    LNB drift?

    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...

    622 pixelating while DVR playback

    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...

    Losing DVR content if I keep my 942?

    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...

    What happens to my 322?

    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...

    622 & MPEG4 HD quality?

    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...

    Can somebody please straighten me out about my 942?

    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...

    I'm within 2 degrees compass orientation for all OTA channels, between 38-39 miles away for all as well. All UHF. How good would a DB-4 work if installed in the attic? Any other recommendations? I'm in Spring (NW Houston, TX). Thanks.
