    Christmas gifts from DISH!

    I was able get both of my 522's replaced with a 622 and a 722 while getting rebates for both. Couldn't believe it when she gave me my choice of install dates: Dec. 25th b/t 12-5pm or New Year's Day! I took the 25th so I'll get to see the bowl games in HD. I'm gonna have to be real nice to my...

    Christmas gifts from DISH!

    Does the upgrade include installation? If I upgrade an existing 522 to a ViP622/722 does the upgrade include installation? I have a DishPro500 antenna now. Will the install include the Dish 1000+ antenna or will that be a separate charge?

    Upgrades limited to 3 tuners?

    Hi, Called Embarq to inquire about upgrading my Dish service to HD. Was told by the CSR that I could only upgrade 3 tuners (I currently have 2 leased 522's). I wanted to upgrade to two 622's. Is this accurate? If so, why? Thanks for taking the time....

    Questions about upgrading to HD

    Not sure if this should be a new topic or not....but anyway...just got off the phone with a CSR. He's telling me that I can't upgrade both of the 522s to 622s. I can only upgrade 3 tuners as part of the 'Dishing it up' promotion. I wanted to buy a 522 to use in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms and use...

    Questions about upgrading to HD

    Ok, looks like I need to do some reading to get up-to-speed before I order. I'm not sure what the switch does or where it's supposed to be located. Sorry to irritate with with noob questions. I've been out of the Sat. TV game for about 20 years. Once upon a time I installed C/Ku band...

    Questions about upgrading to HD

    Thanks for the replys. If Dish limits to four leased tuners can I purchase a 522 and trade-up to two 622's? Regarding the cabling from antenna to the receiver in the living room...I've got 2 coax cables. My question is will I need additional coax from the antenna/switch to feed two dual-tuner...

    Questions about upgrading to HD

    I want to upgrade my existing Dish hardware to get high-def in two rooms. I have two 522 receivers that are leased. I want to remove one 522 and add two 622s (the 2nd 522 feeds the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms). Here are my questions (in no particular order): 1. Can I lease 3 dual tuner receivers...

    Took matter into my own hands!!!

    Like hpman247, I'm about 75 mi. from Raleigh (27870 zip). I'm tired of waiting to get HD locals through E* (ABC/PBS don't count in my book) but shudder at switching to D* just to get CBS. I don't have a problem installing the OTA antenna but the wife won't like the idea of a big antenna and pole...

    E* schedule for HD LILs in rural locations??

    I feel your pain! ;) I've been chomping to get a 622 but will wait for network channels b/f switching. I'm in the fringe area of the Raleigh/Durham, NC market and as I understand it, we should be able to get HD locals sometime in the 2nd quarter of this year. I'm too far away to get HD's OTA...

    NBC Olympic coverage picture quality

    I'm watching the NASCAR qualifying on NBC now and seeing the same thing. The car's hoods and trunk lids have a green 'speckled' effect. Last night the uniforms of the ski jumpers had the same thing. Both my cable and the SD sat. pictures have the same effect. I thought it could be my TV but I'm...

    NBC Olympic coverage picture quality

    Hi everyone, Please forgive me if this topic is in the wrong area. I've been watching the Olympics on my 522 and have noticed that the picture quality is not very good, especially the outdoor events. I have Charter cable here as well and the picture looks similar (local networks on cable...
