    HDMI/HDCP issue

    Hi guys! Been a long time since I've been around, but that's because my 622s run great - until now. One of them has decided to not display anything if I switch my monitor (a Dell LCD) from DVI (hooked to Dish HDMI out via an adapter) to VGA and back again. If I pull the DVI cable or...

    Need DTV "Local Guy" W. of St. Louis

    I have a very good customer that is moving to Defiance, MO and I want him taken care of. He's got 2 DTV HD boxes and a bunch of surround sound hardware (but might need speakers in the new house). He won't be afraid to pay for quality work and he already knows about the $12/hour turkeys and...

    Distant HD Nets

    OK, it's halfway through June (the month we were told E* would have their act to.gether for HD distant net authorization), and rumor has it that there's little to no more HD Lil going in for the rest of 2006. SO - anybody hear anything about getting auth'd for distant HD nets (besides CBS...

    921 L276 just now arrived

    That's all I know so far, except as usual it was real flaky after the reboot. Took a hard (pull power) reboot to settle it down.

    Netflix Recommendations - does it work?

    I've rated 600 movies at Netflix, and their recommendation system works for me. In fact, it started working well after less than 100 recommndations. How about you? P.S. I didn't even get this post edited to my liking (5 minutes) before 3 people voted!

    The "Quick Reply" button is broken - at least for me.

    Vonage CSRs SUCK!

    I ordered Vonage on 12/27 and paid extra for the 2-day delivery. I tracked the order and found that they use DHL (a third-rate outfit at best). The tracking showed it was picked up early on the 27th, but was NOT scheduled for delivery until the 30th. What kind of math is that? :rolleyes...

    That time of year again.

    Time for the semi-annual triple-check your timers dance. As most of you are aware, E* hasn't been able to figure out how to deal with daylight savings time issues, even after all these years. Timers are often an hour off. HOWEVER, my 921 is now showing me "(std)" on all times after the...

    First customer Dish1000?

    Maybe. Certainly is the first one in my area. I just installed it today - for SpringsGuy. :D

    Anyone getting BOTH CBS-HD feeds?

    Now that more of us have both wings (61.5 & 148), has anyone been successful in getting both the East AND West feeds of CBS-HD? I've tried twice now to get them, and no joy.

    WARNING: L185 - Check your timers!

    After installing L185 via soft reboot followed by hard reboot, for the first time in forever, I had a timer fail to fire and had timer creation fail. It appears that a SECOND HARD REBOOT has got me going again. Anybody know where the software update lockout went? Did it ever exist on the 921?

    Retailers: Do you have 322/522 for sale? CEO seems to think so.

    I got tired of seeing on eBay what I assume (from reading threads, etc.) are illegal sales of 322s and 522s. So, I sent an alert to eBay. I got back a canned response which I then forwarded to ceo@dishnetwork.com. The response I got from E* rather surprised me. Here it is: Any retailers out...

    Internal switches for x2x type receivers?

    This question came to me in a PM, and I thought it was worth starting a thread. The requester can take credit for it if he likes. He was afraid it was a stupid question, but it's NOT at all. You answered your own question in a way by talking about backward compatibility and internal switches...

    Usage Trick: How to force a timer to "Skip Once"

    This will be obvious after you read it, but here goes. If you set multiple weekly timers to catch the same show (typically due to the failings of the 921), sometimes you'll want to force a timer to skip once without recording anything else, and without waiting for Mr. Blinky to give you the...

    DISH Comm Power-Line Link

    Well, we might as well get started. Hopefully someone at Dish will read this and staple it to the "DISH Comm" Chief Engineers forehead. My big concern is whether this will interfere with all the other power line comm stuff out there such as X-10 and certain phone jack repeaters, along with...
