There is one minor advantage to owning. That is not incurring a subscription obligation when upgrading. Used receivers sell pretty fast on eBay and the price break between buying a box on eBay and paying the fee to upgrade a leased receiver is minimal to me.

Topeka DMA HD I see that all four of the networks are now available in HD for the Topeka DMA. I have a 1k.2 dish looking at 110, 119, and 129. I reviewed the info available here at "The List!" and see that the HD feeds are active at 61.5. Further review shows that they are also uplinked, but...

OK, Hemi....time for you to lighten up. I have been sitting on the sidelines of this site for several years and seldom post. But I do get sick and tired of a very small majority of posters who have to constantly snipe at others. This web forum is not a court of law. No one owes you any...

I doubt we will see the 'Big 4' in HD for Topeka on Dish for quite some time. Fox43 isn't even broadcasting HD OTA and I haven't heard if they ever intend to do so. Fox43 is a low power UHF OTA station. The way I read the rules, the digital transition doesn't apply to low power UHF stations...

Looks like SB29 hits dead center in my backyard! Yea me!

Does anyone know at this point from which satellite the Topeka, Kansas locals will be transmitted? This question may be premature, but I am curious if I will be needing an equipment change.

Damn...I thought it was a comment regarding my mental condition. ;)

Isn't there a limit to the number of swaps one can do? I thought it was three times and your done.

Voila! Just did it! Another benefit of these forums...Thanks guys.

I noticed the very same thing.....thought maybe it was just me.

OK..I have heard all about moving and know it works. I have thought of doing it, but have one concern. What happens if I require a service call under the service plan? Will they ship a replacement tuner to my "billing" address? Has anyone had any experience with receiving a replacement...

I upgraded to a 722 from a 622 a couple weeks ago. I had the same issue on the day of the swap. A couple of "check switch" and reboot actions AFTER I scanned and saved the OTA stations forced a new download of the channel guide and voila...guide was filled.

I'd like to know where you bought the Toshiba HD-DVD for $98. I run two HD TV's on my 622 and noticed the same thing...looked pretty good even if it was downres'd. I have now, however run an HDMI cable to TV2 and run TV1 on the component cables.

I just upgraded one of my 622's to a 722. I requested self install at the time of ordering and they shipped it straight to me. I received the 722 two days ago and the swap out went fine. Dish included a return UPS label to package the old receiver in the same box and ship it back. I would...

I agree that the three switches and your done is a crappy deal. I can't comprehend why the limit was etablished...it just doesn't make any sense, unless there is some unknown software issue. But, to add a twist (and some fun) to this discussion, now that we have ethernet access to our home...

I do exactly this with two HDTV's. I have one in the living room and the other in the adjoining dining room. I am set on single mode and both remotes work just fine. The programming is mirrored as previously stated. I have 20 feet of HDMI cable running from the DVR in the living room to the...

This will be useful.....Now if they would just provide a 'delete' option after stopping playback of the external drive, I would be one happy camper!

Happy Camper I called in at 7:30am, CDT this morning. I have two 622's and the CSR thought I should be charged 39.99 X2. I corrected her, and after a long while on hold while she checked it out, she came back on the line confirming I would be only charged 39.99 one time (per household). It...

That is really bad news. I have two 622's and had hoped to tranfer the drives between the two to watch programing recorded on one at the other location in the house. I will live. The biggest problem will come for those of you that are archivists. No more equipment upgrades for you...

I would appreciate an invite, if anyone has one available. Thanks in advance.

As reported elsewhere on these boards and what I have experienced, THe VIP622 HDMI does not deliver Dolby 5.1. For the life of me I can't figure out what the Dish engineers were thinking by not delivering 5.1 with the most sophisticated (to date) delivery mechanism for HDTV's. The solution is...

I am curious if the external hard drive will be married to just one 622. I have two 622's and would like the ability to move a recorded program from one DVR to the other thru use of the USB external drive. A better solution for me would be the ability to network the DVR's into my home...

I am in. Thanks in advance for the 1000

Thanks for the info..that explains the "full" issue. Does anyone know the projected date and details of the new WB bird?

Hi guys, I am moving to a rural area without access to cable (yea! I am going back to Dish) nor access to DSL. I checked with a local Wild Blue retailer and he told me that Wild Blue is not taking on new customers as the satellite is "full". I assume he/they mean that current subscriber...
