Just got a VIP622 install and I'm sharing it with another TV. And I don't like only having one tuner. I've been use to recording a program and watching another one live. Having the VIP622 TV-2 setup all I can do is record a program and watch a pre-recorded program. So to fix that I'm getting either a 301 or 311 for the other TV and take back my second tuner 
. I'll be getting the extra receiver installed this Saturday with no installation fee.
:up Thank you Dish Store :up
Dish has been the best install of the three (*D, *C & *E). I ordered with Ernie with Dish Store on Monday. I was install on Tuesday. The installer was a Dish employee and not contracted out. His work looks a lot better than the contractor who install *D. The Dish installer actually hid the cables on the outside of the house.
I had only one problem. The IR remote for TV-1 would take up to 20 to 30 minutes before it would start working the receiver. It controlled the TV fine. The installer and I couldn' figure out what was going on but when he left it was working. This morning the same thing. I called Dish Tech and as he ran me through a few test he asked what kind of tv I had. I have a Sharp 37" LCD. He said that is probably the problem. Some of the LCD TV emit IR interference for 20 to 30 minutes. So Dish is sending me out a RF remote to use on TV-1.
Now that I have seen all three within the last 5 years I can say that Dish and Comcast has better PQ than DirecTv. Of course, OTA looks better than what I was getting from Comcast. The PQ of the SD on Dish is just as good as Comcast. Remember I have a 37" TV so I'm not seeing all the artifacts. I changed from Comcast to Dish because I wanted more HD. Plus when Comcast took over from TWC I lost HDNet and HDNet Movies. I liked those channels. Needless to say the EPG with Dish is a lot better than Comcast. But not quite as good as the Tivo I had with Directv.

I'm just use to having two tuners to use. I'm just selfish
TV-2 is used constantly. So recording to TV-2 would probably upset someone. Anyways, most of the time I'm usually recording one thing while watching another live. In dual mode I couldn't do that unless one of the channels was OTA.
Let me see if I understand. (I haven't been through the VIP622 threads yet). If I have it set in single mode I could record two programs and watch a live one as long as one of them was OTA? If, that's so, that's like having three tuners and will come in handy.

This same problem happened to me about 6 months ago. They sent me a new remote and the problem was fixed. Now the same problem has re-occured and I am getting ready to call again. I cannot get the remote to work for about the first 15 minutes or so.
Is this a known issue that they cannot fix?

Dish tech told me it is a problem with some higher end LCD TVs. He looked it up and said it still shows it could be a problem. He never did say if they were working on it. But, at least, they know there is a problem.
I would be curious to know if it is just with the Sharp TVs. I know when I was trying to pass-through the original picture mode (480i, 720p, 1080i) from the cable box through the HDMI cable, a 480i could not hold the sync. I ended up just letting the cable box up-convert the 480i to 720p.

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Several Dish offers showed up today in my account. Once you choose one the rest are removed. Offers were Showtime, Starz, AMC and others.

Not for me, mines has no mention of how long aka the offer period and the Terms and conditions the $0.00 is good for. All I see is one can lose $5.00 if you decide to remove it before day 31 after you add it to the account.
You have a different offer that is free for a shorter timeframe which is different than the one that I and bnewt saw without defining the promotion period as I sent the question to DISH Care via Facebook Messenger and this is the response I got back 20 minutes ago.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.
