    Has anyone actually tried leasing 3

    I am guessing only 7 rooms. Once you get the dvr's you tend not to want to give up pip which you will if you enable tv2.

    Already have two leased HD Recv'rs (622 & 211) - Can I get more?

    That is true but this is not a steadfast rule. I have 6 leased tuners on my account though my situation may have played a role in it. I already had a leased 622 and 942 with an owned 6000. When Dish moved voom to mpeg4 I was able to upgrade both receivers (942 and 6000) for two 622's giving me 3...

    622 compression scheme?

    What compression scheme is dish using on the 622? I notice that my ota recordings have shrunk in file size. I also notice that my total recording time fluctuates. I was able to estimate before how much time I had available when recording the mpeg 4 channels as they compressed easier than the...

It seems to be associated with the mediaplex banner ad that runs whenever one is not signed in and returns to the same forum after visiting a post in the same forum. If one changes forums the media...

    Popup Ads

    The ads Vince sees are present when not logged in as a member and they are nasty. Log in as member and they do not appear. I believe your statement above is more correct than others imply. Vince's computer is not infected one of the ads present on this site is causing this. I saw the same popup...

    Dish out again

    In houston all HD locals were out for approx 40 minutes. Sd locals were fine and ota were fine. Trying to call dish resulted in a busy signal. The channels returned shortly after seven. All other 110 channels came in fine.

    L4.03 on 622

    I have noticed that some of my recordings that are protected have issues now. I can play the recorded programs but if I fast forward too much or skip too far ahead my lock shows up and I have to unlock program to continue watching. This did not happen before that I was aware of.

    Letter to CEO...will it help?

    It depends. When I emailed concerning why I only received one credit when returning two receivers, I never received any replies via email or telephone.
