called and they said i'm nuts. typical dish customer support.

Yeah, hi-defs are out. Low defs work.

Is the hd feed for KGO (channel 7) in the SF bay area down? On each of my 622s I just get a pink screen, no sound. Other local HDs seem ok.

I have everything back. The box i ran the check switch from required another check switch (which took awhile), but my 2 622's and 1 721 seem to work now.

Yes. I lost 110, 119, and 129. Called dish - busy signal. check switch - crazy results. One tv is now getting pictures. afraid to touch anything.

This happened to me a couple years ago (and is of course happening again). My experimentation at the time showed that the power inserter was an issue. I have a hundred feet of rg6 in series with a hundred feet of rg59 between the power inserter and the switch (don't ask :-). The dc voltage at...

I've lost the 119 evens, too. It's 100 degrees around here (northern california) and i suspect either the switch (on the chimney) is frying or the wires are heating up (raising R). Supposed to cool down in a couple days so hopefully that'll solve it.

Did this start for you guys last week or so? That's when I began having the dead air problem.

Me too. I give up. Software says i have good signal strength (the usual 33% stuff) but silence. If I jiggle the antenna around i sporadically get sound for awhile. Possibly a bad antenna. I dunno. I give up. Now that they stream stern, I am (starting today) doing the following: 1) launch...

Does that prog solve the timetrax problem? if so i'd love to try it.

the "Deleted directory" thing might be a red herring. Awhile ago there was a thread about it; the directory vanishes and then comes back (when you quit the program? when it's done recording? cannot recall). I cannot remember if they admitted this happens or not, but I've seen it and it doesn't...

Just ranting. I had a 921 which died, which was bought, not leased. They sent me a 942 to replace it, and a week later i got my 622 in the trade-up deal, and sent back the 921 and 942. A couple weeks later i got two more empty boxes from them, so i called and tech support had no idea what...

Anyone else seeing horrible lipsync problems on ABC? I thought it was just my crappy amp but the other channels seem more or less okay.

well, whatever it was, it's fixed. I now have the 9-day guide. only thing i noticed is when i was poking around looking at signal strength about 10 minutes ago, at first the 110/3 was going crazy (wrong satellite, bad strength, etc.) then it settled down to 75/73 signal strength.

Or maybe just me :-) Woke up this morning and my 721 was stuck in "acquiring satellite." I did a check switch and all was good. Rebooted. Another 10 minutes of acquiring satellite." Finally it came up, and i have only an hour guide, and can skip forward only until saturday (2 days). My...

I am viewing on a 65" mits through component cables and the HD version of nbc looks worse than the SD version. I have no antenna to compare to; is this dish overcompressing or is it the way they broadcast? I can't believe Dish even bothered if this is the way it is supposed to look. The other...

Last night my 721 started "acting funny." Rebooted this morning when channel 11 wouldn't show up. Didn;'t come through the reboot well; froze on "acquiring satellite data." Check switch is fine. My 622 also can't get channel 11. Called dish - got an automated recording about "known problems"...

I haven't RTFM, but i'll ask anyway. Having to press DVR twice to get to the screen we always want to get to on the 622 is very annoying. Is there a way to disable that so pressing DVR goes straight to the available DVR recordings? For that matter, pressing DVR repeatedly should make the...

funkenstein: "legacy just sucks" why? It's already installed (and has been for years, long before dpp existed). It works beautifully. I never get any drop outs and always have signal strengths around 100 (except for 129 which is closer to 80) And that's with over a 150' of rg59! I'm using...

funkenstein - you are wrong. lots of people have dish 1000 with 921's, 942's etc. In my case I have a dish 500 and a second dish pointed at 129, with a sw64 driving a 721 and a 622. Prior to my "install" it was a 721 and a 921. The installer had to do NOTHING except call the number. Because...

I'd like to hook my slingbox to TV2 output and use the slingbox to change channels by sending IR codes to the box. That would be fun. Would be nice even if there was some way to use remote 1 to control tv2. oh, well.

mine finally got "installed." boy, did the installer laugh... "you mean i just need to make the phonecall?"

thanks, i'll give it a try. though at this point the installer is scheduled for tomorrow morning, so the point is nearly moot.

they won't install w/o a tech number. they simply refuse.

148 gives you cbs-hd. all the rest are on 129.
