New HDMI issues with L443

[ctjr]

I posted this in the release notes, but I'm thinking that might not have been the right place-- sorry!

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone is having any "new" HDMI issues with the update? Two posters over at AVS are reporting their Panasonic projectors no longer work with Dish (over HDMI) since their dvrs were upgraded to Rev L433. They say component still works fine.

I'm a bit concerned as I plan to purchase the same projector very soon and generally use HDMI only.

I'm no luddite, but it seems like this Dish software upgrades perhaps a bit TOO often?

I even have one of the CRT hd sets that dish sold under their logo, that only had DVI. It worked fine with the shipped 722 software but when it DL new software. BAM Black screen. Works fine on component. But not with HDMI to DVI cable...

Watched football all saturday on my Optoma HD70 with the new 4.43 software running. No problems! I'm using HDMI.

Well, no problems for me but plenty for Notre Dame!

So w/ crappieguy, that's at least 3 who worked fine prior to the software, and now DON'T. I would imagine there are probably more.

When last I checked, the guys over at AVS were still battling w/ DISH to even acknowledge a problem exists.

Have you sent all your info to beta.bugs at echostar dot com so they can have a look at where the handshake is breaking down?

I've got 3 HDMI sets, all working fine with L443.

Glad I'm using component.

Yes, we all share in your joy. And that helps us... how?

My HDMI on one of my 622s crapped out this past weekend.

Be sure to call in your HDMI issues to report them to technical support and email that same report to ceo at echostar so that Dish gets a clue that HDMI is big a problem. The biggest problem with the HDMI issue is that so few people use HDMI and so few who do use it report it not working anymore that Dish doesn't understand the scope of the issue.

Call and email, early and often.

EXCELLENT advice! That's about the only way I've ever gotten any movement from them... or any other provider.

I just activated a new 722 w4.43 and the HDMI worked fine through my Denon receiver out to a projector. It looked pretty good!

My HDMI wont work this morning. Worked fine last night.

I never said anything about it helping anyone. I simply wanted to gloat. Component is much more reliable, with very little difference in picture quality.
