AT&T 622HZ (Homezone)

[Scott Greczkowski]

Looks like they are starting to ship the AT&T 622HZ Receiver.

One SatelliteGuys member was lucky enough to get their hands on one as you can see by the pictures below.

Hopefully we will have a full review of the AT&T 622HZ soon.

Enjoy the pics!

Cool. Different looking remote though.

Look at that it's got HDMI and not an HDTV Digital Output

Doesn't appear to have the vented/slotted top like the 222. Real odd considering it is a DVR and will generate a fair amount of heat. I do expect the 622 to get a vented top in an upcoming hardware rev too....

If you remember FCC ID of ViP622, you'll find it is the same model with different FW and a case.

Could there be an issue with the HDDs emitting too much "noise" through a vented cover, hence why it's NOT slotted ??

New remote looks kind of slick!

I wish I could get my hands on one. I'm an AT&T and DISH customer.

Looks too simple to me. Not sure it has all the functionality.

If anybody could tell me where to get a top cover for ViP222, I wanna get it for my 622!

Its sort of Tivo-esque with the pause button being the central part of the remote.

I am curious what you are referring to. What is an HDTV digital output? Is there one on the regular 622?

P.S.

I guess my 622 is very old. It doesn't have a "HDTV digital output" either. The TV1 & TV2 section on mine looks exactly like the 622HZ. Can I get Dish to replace mine for a new one with the "HDTV digital output?"

They are both an HDMI port but on the vip622 I've only seen it labeled HDTV Digital Output.

Oh thank God!! The remote is BETTER than the original Homezone remotes. Ugh! Hated...HATED!!...those things

On the newer 622's it's labled "HDMI." I briefly had one of these, but it had other problems, and now I'm back to a remanufactured version "E" with an "HDTV Digital Output." At least it (the HDMI port) works!

FYI, Dishstore can order these Via special order. However im being told you need AT&T DSL for the VOD content to work correctly

Where's the review for this little baby? I would be interested in someone who has had first hand experience and Pictures PLEASE!

Not even! What u thing it sounds like a jet engine!

 

[Hall]

FCC ID talk, "noise", and so on imply electrical noise/interference, radiation, etc, etc.

 

[Foxbat]

I can understand the black tape over the Receiver and Smart card IDs, but what's the tape hiding on the left side of the back panel?
