the 322 is perfect for...

I started getting confused when reading Dish's site - they keep saying a 622 or 211 is required for any level of the new HD Packages. I know that's in reference to the HD channels but wanted to make sure all the other "180 standard channels included" in the Platinum package will work with the...

I have a 942 for my HDTV and a 322 in another part of the house for two non-HD TV's. If I trade in my 942 for the 622 and switch to the HD Platinum package, what happens to my 322? I bet it won't work since its not and MPEG4 receiver, will I be able to get a replacement for it as well as...

Will content from Dish always be compressed as we see it today, will it change soon since we're "supposedly" MPEG4? Or is current picture quality what to expect from Dish for the forseeable future? That fact alone makes me envious of TWC when I hear they throughput HD without altering the...

If I upgrade my 942 to the new 622 and one of the new MPEG4 packages, will I see an improvement in my HD quality? The quality of my current Voom channels has really declined since I first subscribed over year ago... only Discovery HD Theater looks just as good as it first did. I hear that...

Would there be the same down-convert policy for Time Warner in Houston?

Well that's good info but still not even close to the whole story we're really waiting to hear... 1) Will existing subs be able to pay the "cost of a service call" and get a VIP622 IN TIME for the launch of new MPEG4 programming? I want to start watching new HD channels - especially HD...

I have a 942 with HBO HD, Showtime HD, HD Pack, and Voom. I also have America's top 120 + locals for SD. I do not have an HD OTA antenna - I am hoping for upcomming HD local programming from Dish as I am in Houston. I'm reading threads on mpeg-4 release, new 622 HD receiver, HD locals...

Thanks a lot! The Channel Master looks good too. Do you think the 4228 located in the attic with an amp is capable of picture quality equal to that of my current regular HD channels? Or does an antenna absolutely have to be on the roof?
