And lose my CD changer though, right? Don't want to do that.

I just discovered today that the volume control on my unit doesn't change the volume at all. Very weird. I turn it all the way down or up and it's the same, the only thing I can change is the car stereo volume.

I'm stuck with FM modulation as my only option-no cassette player, and no aux in jacks in the back. I need something stronger, I get a lot of static!! And it looks very difficult to get back there to do one of those wired FM relay things.

I thought this was already active.

The 622 won't show guide data unless you subscribe to locals.

I would guess it could be a negotiation and accounting nightmare. Kinda like it is now! :D

Is there some sort of cheap FM transmitter that I can plug in to just amplify the signal of the modulator or better distribute it? I can't do the wired thing, I took apart the dash and there's not enough room to make it work and still plug in the actual FM antenna of the car.

Was brainstorming today at lunch. The main reason D* and E* can't provide out of market network affiliates just anywhere they wish is to protect the advertising revenue of in-market stations. I don't have a problem with local stations wanting to remain profitable. Why not allow some type...

Sounds like they're doing the same thing with their quality that GM, Ford, and Chrysler did in the 70s/80s...take a good technology and cheapen it up making it crap in the process.

I don't mind the suction cup mount, I really have nowhere else to mount it where it wouldn't block something else (CD, vent, clock, heat/AC controls, etc.) It's a Streamer GT. I think the problem may just be a very weak FM signal. I don't even have anything plugged into the FM jack, it's just...

Does the 1280i/1080 actually make the picture closer to 4:3 than 16:9?

It's at max.

That's an interesting theory, Sarang. Perhaps when HD-DVD and BluRay reach higher market penetration levels, people will start noticing how crappy the D* and E* HD channels are, forcing them to actually do something about it.

I just installed it tonight with NOTHING out the FM jack, and while the volume is lower than the terrestrial stations at the same volume level, it's totally listenable. I do plan to get the FM adapter this next weekend though.

It appears E* has more channels in HD...D* has more QUALITY...is that right? I've read several places that both HD and SD picture quality on DISH, esp. LiL locals, has seriously degraded the last few months.

Would you say that even with fewer channel offerings D* has better QUALITY HD than E*?

That aside, it's good to have a backup either way.

May be true, but if you do it that way, no DVR of OTA locals. Plus, it's a pain to switch back and forth, I'd rather have everything right there under the same interface between local and satellite.

40 channels? Like DISH's national offering? Or do they just mean LiL HD's?

Just got my Sirius plug-and-play unit last night, plugged it in and plopped the antenna on the roof just to test it. Signal strength was at 100%. Questions though: -I had the FM transmitter set to an empty station to test it out, and it was a tad fuzzy as I moved the unit around the car...

Do the subchannels show on the EPG on your 622?

A friend of mine had a good idea. Use white cable for the antenna, and black for the dish. That way, when you're in the basement screwing around you know what's what right away. As far as the issue of the cable being visible, his house is sided in white so it was a non-issue.

Any overall comparisons? From what I've seen, the HR20 does have a better interface, and better integration of OTA locals (now that they FINALLY enabled it) than the 622 does. Also, IIRC doesn't the 622 only show EPG data for stations that are included in your own locals subscription? IOW...
