    Can the HDTV light be turned off on 922?

    Man that light is BRIGHT!!! When I am watching a BluRay the HDTV moniker is unbelivably bright. Is there a menu item whereby that blasted light can be turned off?!!:mad:

    922 pausing every two to three minutes?

    Well, I now have my 922 pausing every two to three minutes for about 10 to 15 seconds before it continues what I am watching. I do watch most of my tv on the DVR as I can zip past the pesky commercials but it also happens during live broadcasts. While I was watching the Lakers/Thunder...

    Woops!! Can't Create New Folders! Help?

    Why does 129 look better then 61.5 (PQ)?

    All the new HD recently motivated me to move my 61.5 dish to pick up 129. Both my wife and I have noticed significant Picture Quality improvement along with a noticable improvement in the sound quality too for HD being received from those satellites. Since both sats are broadcasting HD in...

    SUCCESS!! 65.1 TO 129 Wake Forest, NC

    I want to thank Iceberg and Digiblur for their posts on several threads that enabled me to swing my 61.5 single (not even a Dish300) over to capture 129. I installed a new pole that elevated my dish to 6.5 feet and lined it up with my lovely wife's help (she watched the signal meter in the...

    Raleigh, NC move 61.5 to 129?

    Okay, seems that 129 is the dish to be on. I currently have two seperate locations for my two sats. 110-119 and 61.5 is on a single dish on its own pole. That pole will allow for me to rotate the sat and have los for 129. All my receivers are HD (301, 211, 622). My questions is pretty...

    Have problem receive one OTA channel - VIP622?

    Was out of town when OTA went totally digital. I live in the Raleigh, NC area and when I got home on Sunday 14th I could not tune in ABC channel 11. I noticed that ABC changed from 52.1 to 11.1. I do not believe this to be a problem because I also receive CBS channel 5 which is now 5.1 with...

    Keep the BD35 or exchange for the BD 60?

    Well I just saw that Costco has the Panasonic BD-60 in store for $279. I have only had the BD-35 for 6 weeks and I can take it back and exchange for the BD-60. I have not been able to find a review on the BD-60 so I am not sure if I want to do that -- anybody have any thoughts?

    Help! My Screen is Split!!!

    Over the last two weeks I have noticed that while watching tv the screen has been split in the middle. It seems as though the bottom half is shifted two to three pixels to the right of the top half. My viewing was on a Pioneer 630HD RPTV with the picture coming from a VIP622. Last night...

    Getting Panasonic BD-35 to work?

    I had a little problem getting the Panasonic Bd-35 to work with my Onkyo 805. Seems the Panasonic reverts to automatic over the HDMI and the Onkyo checks over HDMI for 1080p first. Since my Pioneer 630HD DVI is 1080i I would get great sound but no video. To solve that I had to hook up the...
