    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    While a bit dated in this shot (The power unit and fans remain in the current setup, but now, all the equipment is now newer. The 622 lives where the 211 is in this shot), this shows my in-wall setup. And a more distant view: I really need to update my photos!

    This is interesting to note.... Thanks. My last 622 to be replaced had the endless reboot problem. Hum...

    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    I got an email back from Mr. Kliewer. He said he contacted the director of that department to make sure I never get bothered by the non-returned equipment charge again. Also, he offered to replace my 622 with a 722. Very nice. I thanked him profusely and welcomed the equipment swap. These...

    622's are not dead...

    I have had such bad luck with the 622... I had my umpteenth 622 die upstairs, so I swapped my 722 in while awaiting for the replacement. When the replacement came, I put it downstairs where the 722 was, in a place that very very rarely gets used. About a month after installing the replacement...

    On my 4th or 5th VIP622 replacement! I cry Uncle...

    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...

    How can I see my current contract?

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

    Been with Dish for 11 years... Now they say I owe a receiver...

    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...

    Problem With “Offers”?

    Via chat, the answer is no. I'll call retentions tomorrow & see. Otherwise, I'll simply switch. No big. Saves me $15 per month even after the deal runs out...

    Problem With “Offers”?

    Will Dish counter offer DirecTV? I was going to call DirecTV and sign up for their HD package with HD DVR for $49/mo for 12 months. It costs me $99 with Dish for the same thing. Plus no equipment or setup fees. Totally no money out of pocket. I would love for Dish to match the monthly &...

    Dish 622 UHF Pro remote no longer responds

    Thanks for the replies! That is helpful. I did NOT check for single vs dual mode in the front panel. I'll do that tonight and post if it doesn't work (although I suspect it will).

    Dish 622 UHF Pro remote no longer responds

    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...

    SD/HD on Panasonic TH-50PX60U Plasma

    Just gotta throw in my two cents. I have the 58" Panny plasma and the Dish 622. SD looks terrific and HD is out of this world! Get an upconverting DVD player and you will just add to that terrific setup. (I have the matching Panasonic DVD-S97; even the awful kids DVDs look good). Hopefully...

    AV700 to AV700E via Firmware?

    I'm looking for the same answer too. I suspect it is not... Maybe the functionality difference is in the docking pod. I understand it has to do with the USB connection to the 622. You can still record to the AV700 but you have to do so in real time via standard audio/video cables.

    archos av700 vs av700e?

    I know this is an old thread, but can you tell me if there is a way the AV700 can be made into a AV700E? Thanks! Firmware upgrade??

    622 Lost HDMI output

    My new box arrived on Monday. I hooked 'er up and now I have fantastic video and sound via HDMI. Of course, I lost all my saved programming on the old 622 but I'm OK with that. I guess I could have dumped it to my PC for saving, but nah, I was more interested in getting the best possible...

    HDMI issues 211/411/622

    That was me until last week... Is there a way to slip this issue into a Charlie Chat or one of those forums?

    WOW am I mad...

    MY HDMI broke a few days ago too, after working for months (ever since the first 622's were available). I called Dish and they were nice about it. I asked for a new receiver and one is on the way. Seems that different CSR's have different responses to this issue. If you email Dish, they'll...

    Switching between Dish and Direct

    Dish told me you get one promotion per social security number for life... That sounds extreme though; and I have received two promotions but it was one under my wife's and one under my name. I would highly doubt he could be doing that ever since '97 unless he has found some loophole...

    Who is having problems with HDMI with 211/411/622

    Did you re-solder your connection? This could be class-action lawsuit material, couldn't it? I'm sure this is a known hardware problem (by Dish) and the software excuse is just that, an excuse to not have to replace all 622's... The replacement boxes we get, are those refurbs? Is there a...

    hdmi and 622

    Well, if this is a solder problem, I suppose we could pop open our boxes for a DYI fix? I'm not that brave at the moment... FWIW, Dish is sending me a new box, but then I lose all my recorded content. There is no easy fix I guess. Either solder, or replace. The Dish guy told me the new box...

    622 Lost HDMI output

    HDMI problem is wide spread according to Dish tech dude Well, called Dish last night. They had me unplug the HDMI, wait 1 minute, then reset the 622. Still no signal from HDMI. The tech then told me the "engineering is working on it" line. I asked him to send me another box, which they are...

    622 Lost HDMI output

    Mine died after switching from a RPTV using a DVI to HDMI to a plasma with a HDMI to HDMI. I tried different cables, the other HDMI port on the plasma, tried yelling, stomping.... oh... well, tried it all and no dice. I'll call Dish to see if they'll replace my vip 622. I've been on HDMI...

    hdmi and 622

    I too have just run into this. I was hoping there was a fix already... Bummer. I was running my 622 to a CRT RPTV via HDMI to DVI cable just fine. Got a new plasma TV and ran HDMI to HDMI and *poof*, no HDMI video or audio. I think I will contact Dish today to put more pressure on them & let...
