    4k TV and ViP622

    Interestingly, this 2006 model Philips plasma does not have independent settings for various video inputs. It is the same setting used whether component or HDMI. So I am using the same picture settings on HDMI that I used for component for many years. I may play around with the settings now...

    4k TV and ViP622

    Layman question: are you referring to the picture settings on the ViP622 receiver, or to the picture settings on the TV proper?

    4k TV and ViP622

    Thanks to DISH representative JessicaR, a replacement ViP622 was sent to me. It is now in service, and the HDMI out connection to my TV now works just fine. I think the picture quality on my 9 year old plasma is better with HDMI than with the component cables (have compared from same receiver)...

    4k TV and ViP622

    Thanks. DISH is sending me a replacement ViP622 receiver which (they say) will have a working HDMI out connection. When I looked into this problem in 2006-2007, it seemed that people had their ViP622 replaced by DISH and the HDMI failed on the replacement, etc. So the consensus at that time...

    4k TV and ViP622

    When you connect your UN55JU6500 to your 612 and 722, are you using the HDMI connections (as opposed to component)? The HDMI out of my ViP622 has never worked. Thanks.

    4k TV and ViP622

    I plan to buy a new 4K TV, example: Samsung UN55JU6500. My DISH receiver is a 9 year old ViP622. The HDMI on the ViP622 has not worked since 2006 and I have used component cables ever since to my old plasma TV. Looking for advice such as: Would I be wise to replace the ViP622 'just because'...

    AMC HD on...

    My satellites are 119, 110, and 61.5. However AMC HD does not show up even on the 'All Channels' guide. I do see an AMC 130 without an HD with a green color in the 'All Channels' guide. My subscription is HDAbsolute. Wondering why I do not see this? Thanks.

    Dish Network 21.0 Learning Remote Instructions

    Closed Caption Toggle? Can this new remote be programmed to provide a one-button closed caption toggle? That would make it worth it for me. I have a ViP622. Thanks.

    Statement from Dish Network on VOOM Takedown

    Well, I must say that I had been enjoying many of those VOOM channels that are now gone. I often watrched channels like Gallery, World Cinema, and the concise HDNews. World Cinema had a show on last month called "Box 507" and even subtitled from Spanish, it was a really good 'revenge of the...

    HD Reception Improved with 2nd Dish

    I had been having frequent signal loss with several HD channels on the 129 satellite. DISH made adjustments about a year ago, but signal strengths were always spotty. This week I asked them to come out again and see if there was a way to fix the problem permanently. The arrangement I had was a...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Good thought, thanks. I have been needing them to come adjust the dish on my roof to get more consistent reception on 129 satelllite channels; I get a lot of 'lost signals' on some HD transponders of 129. I will probably wait until after they do that to drop the DHPP.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    This Package Sounds Better... …since my new bill for AT200 just went up by $2.00 this month. Well, I think I am ready to switch to this “HD only” package. I rarely watch any SD channels and stand to save about $35-36/month compared to my most recent bill for AT200 plus locals plus HD, etc...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Q For Those Who Have Switched Already Some posters indicate that certain 'freebie' SD channels have continued along with this HD package. One channel that is vital to me is the NASA channel -- can anyone who has switched to this package confirm whether or not the NASA channel is still included...

    Planet Earth On Discovery HD Theater 3/25/07

    In setting up my DISH ViP622 to record this series, I found that choosing the option to record "New Episode" events does not work because the programming guide shows the first three 'episodes' on tonight (3/25) are "Not New Episodes" and carry an "Original Air Date" of 8/20/2006. I wound up...

    NASA on HDNet - LIVE!

    I got to watch the Discovery deorbit and landing this afternoon, as much of a thrill as the launch. The landing track path was just north of Houston (on the way to Florida) and the NASA announcer had said we might be able to hear the twin sonic booms, and I am pretty sure I heard them right at...
