    Seattle HD Locals

    Audio synch during Lost last night on KOMO was terrible. The other channels seemed fine, however.

    622 Is A Piece Of Crap!

    Yeah, the 622 is a great box. You probably have something else goin on that is causing signal reception to drop, thus the funky recordings.

    Install Today

    DirecTV people always come out and say "no line of sight" and leave. Funny how the DISH installers seem to make it work fine..

    Help me install OTA antenna with Dish 1000

    I wouldnt imagine that antenna would work any better than say an indoor Silver Sensor anenna. There isnt much to that "bat wing" you have there. Its odd. My neighbor has a full on ENORMOUS OTA antenna on his house to get the locals here and I have a silly little indoor Silver Sensor that...

    Could use some help in a choice...

    Ok let me pose this to you. Why not go with the 622 then? Its a two tuner HD-DVR that does SD on the second output. Run one tuner to the Panny plasma and one tuner to the SD TV. Problem solved. -Bill

    Dish 622 L356 Software Release Notes

    Well, I have had a few problems with the 622 but overall I think its an excellent receiver. Huge HDD (320 GB), same wonderful OSD that the 942 has, MPEG4 capable, etc. I'd like to see DISH fix the video drop out issue. Thats really the only problem I had with the 942 and seems to be the only...

    Well it hasnt happened to me yet (knock on wood) and I was even checking the strength during the storm we have brewing up around here tonight.

    Dish Network = Stupidity

    They should do your install with a 211, and have it all prepped for when the 622 arrives so you can swap out the receivers and activate the 622.

    HD Locals in Seattle?

    Thus far, my reception on 129 is great. I have a seperate DISH 500 pointed at 129 though (thats how my installer did it..). I wouldnt mind at all having HD locals on 129. What are you noticing on 129?

    Picture breakup with 129 and 500

    Which transponders are you seeing the drops on? I just had my install done today and the installer setup a seperate DISH 500 pointed at 129 and all of the TP's I checked were around 75-90 in strength. -Bill

    Install Today

    Well, while I was at work the installer came and did a fantastic job setting up my 622 and 211 receivers. The installer actually moved the DISH from the location it was in previously to another spot on my roof which severly increased signal strength on 119, lowered it a tad bit on 110 and...

    Did you use the special upgrade number?

    1) When did you call? Wednesday April 5th 2) How would you rate your call on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) 9 for sure. The rep knew exactly what I wanted and got the job done quickly. 3) How many 921's / 622's did you trade up or want to trade up...

    More than 1 HD receiver Upgrade

    I upgraded my 942 to a 622 and my 811 to a 211 on the same phone call. $299 with the $200 rebate of the 942, and $49 for the 211. I can send them back the 811 for a $25 credit or try to sell it on my own, since I do own it. -Bill
