    Remote Access

    Chalk up one more that would not connect 2 days ago (& hadn't for weeks)... but is working fine again as of yesterday.

    Remote Access

    Ditto here, mine's jacked up too. Cannot access my 622 lately, used to work fine.

    NFL Red Zone Sound... No 5.1

    It's my first Sunday with NFLRZ... and it's fantastic, with 1 exception. No Dolby Digital? :confused:

    EHDs with 8MB cache working ok?

    Just to confirm for the OP, I installed the Iomega Pestige 500GB as pictured on my 211, and it's working flawlessly. Fairly quiet and a great looking brushed metal case, too.

    VIP211 and DVR Capability with ext HD?

    It'll be a while before I'll be home to check mine... can anyone with an EHD and 211 confirm? This would be awesome news!

    622 multiple issues

    Quick update for this thread. I was getting the 866 error after months of flawless use of my Western Digital MyBook 500GB. I used Dish's online chat tech support, and they immediately checked my sw version (L449) and then re-authorized my receiver. That fixed the problem immediately. If...

    AT&T - DISH talks getting hot.

    Has the possibility of a Dish/DirecTV merger been completely nixed? If not, could spinning off the hardware division be in preparation for that? Dish/DirecTV merge, with what used to be Echostar hardware as the exclusive hardware provider.

    Food HD "Black Flashes"? Anyone else?

    Ditto here on my 622... same black flashes, and only on Food HD so far as I've noticed. I'll try the 30-second power cycle tonight.

    Is this a joke??

    Dentist down the road: Dr. Gene Payne. My name is Gene. Guess who is NOT my dentist. :)

    622 Remote Codes

    Same trouble here with my TX-SR700. The first two 622 remote codes for Onkyo do allow me to turn it on and control volume, but nothing else. Check this thread for more info... none of the codes work to power Onkyos off, which is what the scan tests. Nice, huh? :)

    DishHD Rebate Doubled?

    Quick update... The $200 DishHD rebate is for new activations only. The $100 rebate is available to existing customers who upgrade, as we knew.

    DishHD Rebate Doubled?

    Absolutely true, in general. The rebate this mailer references is good for existing customers who are upgrading to a DishHD metal package, though... at least the $100 version that we knew about before. I'll call Dish to do some recon and report back.

    DishHD Rebate Doubled?

    I've been on the fence for upgrading my leased 942 to a 622 for a while now, and I just got a mailer from Dish that is a little confusing. It's actually an invitation with 2 cards for free activation for friends who sign up for DishHD... and I'm wondering if this is a new promo and whether I...

    TNT 16x9 Comes through yet again!!!

    I think I might have to agree with Ron, especially after 5 or 6 minutes trying to watch it. Oy.

    Free Upgrade to a 622?

    Auto-pay here too, no call yet... onto the next theory. Huge dart board? :)

    Free Upgrade to a 622?

    One thought on possible criteria for offering this promo is... how long are you currently committed? Since you've got to re-up to accept the offer, it would seem to make sense to offer it first to those who are month-to-month or nearing completion of their commitments. Still waiting on my...

    Free Upgrade to a 622?

    I'm curious about this too... other than Tom in TX, do you folks who've gotten this call own or lease your 942?

    If you recorded "Deadwood" on Sunday night, please check your recording...

    Cut off at 50 minutes here, length reported as 50 minutes.

    IT'S OFFICIAL NO FIREWIRE ON 921!

    Exactly. The same document now on Dish's website continues to misrepresent this. http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/product_brochures/dish_player-dvr_921.pdf I am really steamed. What an utter fiasco this product was, is, and apparently will be. Quite a flagship product, eh?

    Latest Software Release Creates Havoc with my 811!

    there's no question the 811 OTA tuning is flakey, but whether it's a result of the 265 update or a miraculous and subtle movement of the foliage around my place, my OTA tuning has been *much* better since 265. i've got 2 other HD tuners all connected to the same rooftop antenna, so i have a...

    Latest Software Release Creates Havoc with my 811!

    I connect via component and do not receive anything from 148, but 265 has apparently helped my 811's OTA reception drastically. The 49% bug, which was pervasive with 264, has been completely eliminated in my testing tonight... The digital channel number problem also seems corrected. I can't...

    921's on Ebay

    $925 shipped 2nd week of February from a retailer on eBay. Of course, I paid for it in full last October. That probably wasn't a great idea... boy am I relieved that worked out. :D Now, if it would just stop rebooting once a day. Oy.

    New 811 DOA

    Well, shucks. I signed up for the $149 promo waiting list about 6 weeks ago, installed was finally scheduled for this morning... new jack, new switch, everything looks fine... power up the 811, "Error 301: There is a serious problem with the internal smart card." The installer called...

    Does DISH spy on its DVR/921 users?

    Asleep at the wheel? The privacy issue is obviously a point of concern for lots of people, though, and E* is really missing out by not pouncing on it as a marketing point to differentiate their DVR service from Tivo. Further, considering the legal slapfighting over this stuff, you'd think...

    OK..Where's the big surprises now???

    This was clearly to cover his poker losses.
