Sometimes I will be watching a channel on one of my 2 622s, and suddenly I will get the popup error 002 "Satellite signal has been lost. Signal acquisition is in progress." The signal never comes back if I let it sit there. If I channel up/down everything is fine until it happens again...

OK, that's what I guessed. But why do they show the game I do get on ESPN2A in SD rather than on ESPN2 in HD? Is that just not technicaly possible?

According to the guide, ESPN2 is showing either the Penn St-Oregon St or the Wake-Ole Miss game right now. I live in Dallas, which is nowhere near Oxford, Corvallis, State College or Winston-Salem. But when I turn with either of my 2 622 receivers to channel 144SD, 144HD, or 9425, I get the...

Yes, I know this issue, but it's not the one I'm talking about. I'm talking about the difference I see in PQ when the antenna is run through the 622 as opposed to when the antenna is directly connected to my TV. No satellite broadcast involved.

I never got a picture of any kind on the screen, not even a dish error message, so you maybe better off than me. Or maybe not.

It was non-committal. Response if appropriate.

OK, done. Got the form "thank you for contacting us" email. Should I expect a reply other than that?

On both TVs I'm running in the equivalent of "Native" for aspect mode, and both were custom professionally calibrated on color/contrast/gamma etc. for each input source. The JVC has dynamic 3:2/2:3 pulldown, but the Panasonic has to be put in that mode if the tuner doesn't do it automatically...

Yeah, neither of my TVs uses a 100-point scale like the 622, so I don't know how to compare the signals, but I can tell you that I rarely get anything more than about mid 60s on the 622. But even when the signal has no problems I can see, the picture is worse when it passes through the 622...

Both of my TVs' included tuners pull in more digital channels than the 622 and there seems to be less macro-blocking and signal fade/drop on PBS when the 622 is not involved.

We're talking two different 622s here on two different TVs. I have no idea how to do screenshots. Can you point me to a link that tells me how?

That's what I'm saying exactly. The TV is a JVC LX37X688 37" 1080p LCD. The 622 was connected via HDMI, same as the PS3. The PS3 looks amazing on both Blu-Ray and games, so it's not the TV's conversion from 1080i (most of the PS3 games I have are either 720p or 1080i). All inputs calibrated...

BTW, the box is dead. Dish was not intererested in giving my a replacement 722. I went up three levels and no luck on the upgrade. They even gave me a long speech about the fact that they were going to inspect this box upom return and if the problem was deemed to be my fault, I would be...

My 622 crapped out yesterday, and I needed to watch something, so I hooked my OTA antenna to my TV, and *WOW,* the picture was amazingly clear. Now I know all the issues with the picture quality of Dish broadcast locals, but here's the weird thing. I have always used the OTA antenna through...

Not looking good. Still doing the same thing. Yep, I've got a recording story too. My last 622's HDMI died, so I hooked it up via component and moved all my stuff to the external HDD. When I got this one hooked up, I moved some of it back, including my kids' favorite programs. Now...

Got home from 4th of July trip about an hour ago, and the 622 in my bedroom was making a loud fan noise and the TV1 green light was flashing fairly fast. I had no picture via HDMI. Plugged in the component cables (just in case), and same deal. Unplugged the receiver for about 10 minutes and...

Thanks for the replies. I understand the privacy thing, but I didn't want the installer's personal #, just their company's business number (I've never had a Dish-employed installer at my house - they've always been contractors.) I figured if I called the install company directly to tell them...

Hey, I was hoping some of the more experienced folks or the installers could enlighten me on the reasons behind what I think is a change in the way Dish does its CS for installs and repairs. I used to call and set up the appointment, and at some point prior to the install I could call and get...

Oh, well. That wasn't the answer I'd hoped for, but at least I know it's not my equipment. Thanks.

I understand that Dish many not be able to control what CBS does program-to-program, but why would all the Voom channels sound so different than HBOHD, HDNET, etc. It's not like that's happening occasionally - it's constant.

I have a 622 and a Yamaha receiver conected via optical cable. On HBOHD, STARZHD, SHOHD, ESPNHD, and all of the other HD channels numbered below the Voom networks, it sounds pretty good. On all the Voom channels, however, and sometimes on the Dish HD locals (CBS particularly - "Two and a Half...
