Last week, the hard drive failed on my 622. It was a bit of a bummer, as I had several things on there that I had not yet backed up to my external drive, but it was not anything that I couldn't live without. I just dreaded the hassle of trying to go through and deal with tech support and be on...

A few months ago, I started having troubles with my 622. It would randomly lock up, it completely lost a full hard drive of recordings, and it just acted generally wonky. I called Dish, they sent out at tech, and he decided that it was because the receiver was plugged in to a power strip...

I'm having an issue tonight where certain HD channels are sound only, no video...and it seems random. Espn, espn2, history, a&e, are some that are coming in fine in HD...but not much else. There is sound, and the SD versions are OK, but there is no video. Even 1 of my HD local channels is...

I saw where some folks had success getting the Platinum charge removed, so I gave it a shot. At first, the CSR didn't want to give it up, but I think he made a little slip-up and decided to go ahead and do so...here's the chat: Please wait while we find a representative to assist you... You...

This has been going on for me over the past week or so, that when we are watching certain HD channels, the signal starts to degrade and break up...very similar to what it acts like when a strong storm is approaching. Often, the channel will completely go away and the "searching for signal"...

i've only had the 622 and HD package for a couple of months now, but here's what i think so far. there are STRIKING differences between the HD channels that have SD counterparts on Dish...ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, FoodTV, etc. the HD versions just blow me away, period. i really enjoy the Rave...

well, the tech arrived right on time and was able to swap out my 500 dish and my 522 receiver for a 1000 dish and 622 in quick fashion. then, he did the satellite test...the sat 2 receiver picked up 110,119, and 129 just fine, but sat 1 didn't pick up anything and said there was a problem...

I have looked around to find this out, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I know that Dish has the most HD programming available right now, but I was wondering...what other national networks have HD signals available right now that are NOT on Dish? Does Dish pretty much have...

I want to upgrade from my 522 to a 622 and an HD package (i've decided to stick with Dish for now, based on our previous discussions :) ), but when I contacted customer service, both through a phone call and an email, I was told that my account currently doesn't qualify for their promotion, for...

i live in a "white area", and i got my LiL out of Lexington, KY. they don't offer HD versions on either Dish OR Direct right now, BUT, if i go with Direct, I can get distant networks in HD, and still keep my "local" channels in SD. i know that Dish is the HD leader right now, but from what...

i have an interesting question, and i think i already know the answer, but here we go. i am currently a Dish subscriber, and i have the dvr 522. the thing i really like most about the box is it is really 2 receivers in 1 box...it can output to 2 separate televisions, with no additional...

i saw on another forum a mention that the HD-DVR Tivo from Direct would be available by lease starting 3/1/06, when the $200 rebate ends. as i'm not at all interested in owning the equipment, i'd be all over a lease program, and would even consider jumping ship from Dish, or at least scaling...

well, i have dish now, and i have a dvr 522 box. however, i recently purchased a new hdtv, and so i'm ready to see what it can do. i was going to upgrade to the new dish 622 dvr, but was told that i would have to purchase the receiver, as i did not qualify for the lease (past year was kind of...

Dish. lol i got some lady that seemed to be speaking to me on a cb radio or something. there was a bit of delay between my saying something and her responding. anyways... i said i wanted to upgrade to HD, and she said "you have to buy that equipment, and it is $699, and only runs 1...
