    Question about wiring for new install

    Hi, I have my DirecTV install scheduled for tomorrow. I'm getting an HD DVR and another HD receiver with the multi-room DVR setup. My house originally was only wired with 2 coax outlets. The first outlet is being used for Comcast broadband. The previous owner added 2 more outlets by splitting...

    722K-L655 Software

    My 722k has been freezing up then rebooting while watching recorded programs. It's happened about 5 times in the last 2 days. I checked and I have L655. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, and also tried doing a check switch. Still freezes up and reboots.

    722k: audio dropout when recording

    I upgraded to a 722k a few weeks ago and have been having issues with audio dropping out. This happens when I'm in the middle of recording a show (or two) and I begin playback of something else. Every 5-10 seconds the audio will cut out briefly. I've also noticed it while transferring a program...

    722K users - picture quality compared to 722/622?

    I just upgraded from a 622 to 722k and noticed that the text in the guide looks sharper. Haven't noticed any PQ difference while watching shows.

    Avoid receiver lease fee?

    I have one receiver (vip 622) on my account. Should I be charged the $7 leased receiver fee? I chatted with support and they said that I get charged that because I have an HD DVR. Thanks!

    Showtime Rebate

    I did the rebate last year using my online bills. I got a letter stating that I had to submit the original bill to quality for the rebate. I called them and told them I only had access to my online statement and they said they'd mail the check right away. I received it within a week.

    L617 Software Bug Thread

    I've experienced the same issue on my 622. I've noticed it on 129 even though my signal strength is stronger than it used to be (it's around 55). And I've experienced it while watching recorded programs.

    Anyone Experiencing 129 Issues?

    I've been having the problem with losing the 129 signal for several weeks now. I'm in Tucson, AZ. I spoke with tech support online and they told me to check all my connections from the dish to the receiver. I'll have to contact them again...I guess the best that could be done is see if the dish...

    Dish Network and Vonage (program access fee)

    My 622 works well with Vonage, including caller ID and ordering PPV. I have Vonage set to the high bandwidth setting, so I didn't need to use the *99 (which switches it to high bandwidth on a per-call basis).

    Black lines on top of picture??

    I've noticed the issue too, especially on A&E HD. I have a Sharp Aquos and it is in Dot by Dot view mode. The options are: Stretch, Dot by Dot, S.Stretch, and Zoom. I'll have to look at the manual again, but I wanted a view mode that wouldn't distort or stretch shows that actually are in HD...

    OFFICIAL External Storage Information

    I have a Falcon 500GB drive and things seem to be working fine. However, I was wondering what the best way to power off the hard drive is. This drive has an on/off switch on the back, but it says not to turn it off until the drive has been unmounted. When I turn off the 622, is the drive...

    Dish totally screwed up my 622 work order

    I decided to call again and see what advanced tech support would tell me. I'm very glad I did, because things should be resolved now. If only everyone were so helpful. I spoke with someone by the name of Tom who checked the schedule, verified it was full, but thought that maybe my original...

    Dish totally screwed up my 622 work order

    Dish totally screwed up my 622 work order (Update: issue now resolved) I'm furious. I should be happy because my 622 arrived today. My install date was 2/25. I decided to call to see if they by chance had a sooner install date. So, I spoke with Rachel in tech support and she said she doubted it...

    FIRST LOOK: 622 Review!

    Are all of the 622's being directly shipped to the customer? That's what I was originally told when they rescheduled my install from 2/11 to 2/25. However, I've called tech support 4 times in the last two days to try and get a shipping status and 3 of the 4 techs say that the installer will...

    My 622 has shipped

    I tried calling 3 times today, and they're all clueless. I called tech support each time. The first rep said there's no tracking number showing but she thinks it was shipped out today and to call back later for a tracking number. Rep 2 said that it arrived on 2/9, but that was in fact the empty...
