    Hopper 3 Says It's Recording, But It Isn't

    I was watching TV with a full buffer and behind live TV by 50 minutes. I paused the TV because I needed to do something else that would take about 20 minutes. Since I knew that the TV would start back up after only 10 minutes, I hit the record button. The DVR confirmed by telling me that the...

    How to Wake Up to Two Channels Each with One Hour of Viewing Memory?

    I like to wake up in the morning with my Hopper 3 tuned to 2 specific channels, each with one hour of viewing memory buffer full. I upgraded from a 722 to a Hopper 3 last week. On my 722, I set an Auto Tune at 5 AM on Channel A and a Manual Timer from 5:05 am to 5:10 am on Channel B. That...

    How do you turn off the "program enhancements?"

    Would someone please tell me how to turn off the program enhancements on the 622? I thought I read it here in this forum, but when I search the forum I can't find the posting. Also, I thought I saw the option to turn off the program enhancements in the menu a while back, but I can't find it...

    Are These Signal Levels OK?

    I just got a Dish 622 installed about 2 weeks ago. My dish is a 1000.2 (or so I've been told). While we've had some bad weather here in Cleveland, OH recently, I've experienced about 6 or 7 outages in the 2 weeks I've been a Dish subscriber. This outage rate seems way too high to me. This...

    Does Dish Have More Outages Than DirecTV?

    I just switched from DirecTV to Dish HD a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that I had DirecTV (Standard definition) for about 10 years. It seems like my new Dish setup loses the signal from the satellite a lot more often than my DirecTV setup ever did. Today was a pleasant, but partly cloudy day...

    TV1 and TV2: What do these terms means?

    At first, I thought that the terms TV1 and TV2 refer to the 2 different tuners in the 622 other than the OTA tuner. But then I read things that contradict that. Also, since I'm currently recording 3 different shows, all "on TV1," these terms must have some other meaning that I can't figure out...

    Is there a better manual online for the 622?

    IMO, the manual that comes with the 622 is pretty useless. Is there a better resource, presumably online, for how to use all the features of the 622?

    How do I stop the 622 from going into standby mode?

    Even though I went in to the Preferences menu and "disabled" the "inactivity standby" feature, my 622 still goes into standby mode when I don't use it for a while. How do I stop the 622 from going into standby mode?

    Can't Get Old NEC TV to Function as TV2 For 622

    I have 3 TVs: Living room - HDTV Office - New Sony Bedroom - Old NEC (about 20 years old) The 622 is in the living room with the HDTV. The output of the 622 (ch 21 - 69 output/in-home distribution) is split with long runs (about 80 feet each) of coaxial cable going to the other 2 TVs...

    Best OTA Antenna Options (can't use roof or attic)?

    My install date was moved to Monday morning. I live in on the southwest corner of a high-rise condo building (18th floor) in the Cleveland, Ohio area. So far, Dish doesn't offer local channels here in HD. A roof or attic antenna is NOT an option. What are the best OTA antenna options either...

    New Dish Customer - Dish Selection Questions

    Dish will be coming to install my 622 on Friday. I live in a high-rise condo on the 18th floor facing southwest. I currently have a DirecTV SD dish on my balcony and my reception is good. My questions are : -- what kind of dish(es) will they install (eg, 500, 1000, etc)? -- who decides...

    Buffer Question - ViP622

    I was in Radio Shack today playing with the 622 they have on display. When I viewed a recorded program and then switched back to live TV, the buffer was gone. Is there a way to watch a recorded program and then switch back to live TV and maintain the buffer?

    Buffer Questions - ViP622 & HDMI

    I just got a Scientific Atlanta 8300HDC (Time Warner cable) for my new HDTV. I noticed a strange behavior when I hooked up the HDMI cable. If I turn the TV off and then turn it back on a few hours later, the rewind buffer is gone. Even though I haven't changed the channel on the 8300, there's...
