    622- Episode#/Orig Date is Dark Blue Font

    When I go to the info screeen on any show, the info screen (the semi-transparent one) has the Episode # and Original Air Date in the dark blue font only (the font shadow??) instead of white, which makes it difficult to read. The rest of the info screen looks normal and is perfectly readable...

    My Own Olympic Channel Guide (if anyone cares)

    I made my own handy channel guide for the olympics to help my wife figure out which channels were showing olympic coverage and when. I figured some of you might find it useful as well. I made this for my own purposes, so the local NBC channel is for Cincinnati (which I need OTA to get HD...

    Will Recordings on USB Drive work on replacement 622?

    My 622's internal hard drive bit the dust and DISH is sending me a replacement 622. I realize my DVR recordings on the 622 are gone, but what about my external USB drive? From what I understand, when you try to hook up the external drive to another DISH receiver, you have to reformat it if you...

    Thank God Dish doesn't have HD locals in Ness City, KS

    I cringe to even think about any local footage of this story in HD (or SD for that matter). Reading about it on the MSNBC.com (as well as Fox News and CNN for verification) was bad enough. I realize my feeble attempt to relate this "WTF story" to something DishNetwork-ey is weak , but I...

    VoIP Caller ID via Ethernet Port

    Obviously, Caller ID works on the 622 phone/RJ45 connection (VoIP or traditional phone). I know about all that. But has anyone heard if you can use the Ethernet for VoIP Caller ID or heard any rumors of this being an option in the future? You would have to get your phone service over the...

    Cuban Baseball on HDNET?

    This would be interesting. I wonder if Mark Cuban is able to buy the beloved Cubbies, if he would eventually show them on his network. It sounds like the chances of him owning an MLB team are slim, and it would be even slimmer if he got the rights to broadcast his own team...

    HDMI to Firewire

    Is there an adapter or cable from HDMI to Firewire? Is it possible to go from the 622's HDMI (out) and have it come out the other end of the cable via Firewire? I want to plug my 622 using the HDMI to my iMac. I know there are NTSC/Firewire converters out there, but those only convert...

    Doing the splits....

    I wired my new home so that I have two RG-6 lines going to my entertainment center (w/ 622) from my cable/data/phone hub box in the basement. At the hub is a DP-34 switch. The installer used both of my lines to my 622. (He said he had no choice) Now I want to put in an OTA to pick up local...

    Loophole? (DISHOnline bandwith question)

    I saw an earlier post about DISHOnline affecting maximum limits that may be imposed by an ISP. This got my attention, so I checked with my cable ISP, both by talking to CSR as well as reading the Terms of Use, User Agreement, and Acceptable Use Policy. Both the CSR and my research indicated...

    Can 622 Output Digital Signals via Coax/Antenna Output?

    Does anyone know if the out CATV/Antenna output jack on 622 is digital, in addition to analog? (my guess is no) I didn't see anything obvious in the modulator setup screen. I know that OTA HD uses digital which comes over coax. If not, does anyone know if there is a converter/adapter in...

    Splitter vs. 2 indep. cable jacks (622)

    In my new home, I had the builder install a central hub box for phone, cable, Ethernet. From this hub, I opted for two cable lines/jacks to where my home entertainment system would be. My thinking at the time, knowing that I was going to purchase 622 and may decide to do the two TV feature...

    HD Locals Methodology

    Does anyone know how/why DISH network decides to roll out HD Locals? I see, for instance, Spokane, WA will be broadcast within a week or so, but Cincinnati is not, but is scheduled to be sometime in 2006. Why Spokane now, but not Cincy now? Both are slated to be carried by DISH. How does...
