    EHD Compatibility - 622 to 722K

    If I replace my 622 with a 722K, will the 900 Mb of EHD recordings I have on my WD hardrive be able to be viewed with the 722K? A live chat and a telecon with a CSR say no, it will have to be reformatted. I thought I had seen in a previous thread that Dish could ping the new receiver to get it...

    I have recently noticed that the audio synch on the OTA HD broadcast is really bad when viewed from the DVR. Do anyone else have this problem and is there a solution? I have checked the synch settings on the 622 and I believe they are set correctly. I have an optical link from the 622 to my...

    Problem DVRing the 110 Signal on my 921

    My system is a DP Quad through a DP34 switch that feeds 5 TV inputs. I THINK the way it is installed is with two lines from the quad to the DP 34 which feeds the two inputs of my 921 and the two inputs of my 322. A third line from the Quad goes to a 311. When I set my DVR timer to record...

    921 to DVR two HD programs concurrently?

    Can my Dish 921 record two HD programs at once off the satellite? (such as HBOHD and TNTHD) or one off the satellite and one OTA? Seems like every time I try this, only one records.
