After reading here about 1080p, I tried this today on my 622. The screen went black. I changed channels; could see the osd and hear channel audio, but no picture on any channel. Went back to 501 and the movie (Iron Man) was working and my display said 1080p. Looked great. I then...

I'm setting up room 2 for the first time in the year+ that I've had the 622. I cannot find my manual. Can someone point me to an online copy of the 622 manual, or tell me how to set up remote2 to controll via IR my philips tv? I've searched the forums and have not found this. Thanks in...

I just set up TV2 on my vip 622. The room2 remote does not seem to work, via either IR or uhf. the sat button on the remote lights when I press a button on the remote, but the vip622 does not respond. TV2 blue led does not turn on. I've set the 622 to dual mode. The remote uhf reciever...

I'm setting up a 622 with a xantech IR extender system. The 622 seems to work intermittantly at best. Where is the IR receiver on the 622? I presume that it is one of the 3 plastic dots on the front. Does anyone know which one? Is there any reason that a 622 won't work well with xantech...

Just looked at my first bill. What is this $11.96 DVR service fee? What service are they providing? They had me buy my DVR. They are not providing the DVR as part of the service, that's why I had to purchase it in addition to a programming commitment. This made this very clear when I...

I'm new to Dish and the VIP 622. I'm a former comcast customer and must say that overall I prefer both the Dish hardware and dish service to Comcast's. The one thing that I p[referred about the comcast DVR is that when FF'ing, then hitting play it did a very good job of starting where you...

I'm a new dish subscriber. I have the Bronze package and am using an off air antenna for locals in HD (Less money and no compression). My problem is that the guide does not work for anyting off of my off air antenna. It says "Digital Service" or something like that, but does not show guide...

Last Newbie question for the night. hopefully I'll be ready to pull the trigger on a new system by the weekend. I am leaning toward a 120cm. What are the advantages of a prime vs offset focus dish, of the same size? Is one gainier than the other? I know that a prime focus dish can do...

Is there a faq or diseq primer I could read to bone up on this? I understand how voltage and tone can switch a universal lnb, but do not understand diseq. Would also line to understand about the diferrent versions of diseq, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc. Are the higher ones backwards compatible with the...

I spend a lot of time in Europe. I know that there is a lot of FTA here (I use Hotbird a lot). I also know that there is a lot of pay TV here that you can buy legit cards for, from the broadcasters. I've bought them for CNBC to be added to Sky Digital DBS service and for RTV to use in a blind...

I'm getting ready to invest in a FTA system. I'm going to purchase a motorized 120cm dish and a reciever with component video output. I've read the reviews and discussions of these three recievers (Mercury II vs Coolsat 5000 vs Pansat 3500SD). While reading each of the reviews, the subject...
