    4k TV and ViP622

    Interestingly, this 2006 model Philips plasma does not have independent settings for various video inputs. It is the same setting used whether component or HDMI. So I am using the same picture settings on HDMI that I used for component for many years. I may play around with the settings now...

    4k TV and ViP622

    Layman question: are you referring to the picture settings on the ViP622 receiver, or to the picture settings on the TV proper?

    4k TV and ViP622

    Thanks to DISH representative JessicaR, a replacement ViP622 was sent to me. It is now in service, and the HDMI out connection to my TV now works just fine. I think the picture quality on my 9 year old plasma is better with HDMI than with the component cables (have compared from same receiver)...

    4k TV and ViP622

    Thanks. DISH is sending me a replacement ViP622 receiver which (they say) will have a working HDMI out connection. When I looked into this problem in 2006-2007, it seemed that people had their ViP622 replaced by DISH and the HDMI failed on the replacement, etc. So the consensus at that time...

    4k TV and ViP622

    When you connect your UN55JU6500 to your 612 and 722, are you using the HDMI connections (as opposed to component)? The HDMI out of my ViP622 has never worked. Thanks.

    4k TV and ViP622

    I plan to buy a new 4K TV, example: Samsung UN55JU6500. My DISH receiver is a 9 year old ViP622. The HDMI on the ViP622 has not worked since 2006 and I have used component cables ever since to my old plasma TV. Looking for advice such as: Would I be wise to replace the ViP622 'just because'...

    AMC HD on...

    My satellites are 119, 110, and 61.5. However AMC HD does not show up even on the 'All Channels' guide. I do see an AMC 130 without an HD with a green color in the 'All Channels' guide. My subscription is HDAbsolute. Wondering why I do not see this? Thanks.

    Dish Network 21.0 Learning Remote Instructions

    Closed Caption Toggle? Can this new remote be programmed to provide a one-button closed caption toggle? That would make it worth it for me. I have a ViP622. Thanks.

    Statement from Dish Network on VOOM Takedown

    Well, I must say that I had been enjoying many of those VOOM channels that are now gone. I often watrched channels like Gallery, World Cinema, and the concise HDNews. World Cinema had a show on last month called "Box 507" and even subtitled from Spanish, it was a really good 'revenge of the...

    HD Reception Improved with 2nd Dish

    I had been having frequent signal loss with several HD channels on the 129 satellite. DISH made adjustments about a year ago, but signal strengths were always spotty. This week I asked them to come out again and see if there was a way to fix the problem permanently. The arrangement I had was a...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Good thought, thanks. I have been needing them to come adjust the dish on my roof to get more consistent reception on 129 satelllite channels; I get a lot of 'lost signals' on some HD transponders of 129. I will probably wait until after they do that to drop the DHPP.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    This Package Sounds Better... …since my new bill for AT200 just went up by $2.00 this month. Well, I think I am ready to switch to this “HD only” package. I rarely watch any SD channels and stand to save about $35-36/month compared to my most recent bill for AT200 plus locals plus HD, etc...

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    Q For Those Who Have Switched Already Some posters indicate that certain 'freebie' SD channels have continued along with this HD package. One channel that is vital to me is the NASA channel -- can anyone who has switched to this package confirm whether or not the NASA channel is still included...

    Where can I find the pricing structure list of services and fees?

    Credit Card Payment Agent Handling Fee? The Credit Card....Fee still shows on page 2 of my bill as $5.00. I am wondering where this comes in to the charges on our bills.

    Audio Problem With Locals

    This evening I listened to each of the three local Houston channels that had been having the warbling/echo problem. All three of them sounded fine during the evening news broadcasts. Hopefully this means the problem has been addressed and resolved. I think it clearly was not my ViP622 at...

    Are there HD channels you almost never watch?

    Never viewed: RAVE, ANIMA, GAMEP. Channels like HDEV1 & NBAHD are always(?) off air. I would like to watch HDNEWS more, but Sat 129, Tp 22 is very flaky, so it is just short bits of that I can see before it pixelates out. The others I peruse or watch from time to time. I am steadlily...

    Audio Problem With Locals

    Sound quality on certain of my local DISH satellite HD channels has gotten very poor starting a couple of days ago (11/28, 11/29). It is as if there is now an ‘echo’, or as if the people speaking are far away from their microphones. Details: DISH ViP622, L3.65, DISH Silver package using...
