    Samsung Omnia Verizon

    The reports are correct! I flashed mine with the 'unofficial' new version CC20 ROM from Samsung, and the GPS now works! You also get a few other new features as a bonus. If you follow the directions to the letter, the flash will likely go perfectly. Took me about 10 minutes, and had no...

    Samsung Omnia Verizon

    You can't do this through the GUI, but it takes only a couple minor registry changes to keep messages and attachments in 'My Storage'. The only issue is that WM5 and WM6 use somewhat different registry structures to specify the default directories, and many of the threads I found seemed...

    Browse bug in ViP receivers (622 and 211)?

    n0qcu - You hit it right on the head: The leftmost box is supposed to be the current program. If you're positioned there, the display should continue to display the current programs as you move up or down -- it should never jump forward in time unless you hit the right arrow. (And...

    Browse bug in ViP receivers (622 and 211)?

    I often use the "Browse banner" (the one that opens with the right-arrow button) instead of the full Guide to scan channels, using the up- and down-arrow keys. With the new VIP series receivers, the Browse banner allows use of the right-arrow to view several days' worth of upcoming...

    DISH HD Vip622 Menu Setup

    Thanks, navychop... that's interesting. I've been through the TV menus and there's no settings for audio source, nor is it mentioned in the Vizio manual. The only thing they show is a diagram of a single HDMI cable, and a second diagram just like it but also showing the RCA cable for HDMI...

    DISH HD Vip622 Menu Setup

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the 622's HDMI output does not supply audio - it's video only, right? I haven't been able to get audio through it... Also: My primary set is an older Samsung 61" DLP fed by a Dish 622 via component cables. It has native res of 720p...

    LNB/switch changes needed for 622?

    OK, now I understand -- and that's a pretty compelling benefit. If I were the installer, I'd sure change out the LNB's and the SW64 rather than try to pull more coax, because there's no easy way to add another run of RG6 in my installation. Guess I'll go ahead and swallow the $300 fee on the...

    LNB/switch changes needed for 622?

    That's what I wanted to hear... but can you help me understand why is this the case? Is there something about the upgrade that renders my current SW64 and/or legacy LNB's obsolete?

    LNB/switch changes needed for 622?

    I'm in the metro DC area, and Dish itself is now steering installers to the 61.5 wing dish vs. the 1000. Bingo... so the $64 question becomes what programming combo would require the upgrade?? Thanks much! Rob

    LNB/switch changes needed for 622?

    That's kinda what I was asking. From reading other posts, it appears that Dish is no longer paying metro DC installers to put up Dish 1000's. Instead, they're asking them to install a separate 61.5 dish which I already have. Since leasing a 622 requires "professional installation" (hey...

    LNB/switch changes needed for 622?

    I currently have an 811 (owned), an old JVC DVHS, and a 510 (leased). Am using two Dish 500's -- one for 119/110, and one for 61.5. Both dishes have the really ancient LNB's (not the newer 'twins') feeding an SW64. I'd like to upgrade my 811 to a 622, and the 510 to a 625 if possible. If...

    If you are currently experiencing problems with the 110 satellites...

    When I spoke to a CSR earlier this morning, she volunteered that they'd issue a credit for the duration of the outage -- didn't think to ask if this will be automatic or if I have to call again to request it when things get back to normal... Rob

    Dish Expands High Definition Package

    Wrong EPG info? I upgraded to add the Voom channels on Sunday. Since then, I've noticed that the actual programs on GUYTV and MJSTC don't match the program guide info. The other 8 channels seem to be ok, but can't confirm for sure. I called Dish tech support yesterday, and the CSR took a...

    921 Spec Sheet!

    Re: did Charlie type this up?? As I understand it, there are two sat tuners and one OTA tuner. The 921 can record two digital streams at once -- either two sat or one sat and one OTA -- and you can also simultaneously watch something you recorded earlier. That would imply 'handling' 3 HD...

    Scott - Well, at the risk of not sounding grateful, a couple related things that would be really nice if the package supports them: a) Email notification when a new thread is started within a major topic (eg, notify me of new thread within the Dish Network forum) b) Ability to...

    Scott - You beat me to it. Indeed, it's available at the detailed thread level when you're logged in - sorry for the false alarm! Rob

    On most similar forums (e.g., AVSForums) it's possible to subscribe to a topic you're viewing to be automatically notified via email when new posts are made to that topic, together with a direct URL. I don't see such a feature here; am I missing anything and/or are you planning to enable this...
