    Error 04 on vip622...what's going on?

    Here's what the message says: "Error 04. A problem has been detected with your switch. To continue to use your receiver, you must run the "Check Switch" test, available by selecting "Dish Install" option in the installation and setup menu" This is the message where I hit OK and it goes right...

    Error 04 on vip622...what's going on?

    Since a few days ago, my 622 has started popping up w/ error message 04 (something wrong w/ your switch, run check switch...blah blah) constantly. There is no disruption in signal, just keeps saying my switch is bad. I've ran check switch a million times, reset the receiver another million...

    I Don't Want The New Software!

    That's true. Guess I'll see what happens when my takes the upgrade...whenever that will be.

    I Don't Want The New Software!

    So what bad stuff have you heard? Anyways, the receiver takes the update through the dish, not the phone line, right? Also, I still haven't been updated...is that something to worry about, or just it's gonna take a bit to get everyone going? I want side-side PIP!!!!!

    Single channels from a package?

    Oh well...it was worth a shot. So I was right that they will provide single channels, just the one I want isn't on the list. Thanks anyways guys.

    Single channels from a package?

    I'm probably going to get the answer I don't want, but...is there any way to get Dish to give you one channel for a price? They do it for locals, so any way to do it for others? I specifically want WGN so I can watch Cubs games, but I don't want any of the other channels that come with it on...

    Phillipenes for CSR

    Are you going to stop watching Dish solely because the CSRs aren't sitting in Oregon, Idaho, Florida, etc (i.e. are American and can speak frickin English)? They do it because they can.

    No audio on January 9 "House" from either 622

    I had no problems, but wasn't using OTA...so maybe that was the culprit.

    All except 129 LNBF working; Why?

    Just a thought...my actual elev is about 6 degrees higher than what Dish said it would be. So, just b/c yours is supposed to be 36.2 or whatever doesn't mean that measurement will work. I spent forever trying to get 129 in on my 1000, then one day I said @#$# it and just started randomly...

    All except 129 LNBF working; Why?

    Why not try putting the 129 LNB on the 1000? If you get 119 on the 1000, then 129 should also come in, or be very easy to find. Seems like you're making it much harder on yourself by having to wrestle w/ a 2nd dish when the first one will do. Also, a sat meter is a big help...even the cheap...

    side by side PIP 622

    Feb! Son of a bitch...I want it now! Which probably means it'll happen in, oh, about 6 months.

    Ok I'm Getting Ready to Change My Service Address

    I'm getting Denver too...I have no complaints for the most part (though ABC does go tits up on quality once in a while, but not enough to really complain about).

    622 == Battlestar Survivor

    This problem pisses me off so much. Countless times the DVR says "simpsons" or "family guy" or whatever, but then it's the frickin news, or some completely different show. Ubelieveable they would have such a gross overlook in QA.

    Ok I'm Getting Ready to Change My Service Address

    Are you using a 1000? (is that the only real way for HD? I'm not sure). If so, tons of HD locals are on the 129 sat, so you can get them anywhere in the US where you can get 129 signal (which includes Idaho I'm fairly certain). No having to worry about spotbeams and all that crap. Just "move"...

    What is your Favorite E* hd chnl?

    Definitely ESPN/ESPN2, sometimes TNT and RUSH (can't get enough of the skiing/boarding...reminds me how much I hate Oklahoma!!!). Otherwise, I could care less about Food, Kung Fu, HGTV, whatever the hell else they have on there. I guess Dish has done a decent job of trying to provide a...

    My customer service experience was a nightmare... :(

    Most likely. In this day and age, if you have an HDTV and receiver, why the heck shouldn't you get the major networks in HD (albeit HD-lite *sigh*)? I'd be willing to bet most people who say "quit complaining" about the "moving" stuff probably already have their locals in HD...well some of us...

    622 PiP feature

    Man, that'd be great...then I could watch the Vols play like a bunch of girls on one half while watching Texas totally blow it on the other half! Yes!! :D

    Question about DHPP

    I'm still a little confused on this...are the receivers (622) still replaced for free while under lease (minus s/h of course)? I'm paying for DHPP, but if all it does is give me free shipping on a new receiver, then who cares? I don't care about service calls b/c i will NEVER have one. At 6...

    Does anyone have any info as to when and if OKC market get Locals in HD??

    Probably Dec at best...just "move" for now, and then "move" back when they actually do go HD. I wouldn't wait on it for now.

    Denver Market: KMGH (ABC) audio sync?

    Have you guys also just noticed it on ABC? I swear it's only ABC that's so screwed up and not any of the other channels. Even when watching football, ABC starts getting all pixelated some times and my first thought is: "crap, the sig strength on 129 just went to sh*t", but then I realize every...

    Denver Market: KMGH (ABC) audio sync?

    I noticed that too...I think it was last week that Grey's was messed up...I don't watch the other shows. Out of all the Den channels, I notice ABC seems to have the most problems (vid, audio, etc).

    Audio and Video not in Sync on 622

    I noticed this too on a few programs...however, it only happened on a couple recorded simpsons (like 2-3 sec lag...AHH!) and once on a Grey's Anatomy (but only like 0.5 at worst...still). I'd still say 98% of TV is fine. Maybe it's just the programming and not the 622. I guess since I've only...

    What is the FSN HD holdup?

    I'm sure it is...just hard for me to see it, but then again I'm sure there's plenty of people who can't see why there needs to be 2 ESPNs in HD. Those poor misled souls! ;)

    What is the FSN HD holdup?

    No sh*t...home and garden HD, are you fvcking kidding me? Man, thank God I can watch some woman decorate her home in HD...wow the wallpaper colors are just so vibrant! :confused:
