    Any remote control setting tricks?

    Or setting on box responce? When I do the 30 sec skip on the remote with the hd dvr, it would be nice when you hit play (when the show is back on while still skipping) if the receiver would jump back a few seconds, to reduce the lag between when the show starts and pressing play. Otherwords...

    My 622 died also three of them!

    My original 622 lasted years but then the HD died. The msg said DVR features would not work error msg. But the 622 still functioned as a non dvr receiver. Just no recordings, pause and all recorded programs were lost-inaccessible. So DISH swapped the unit out. I noticed the replacement said...

    What channels does HD absolute include?

    That is, any SD channels besides the HD channels listed under HD absolute? I'm wondering about channels like C-span and TV-land. Or, is the HD absolute package only the HD channels listed?

    Broadband Setup Feature???

    What does this broadband connection allow or what is it for? Other than it looks like downloading the daily program guide and eleminating the need for a phone connection, as far as I can tell. What else if anything does is it for? Shared viewing between dvr's (which would be nice)?

    Install Question & OTA

    I got dish installed free under the new cust deal three months ago. I already had an HD ota antenna on the roof from the Voom people back when. Now, ABC is online with their local HD tower, but my antenna must not be aimed just right since ABC-HD breaks up and has a sig in the 60's-70's and...

    Reporting in... Happy move from D* to E*

    After playing with my 622 and getting back my voom HD channels, I see leaving D* for E* was the best decision I have made in a while. Many on the D* forum warned me not to leave. And that D* would get all this new HD programming (someday?). But I dumped D* and it was the right move. The 622 is...

    DVR 625 wants to setup TV2 remote???

    On my 625 dvr, often when I power on the unit, it has a msg to press RECORD on the TV2 remote to set it up. I dont have/use a blue TV2 remote in single mode. Is there a way I can stop these nagging msgs from displaying? It seems to think I want to setup a second remote?

    How does the Dvr 622 and Dvr 625 compare???

    How does the Dvr 622 and Dvr 625 compare??? I know one is HD and one SD, but are the menu looks, menu speed about the same? I've been trying to figure my best options to have two "dual tuner" dvr's for two tv's, as a new customer. As a bailing D* customer, dual tuners IS A MUST on both...

    Why is dish so chinchy with receivers?

    Why is it for those with two HD tv's, dish only wants to give you one 622, giving HD to one tv, but SD to the other? And, you're wanting to record/watch HD on both tv's. Getting a HD receiver (non dvr) for the second HDtv is no solution because you maybe can then watch live HD on the second...

    Recording-viewing options on the 622

    Still looking into switching to dish for the HD voom channels. And the drop from 299 to 199 for the 622 is nifty!!! So..... If you are recording off the OTA, can you let that recording continue in the background while you watch a satellite channel on tv1? Also, with the tv1 tv2 setup, if...

    Bottom line - cost $$$

    Ok, I'm looking they the dish builder. Going with HD, it has DishHDgold @ $69 - $20 for 10 months = $50 for ten months. Then it added $5 local channels fees. Then a $5.98 DVR fee. Then "plus taxes" = ??? So the total is $60 + whatever taxes. (for 10 months) Is that it? When the...

    If you have two HDtv's, you're screwed with E*

    Dish doesnt seem to believe people can actually have two HDtv sets. Their "offer" is the 942, hooked to two tv's. This gives HD on one tv, sd on the other. THATS their solution? If you want to record hd, and you have two hdtv's, dish says forget that! Options: two hd receivers. or one 942...

    So, tell me about the 942 DVR

    I know it records HD, has two tuners for satellite, gets ota HD. But, does it allow mulit-room viewing? Record ota hd?
