    Anyone else just get local guide data?

    I just got guide information for my local off the air stations. Does anyone know the story behind this. Did Dish change their policy? I thought guide data was only available if you subscribed to local's from Dish. I like it. It's going to be a lot easier to record now.

    New DishHD $29.99 HD Only Package Details

    I called again for the third time and this CSR was able to make the change. I don't blame the CSR's for not getting it right the first and second time. I'm sure they are misinformed from higher up managers or not trained right. The only SD I did watch was CNBC and fox news.

    Anybody get their HD rebate yet?

    I had a 622 installed on June 10 with the HD Silver package. I sent my rebate form in with my first statement, must be 2 months ago. I have yet to receive the HD rebate or the bonus rebate. I called a CSR and all they say is we don't have it yet. I'm not happy about it. I think I should of got...

    Why can't Dish use TV GUIDE information for ota locals not carried by satellite?

    I'm also upset that I don't have guide info for local channels. I switched from Direct TV and I had Locals and guide info. Now with Dish no guide info and no locals offered. It's hard to use the PVR for locals because of no guide. When I had Voom I had guide info. Dish can do better.

    Off the air signal with 622 not as good

    Now that one makes a lot of sense to me. I'll buy that. Maybe when fall comes and the leaves fall off, my 622 will pickup all my off air stations or I can raise my antenna or use my Voom receiver for off air.

    Off the air signal with 622 not as good

    I've had my 622 for a couple weeks now. I find the off the air HD tuner not quite as good as my Zenith HD-Sat520 or my old Voom receiver. Both receivers will lock on one distant station, where as the 622 just breaks up. I'm still glad I switched from Direct TV, but the grass is not all green here.

    I cancelled Direct TV today

    As a former Voomer I feel like I'm back home with some of the channels, plus I really like the beautiful women in the James Bond movie's. I missed being in the forum with all the action too. I'm glad I got the 622 for $199 and not $299 like I signed up helps.

    I cancelled Direct TV today

    I told them I was leaving for more HD. They told me Voom channels are not HD, but enhanced channels. Direct TV only has "true HD". There new HD DVR will be out the end of this summer and they are going to have 150 HD channels. I said call me when it happens. I will say, I think Speed,Travel and...

    This sucks

    I called dish again today to see if I would get a different answer, and guess what I did. She said I only got charged $199 for the lease on the 622 and I can get the $20 a month credit for 10 months. $200 better answer.

    Guide question on 622?

    I don't have locals. There not available in 01035. Does that mean no guide data? I think I had guide data in the end with Voom and they didn't have locals.

    This sucks

    I just missed out on the $199 lease and $20 a month credit for 10 months. I just had my install this Saturday but I signed up about three weeks ago for the $299 lease and $10 a month credit for 10 months. I called Dish but they said I couldn't get the new deal even though my install was after...

    Guide question on 622?

    I just got my 622 installed this Saturday. I don't have any guide info for my off air HD channels. Should I have them? I had info with DirectTV.

    How long do you wait?

    I called Dish Back. I'm not happy I called Dish back, they say there's no record of an install today. That's funny I called early in the day about the install and the person I talked to said "I see your install is between 12 and 5, even if he comes at 5 they stay until it's done. The new person...

    How long do you wait?

    How long do you wait for the installer to show up? Dish Network said somewhere between 12 and 5 it's getting around to 6 o'clock now. Not even a phone call. I would think if you got "good" service someone would call and let you know if you're on the schedule or not. I wany my 622 hooked up...

    Question about new install?

    I'm switching back to Dish on June 3, can't wait. Will the installer put up two dishes or one to get Voom HD channels too? Locals are not available in my area 01035. Will the 622 receiver pick up off air HD as good as my Zenith HD-SAT520. I wished the 622 looked like high end audio equipment...

    What aspect setting are on the 622

    What aspect settings does the 622 have when watching SD channels on a widescreen TV. Does it just something better than just wide? I'm going back to Dish from Direct with a 622. My old 811 didn't have a good stretch setting.

    What stretch modes does the 811 have?

    Thanks for the reply, I wanted to know about 1080i output. I guest the Dish 811 doesn't have a cinerama, panorama stretch mode.

    What stretch modes does the 811 have?

    When viewing SD on a wide screen TV what stretch modes does the 811 receiver let you pick from. Did Dish add something better than just wide?
