    Dolby 5.1 problems

    I have a 622 with a Onkyo 5.1 system and my rear speakers are just fine. Could it be that you have the rear speakers volume at a lower level? On my receiver, and I would imagine yours as well, there is a volume setting for each individual speaker, is it low for yours? Also, are you...

    Signal Drop of Discovery HD and ESPNHD-110 Sat

    That is what I was afraid of. I have my dish way out in a field but it does look over a tree line. I've had my setup for about a year and a half and it only started this last fall. I wonder if one of the trees has gotten taller and may be interfering. If that is the case, wouldn't it knock...

    Signal Drop of Discovery HD and ESPNHD-110 Sat

    Has anyone been having problems with signal strength on these two channels. I have a Dish 1000 system and a 622 and it can't seem to keep a solid signal. It goes from 70's to 30's on the signal meter and then back. Other channels on 110 don't seem to drop, just these two. Anyone got any ideas?

    Constant sound drop on NGHD on 622 Recording, anyone else?

    I record shows on NGHD all the time and I have had this problem since the last software upgrade was done awhile back. It stops if you pause the program and resume but it happens later on. It's annoying, but I know that Dish is aware of the problem. They keep saying they will fix it on the...

    Indianapolis HD Locals

    I emailed ceo@echostar.com and was advised that they can't provide a definite date but that they would be available by the end of this year. I guess that's good that they said it will be this year.

    Indianapolis HD locals

    So anything new on Indy HD Locals? Anyone? Anyone? Probably a dumb question cause if so you would have posted it. :-) Dish hasn't made any announcements on anything new lately.

    Epsn Black Out

    I am an hour south of Indy and was trying to watch a Yankees/White Sox game on ESPNHD and they blocked it out for me and I had to then watch it on nonHD-WGN. I wasn't very happy. I am not sure why ESPN in southern Indiana would be knocked out and have to watch a Chicago station. Kinda strange...

    Indianapolis HD locals

    Still nothing on last night's Charlie Chat about any of the HD locals that were uplinked but not live. Very dissapointing. I didn't even win the stupid Pro Bowl Contest either :) I am excited about other HD possibilities but would just love HD Locals. My Colts game just wasn't as much fun...

    Indianapolis HD locals

    The promise of Indy's HD locals is one of the main reasons I agreed to sign on to a 18 month commitment with Dish back 8 months ago! I think it's so ridiculous that they can't get their act straight and get the programming they have promised out to their customers or even give us some kind of a...

    Indianapolis HD locals

    This ticks me off that Dish is not giving anyone any information about the Indy locals. We all know they were uplinked. Why can't they give us a tentative date? You know they have a tentative date, if it gets bumped it gets bumped. I would much rather have a date to shoot for rather than the...

    Indianapolis HD locals

    Still no info on Indianapolis HD Locals? It's getting really close to the regular NFL regular season. Does anyone know why the delay? I've heard technical problems, contracting problems, dish problems. Is there a reason or are they just stalling cause they don't want to mess with it?

    Indianapolis HD locals

    Give me my HD football! As long as they have my HD Locals here by the time football season starts, I'll be a happy camper. I live too far out to get a good signal and watching the Colts on Standard CBS really sucks! Come on Dish, give me my HD Colts! You've got a couple of months. Get those...

    DVR recordings burn to DVD

    Do you just hook it up via component and dolby digital connections? I'm kinda new to the DVD burning and all that and want to get the best quality that I can. Does it look like the recording on the DVR when you watch it or is the picture degraded?

    DVR recordings burn to DVD

    I have a 622 and would like to burn some of my favorite recordings to DVD so they don't take up all the room on my DVR. Does anyone know if it is possible first of all to hook up your 622 to a DVD burner and then to get a good quality pic and dolby digital sound. I know the HD stuff won't burn...

    Indy HD Locals? Sooner or later!?

    I for one will be very happy when this is finally rolled out. I am about an hour away and OTA comes in for a few of the stations but the signal fades in and out it really is difficult to watch. I can't even go to my kitchen without messing up the signal. I have seen several posts on these...

    Direct's H-20 to DIsh vip 622

    I used to have D-TV and was happy but Dish had so many more channels for HD and options on the packages. Plus Dish seems to give a bit better deals on their equipment than D-TV does. Comparing the customer service, I used to think Dish had D-TV beat, but lately Dish is just as bad as what D-TV...

    Do i really need the Dish Home Protection Plan

    I thought that for the first 30 days, it won't work. You only have protection after the first 30 days. At least that's how I understand it. Is there anyway for them to tell when a problem occured and then deny you your coverage if they see that it happened before you purchased the protection...

    FIRST LOOK: Dish 500+ Dish 1000+ and the Dish 1000.2!

    So has Dish stated if they are going to provide free upgrades for those customers that are in the 5 LIL areas that require the new dish in order to get thier locals in HD? I just upgraded my receivers and dish to a 1000 a couple of months ago and I sure don't want to pay because they didn't...

    Today Ordered Vip622: 30 Day Wait!!!

    They should ship you the 622 prior to your install. When I had mine upgraded, they sent the 622 and the box to ship back my old receiver about a week after I called and the other receivers came with the installer. So make sure you get it shipped to you before your installer comes cause he...

    HD channel sound?

    I have had the same thing. The HD channels are much quieter compared to the SD channels. I have always seen a difference though.

    Indy HD Locals

    Anything new on the Indy HD locals? I see they were uplinked but nothing on when they will be available. How long does it typically take from the time they are uplinked to be active for subscribers? And why would they put these channels on a dish that no body in this area has access to and...
