    Is there such a thing as a "good" 622

    I'm on my 6th now since March 2006, believe it or not. In order: 1) spontaneous reboots, became worse over time 2) spontaneous reboots straight out of the box 3) HDMI kicked the bucket and after several months, got a new one 4) spontaneous reboots, became worse over time to the point where that...

    Lord of the Rings trilogy....

    The problem with TNT broadcasting these in HD is that the LOTR movies were filmed in anamorphic 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which TNT butchers by zooming in in order to not receive complaints about the black bars above and below the picture (to make it 16:9). It absolutely drove me nuts trying to...

    Tbs Hd Is Live!

    Me too! I started a thread about this, but unfortunately doing a check switch isn't doing the trick for me: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-hd-discussions/110061-problems-tbs-hd.html

    Problems With TBS HD

    I have a 622 and am pulling in TBS HD on sat 129. For whatever reason, though, it won't tune in about half the time--I get the searching for signal error screen followed by the unable to acquire screen. The other half of the time it comes in fine. Note that I am not having any problems...

    Setanta sports on dish??

    Actually, the final will be broadcast live on pay-per-view. I'm betting that FSC will air replays of it 3-5 days after, though.

    Any Word On Setanta Sport??

    I too have signed up for ITVN specifically for Setanta; I simply could not wait any longer after finding out that about half of ManU's games will be on the channel this season. D* is raising the rate for Setanta to the same rate as ITVN, too, btw.

    Any Word On Setanta Sport??

    Wow, I just posted a question about the EPL PPV games and what was happening this year in the Sports Forum. I really hope that they get a deal done with Dish.

    Not happy with StarzHD quality

    I tried the back button trick (it worked for HBOHD and SHOHD back when I first got my 622 in March), but it doesn't work with STARZHD. I called DISH to complain and was told that they have received several complaints and that they are putting together a bunch of cases for their engineers to...

    HDTV Setup settings on 622...

    I have a 34" Toshiba CRT HDTV that is supposed to handle a 1080i signal. For whatever reason, though, when I have my 622 set to output 1080i I have a lot of problems with ghosting and shadows in HD programming. However, the cool thing is that the set automatically converts 720p signals to...

    FIRST LOOK: 622 Review!

    Yes. By default the 622 sets up programs to start 1 minute early and end 2 minutes late, but it is user definable.

    FIRST LOOK: 622 Review!

    My 622 Experience Hey all, I have been enjoying my 622 for just over a week now. I'm located in Benton, AR (just southwest of Little Rock), so had my 500 changed out for a 1000 and my 511 for a 622. Unfortunately I was not here the Saturday the new system was installed (my wife was here and...

    Have you Received a ViP622?

    I ordered mine on 2/2 and received it yesterday (2/17). I am trying to figure out something, though. I currently have a 510 and get local channels on my DISH 500--how do I know whether I can hook up the 622 and get it working before next weekend's scheduled installation? I live in Benton, AR...
