Call From Dish I got a call from the executive office and they are willing to replace my 625 with a 622 for $199. They would then change my programing package to the DishHD Platinum. Is the $199 charge the same everyone else is paying or should I be able to ask for a lower price or perhaps...

Followup Question I am okay with not receiving the new HD channels with the 942 - it will be in the bedroom and we will be okay with the existing HD channels in there. Should I also be looking to upgrade my dish? I currently have two dishes, one at 61.5 and the other at 110/119. To...

I currently have a 942 and a 625 with America's Everything Pack. I recently bought a second HDTV for the bedroom and would like to move the 942 to that room and get a 622 for the main room. If I lease a 622, I will be able to receive the new HDTV channels, but do I need to switch my...

I have two DVR's that both use Dish Pro Plus Separators and I think that one of them is bad. I am no longer getting any satellite signal on that tv and when I switched the separator's, everything worked again. I put the existing separator back on and no signal. Anyway, where can I get a...

I am currently leasing a 942 and a 625. Since having the 625 installed I have replaced that old tv with a new 37" plasma. I would like 2 622's and would like to know if I will be able to get a rebate for both of them. If not, can I trade my 625 in for the new 622 and then keep the 942? That...

This is a very common issue for 942 users. Please see this thread to read about the problem: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=41135 And see this thread for an update from E*: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=41861

Our phone company wants several dollars a month for caller id so until we switch to something like Vonage - no caller ID for us. For as little as we use the phone - it is very annoying to pay $30 each month. Vonage does not offer area codes in our area so I am waiting until they do before I...

I just ordered a RCA RC930 off of eBay for around $30 shipped. It is not new in the box, but the seller has excellent feedback and a DOA policy so I am pretty confident. When we turned the 625 on last night it gave us the message that a phone line needs to be connected to avoid the fee. If...

I am sure that this has been discussed, so if someone can provide me with a link that is all I need. I just had a 625 installed in my bedroom and the phone jack is on the opposite side of the room. I don't want to pay the $4.99 monthly fee for not having it connected to a phone line and I...

My experience was virtually pain-free. The installer removed my old Voom dish since I am setup with Dish Pro+ equipment. He then mounted a Dish 500 using the Voom mast which made it go very quickly. He then ran a coax from the 61.5 Dish to my main dish and had me go inside and do a check...

Just got off the phone with Dish. They are letting me lease a 625 for $5 a month but they are charging me a $49.99 upgrade fee + a $19.95 upgrade fee. The $19.95 upgrade fee is for the 625 which would not be there if they had a 522 which they say are no longer available. The $49.99 fee is...

That is what I was afraid of. Do I need to lie to Dish and tell them that I have purchased a third TV and the 942 will only work for 2 TV's? Like I said, the wiring is all in place, just need the actual STB. If anyone has any tips to make the process of adding another leased DVR easier...

A SD DVR is fine since the TV is only SD. I thought that the 510 was a single tuner model? If it is only a single tuner DVR, is there a dual tuner DVR that I could lease in addition to the 942 I currently have?

I just had E* installed a couple of weeks ago with a 942 connected to my main TV and the second TV hooked up to the TV2 output of the 942. I am thinking that I would like to use the 942 in single mode and obtain a DVR for my second TV which is an old 27" model. I had my installer hook up the...

I can only say that I am not doing anything right now. There is also an issue with some OTA locals not having guide info with the 942. There are several threads at the same site as earlier with the info. The one channel that the 942 does not lock for me is one that I don't watch - so my...

It was posted in the Voom forum that Dish will carry all 21 Voom HD channels by early 2006. Here is the link: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=66046

The second E* dish points at 61.5 so you don't need that one since you already have your Voom dish pointed there. They will have to change out the LNB for the Voom dish to work with E* receivers, but that should be all. So you will have 2 dishes, the Dish 500 and the Voom dish. If you want...

Wow a small world. I live in New Albany Indiana also:) Using the Voom OTA antenna works great, I have mine hooked up. Make sure you are firm with your installer as mine said that hooking up the antenna is not part of the install package (I requested that he remove the antenna from the Voom...

That is the conclusion I came to as well based on information that I read. I just wish Dish would offer a compatible remote with a backlight. They would not need to include it with the 942, just sell it as a replacement/upgrade. How much extra would it cost to include a backlight?

Can you elaborate on this? If I am one minute behind and I try to fast-forward does it not work or give me some sort of error message, or something else?

From what I have read, this is not a hardware limitation. It was setup this way to get people to subscribe to their locals via satellite. I really don't mind paying for satellite locals since the 942 only has one OTA tuner. With the satellite locals I can still record 2 programs airing on...

Yes you can, if you are recording the OTA channel. We watched the first part of Medium last night on our HDTV then finished it upstairs on our standard TV. We were watching the show a few minutes behind live from the recording of the digital OTA channel. I am going to try a test to see...

Make sure when you are selecting your search options that you select digital. I think that you are looking at results for analog channels which seem to have a higher power level.
