Got 2 tuners and I have a signal now! Thank you!!

Thanks! I will try this now.

Upgrade from 722 to HWS with failing switch test Greetings, I purchased a HWS to replace a 722. The 722 setup functions perfectly. I attached my separator feeds to a solo node and the host line to the HWS. It fails the switch test every time it runs. I have a 1000.4 dish on EA. Only tuner 1...

No misguided thoughts here. Just my observations. I have had the same problems everyone else has had for several weeks now. I have been checking everyday to see if I can connect to my 722. The DVR service has been slowly coming back over the past few days (first connection...live tv on...

This happened when I downloaded a movie a few weeks ago. I couldn't find it. It also disappeared from the rental list. It reappeared on the list a couple of weeks later and I downloaded it again. No problems the second time.

Yeah! I can see all my recordings now. That was quicker than I thought it would be.

I can finally connect to my 722 with my iPhone but I can only see 1 recording from today. The same thing happens using dishonline.com. Hopefully progress will continue fixing this and I will be able to see all my recordings soon.

10-12 feet. I am glad that the interface designers/programmers took the time to anti-alias the text in the STB interface so it appears better on digital TVs. We will have to wait and see if the user interface will be designed with a higher resolution in future receivers. Nothing sours...

I just had my 942 replaced with a 722. I immediately noticed that the text and menus looked softer with the 722 vs. the 942. It appears to me that the text is more anti-aliased (smoothed) to reduce text pixelation on the 722 than the 942. I have a 70 inch LCOS RPTV.

I still have my 942 until next week so I can confirm that the MPEG 2 HD channels are still available.

Agreed. That is really annoying.

OTA used to be the MPEG2 HD gold standard but many broadcast HD with a full SD subchannel or weather radar robbing bandwidth from the main HD channel. This is most noticeable during sporting events.

The WHDH OTA signal is fine. It may be an encoding or sync issue with the sat version. I don't have HD satellite locals so I can't compare OTA vs. sat.

On my 942 I get episode # and original air date info. for TV shows and year for movies. This started after the last software update. If the data is garbage in your guide try forcing a guide reload with a check switch.

No subchannel listings in the Boston market (2-2, 5-2, 44-2, 44-3, 44-4, 68-2, 68-3, 68-4)

DVI output and not HDMI? This must be an older design. I would think a "newer" design would have an HDMI output with a converter cable for those who need a DVI connection.

Could the hard drive be dead or damaged? It may have been damaged during the move or installation. Do you hear drive activity (spinning and heads moving) when you try to boot the receiver.

It's part of the development cycle alpha...beta. It means the device is still being bug tested. A small group of people are selected to test the hardware/software for proper functionality before it is released.

I like the audio quality of the CD channels better than the Sirius channels. Sirius uses too much dynamic range compression especially on the 70s and 80s channels. Sirius sound more like FM quality than CD quality at times. Of course, it is satellite "radio". :)

I remember getting my first HD set in 2000 and couldn't wait to see the Tonight Show in HD for the first time. I tuned in and found it in SD. My local affiliate was only broadcasting in digital SD at the time. I had to wait another year before they upgraded to HD. All my local stations...

When you select an event to play you will see "A problem was encountered when opening the files for this event. Please note the Error Code: 07" instead of the program description. This happens occassionally with random recorded events after a spontaneous reboot of the 942. It looks like...

What happened to the Boston HD LIL? Atlanta is back in and...poof...Boston is off the map for the year? I wonder what happened?

Yes, an immediate credit would be nice.

Well it seems they will not have enough 622 inventory to replace all the 921 and 942 receivers until April. This must be their way to MAKE us wait until supply meets demand.

Yep, I forgot LCDs. Sharp and others have 1080p LCDs out now. Plasmas will follow in 2006. BTW, all 1080p displays are progressive and refresh at 60 Hz. All 1080i content must be "line doubled" for display on these sets. There is no way around that. The quality of the scaling depends on...
