I have had (purchased or under warranty purchased) 7 or 8 622s since Febuary of the year they were released. I have had this issue on most of the units hooked up to my CRT RP HD ready set. After one of Dish's upgrades over a year ago, my HDMI/DVI cable has no longer worked. As it is an analog TV that isn't an issue for me. The problem has been the loss of component out. When it happens, it has always been the day after turning off the 622, while using the OTA tuner. In every case, but one I've restored the component via a soft or hard reboot. That exception was Tuesday. Monday I lost component out audio worked fine, composit worke fine reset didn't work. Tuesday same situation, also tried other inputs on tv and different cables. Called tech support, first person after a little time on phone, asked me to wait a moment, I hung up 5 minutes later. Second person went through all the checks again asked me to wait a moment, 5 minutes later I hung up. Third person and I'm steaming, (American for the first time) we go through the whole routine again, I explain my issue with this being the 4th unit since March (others died) and I was getting fed up with refurbs. He stated a service call was necessary. Cancelled this morning---component has worked without an changes in hookup for 2 days. Any ideas?

I was an English/History major and can't spell "anomaly" . Old age is setting in. None of the units has been sent in because of output issues, which has occured often enough, to cause me concern. It still could be a TV input issue, but it only occurs when the receiver was on its OTA tuner before being turned off. The death issue--- I gave my wife my 622 when I got her a 1080p set which is hooked up with HDMI in November 2006 with a unit I'd purchased in February 2006. I purchased a second 622 in late November 2006. That unit's hard drive failed in less than 3 weeks. Fast forward to March of this year (3 and counting all failures have been harddrive related). Between March and June of this year my wife's 622 was replaced 4 times! with refurbished 622s. The last time I moved the replacement unit to my TV and my unit (December 2006) to her TV. That makes 7 (there may have been another issue in early 2006 but not sure). The 3 units on my analog TV all had the same experience with component out, that over 2 1/2 years has occured at least 6 times, but only once for more than the time it took to reset. On only one other occasion did I call and the fellow on the other end said he woul "hit" my receiver. 5 minutes later, it was working.

I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub.
The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables coming in from outside, from back when I used to have the older 1000.4 dish and the hopper 2. I don't fully remember, but I think the other two coax cables are just tied up next to the dish outside; will have to check again.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

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....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.
