    Is there any interest in old receivers?

    Like the title says, any interest in, or market for old receivers? From my thread over the last couple weeks, I have a 622 in need of a HD, plus working 508 and old 2700 & 4500 (the last two model numbers might be wrong). I hate to just toss them...

    Request - HOWTO: for Roku/AMC

    I see a nearly 300 page thread on the Dish/AMC fiasco. It has devolved into a corporate greed discussion and how the same situation can happen with any provider. I would kindly request that nothing like that be discussed here. What I would like to document here is how to get going with the...

    ERD HELP! No longer recognized!

    ViP 622 Video Out question

    Hi there. I've got a ViP622 hooked up to a 50" Panny Plasma via HDMI. I'm now considering adding a SlingBox Solo. It accepts composite, SVideo, and component inputs. Does the ViP622 provide output to both the component and HDMI simultaneously, or will I (GASP!) have to use...

    Moving ERD/HDD recordings on 622 success! (and other thoughts)

    Just wanted to post an update here folks. Back in January, I asked if there was a way to move recordings from one ERD/HDD to another (see thread here). Well, it was a long process over this past week off and on (mostly due to my inexperience with Linux), but by using Knoppix I was able to...

    Local channels missing on new receivers

    I currently have a 622 and 508 with the DVR Advantage pack and Philly locals. All are fine. I added two DP301's and the locals aren't coming in - either at the high channels, or the remapped channels. The receivers have been on for about an hour since activation. Any ideas why? (I don't...

    ViP622 Optical Audio out problem

    I've got the 622 hooked up to my Pioneer VSX-816K (7.1) and output from DVD, FM, CD, etc. are solid. Audio on DVD/CD is via optical. Audio on 622 is optical also, but I have to turn the receiver up nearly 4-6x higher on satellite to get the same "listening level". I really don't know what the...

    HBO Upgrade - Cold call from Dish - Worthwhile?

    Hey all, I just got a cold call from a Dish Network marketer in Colorado. Said if I upgraded to HBO through them, I could get 9 HBO channels (I guess HBO E/W, HBO2 E/W, Family, Comedy, HD, Signature, & Latino) for $9/mo. She also said they are ALL in HD. My question - do those of you who...
