Same here! I thought someone had posted a couple of months ago that Shreveport was uplinked? Or maybe it was on a graphic on Charlie Chat? I wonder what happened???:mad:

I saw on Charlie Chat that Shreveport, Louisiana, is FINALLY getting HD locals. Anyone know when it will go live and which channels will be included? THANKS!

Tonight's Charlie Chat listed SHREVEPORT, LA as one of the 5 upcoming local HD Market launches. Hurrah!!!!!!!!

I haven't watched Charlie Chat in about two years and tuned in tonight to see that my local market, Shreveport, LA, is finally getting HD. I'm in shock as I have "moved" from Tennessee to Georgia to Texas in my years with DISH. And they said you can't ever go home again, lol! :)

Apparently many people have this issue. Do we know WHY Dish does this to the signal in dual mode to the 2nd tv?

Could someone please explain to me why the feed from the 2nd tuner in both our 722K and 622 receivers shows up small with black bars on all sides (is that what they call letterbox?) on the two tvs they feed? I understand that the signal is in SD, even though both are flat screen HD LCDs, and...

Well, yes, you could have saved a lot of posts if you had noticed this earlier, lol! Seriously, didn't I read somewhere on here that they were moving those off of Conus? I think that is why I didn't move there. Or as you said, you just got lucky! It looks like many of us in North La are most...

I recently moved and not all of the local channels mapped down on my 622. The ABC and FOX channels did but the NBC and CBS channels did not. On the 722K, they all mapped down. I tried 1)resetting the receiver using the front button 2) unplugging it and plugging it back in after 10 minutes 3)...

That same thing happened to my 622. Give it up and have them send another one. They did that for me and that one didnt' work either so I raised heck and they gave me a new 722K and it's working great. (crossed fingers)

Update: They all mapped down on the new 722k in the living room. The 622 in the bedroom, however, still just shows the 2 stations.

The OTA HD isn't soft, it's very crisp. But it does drop off and on, i guess as the wind blows. That is the main reason for the move, to have consistent HD signals on the network channels. The SD local thru Dish is what I was saying is soft.

I can see the HD in the 8000s and the SD in the 6000s but those two did not map down.

Thanks for your reply. I pushed the reset button on the receiver, ran a check switch...still not showing up. It did download all the new channel stuff but no cbs or nbc mapped down. odd.

Ok, i moved to Dallas online with no problems. Here are the locals in HD DALLAS ABC-WFAA IN HD 8 6383 DALLAS CBS-KTVT IN HD 11 6384 DALLAS FOX-KDFW IN HD 4 6386 DALLAS NBC-KXAS IN HD 5 6385 The CBS and NBC stations are not showing 'mapped down' in either HD or SD. Any thoughts...

I get 45% on 1 and 42% on 3. No local HD on those yet, you said? GRRR!

Dallas is 110? What spotbeam?

I have both as we are baseball fans. I find DISH so much better that I keep it for 12 months and only subscribe to DirecTV for 6 months out of the year. The *E receivers (I have a 622 and a 722K) are faster, more user friendly and allow me to record more things at once than does the *D receiver...

Hi Y'all! I got a 722K on Tuesday and so far, it has worked great. It is replacing a 622 that was caught up in an endless rebooting cycle and a replacement 622 that worked for about an hour. I find the PQ great but am disappointed they didn't send the OTA module with the installer, as...

Been about a month now...anything develop that I could pick up as far as HD locals? Using the antenna is driving me nuts, esp now that they replaced my 622 with a 722k and neglected to send the OTA module. I have the HD locals going straight to my TV and while the PQ is excellent, the channels...

I just got the 722K this week but they didn't send the OTA module. Right now, I have my HD locals coming in by antenna to the tv and the picture is so much nicer than on my 622 where I have the local HD going through the satellite box. The trade off, for me, is not being able to record to my DVR...

We leave the cabinet doors open at all times so that the unit doesn't overheat. It seems odd to me when I read the posts where people are using laptop cooling fans, etc, to keep their equipment running. Shouldn't the receivers be made better so that this doesn't happen? I don't like the look...

I called last night and they said I would have one in 3-5 days. I am about to take the original one to UPS. I'll try one more and if that doesn't work, I'll have someone else come and install it so they can see what is going on. It's only $29 for the service call? I am no longer on a contract as...

Ok, update, the receiver came on by itself at 10:15 and showed 7 minutes of March Madness and went off. I did the online Tech Support and he tried to tell me it was an electrical issue and I told him that our 622 in the bedroom works fine plugged in here and that it was the refurbished receiver...

I have been a DISH customer for over 10 years and the main reason that I have not switched to DirecTV is because of the quality of the DISH receivers over Directs.I have 2 VIP622s and up until a week or so ago, both have worked fine. Then the one I have in the living room started this horrible...
