How to remove cover on VIP622??

Does anybody know how to remove the top cover and front cover on the VIP622 receiver? My front push button for power reset is now pushed into the inside, and I can't get it back out. I assume that it's mounted on some cheesy light metal bracket, and the bracket bent. I want to be able to bend the bracket back, and get the push button back out through the hole.

Thanks for any help!

true that! if you own ur rcvr then yes u could do what u want when u want with it, the good thing bout it is when being replaced by dish and u own the rcvr is that you still own it!! so I would really recommend having it replace, don't hurt to get a new one cuz possibly trying to correct the issue urself could cause further damages ...not that im saying u can't fix but to aleast not have that burrden of having to purchase a new 622

He is right - it happened for me when owned 921 went amok.
DHP covered it and received 921 still owned when broken one has been returned.

yeah basically all you have to do is call in stated that the front panel pwr button fell into tha rcvr and that u need it replaced and if u don't have dhpp waranty dish will usually ask if u want add it on and as for question u can add it on and remove as u like no commitmnts prolly only be charged prorated fees for adding in the middle of billin cycle

Spellcheck??? Do you know what the squiggly lines under all of the misspellings/improper punctuation are? This isn't a text message, no wonder America is behind the rest of the world. Your post gives me a headache just trying to decode it.

I'm not trying to be the grammar police but make an effort, please.

Better yet, do what I do and skip them. Saves headaches.

If people can't bother to type properly, they normally don't have much substance to add either.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

Dish Hopper and Dish Hopper Plus No Alexa in settings

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
