    Cancelled Dish

    Update on Dish offers since I left. Have been gone five weeks, Dish has called twice to get me back. The last offer for the same service I had previously plus a second HD receiver for 25% of my former cost for one year on a two year commitment. Pretty good price, considering the 622 has been...

    Cancelled Dish

    Well, I guess everyone has their own agenda. I thought someone might be interested in April date given for some additions to Dish. I'll say a little to reply all this speculation. I like Dish in general and the 622 was very nice. It preformed well in providing the HD picture and the DVR...

    Cancelled Dish

    Explained that the Fox channel in Sacramento was not available in HD over Dish for the last two football seasons. The CSR with a bit of attitude says it is not available in HD. I mentioned it is by OTA, on Directv and Uverse. She tells me it is not HD, just upconverted. For the rumor seekers...

    HDMI hookup

    Dish installed my 622 about 20 months ago. The HDMI cable is plugged into the 622 and the other end into the TV. However, in the cable between the the HDMI ends is another connection, apparently a male & female connection. It has continued to work properly since installation. I am just...

    Confused about pricing

    It appears the $20.00 HD fee not mentioned. I cannot address the change of dish issue but others surely can, especially if you mention what dish you currently have and where you are located.

    Where have our values gone? An international criminal concerned about a $5.00 fee. Can't you think bigger than that?

    What HD Channel Do You Want the Most?

    Fox channel 40 in Sacramento. I will be leaving Dish next summer if it not available. I have now missed two football seasons in HD. I like Dish in general, but football accounts for the majority of what I watch on local stations. Besides, I was assurred it was "coming soon" when I signed up...

    Locked events on 622

    Thanks for the input. I did change the system blocks on some HD channels. I chose to use 3 digit channel numbers rather than 95xx where available. If I read you correctly, timers set on the new three digit channels will not be locked. I have no continuing timers set, I use the one show at...

    Locked events on 622

    I lock out channels such as the music, religion and sales promotions using the system locks. I select them, lock the system, they don't appear on the channel lists. This has worked fine for many months. Today I found that 4 or 5 of my recorded items are showing as "locked events." I can...

    HBO free preview

    Just noticed this was available while locking out the NHL channels. Is it just me, or could Dish improve on providing notification of these events?

    LNB drift on 129

    I poked around in the menu and found how to run a checkswitch. Perhaps Dish will replace the Lnb with a -5 reading AND loss of picture.

    Can someone tell me how to run a checkswitch? Searched here but found nothing. Did discover that pressing the Glossary from anywhere takes you back to the home page.

    LNB drift on 129

    Dish contractor changed LNB, seemed to think there was no problem with it. He thought I may need a new 622. The 129 reading is still -5, which the CSR thought needed attention. The system in working fine. What is going on here?

    LNB drift on 129

    No HD signal for a couple of hours this afternoon, VIP622. The picture did come back and now working again. Called Dish, ran the checks which told the Dish tech that reception on 129 was "on the fringe" and needed a service call for realignment. Got it scheduled for Monday morning. She told...

    Channel Locks on tv2

    Tried again! Used a different password and it still doesn't work on tv2. Channels blocked cannot be accessed without the password, but still appear in the guides.

    Channel Locks on tv2

    Thanks for the input. I will give another try. I did lock tv2 using the same password I used on tv1. Perhaps I need to try a different password for tv2.

    Channel Locks on tv2

    I have a VIP 622 used in dual mode. I used channel locks to remove the music, shopping and some other channels from the guides. I did this on tv1 and all went well. I thought the change would apply to tv2 also, but it did not. So, I went through the same selecting and locking procedure on...

    This month marks my first year with Dish. I have a VIP 622 and the HD package. Overall I am happy with the service. Had only a few minor glitches along the way. I think the HD looks great. The HDMI cable works fine and the optical audio sounds good too. Currently my only issues, which...
