I have the new 625 and it does not have any glitches in playback. The most interesting thing is the fact that the old 625, which I still have, has been playing back shows without one glitch. I played back 10 hours of Invasion into my DVD recorder, with not one glitch, and we watched 20 hours of...

I can state without a doubt that grounding the dish, or grounding of any type is not causing the audio dropouts I have in my new 625 receiver. A good reason for the Dish peole to replace my 625 could be that i have a service plan on it, plus, i was not going to let it rest. I threatened...

Once in a while I might see pixelization, but it has not been a problem that warranted any comment. The audio problem is a much bigger probelm, and must be on certain hardware paltforms. The tech did say that it was the hard drive in the unit I have that needs to be replaced and they can only...

Yesterday I called into Dish support to find out what they are doing about my 625's audio problem. Many other 625 users say that they also noticed the random glitch in audio on their 625 receiver/DVR. This only occurred during playback, the recording is always fine if you backup and play it...

I believe that they limit the resolution for a tradeoff in the amount of HD channels they can carry. So if they increase the resolution, they have to cut back on the number of channels they will have room for. If this would be true, then we could expect the resolution to go up when they increase...

I have been very pissed about the audio glitch on playback of my 625 since the first week or so. I will have to try switching the audio out and see if I can get better playback. I have an open trouble call with DISH on this topic, I hope they roll the upgrade out to us that have complained...

My 625 receiver, which is only a couple of months old, while watching something I recorded, it stops for a split second, then continues. On some occasions, it makes a very weird sound when it skips. I backup and run over the same time again and it does not do it, so I know it is the CPU doing...

You can just plug it in and activate it. You activate is via Dish customer support.

My dad had his 301 receiver go dead. It was long out of warranty. They made me pay $68.19 for a swap for a working 301. If they determine that the damage to the 301 was his fault, they will void the warranty on his new receiver. I asked about how it could be his fault and Amanda didn't know...

Yep, once they have your money, and the grace peroid laps, they call to see if youyr are a happy customer. They would not lease me the 942 at that time because my grace period had expired, they were not leasing them the week ealier when the system was installed. It did gice me a bad taste for...

Dish also told me that I could not have two DVR's. I have a 625, which is pretty good, but would have taken a lease of a 942, or even another 625. They said that I could not have another DVR, period.

The Harmony remotes are configured via the internet with your computer. You will first identify your devices. Once you have all of your devices entered and working, you will then configure activities. An activity can be "Watch HDTV" or "Watch DVD", or "Play CD" You can call them whatever you...

When you opened it to dry it out, did you remove the rubber keypad and get the water out from under the buttons? You would have to get every drop of water out of the remote before it could work again. If one button works, then the processor is working. Take the batteries out of it, remove the...

In order to get the most bang for your buck, get a mast mounted amplifier. But, before you bother with theamplifier, make sure you are using a good antenna with a decent amount of gain. I love the performence of my Channel Master CM-4221. It worked so well, I thought that the CM-4228 could only...

I checked this web site for the bearing on the stations I want to receive. I have trouble with WFLX and as it turns out, it is located at 186 degrees, and ABC is at 235 degrees. I can't be pointed optimally for both. I wonder if the trouble I have with WFLX lockig up on me, could be caused by a...

I found that the company that makes the tools that Home Depot is selling is Ideal. Ideal makes all kinds of telecom tools. I went to the internet and found a company that sold me a kit. The kit contained the RG6 stripper, which pulls the outer jacket off, exposing the center conductor on the...

I bought some tri-shield rated 60% braid from a vendor on ebay. I paid .047 per foot for a 1000 foot spool delivered to my door. So if you need 100 feet at Home depot for .40 per foot, you are just $7 off of the other 900 feet. I put in several 150 foot runs, and the signal is great. I also...

I feel you are right.. I ordered a Kit from Wise Communications web site, it is made by Ideal, the maker some of the professional type tools installers use. I paid $133 for the kit which included a jar of 50 RG6 connectors, the compression tool, the coax wire stripper that preps the coax in two...

The 625 is excellent, not as excellent as Tivo, but it will do. Remember that the 625 is a DVR and unlike Tivo (except for DirecTV Tivo, the 625 records a digital stream. This is why it records 100 hours of best quality, it only has one quality, best. Anything you record will be as good as it...

Can someone comment on Quad shiled RG6 compression connectors when used with regular RG6? I didn't know I was buying quad connectors, only that they were weather proof. i only have regual RG6 60% braid. I feel I may have to order some regular compression connectors. Until I get home tonight, I...

The best stripper I've used is also bought at Home depot, or on the net from Ideal. It will stripp RG6 in a two step process. The outer jacket, and then the insulator cover. It costs about $25..

On another note, my brother just bought the new Sony 55" model of LCD projection, the model number escapes me. The reason I bring this up was because he was going to jump to Dish HD, but when he called Comcast to cancel, they tossed him a bone. They are going to give him HD in four rooms, plus...

There is a big difference between what is possible with component video and DVI. What you may see is strictly controlled by what you feed it. One test I did was with HBOHD and my Adelphia HD box. Adelphia only supplies, and supports the component video interface on that box. I used it for a week...

The compression tool in Homedepot is made by Ideal, it cost about $58 or more. You can go to Ebay, and after careful searching, you could find an off brand tool for far less. These tools work with most compression RG6 connectors, but not all RG6 connectors. Some manufacturers have their own tool...

My old lifetime Tivo needs the phone line, my new series-II Tivo's use the internet on my home network. When Dish installed my new Dish system, the tech said that he had to verify that I had a phone line connected to both of my recivers before he left, or they would charge me another $4.98...
