    Upgrade from 622 to 722?

    No EHD It is in a ET center, but it has plenty of room to breath and I do randomly monitor the HDD temp.

    Favorites all messed up..VIP622

    About 2 weeks ago, my fav lists magically became populated with all channels! (all four custom lists!) I had to clear them all out and redo them. I also noticed that it added the new HD channels to every list but didn't affect the rest of the channels this time. Has anyone else ever had...

    622 Lost Audio on TV1

    I just wanted to post an FYI account of my 622 losing audio. I was watching a show on an HD Local and paused live TV. After about 10 minutes, I un-paused the show and there was zero sound! First I tested the audio and found that both the HDMI and optic outputs were not working on any...

    Dish Says No For 722 Upgrade/Exchange

    Shoot...I should have waited 2 months to upgrade to HD! I got a 622 but I'd like the extra record times of the 722. Is there any other reason not to like the 622? I guess I can always add an EHD to my 622

    Pittsburgh HD Customers...Poor Locals?

    I was wondering if any other Pittsburgh HD customers are experiencing poor quality with their HD Locals? I am having a lot of stuttering effects, mainly on WTAE HD. The audio will start to cut in and out first usually followed by digital artifacts in the picture. At times, the picture will...

    Pittsburgh HD locals breaking up

    Bringing this one back to life! Anyone still having problems with WTAE and other Pittsburgh Locals? Ever since I got HD, my channel 4 WTAE has had constant audio garble and pixelation...not horrible, but very annoying. I don't know weather to waste 1 hr on the phone with Dish or just live...

    HD to SD Screen Sizes

    Partial Zoom isn't too bad...I am very critical of mp PQ. The other modes did make faces elongated and cut edges of the picture, but I settled on Partial Zoom as acceptable! I do use Normal format for all HD channels and it is even more amazing!

    HD to SD Screen Sizes

    Format key worked great for me. I settled on Partial Zoom for SD channels and Normal for HD channels. I just hated the thought of having a large screen display and not taking full advantage of it!

    HD to SD Screen Sizes

    What do you guys do when switching from HD to SD channels? On my TV, HD channels are full screen, but when I view an SD channel, it is just a centered box on the screen. Is this normal? If so, what setting do you use for the best SD view...Zoom, Wide Zoom or Full? If I leave Zoom on, it...

    Storms vs Satellite

    Mine rarely goes out...if it does, it is for 2 minutes or less. The only time I had an outage was after an ice storm. My dish had 1/2" of ice and I lost signal. I had to get a can of spray deicer and host the dish down and it came right back on!
