    Dish ViP 622 Issue

    Hey everyone, I want to see what your opinion is on a problem I just started having with my 622. For the past couple days, i can be watching any channel, including DVR items, and the screen will go back to the lost signal screen, but there is no sat number, only a transponder number. The odd...

    ViP 622 Wiring Question

    YES! Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I am guessing that does something extra that a "splitter" would do?

    ViP 622 Wiring Question

    I think this is what I was looking for.... both feeds from the 1000+ are coming into the same exact place on my wall in the living room downstairs. I would rather not punch any more holes in the house if I dont have to. So what you are saying is that I can diplex the 2nd feed from the 1000+...

    ViP 622 Wiring Question

    Hey everyone, I need some help/answers to a question I have about my 622 and the 2nd room output. Here is my layout. I have the Dish 1000+ with two lines coming from the switch down into my living room. I have a townhome, and it is just me and my wife, so the two room output setup has been...

    Question On 622 And Dish Setup

    I am not sure off the top of my head if we use 118.7 here or not. I do already have a 1000+ and a 622, and had to goto the 1000+ for my locals, so I am guessing we are on the 118.7 sat.

    Question On 622 And Dish Setup

    Thanks for all of the information guys! So am I right in thinking that if I only want one dish, then it has to be the 1000+ to get the HD stuff, otherwise i would have to get a 1000 or a 1000.2, plus a Dish 500 to get everything. But you are saying if I went the 2 dish route it would not need...

    Question On 622 And Dish Setup

    I have a question on setting up a new 622 and a new 1000 Plus dish. If I only planned on having the one 622, do you need the DPP44 switch as well? Or would you only need to add that on if you started adding more receivers?

    Quick Question On Shared VS. Dual View Modes

    I believe that is what I am looking for. So there is nothing to do for the UHF remote to control TV1 when in single mode? It just works out of the box? If so that would be great.

    Quick Question On Shared VS. Dual View Modes

    I have a question... I have had the 622 for quite a while now, and never really ever put the unit it shared mode. It it just myself and my fiancee living in our home, so it was always nice to be able to have two TV's watching two different things. Well, now with the new software giving PiP...

    I too am in Charlotte and are also having the problem with my HD locals. Something tells me this problem may not be on the top of the list to be fixed by E*!

    Not sure... not at home right now and wont be until late tonight. I did go through all of the Sats last night looking at those... dont remember the exact numbers, but I am pretty sure it was in the top 3/4's of the bar... The only one that was low was 129, but im used to that. Interesting that...

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    Tell me about it. And let me make it stranger! So I tried a longer power down reboot to see if that would fix it... no dice. But, I did play with it and I have narrowed things down some. It seems I only have DVR function problems with my HD locals. I can time shift things like Food and...

    Picture quality since 401

    I have not had time to really sit and compare the PQ on all the TV channels, but after seeing what you posted I did notice that my guides seemed blurry in spots. I have a bunch of other issues from 4.01 that are way worse than a blurry guide!

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    I am running a 1000+ and the single ViP622. Connected to the ViP is my Samsung TV through HDMI, and I have other TV's in the house using the RF Modulation to get their picture. I know I have a switch up on the roof, but I have no clue as to what it is. I have had this 622 for at least a year...

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    Ok, so it looks like i may be one of the (un)lucky people who got the new update. At first everything seemed cool, I like the fact that the HD is next to the SD channel in the guide. But then I went to try and watch a taped show... no go. Any show in HD that I had is unwatchable. It just...

    Charlotte, NC HD Locals

    Ok, so I got my 1000+ installed today... just sat down to watch things, but of course there are no shows on right now that are in HD. Had a lot of fun with the installers... they said that where my current 1000 dish was would not work for the 1000+ and they had to move it. So they moved it...

    Charlotte, NC HD Locals

    Ok, you were right, she was on crack. Had I let them "repoint" my dish, I would gained my HD locals, only to loose all of my other HD channels. The second guy I talked with was much more informed. Got the 1000+ install setup for Feb 11th. Cost me 59.95 to upgrade the dish. Ill post up once...

    Charlotte, NC HD Locals

    Ok, so I just got off the phone with a CSR, and they have me set up for a repoint on Feb 10th. She is telling me that yes, it is true that the CLT HD locals were on 118.75, and yes, I only have the 1000 dish, but no, I did not need the 1000+ as they could just repoint from the 129 location over...

    Charlotte, NC HD Locals

    So I saw on one of the posts that Dish is finally turning up the HD locals for Charlotte, NC. I also saw on there that it required the 1000+ dish... I have the 1000 dish, but how do I tell if I have the + one? If I do not have the + dish, would that be something Dish would upgrade at no charge...

    August - the Month of new HD?????

    I agree with everything you are saying, and you are right, people do have the right to complain about E* just adding and adding HD at the expense of quality, which defeats the purpose of HD. But to complain that this channel should be added before this channel etc etc is just pointless. On...

    August - the Month of new HD?????

    Get my facts together? I think I have history on my side on this one. Granted, E* does not have any extra bandwidth right now, but that certainly is not going to be the case forever. Improvements and advancement of technology will take care of that. So complaining about one channel getting...

    August - the Month of new HD?????

    Yes, but at some point everything will be in HD... its just like everything else out there. There will come a time that it will cost more to broadcast in SD, or to even record in SD, so things will transition to HD all over. I could see even the "SD" only channels being broadcast on an "HD"...
