My 622's HDMI is connected to a monoprice switch box it shares with an upscaling DVD player. I can switch over to the DVD player just fine, but ever since L449, when I try to click back I get no picture. The audio is still coming through on my optical jack. I do a soft reboot and all is well once again. Is this some DRM magic or is the HDMI about to fail?

I'm also using a Monoprice switcher with an upconverting DVD player and a 622. Its had L449 for 10 days or so and so far no problem with HDMI. Should've NEVER said that!
I've used the DVD player several times so the switcher has been used even more than normal.

Well after troubleshooting even more (and being blown off by dish online chat, I was talking to them and then they said "sorry computers down, try back later, goodbye" and then I was disconnected).
Sorry, back to further troubleshooting. I giggled the hdmi jack on the 622 and found when I pull up on the cable I get picture. So my hdmi jack went bad?!?!?!?! I have never moved it since installed, what a crappy design. Well I have the cable propped up right now to keep picture and so far its working!
So now I need to call dish and complain about that and hopefully get a new 622 or maybe even a 722! Only problem is I will be loosing all the recorded problems I am saving...hate that! I don't have an external drive to save them to. Crappy hardware and software dish...thanks...

If you don't want to lose any recordings:
1. Activate external drive feature and move recordings. Transfer back on the new DVR.
2. Resolder the jack.
3. Ziptie the cord so that the jack is pressed down and live with it.
The Dish 622/722 dvrs are not the only devices I have seen this happen to. there are AV receivers out there that have similar problems with their HDMI jacks too.
Yeah, that's what I was saying in post #20 on the first page of this thread. The HDMI jacks are surface mounted and will pop loose from the dvr mainboard if there is ANY up force.Well after troubleshooting even more (and being blown off by dish online chat, I was talking to them and then they said "sorry computers down, try back later, goodbye" and then I was disconnected).

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.
Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!
If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
