After reading about the new HD channels on this Forum, I checked and found that I am getting all the 9 new channels. However, BBCA does not appear to be in HD.. the picture quality sucks (like watching a bad VHS tape) and the channel info banner does not have "HD" on the extreme right like all...

I currently have a 622 and a 211. I am eligible for a "Dish'n it up" upgrade. I am trying to decide if I should go ahead and upgrade the 622 to a 722 or if I should wait for the 922. It looks like the 922 has had a very long gestation period (from what I have read on this forum, it was supposed...

I have had my 622 connected to my home network for quite some time now, but never used the remote access feature until now. I just tried remote access and when it loads, the "myDVR" tab is grayed-out. I have checked the setup menu on the 622 and have confirmed that it IS properly hooked-up to...

I have two antennae in the attic (VHF and UHF) combined and feeding the OTA signal to a 622 DVR. Probably because the antennae are not properly aligned, I am not getting a couple of the local digital stations. I was planning on buying a new HDTV antenna or building a coat-hanger antenna (which...

Hi All, I have a ViP 622 dual-tuner DVR feeding an HDTV (TV1) and an analog SDTV (TV2). I have an OTA antenna in the attic. The OTA signal is combined (?diplexed) with the satellite signal and is carried via a single coax to the 622. The same coax also carries the backfeed signal from the...

Just received my replacement Dish 211 receiver from Dish. It is replacing a 211 in which the remote would only work if it was within 2-3 inches from the receiver. With the replacement 211, the range appears to be normal; however, I have noticed that it takes several minutes after the receiver is...

My week-old 211 is already having problems with the remote. The remote doesn't work if it is more than 2-3 inches from the receiver. I thought it was weak batteries so I replaced them with brand new ones but no cigar..Tried the TV1 remote from my 622 - same thing (Only works from 2-3"). Both...

I am thinking of selling a couple of de-activated Dish receivers on ebay. Is it safe to give out the receiver ID and Smartcard numbers? Any risk of the numbers being misused?

I upgraded from a 942 to a 622 a couple of days ago. Since then, I have noticed that I am unable to get any OTA channels on TV2 (I am able to get all the OTA channels on TV1). I am pretty sure that I used to be able to get OTA channels on TV2 on my old 942. Any ideas? (please don't tell me that...

I am upgrading my E* equipment shortly and have a few questions: 1. I currently have a SuperDish + DPP44 switch combo feeding a 942 DVR and an 811 HD receiver. I am currently only getting the basic ($9.99) HD pack. The SuperDish gets the 110, 119 and 121 birds. To get the additional HD...

I posted this over at DBStalk too. Posting it here for additional exposure. Just got off the phone with an E* CSR. I wanted to upgrade my HD programming and the CSR basically said I couldn't do it without sacrificing one of my HDTVs. Read on... I have two HDTVs and one SD TV. I currently have...

Hi all, I am thinking of upgrading my programming to the new DishHD (I currently have the $9.99 HD pack). I was trying to get info on the Dishnetwork website but I am confused by what I read. My question is this: If I subscribe to the AT250 with DishHD, will I get HBO HD, Showtime HD and...

Hi all, I recently had a Dish network satellite system installed (Superdish, 811 and 311). So far I like the 811 (warts and all). My question has really nothing to do with my setup.. I'm not even sure if it is satellite-TV related. So please bear with me on this one. Anyways, since I had...
