I recently had another 622 die on my only to have the replacement die on me 1.5months later. I believe I have had at least four, probably closer to six, 622's since I purchased my first one back when they were introduced. Is there any way to know? Just curious if they track that stuff. I...

Looking online at Dish, I cannot find my current contract length. Anyone know where I can find all the details? Thanks!

Ok, this is weird... I've had Dish for years (11 to be exact). I called to cancel about 2 months ago so I could switch to DirecTV. I found out I was physically unable to get DirecTV, so I called Dish back before the cancel date and reinstated. They were kind enough to even give me $15 a month...

I'm considering switching from Dish to TW, but they were unable to tell me which HD channels I would get...! The rep told me she is working in a call center and did not know what channels I would get in my area (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho). Any way to find out? Thanks!

I have a 622 with both UHF and IR remotes. The remote with the green "1" at the bottom works (IR). The all silver remote, labeled, "UHF Pro" does not work. The antenna is on all the way and the box has been reset a few times. No go. Any tricks to get a UHF remote re-paired with its box...

I would like to get the new Toshiba HD-AX1 but already use, and love, my Pioneer DV-59AVi. Would the Toshiba give me an equally stunning SD upconverted picture as my Pioneer? I use 720p via HDMI to my Sanyo Z3. I figure I could sell the Pioneer and offset the cost of the Toshiba if the...

My neighbor and I constantly compete with our UHF remotes. I have a 622 box. Not sure what he has but I think it is the same since he likes to watch the Monster channel a bunch.. :-) (he changes my box to this frequently). How can I change my 622 and remote to use a different UHF channel...

Every morning lately, Boomerang (BOOM) is in Spanish! It never used to be and last I checked this is still an English speaking country (although some would like to change that). Are they making political statements? This is nuts...

On my 508, I was able to mute my Toshiba RPTV and the CC would come on while muted. This was using my Svideo connection. With the 622, when the same TV is muted, the word "Mute" stays on-screen but no CC comes out. I am using the HDMI connection. A read through the 622 manual says that CC...

Dish just called! My install scheduled for this Sunday was rescheduled until March 7th! They said there were "shipping problems" with the 622... ie., they are out of 'em I would imagine. Just like our moderators told us it would happen! So frustrating that Dish has this reputation of not...

Anyone know what is in the heart of the 622? Aren't these DVR boxes essentially PC's running Linux or some variant? Any detailed information "out there" about the components that make up the 622? Too early to tell?

I just had a Dish 1000 installed so I can pull in the Voom HD channels from 129 (I think). Because of trees, I had to have the Dish 1000 installed seperately. Now I have two dishes. Well, I went to view a couple local channels and low and behold, they claim I need another dish to view...

About 2 years ago (or less) VOOM was talking about launching another satellite to cover those areas of the West Coast that could not "see" the original bird... Since VOOM has been absorbed by Dish Network, has there been any other talk about launching the other satellite? I am too low & just...

I have read that Dish charges if you do not have a home phone connected to their boxes. Is this true? If so, what can one do if their only phone is a cell phone? The phone connection isn't a necessity anyway, so why would Dish force the issue and force us to use POTS service if we don't want...

I emailed Voom for an update on their new satellite which would allow folks in the Pacific Northwest (who cannot get Voom due to location) to get Voom. All they would say is this: Thank you for choosing VOOM - HDTV Delivered! We are scheduled to have the second VOOM satellite available...

When I connected my 811 receiver last week, I asked the Dish rep if the 921 will drop in price soon. He said, unofficially, that the 921 will be made available in a package deal...for free... in the near future. Of course, "near future" could be our children's generation... Anyone know for...

I just got a new 811 (2nd one) on the Dish1Up promo. I didn't notice on the 1st one I received, but on this one, on the outside of the box is a warning to the shippers that "this box contain a computer harddrive" and to be careful. I haven't opened the box yet since I just received it, but I...

I have been with Dish Network for six years now. Just today I was told by a Voom installer that I cannot get Voom due to the satellite being too low in the Eastern sky. I VERY much want HD but since I am a current Dish customer, I cannot get the HD receiver free like a new customer can. My...

Voom not available in most parts of Coeur d'Alene /Post Falls Idaho! (Perhaps even Spokane Washington too) I had an install scheduled for this morning. The installer was very prompt, but had bad news: Only 1 of every 4 installs are possible in my area of the Pacific Northwest. I guess...
