    L4.03 on 622

    I just noticed I got L4.03 also! WooHoo!! Hopefully the "bansheee blackouts" once an hour are gone also. My 622 has been virtually unwatchable for almost 2 weeks since that "Spawn of Satan" L4.01 update :mad: possessed my 622.

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    Hi All, Like I said in an earlier post a few days ago, L4.01 has crippled my 622. We tried to watch Wrestlemania other night, 622 reset it self every 5 minutes and Dish has the nerve to tell me I would only have to pay 1/2 price for the PPV. Their ace in the hole was that I had another...

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    Well, this new software has ruined my 622 unless they patch it. MY 622 was fine before 4.01 came along. My 622 gets the BSOD then the audio turns to static. My 622 has reset it self at least 10 times today while I was watching tv. The picture just goes black along with the sound turning to...

    My old Dish 811 - What's it worth?

    My 811 is packed away in my 622 box, I was wondering the same thing. Not worth selling at this point. Will probably just keep mine for a backup receiver.

    622 2nd TV install question

    This is disappointing news, guess I will have to call Dish and arrange for install to get my 2ND TV up and running. I assume they will supply all needed switches and cabling if needed as part of the install price which I believe is around $100.00. :( THX again for all help and suggestions!

    622 2nd TV install question

    I just have the separator hooked up to my cable from the wall to my 622. Dish guy said thats all I should need awhile back to get the 2 tuners working on same tv.

    622 2nd TV install question

    Jim, I switched the separator around like you suggested and sure enough TV2 is now showing the 3 sats. where TV1 is not. So I have a bad separator, does Rat Shack or anyplace sell these things? I just want my 2 tuners on one tv for now until I can get my TV2 connected. THX! :)

    622 2nd TV install question

    No, Can't record from 2nd tuner. When doing check switch shows reception verified on TV2 side but no sats. found. Only TV1 working atm. THX for switch recommendation, might try a local dealer to see if I can find one. Might be cheaper going Dish install route tho. :(
