    Are 722's obsolete?

    The best Dish receiver I have owned thus far has been the 722. It seems that the lifespan of these recycled receivers is falling fast. My last one made it six months, they sent out a replacement a week ago and it has already crashed twice. I only use one TV and it seems for some reason Dish...

    External Hard Drive 3 receiver limit

    I am currently on my 4th 622. Plugged in the EHD to play a VOOM concert and got a message saying the EHD had to be reformatted due to the three receiver rule. Since Dish dumped VOOM a lot of this programming will be difficult to replace, A call to Dish support yielded no help. Anyone know if...

    Anyone see this before??

    Turned on the old 622 yesterday to catch a movie, was greeted with the message "corrupt hard drive, press to delete all recordings" Rebooted two or three times and could get nothing, then did a hard reboot and got a picture and the failed hard drive message. I could watch live but no PVR and...

    Satellite locations

    This is probably here somewhere but I can't find it. What are the locations for the DirecTV satellites other than 101, 110, and 119?? I am thinking of the 5 LNB dish. Thanks for your responses!

    Anyone here switched from Dish???

    Specifically How does the HD DVR compare to the Dish 622. C-net rates the 622 much higher. If the 622 is that much better the HR-20 must be pathetic...........Anyone here dumped the 622 for an HR-20??? Whadaya think?? Thanks for responses!!!!

    Cableing Problem??

    My 622's (two so far) seem to function fairly well in single user mode, recording one program at a time and even watching one live. If I record two I start having problems and If I record two and watch one delayed a few minutes well it pretty much comes unglued with stutter, pops, and drops...

    622 VS. 942 Quality

    I am considering the "upgrade" I would purchase a 622 and sell the 942. Do ya'll think the hardware is of comparable quality? Audio drops? I went through two 625's because of that, it's not an issue with the 942. I consider audio drops to be more than annoying. Does the 622 handle 4:3 as...
