    Can the HDTV light be turned off on 922?

    Man that light is BRIGHT!!! When I am watching a BluRay the HDTV moniker is unbelivably bright. Is there a menu item whereby that blasted light can be turned off?!!:mad:

    32 remote is a step backwards

    Why do you need an IR immiter when the 922 comes with one. You just have to turn it on.

    922 pausing every two to three minutes?

    Problem is, since I rebooted it does not happen as often. Tonight I have been watching recorded shows from USA and CBS (OTA) and they do not seem to be doing the pause bit. When It starts doing it I will video the process and download it. Give me a day or two -- it usually does not take...

    922 pausing every two to three minutes?

    Well, I now have my 922 pausing every two to three minutes for about 10 to 15 seconds before it continues what I am watching. I do watch most of my tv on the DVR as I can zip past the pesky commercials but it also happens during live broadcasts. While I was watching the Lakers/Thunder...

    Video output resolution

    All settop boxes (satellite and cable) will only output at the resolution you chose. AVR's with upconvert chips in the HDMI channel do the same thing as does your tv set. Depending on your set (720p, 1080i, 1080p) what resolution you chose is what your set will show. If you chose 720p then...

    It just works, Not!

    It is my understanding - and from the Tech that set up my install - that the second TV ability will be coming in June with a Slingbox add-on to your second HDTV. This will allow you to watch anything you have recorded on the 922 on the second HDTV in HD! My wife is excited about this because...

    Woops!! Can't Create New Folders! Help?

    Then how do you turn it on? I have serveral epidodes of LOST and DR WHO and they are not in a folder -- they are shown in the NO FOLDER as individual episodes and not in a folder by themselves. Am I missing something?

    Woops!! Can't Create New Folders! Help?

    Well -- thanks Breser. :) I do indeed have 5 user defined folders. Why is there a limit on that? And why can I not have Sub Folders inside the Folders? Seems like a silly limitation. On the 622 Folders were automatically created if you recorded more then one episode per timer. Why does...

    Woops!! Can't Create New Folders! Help?

    I love the new 922. Love the interface, really like the guide in HD and best of all I like how the DVR sets up new recordings and allows you to have them saved in folders created at the time you set up the timer. :love However---I was editing my recordings and while in the NO FOLDER...

    The NBA Playoffs are SO much better than the NCAA tournament

    Back when you had kids staying in school until they graduated and freshman did not play -- college ball was exceptional but now? One and dones have destroyed any reasonable level of play from college teams. Most majors are getting use to having one and dones come and play and then take off...

    My friend is already regretting getting a 922

    Hi guys, just wanted to pass this on as a FYI. During my installation of the Eastern Arc dish and 922 the installer and I had a very interesting conversation about installs. It seems that a week ago he went out on a service call for an install and he was the third installer on this...

    New 240Hz HD set...should I upgrade HDMI cables?

    The loading of the disc is alot quicker (Panasonic is quoting .5 sec times) but the actual booting up of the media is still being hampered by no memory on board by most of the Blu Ray manufacturers. There are a few Blu Ray players coming out this year - primarily the 3-D ones - that have...

    92 UHF vs IR

    My Harmony One was set for the VIP622 and it works great with the 922. You must go to Menu then Settings then Remote Control then activate the IR Control button. If your Home theater remote was working with any of the previous Dish DVRs it will work with the 922. That being said, I set up the...

    Woke up Sunday and everything works well. Watching HDMV on the computer right now while I am typing this. On using the Home Theater remote with the 922. If it was working with the Dish DVR that you are replaciing then all you have to do is go into the Remote Setting under Settings in the...

    The Official "Yay I got my 922 installed" thread.

    I called Friday afternoon and had mine installed this morning (Saturday). Installer was here at 8am!! At first the CSR had me paying $385!! She appologized and told me that she could not do anything because that was what her software was saying. She also said that I had to be on Eastern...

    Official 922 Release Notice

    Scott, how much is the OTA tuner? In addition, the very idea of recording on the 922 and being able to watch in HD in the bedroom without moving the reciever is great!! Also, my 622 is begining to sound like a jet taking off after about 2 hours of watching and I am begining to get alot of...

    Best FREE Antivirus Software?

    I have used AVG in the past and the only problem is that it is a basic virus scanner -- no spyware or malware in the free program. If you want that support from AVG you have to purchase the full product. The only program out there that is free and does it all is Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Maybe new to Dish, should I wait for 922?

    I had a conversation on Feb 11th with a CSR about the new HD (I was on 61.5) and I asked about the 922 and was told that it would not be available for the public until April.:(

    Why does 129 look better then 61.5 (PQ)?

    All the new HD recently motivated me to move my 61.5 dish to pick up 129. Both my wife and I have noticed significant Picture Quality improvement along with a noticable improvement in the sound quality too for HD being received from those satellites. Since both sats are broadcasting HD in...

    Echostar files to move E6 to 61.5W

    My problem with 61.5 goes to the quality of the HD product off of that satellite. PQ has macroblocking and the sound drops out way too much for my liking. Also, and someone has to explain this to me, I would swear that the sound coming off 129 for the HD channels is definately better...

    Echostar files to move E6 to 61.5W

    I don't understand all the sqawk about 61.5. I am in Wake Forest, NC and I have always recieved a lousy signal from 61.5. I even had Dish come out to see if they could do something about it. My signal strength was 40 and sometimes dropped to the low 30's. I had constant blocking in the PQ...

    SUCCESS!! 65.1 TO 129 Wake Forest, NC

    I want to thank Iceberg and Digiblur for their posts on several threads that enabled me to swing my 61.5 single (not even a Dish300) over to capture 129. I installed a new pole that elevated my dish to 6.5 feet and lined it up with my lovely wife's help (she watched the signal meter in the...

    Should I go with 129 or 61.5

    No, not all of the HD on 61.5 is mpeg 4 but all of the HD on 129 is.

    Raleigh, NC move 61.5 to 129?

    Okay, seems that 129 is the dish to be on. I currently have two seperate locations for my two sats. 110-119 and 61.5 is on a single dish on its own pole. That pole will allow for me to rotate the sat and have los for 129. All my receivers are HD (301, 211, 622). My questions is pretty...
