No. I know from actual experience that the Hard Drive BIOS is proprietary. Sorry. Wait for external USB Hard Drive support. Should'nt be too much longer.:rolleyes:

My techy brother had a good question the other day. Does anyone know who manufactures the SATA hard drive (Maxtor, Seagate, Western Digital?) in the 622?. He was wondering if it was possible to use it in a windows PC after formatting to Fat32. There is no way I'll allow him to open my 622 to...

Thanks for the info. I sent them an e-mail. Still waiting for a response. Sounds like its a Dish problem since you receive the channel ok OTA. Man I wish I could talk to someone at Dish thats honest or the very least knowledgable and interested in providing quality customer service. BTW...

Today it was the worst! Is anyone else having problems with the picture quality of Washington DC ABC channel 7? Its pretty much unwatchable now. I have always had some distortions and breakups on that channel with the 622 but now its nothing but studdering, skipping, freezing, and pixelation. I...

I'm sorry but you're flat wrong on this one! Cable can and will provide you SV programming automatically when Dish cannot legally provide the same content while in the exact same service location as the cable company. My point here is that there is no fairness in this market. Why should I be at...

Totally agree! If, technically speaking, the customer is within a given spot beam I see no reason why we can't pick a local of our choice from all those within the spot beam. It's no sweat for Dish since all they need to do is assign the receiver code that aligns with the selected local. All...

Let me be the first to welcome you to this very knowledgeable board.:welcome

Not on Dish yet

The DC ABC channel is really bad on the 622. Lots of breaking up with loss of pixels. Is anyone else having that problem?

My installer did not charge extra to remove the 301 and connect the TV2 cable back on the TV. Heck, he even reconnected the surround sound free. You should'nt have to pay a cent to hookup TV2 to the 622.

The upgrade install went perfectly. Took about 45 minutes. Installer arrived at 9am and replaced both LNBs along with the 622. Can't say enough about See World Satellite techs out of Indiana, Pa. Great service!

Yes. I just upgraded my owned 811 and 301 to a 622 for $199 plus a $6 monthly lease. They sent me 2 dish network empty boxes so I can return them for $25 each. I have 45 days to return them in order to get the credit. The boxes are postpaid so I just drop them off at UPS.

Upgraded my 811 to a 622 last night (fri) and they'll be here to install it tomorrow (Sun) morning. What a father's day present! How's that for service?

Seems to me you should have two Lease fees for the two receivers. I just ordered a 622 and the Platinum package to replace my 811 and 301. I was told there would be a $6 lease fee for the 622 regardless the number of receivers I have. I thought there would be no lease fee if you only have one...

I wonder what ever happened to 'CART' auto racing that was on HDNet 2 years ago. I loved it and was looking forward to last years season but no 'CART' racing. What ever happened to it? Also, there wasn't as much NASCAR racing (Bush North and West) this last season as there was before. Seems like...

Thanx for clearing that up for me.

So with the 622, in addition to the lease fee ($6 per month) there's a service fee of $6 per month with anything less than Platinum service? Thats $12 a month to have a DVR plus the initial $299 cost??

I don't understand. I thought if you got the Platinum package with the 622 there would be no receiver or lease fee. Am I missing something here?

Now if Dish can only give us a local display of the weather channel, such as cable does, I would be a happy guy.

As I remember, we were told the top 15 markets would be first and the other 35 to follow (total of 50 were programmed). I know that at least 3 of the recently uplinked cities rank lower than the top 15. So my question remains unanswered. When will DC, one of the top 15 markets, be offered as HD...

Does anyone know when Washington DC will be available? I thought DC was in the top ten according to density. A couple of those cities that now have HD locals on Dish are nowhere near the size of DC. What gives??

Thats some friend you have there. With friends like that you don't need enemies.:cool:

Unfortunately.....moving is NOT an option. I'll just wait to see what happens between Dish and Direct. Whoever is first with the HD locals/nationals then they'll will get my business. I still think the FCC is run by the NAB instead of the people. Hell, all we got is votes. Not worth much these...

Oh man does this stink of bribery and incest. I'm so tired of these jerks making rules that have no basis in logic. I'm 120 miles away from Washington DC with 2 mountain chains between us. There is no way I can get an analog signal let alone a weak digital signal. With the exception of the DC...

When did Dish Network get the NFL network channel??? Thats news to me. I've been requesting that channel for months and their response is thats a fringe channel and they may consider adding it if enough people request it. I just don't understand E*.......
