hey guys I'm new to this site. I've recently taken a great love of hd equipment and services but am still very new to this stuff. I have has a 622 receiver hooked up to a Westinghouse LCD TV for several months without a problem. all of a sudden today the HDMI audio is gone but still available through stereo receiver and optical output. Then video goes out only on HDMI also. I called dish and they said is compatibility issue with some tvs. I do not understand if it's not compatible why it worked for so many months without a problem?? I've tried all the standard troubleshooting from resets to checking cables. will be replacing cable in a few minutes to see if that helps. The receiver also acted very strange with a green screen, press select to continue would not go away, after reset would not acquire signal until turned off and back on, and flipping randomly between press select to continue/black screen/video. I think the receiver may need replaced but dish says that i should just use component cables. I don't have any available ports because of other HD equipment. any suggestions on how to fix this would be great. (I apologize for the horrible english in this but i should have been sleeping hours ago) thanks

cable not it

The new HDMI cable did not work. I am about to try this hd monitor if I ever get myself up and away from the computer.

Have you moved the 622 recently? There is a known issue that the HDMI ports break easily. If it was working and now isn't then this has probably happend and you need to get dish to send you a replacement.

thanks

Trying to get receiver replaced but haven't moved it in over 3 months. problem only occurred today. Thanks i will remember that and not move it around now though.

It really dosen't have anything to do with moving it the weight of the HDMI cable itself may be enough to cause jack problems on 211 and 622 receivers. It is a known problem with DISH HD receivers but DISH always denies their products have problems.

Surely the ubiquitous HDMI socket problem on the 622. Join the club! Most likely one or more of the 19 leads lifted from the pcb due to stress and/or temp. cycling. The "good" news is that you can still use the component connections for roughly the same HD PQ until the receiver is replaced. When you finally do get a replacement, make sure to not wiggle the HDMI plug any more than absolutely necessary to insert it (hopefully only once) and take some measures to off-load any cable weight that's pulling-down on that plug, as boba alluded. Also make sure the unit is well ventilated. Heat will take its toll and this is one hot-running unit!

There are several active threads on this situation - just search "622 HDMI" and read your fill!

Welcome, BTW...

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....

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Honestly, I would rather see an expanded bracketed playoff system than the current Conference Championship Game + playoff model we're using right now. The Conference Championships essentially allow two teams to beat up on each other, and then both typically are going to end up in the playoffs anyway unless it is one of the weaker or smaller conferences. Let them play it out on the field against others.

Until the Big Ten changed thier alignment, (a couple years ago) ... it was not like that at all, the East side won most years the west side represented the Big Ten, but they may have been the team with the 4th best record ...
They finally changed that, to a single conference ... but yes, in most cases, both teams will get in ... now, its a certain both will get in ...

The biggest issue with the Conference Now is the Number of TEAMS .... WAY to Many.
It would take 2-3 YEARS to do a round robin where everyone would play one another ... How do you know how good a team is when teams don't play the same teams ?

I like the move to campus sites for the early games. That adds a fun new dimension for fans, and cuts down on some of the travel expenses that would come with having to follow a team all the way through the playoffs at neutral sites.

Agree ... they started doing that a few years ago.

That'd be more than the FA Cup! Over 700 teams. It is also the most glorious tournament in the world.

Maybe it is time to get rid of the College Football season and just go to a tournament. 128 teams, fill in the bottom end with the lower division. Random draw (except the top 10 teams are in one bucket to draw from in the first and second rounds to avoid OSU v Alabama in the first round), go from 128 to 8. 4 games. Then the 8 remaining teams play 7 games against each other. Then the top two play for the title.

Actually I survived despite them for 31 years and two expait assignments. But the quest for the current quarter's profits doomed long term vision, planning and actions.
