    UVerse 802.11n?

    Not unless they've changed since I got mine The 2Wire Home Gateway they provided me supports G but not N. Still pretty nice since I didn't pay anything extra for it. They also gave me an 8 port wired network switch at no charge since the 4 ports on the 2Wire box weren't enough for my wired...

    ADIOS DISH

    Some of us do. Others have been refused. I accomplished this by singing up for UVerse TV and internet and then cancelling the TV portion after a month or so. They let me keep the UVerse internet. I pay $35 per month for 6/1 mbps down/up and am very happy with the service. Your mileage may...

    HD Ready VS HDTV

    The issue for the "HD Ready" TV is that you would probably want to watch off the air programming on it in high definition. The inexpensive converter boxes that are available (along with the government $40 rebate coupons) will convert digital off the air broadcasts to standard definition analog...

    Sorry I misunderstood. Good luck figuring it out.

    who has L612 update on their 722 and still no CH501?

    DRM isn't the issue DRM is not your issue. My 721 with L612 gets CH 501 using component video to the TV.

    HD Local + Dish + Time Warner Cable Question

    For the Dodger games that are broadcast on Prime Ticket in HD you can record them from Dish channel 5411. I know that doesn't help for the games broadcast on KCAL-9.

    722 L449 HD playback jumps to real time when viewing recording in progress

    Update: Per 8bit's suggestion I changed the DishPass to start recording 0 minutes early instead of 3 minutes early. This avoided the misbehavior, at least this time. When I asked to start over viewing the recording while it was still being recorded, it did show the slate for a second or so...

    722 L449 HD playback jumps to real time when viewing recording in progress

    That's a reasonable suggestion, I'll give it a try and post here with the results. The next HD broadcast on 5417 is Wednesday night. Thanks!

    722 L449 HD playback jumps to real time when viewing recording in progress

    Let me start by apologizing for the long post, but the problem is specific to a complex set of conditions. I have experienced this problem numerous times when watching a baseball game on FSN West HD (channel 5417) recorded with a Dish Pass. Specifically, I ask to view the recording from the...

    Newbie question (begining the quest to OTA-HD)

    The best place to learn about potential reception If you go to AntennaWeb and enter your location it will suggest a type of antenna, a preliminary guess of what stations you can receive, and what direction to point the antenna for each station. Good luck and have fun!

    Im new here, thanks in advance for your help

    Go optical direct from 722 to receiver I don't know whether your TV passes audio from HDMI to optical, but the conventional thing is to connect the optical audio direct from the 722 to the receiver. Give it a try. Good luck, and welcome to the neighborhood!

    Can I use 1TB external Drive

    Not really an answer, but... If I remember correctly, the WD MyBook 1 TB drive has only an Ethernet interface and is, therefore, not usable with the 622's USB interface. This still begs the question of whether the 622 would work with a 1 TB drive that did have a USB interface. The slides in...

    L405 for 622

    I'm having a problem watching a Dishpass recording from the start, beginning when the recording is still in progress. I select the "Start Over" option, but the 622 shows what is currently being received and recorded. The only way I could figure out to get back to the beginning of the recording...

    Dish dimensions and signal quality

    I'm in Southern California which, like Texas, is an area of weak signal strength for the 129 satellite. My local installer said they are not installing the 1000s here and he put in a pair of 500s for 110/119 and 129. I've had good luck with this setup but your mileage may vary.

    Additional 622 for $99 Upgrade Information....

    That's what the CSR confirmed The CSR confirmed that my total bill will be $108.98 ($8.99 for locals/superstations plus $99.99 for HD Platinum). No lease fee when the 622 is the only receiver on the account. The ultimate proof won't be in until I get and activate the 622 and see a bill...

    Additional 622 for $99 Upgrade Information....

    It's all good... So far at least. I called the special number at about 7pm Pacific time this evening to upgrade my 921 to a 622. I was on hold for about one minute before being connected to a very helpful CSR in Virginia named RJ. It took about 15 minutes to review the terms and do the...
