As I posted about a month back, I had to switch to Comcast. If you were ever secretly wondering, wonder no more: Yes, it sucks. :( Anyway, I now have 2 622s that are collecting dust. I guess ebay is the best place. What should I expect as "fair price?" Thanks!

Years ago I had Comcast. Then, I got a Tivo. Later, I moved to DirecTV and a few years after that, Dish. Now, due to the economy and some other factors, I find myself back with Comcast. All I can say is, "Wow." And not a good "wow," either. I knew going in the SA 8300HD was not on the level of...

Sorry if this is a stupid question! I am (for several reasons) having to cancel Dish and get Comcast. (I know...). Anyway, I was wondering what the process is after I call to cancel. Do they "pick-up" the Dish? Or does it stay there? Will they pick up DVRS or will they just send boxes? Thanks...

I am having a 622 replaced for the 2nd time-- though it's been a tleast 8 or 9 month since the first replacement. Several days ago, my 622 started doing just what the previous one had done-- giving me a "no signal" message ever few minutes. Usually, going up one channel and then back would fix...

I have XM in one of my vehicles, just playing it through the tape deck and sometimes the FM transmitter. Sound was never stellar, but really not bad at all. I just bought a new car that came with built-in Sirius. Holy Cow! EVERYTHING on there sounds like a heavily compressed mp3. I'm not an...

I am a former DirecTV customer. I switched to Dish about 2 years ago. LOVE the 622, HATE the lack of HD content and lack of some of the new features of the HD21. Several calls to DirecTV and one to a forum sponsor and so far best I can do (for my set up, which is, admittedly, a little crazy)...

Can someone point me to the best/most recent comparison of HD channels on Dish and DirecTV. I am trying to show my wife what each offers, but can't find a simple direct comparison. Thanks!

Missed recording the first 15 minutes of LOST tonight, as my 622 was simply showing "Digital Service" on all of my OTA major networks. Anyone know what's up with that? I'm in Richmond, VA, which is scheduled to get Sat HD locals soon.. have anything to do with it?

I read an older post stating this. Is it still true? I am considering moving from Dish and my much loved VIP622. I know it will be a step-down, but lack of those two features is more like a long fall!

I am pretty sure I had stuff like this happen with DirecTV as well, but I dunno... I sure haven't had a whole lot of positive experiences with Dish. ANyway, just needed to vent to some folks who can relate! :) (BTW, this is the same letter I emailed to Dish-- wonder if I'll get a call?)...

I thought I was having sat issues when one of my 622s kept getting the "no sat signal" message. Discovered all others in the house were. Checked connections and all were good. Then, I unplugged the unit, waited a few minutes, plugged it back in, and all was good. Is this typical? Just an...

I should have a new, in-box 622 awaiting me when I get home this evening. Got it from what looks to be a reputable guy on eBay. When it arrives, do I merely connect it up (I'm swapping out from an older box, so the cables are already in place) and then place a call to Dish? It should come w/ a...

My house has 2 vip 622s (my folks live with us) and the Dish SD-DVR. I am going to purchase (since I can't get it leased) a new 622. I have 2 questions; will my bill go up when I activate the new box Where is the best place/price to purchase? Not too sure about getting one on eBay...

I'd like to get a 2nd rf remote to go with my Dish box (so I can keep the unit enclosed without buying one of those 3rd party solutions). We use the current rf for the TV that is fed form this one. Will Dish sell/lease a 2nd rf remote?

I have asked this before, but not very well, so bear with me and I will try to figure out what I am trying to say! :) I have 4 TVs in my house (parents live in an in-law suite). Two of the televisions are HD and have VIP 622s. The other two are SD sets. One of them has the regular Dish DVR...

I posted this in the release notes, but I'm thinking that might not have been the right place-- sorry! Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone is having any "new" HDMI issues with the update? Two posters over at AVS are reporting their Panasonic projectors no longer work with Dish (over HDMI) since...

I have a few questions concerning adding a 3rd 622 to my house. We are actually 2 families (my parents in the basement-- it's nicer than that sounds!), but everything is on the one account. Anyway, current set-up is this: Main TV room-- 622 Parents Main TV room-- 622 kids "den"-- basic...

I almost forgot to ask about this, what with the problems with the 622, but I am also now having a problem with my shared SD box (don't have model info with me-- only had it 2 or 3 months, so I guess it's the latest). On the shared tuner, I get picture just fine, but all audio is static. Was...

I say "1 and 1/2" because one OTA channel is gone completely... shows "0%" strength, and the other channel shows "0" for a brief second and then switches back to it's normal strength of 74-75%. The channel that is out completely usually comes in around 89-90%. My 3rd major that I usually...

I've been living with my 622s for a couple of months now and have "made the adjustment" switching from Tivo and my HR10-250. However, one thing is so appallingly awful I thought I would ask about it: does anyone know if there are plans to "fix" the terrible way in which you search for shows...

Does this channel even have more than 6 or 7 programs? I knew that the VOOM stuff was very niche oriented when I switched to Dish, but with 2 small kids, I thought this would be a GREAT niche for us. Looks like I was wrong. After about a month and a half, it looks like they have: UFO (which I...

MPEG artifacts fixed with Mpeg 4? Just wondering if anyone knows if the (IMO) bad MPEG artifacts with the current Dish signal will be improved with the switch to MPEG 4? (I think that's what;s going to happen, right?). I had D* for several years and can't say I ever really noticed any of these...

I have a tech coming out next week. Seems there was a problem with my new install that causes me to constantly have to aquire data on the HD channels. I have 2 dishes installed. When I called Dish Suppport, they said I had a "strange issue" since my set-up shows I am getting 119, 110, 129...

Just switched over to Dish this week and overall I am very happy with the change. I really like the 622 (and this from a long-time "Tivo or death!" guy), but I have noticed a few things that am am wondering about. While the picture on my TV (a 50" plasma) looks MUCH better than D* on all SD...

I have never had a smooth install. Not with cable. Not with D*, and now, not with Dish. I called to order. Was told install on the 13th. Called back next day to ask a questions, was told my date was the 25th. Not that it had been changed, but that it had ALWAYS been the 25th, I didn't argue--...
