    Hopper With Sling, Optical Audio Cutting Out

    What about ditching the HDMI out and going with component and optical audio? Is there still an issue then? Getting ready to upgrade from 922. This may be a deal killer for me as my receiver does not pull audio from HDMI, it only passes picture.

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Here's a chat I just had with online CSR. I contacted them because it won't let me sign up to request DVD's by mail. As the CSR says...this is all very "Unfortunate" Brandon (ID: V8G): Unfortunately, I see this is not yet available on your current receiver. This is currently available on our...

    Is the 922 free yet?

    Just got it for free w/ new 24 mo commitment. Still requires a tech install, which could've happened as early as tomorrow, but I'm working, so it will be Monday.

    922 pros and cons

    I'm looking to upgrade from a 622 soon. Been reading a ton of posts on here, but have a couple of questions. Are all of the TV1 outputs on the 922 live at the same time? (can I use HDMI and Component at the same time?) Does TV2 now function like the rest of the dual receivers? What about on...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to take this HD that wont work with my receiver and use a friends Hauppauge HD PVR to archive my recordings. That way I wont get any horror stories of the receiver suddenly telling me the HD needs to be formatted. If anyone is interested I'll let you know how...

    External Hard Drive Archive Bug Thread

    I just bought a WD My Passport Essential. I have formatted it 3 times since connecting it to my receiver, but my 622 keeps telling me the drive needs to be formatted. Is this because the drive is only powered via USB? If I connect it to a hub will it solve the issue? Guess I might be out $70...

    TV1 Simultaneous Output?

    On my 622 my TV is hooked up with HDMI but I can hook up a 2nd display via Component or A/V connections on the TV1 output and mirror simultaneously. Is this the case on the 922? This is the make or break for me on the 922.

    NHL Center Ice

    Sorry what I meant was if I have to drop HD Absolute and add an Americas Top plus HD pacakge then I might as well switch. I know CI is the same price no matter what provider. Direct may have those additional RSN's in HD, but are they going to turn them on regularly for CI? Comparing last...

    NHL Center Ice

    Can I get CI with an HD only package? If so, which one? I'm grandfathered in right now on the old HD Absolute. If it costs me an arm and a leg to add CI then I may switch to Direct. However, I would certainly miss my Avs pre and post game shows.

    VS HD NHL ALert

    Good luck trying to get a game on 9468 to record properly though. Of course I guess the Masters is over now, so it shouldn't be an issue. But yes it was nice to have the live HD hockey instead of pre-recorded HD interviews and highlights.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    What about those of use that have packages like NHL CI? I wonder how that will work. Will I still get the SD games when HD is not available? Also, would I get the games on my local RSN if I don't have access to it with the HD only package? (They currently get blacked out on the CI channels.)

    Will SD ever look like SD?

    Interesting that I hadn't even read this thread before... But I have noticed a significant difference in NHL CI SD quality this year. I had it last year and SD was fine most of the time, but this year it is awful! So I emailed as well (like I said I hadn't even seen this thread, so it is a...

    it's the beginning of the season and these things don't get updated that far in advance. i remember last year that you could only count on the guide being accurate the day before, or the day of. and the online schedule was usually never updated very far in advance.

    NHL Center Ice Renewal...

    "Also, nothing on Prime Ticket HD (west) at 9am on Sat so I keep hoping they might slide the Kings/Ducks game in there. But knowing the NHL we will probably get it in SD. I am honestly considering just waiting til later and watching the replay on HDNET." I believe it is being carried live by...

    Do you notice a difference in XM Sound?

    Now instead of sounding like horrible internet radio, XM just sounds like internet radio. Still sounds very compressed in my opinion. Highs still aren't good, but low end is a little better. P.S. I currently have a free trial subscription which i will not renew, so don't flame me for giving...

    Question for Las Vegas Residents

    Does anyone have FSN West (ch 417) and FSN West2/Prime (ch 411)? They are offered both on Cox and DirecTV in this area. I called a few months back and had a CSR tell me I was wrong that I was not in the broadcast area to receive FSNW2. So today for fun I did a local channel search with my...

    What is leased receiver fee for?

    "I love when people don't know anything and then say "this is crap"... it never gets old. Get educated, then decide if it's crap or not. Best advice yet on this post is if you don't like the fee buy one. But seriously, you have an hd tv and a 622, and you are bitching about a 6$ fee?? I just...

    What is leased receiver fee for?

    I have one...yes only one receiver a 622 and I have been getting charged a leased receiver fee of $6 each month. I spoke with a dish CSR in January and he said that I should only get charged that if I have more than one receiver and he said he removed the charge. Well guess what I'm still...
