I thought I was losing my mind for a minute. I was watching a show I recorded a year ago and moved to the EHD. I usually skip commercials, but got distracted and let some play. I was listening and could have sworn there was an MSNBC commercial about the last Presidential Debate in LV, NV. I...

So today I tried to order Gravity VOD 1080P and all I got was 1080i. I started by renting it via the remote to see if it liked my TV. When I checked the resolution, my TV said it was 1080P. I then canceled the rental as I have a certificate and needed to order it online to use the...

A couple of months ago I was given a new 722 because I was losing recordings (error code 4). When I got the replacement all seemed well until I went to transfer the oldest recordings to the EHD. I noticed that none of the ones selected registered in the amount selected area. They also...

Last month I had my 722 replaced because I kept losing recordings. They wouldn't start and would leave me at a black screen. Going back in I got an error 05 for those recordings and had to delete them. Dish sent me a replacement 722 as they claimed the drive was bad and all seemed okay for a...

Okay, for years I've been using the 6.x series UHF remotes with our 722 units. Two of them started acting up, so we finally called Dish and had them replaced. What we were sent were the newer 21.1 remotes. Upon setting them up, we noticed that they are much less responsive and over half the...

As of a few weeks ago I've been unable to access on-demand from my receivers. I contacted dish and after a few calls they decided the issue wasn't on their end and to contact Time Warner. I contacted them earlier this evening and after going around in circles for an hour, they transferred me...

My broadband connection is set up (has been for years). It has an assigned IP and passes the broadband connection test. Yesterday I tried to access dish platinum and got the normal screen, but it wasn't populated with the lists. I backed out and tried the TV section and when I tied to list by...

I just connected the Netgear USB wireless to a 622 and decided to test it by streaming a movie. All went well for the test and I didn't want to watch the movie anymore, so I hit the "stop" button. This took me back to live TV, but didn't stop the download. I went back in to see if there was...

The Blockbuster distribution center for DVDs is in the same city as Netfllix, yet they take 3 days longer to process DVDs and mail them. For example my Netflix DVDs are mailed on Wed, they get them Thu, mail out next batch same day and I get them on Friday. That's a 3 day process. With...

I really hate some of the changes made in the latest firmware. The one that ticks me off the most is the local channel mapping in the guide. Previously I had it off so only my OTA HD channels showed up at the top of the guide with the local channel numbers. Now all of the Dish provided...

I have a 250G WD in a USB 2.0 enclosure that nets roughly 36MB/s transfer as tested by HD Tach on my PC. However, when it is connected to my 722, it has a transfer speed of roughly 3.6MB/s sending to the receiver and about twice that trasfering from the receiver to the EHD. It takes about 30...

About every 4 to 6 weeks my guide data goes missing. A majority of the entrys are "no info available" and navigating with the remote allows up and down movement, but trying to move sideways only goes to the end of the visible screen. I can put in a time and move right, but it still doesn't...

I have my 722 on a shelf just below my Toshiba HD DVD player and whenever the DVD player is on, the UHF remote for the 722 is very picky about orientation. If I point it one way, it won't work. If I point it only a few degrees left or right it will work most of the times. Other times I have...

What is it with installers thinking they can just do anything they like to get someone set up! My mother manages a building and has just noticed that several tenants have direct tv and the installers never notified her they were doing the install. To make matters worse, each of the installs...

Lately I've been having problems using the skip back button while watching recorded programs. While I haven't timed it, skip back will move back about 10 seconds and skip forward will move forward about 30 seconds. More often than not now, the skip back will not go back, but instead, go...

Hope all is well with everyone..... Lately my 622 has been losing signal for all OTA HD channels. It will be working fine one moment, then I'll get the yellow box telling me that the signal has been lost. If I change channels (to another OTA) I get the same message. If I go into the...

So I called to find out why I lost my CBS HD East when I was told I wouldn't since I live in LA and it is a CBS owned station as is CBS in NY. No issues with commercials as they both show the same ones (something like the commercials being national and not local/location specific). Anyway...

Okay, I've read many posts about TPs and how the signal can (possibly) be increased by picking the right one. So with this limited info I went to the signal section of my vip622 and noticed that changing the TP I was able to increase my signal. Only thing is (and this is where my lack of...

Haven't used my 942 much since getting the 622, but earlier I was sitting in the room I moved the 942 to. I have a timer to record all new episodes of Monk on USA and when I looked over the recorded events, I saw three recordings in a row for Monk. When I viewed each one, they turned out to be...

I recently had been upgraded to D1000 and having a dish at 61.5, got the DPP44 installed as well. The switch was attached to the base of the D1000 and therefore exposed to the elements. I live is So Cal and the Summer days can get over 100f and the rainfall can be of decent amounts. So here's...
