    Dish guide listed midnight Olympics "closing party" as a rerun.

    So what I learned at the end of my recording of the closing ceremonies is that a part 2 entitled closing party aired at midnight. However the dish guide did not list that program as the closing party, instead as a rerun of the london gold special that aired at 7. I know dish doesn't program...

    Receiver unresponsive when timer starts while fast forwarding or rewinding . Long time problem, sick

    This has been a long time issue I've had with my 622 ever since I first got it. If you are fast forwarding or rewinding a program and a timer to record begins, the receiver will become unresponsive and continue fast forwarding or rewinding without you being able to stop it. It will become...

    622 having trouble detecting external hard drive.

    This doesn't happen often, only twice so far, but it just started recently. When I connect a hard drive my 622 shows that no external hard drive is connected. I unplug everything from everywhere and try again and still not detected. I try another hard drive and it also won't be detected...

    Flickering screen on HBO channels on all my receivers.

    Here's something new. When on an HBO channel and you exit from any overlay screen, say browse, guide, or menu, you'll see the whole screen flicker. This happens on all my receivers, 211, 612, 622. Go ahead and try it I bet you'll see the same thing. No other channels do this, at least from...

    External HDD question

    Can you move an External HDD between a 612 and 622? Even if you already had another HDD that you always use with the 622? Also, just to be sure, the 612 can record one live show while watching a different live show right?

    Paladia, HD Theater and Encore HD now part of Platinum

    Just an FYI for those planning to drop Platinum. Paladia and HD Theater being added to Platinum had been rumored so I was expecting that loss. Encore HD was news to me, but that's no big loss.

    Someone is screwing with the DISH guide information (Ellen related)

    The descriptions for today's and tomorrow's Ellen DeGeneres Show say "What will Ellen DeGeneres, the world's funniest and sexiest woman, do today?" And the descriptions for today's and tomorrow's American Idol say "American Idol starring Ellen DeGeneres and some other people." If you look at...

    Guide starting to burn-in on my HDTV, any fix?

    My guide has been burning-in on my HDTV when I leave it open for at least a minute or so. I can see the lines from the guide on the picture, but then they eventually start to fade away and by the next morning they're gone only to come back again when i re-open the guide. It's an LCD and I've...

    Does the Guide download more days when you have an EHD?

    I thought I remember reading that your guide will download more days of programming when you have an External Hard Drive attached. I've had the hard drive for 2 days now, but the guide still goes the same 8 days. Do I have to turn this feature on somewhere or does this feature not exist?

    Question about service technician fees

    Is there a fee for a service technician if the problem deals with the alignment and tightness of the dish on the roof which is giving you a low signal strength causing your picture to break up? I called Dish and they insist I must pay $100 or subscribe to the $5.99 a month warranty plan.

    Everyone should downgrade to $10 HD today.

    Just to get the message across to Dish that their VOOM garbage is not enough and we want NEW HD. We do not want to pay $20 for LESS channels than you can get with DirecTV for $10. I suggest when you downgrade you tell the representative that the lack of new HD channels is the reason.
