How does the 622 convert 1920 x 1080i to 1280 x 720p and vice-versa? There is only one option on the 622 for output resolution (you can't set it at native resolution), so how does the 622 do this conversion, and is it any good? The reason I ask is because I have a 1080i only RPTV (see...

I have a strange question for you all: Is it possible to map an OTA local channel to one of the local channels that Dish provides program guide info for? I live in the boonies, and I only get one channel over the air, WDBB, which is a satellite broadcast of WTTO in Birmingham (the channel...

I've noticed this around, and I was just curious. Last night my wife made my jaw drop when she told me (and I quote): "What is wrong with the HD? It doesn't look as good as it used to. I want it to go back to the way it looked when we first got it." She was wanting me to fix it!!! I...

It isn't in the program guide and it isn't anywhere on their website (that I can find)! I just got my 622 and want to calibrate my set. Any info?

They WILL Let Me Upgrade! I upgraded my 811 to the 411 back in March, and now they won't let me upgrade to the 622 :mad: because they said that I must wait a year (next March) before I can upgrade again. When I asked for ANY upgrade option (any price), they said I just have to wait. Is...

I was considering upgrading to the 622 and "moving" to Atlanta, but I have one concern. Since I will only be able to receive the HD Atlanta locals (due to spotbeam?), what will the 622 do when it fills up with HD recordings (most of my dvr is used for primetime network shows), and is there...

Are there any DishHD channels that are broadcasting at full 1920 x 1080i resolution? The res. and bitrate chart confuses me, because it doesn't tell the individual resolutions for each of the channels. Maybe I just don't fully understand, but could someone enlighten me?

When are we going to hear about this "big" announcement that DISH has??? I have been checking the site feverishly to hear what they've got up their sleeves. AVS says that it is more than just the "InHD and RSN HD" stuff. Help us out CEDIA people!!!

Is there a difference when it comes to the sports offerings of the multi-sport pack and the sports offering of the Dish HD silver plan? The Dish website almost makes it look like you only get your regional sports network (in my case Fox Sports South) in the Silver package, while you get all of...

Hey Everyone, I saw a while back a post about the slingbox, but I never really followed up on it to read about it. Today I checked it out and it looks like an amazing technology! Are there any dish users on here that use the slingbox? I am curious how well it is working for you. I also...

Why do my local channels (Birmingham, AL DMA) all have a temporary home in the 9800 channel range??? In the program guide it has the channel number, then it says temporary home for Birmingham FOX, Birmingham ABC, etc. What does this mean? Is this a good sign (maybe getting HD soon) or is...

I have an install today and want a single dish on my roof (Dish1000) for my new 211 receiver. I saw somewhere that anyone east of the Mississippi river must have two dishes (one pointed at 61.5). I live in Winfield, AL in northwest AL. Will a Dish1000 work in my area? I have had problems...

For those in the know, I am set up for a 211 install with a Dish1000 this Saturday. In my DMA (Birmingham, AL) the FOX and NBC stations are owned and operated by their national companies. Will Dish allow me to view these via Distant channels? Is there any possibility that I might get to...

I live 80 miles from the nearest DMA, but I am considered a "Birmingham, AL" recipient. I have an 811 and a TV with an integrated HD tuner. I just talked to a professional this week and he said that it would cost me up to $400 to put a massive antenna up and even then I probably wouldn't get...

Just called a CSR to upgrade my 811 to the 211. She put me on hold for 5 minutes then came back and said she could do it. When I asked about whether the new dish (the 1000) would come with the 211, she said that I didn't need it. She said my Dish500 (only dish on my roof) would get...

Hello All, I currently have an 811 and a Dish500. I don't know much about pointing my dish, but I think it is pointed at satellite 119 and 110. Since it will probably be a while before I can upgrade, I thought about adding the 10 VOOM channels for $5 per month before the packages change...
