I have a 622 that keeps resetting. If i have the Dish silver plan is Dish still replacing the VIP receivers?
I dont really want a Hopper.

The rep's will try to talk you into going hopper, but will replace it with a 722/722k if necessary. If you really want another 622, only way is to get a second hand one that is not leased. (not sure why you would do that since they are the same price per month tho)

I had a similar issue with my 622 once. I also noticed that the cooling fan was in overdrive all the time. I pulled the cover off and everything was covered with a layer of dust. A quick blow out (keeping the fan from spinning) was the fix.

Thanks Charles i will check that out. I have been busy getting my daughter into a dorm to really mess with it. I think i bought a tray with a fan that can go under the 622 to help with cooling.

Finally called today to get my 622 replaced. Only wanted to push me to a Hopper. Called Loyalty Dept. 888-496-1260 and they also pushed the Hopper. They wanted a 2 year agreement for them to purchase a refurbished 722 for my 622 and would also drop my bill $20 a month . I finally told them I would just go to DTV. Fiinally they agreed to replace my 622 with a 722 .

Been getting a lot of calls From DTV about 50% off bill. I may take them up on it if Dish can not get OKC thunder games.
