So nobody has seen this? It is really on and off. One day the locals are OK and the next I get the black screen. Thanks for any insight. Steve

OK, here is the actual message: "Sorry for the interruption. There is no need to call us. We are working to have this channel back as soon as possible. You may still watch non-local programming by pressing the guide button on your remote control and selecting another channel."...

Hey Guys, For about the last three weeks I have been having a problem with my 625. Sometimes, when trying to tune or record a local channel, I get a black screen with a message that there is no need to call dish, they are aware of the problem, and are fixing it. this has screwed up a ton of...

OK, what about two TV2 remotes? Can I do it to both, or should I? Thanks Steve

Why does this work? Will it work with two UHF remotes for a 625?

So would there be ANY fees to use the 942 for OTA, and my current SD AT100? So if my local station is not braodcasting in digital I can not record OTA on the 942.

If one were to buy a 942, what fees are we looking at to get it to work? I have a 625 with At100 w/locals. I don't want HD programing other than OTA. What is the difference between the 942 and 622? Thanks

OK, so now it looks like I would have to add another DVR fee as well. So if I understand it right, I am looking at 3 $6 fees minimum. Probably not worth it to me. Thanks for the responses. Steve

So I have found what I think is part of my answer. At a minimum there is a $6 HD enabling fee, and If I lease a $6 lease fee. Correct?

Can I get 622? I guess this thread is as good as any to ask my question. I currently have a 625, and AT100 w/locals. I pay 34.99 for programing, 5.98 DVR fee, and 5.99 DHPP fee. I am under the 18 month contract, and I get the 5.99 for DHPP back. So basically I am at $41 a month before...

Oh S**T, the Dishnetwork info says the 625 is USB 1.1. I would hope it still might work even if it is slower.

Good news on the external storage, but what about those with a 625? I want to use my USB port too:-)

So this is all hopefull news, but I would add that those of us with a 625 would like it as well. Something to look forward to in the new year. Steve

I had this happen just last night, I swear that I had The Unit set to record all new shows, and unless I am wrong, it was a new epp last night. Still, it didn't record and there is no mention of it being not a new epp or skipped. it just isn't there. This is with a 625 Steve

Hey Guys, I just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and input. I picked up the TV today, and so far I am completely satisfied. I see the point of those with HD, but since I have never had it, this new TV is bigger, and looks better than what I had. I ended up using just a...

I have an indoor right now from before I got Dish, so I will try that an see what the results are. The RF feed runs to a 19 standard TV right now, so I can split that to the new TV, or component cable from the 625 to the new TV. I guess the other option is to move the reciever and make...

I just looked, and for TV2, s-video in not an option. So I guess my two options are component video / audo (RCA), or plain old cable. So I guess that is my question, which one is better? Thanks Steve

Kb7oeb, you owuld recocmend Co-ax as I understand it. NOHD junkie, Thanks for the info, I looked at antennaweb, and it didn't say anything about HD in the listings. I will take another look. So you sugest S-Video / RCA. Thanks guys. Steve

I probably shoud go to the HD forum if this strays any more off my original question of what cable to use, but.... From what I see, in my zip code, 16411, I don't have any HD OTA available, nor would my dish locals be HD even if I moved to a HD package and reciever. correct me if I am wrong.

Garys, So what do you do when you watch a show that is not broadcast in HD?

OK, I need to hear from someone that is using an SD reciever with a large LCD. Do you wish you had not made the purchase? I didn't think all that many shows / channels were in HD, I could be wrong. I would find it pretty hard to pay extra for HD, I'm so cheap I gripe about my bill as it is...

Hi guys, I come here because I know you have the answers. Right now I have a 625, and two standard tube TV's. I am thinking that for Christmas we may get a LCD FLat screen, which will become a second TV2. I am thinking of the VIZIO 32", 37", or 42 " LCD. I know I could spend more, but...

I noticed in your illustration, you forgot to explain how you could use the USB port to hook the reciever to your.... Oh wait, you can't do that:-) Seriously though, that is a very helpfull visual aid. Steve

I should mention that for the first few months the bill will irritate you. partial months, credits, errors, etc. I think I had to call alltel a few times, but it has settled itself down now, and I seems to be correct. I did get HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime (I think) free for three months. You...

I have exactly that, I originally had alltel, for phone, then added internet, then added Dish. Now I have local phone $25, 1.5MBs DSL $25, and Dish AT60, 625 DVR $45. Costs are approximate, but my total bill is $95 a month including taxes. I never had a problem withh Alltel, and the switch...
