    Upgrading an old 311

    Hi all! Not been on in a while, guessing that's a good thing (no issues) :) I recently replaced an old CRT set w/ a small HD set and looking to replace the old 311 that I've been using since new. I looked at the receiver section of dishnetwork.com and don't see the 222k listed anymore (other...

    Help?

    Need a little help.... Bought a new My Book 2 TB drive today and my 622 pops up a window saying it's unsupported. I've tried a bunch of different drives in different enclosures... all say unsupported. What gives? Thanks for any input you anyone can give :) Rob

    Hopper with USB OTA and HDD

    Hi All! Reading through the Hopper w/ Sling manual online and noticed that it states that the Hopper will only work w/ one USB device at a time. Does that mean that you can only have either the OTA dongle or the HDD connected? Or will it work with both of those, just not 2 HDDs? Thanks, Rob

    Ext HD question

    Ok, so tonight my 622 has stopped communicating w/ my EXT that's been attached for almost 1 1/2 years. I've tried a new cable and power supply. My question is that since I cannot connect the HD to windows to verify operation, if I change the enclosure, will the 622 recognize it as the same...

    622 Video Freeze

    Greetings all, In the past 2 weeks or so, my 622 has had the video freeze on occasion. It doesn't lock up all the way, I can get to the guide and change the channel and it may or may not freeze on that channel. I can also go to the DVR and it will work. It's so intermittent right now that...

    What happened to the "Currently online" box?

    Just curious. Wanted to PM a DIRT member about an issue on the phone with a CSR this evening, but didn't see the need to make it public. Scrolled down to look to see if anybody "red" was on & saw no names of who is on the site... Thanks,

    Interesting issue with 622

    Greetings all, have an interesting issue with my 622 the past 2 nights. Have come in the house and tried to turn it on & the screen saver doesn't go away. Shows the "1" icon at the bottom and says "stand by..." It takes about 2-3 minutes of staring at it for it to come up. Have not had...

    622 and Sling

    Been searching, but seems as though all the sling talk is related to the 722. Am I correct to assume that the 622 is not compatible with sling? I ask because I'm working out in the garage & listening to the race on an MRN feed, but thinking it'd be great to put it up on the TV out here...

    Will manual timers ever be available on the newer units?

    Greetings! I'm sill using my 622 that I've had for a number of years now. I was interested in the 922, however the fact it never got an option for manual timers prevented me from actually getting one. I've not seen anything about this on the new Hopper unit, does it have manual timers or is...

    Multiple channels missing tonight? (Now Back)

    Was wanting to watch the new Mark Harmon movie on USA tonight, but it's out. Unfortunately I can't check the signal strength right now, the wife is recording another show. I'm using 129 for USA and the other channel she's recording and that one's good. Anyone else having issues w/ either USA...

    Why can't the FCC step in and do something about this! LIN at it again!

    Granted, this doesn't affect me since I'm a Dish Subscriber, but to all of those who bashed Dish about contract negotiations with LIN, they're at it again... COX Communications Retransmission Dispute It really irritates me the way they get by with getting $$ for free!

    Do we really get TRU TV in HD?

    Just curious... I have yet to see anything in HD on there, or even an "HD" bug in the corner. I've been suspicious since it came on as to weather it's an upconvert of the SD channel???? I watched a forensic files Friday, several actually, and looked as usual, squished & kinda fuzzy... it was a...

    Dish 1000.2 Questions

    Hi All! I'd like to ask any one in VA that has the 1000.2 on 110, 119, 129 what their signal strengths are like? I'm contemplating getting the free upgrade, since I can't convince the CSRs that I am currently pointed at 129 w/ a wing dish & it's going to be free. I'd just like to know...

    Replacement LNBs for Super Dish

    Any still available, or something to replace them with? I know we don't need the 105 feed anymore, anything that would let me still use it for 110 / 119???? I ask because the LNB drift now for 119 is -10dB, still holding -8dB on 110... Thanks

    Will the 922 work with my switches?

    I have a superdish for 119 & 110 and a wing dish for 129. They feed to a DP34 & I have 2 separate lines running to my 622. Would this setup still work for the 922 or would I need a newer switch?

    Calling any 129 users in VA...

    Welp, the snow let up & I swung the wing dish around to 129 (from 61.5)... I used transponder 21 to tune it (only one w/ a free MPG2 since I used a 311 to point). I peaked the dish to a signal strength of 50-52 on the new meter. However, all the others seem to be around 35-37??? For the...

    External Hard Drive Question

    Forgive me, but the ext drive threads have become so large & I have just a simple question... Has anyone used a laptop drive with the 622? I ask because many will power from the USB (I use one for my PS3) & there's no power cord to clutter up the counter... Does the 622 have enough power on...

    OK, Networking Question

    Ok, I'm getting curious to see how the free "VOD" looks (the Beast), but I haven't yet connected my 622 to my network. I have a wireless router that I use for my PS3 (it has wireless built in) and no network run to the location of the 622. Question is; will the USB jack on the 622 support a...

    Question for you fine folks

    I'm thinking about adding another dual tuner to my system. If you look @ my signature, you'll see what equipment I currently have. I currently have 2 cables run from my switch to my 622. My question to you is; should I upgrade to DPP equipment & lose the 2nd cable to my current 622 & use a...
