    Dish 622 - $99 Upgrade Details

    There's an upgrade option for those of us who are 942 owners? Other than the one where we have to send them back our machine and in return they send us a 622 we don't own? Rod "sker66"

    622 Bugs

    For the last two months I've been struggling with 942 audio sync problems. I was hoping to hear that the 622 might fix them. Could you elaborate on your setup and what types of sync problems you are having? Thanks, sker6

    Any 942 HD subs ready to revolt yet or should we wait until tommorow?

    I purchased, at full retail, $700. I didn't really even get to complain about the fact they sent me a refurb. Because I was talking to a foreigner, I was focused on describing the basic situation and making sure they would send me a new one. It was like she didn't even know what a...

    Any 942 HD subs ready to revolt yet or should we wait until tommorow?

    Somebody mentioned that the Olympics won't be available to anyone without the new receivers. Is that true? Don't feel too bad. This just happened to me: partly because I was assured by my local authorized dealer than ESPN2 and Universal would be MPEG 2, I bought 942 day after Christmas...

    New HD Channels already showing up

    I know a lot of people reading this thread are pained over the developments. In my case, I bought a 942 the week leading up to Christmas and had it installed the day after Christmas. I was aware of some of the talk about MPEG 4, but when my local dealer assured me that I would be able to get...

    How many have worked a 622 deal already?

    Thanks. I don't know why my post didn't show my paragraph breaks. They were there when I typed it. I guess me and technology don't get along so well lately :) sker66

    How many have worked a 622 deal already?

    It's probably true that most people who read these forums were in a holding pattern since mid-December as you say. But the vast majority of people DO NOT read these forums. Most people DO NOT watch Charlie chat. Most people DO NOT search out the Dish press releases and read them. I didn't...

    How many have worked a 622 deal already?

    I'm a Dish subscriber of over 2 years, account always in good standing. We've always had the top 120 package with no premiums, so I guess our bill was around $45 to $55/month during that time. I NEVER upgraded our two 311 during that time. We've wanted a DVR unit for a long time now, so I...

    New DishHD Packages to be added February

    I'm not one who even knew about these "tech chats" with Charlie (Charlie is the CEO, I presume?). What do you mean "anyone under warranty gets a free upgrade"? Does that mean someone in my situation (bought a 942 less than 3 weeks ago) will get a free upgrade to the 622 when it comes out (in...

    New DishHD Packages to be added February

    My typo/mistake. I meant ESPN 2 HD originally. I was told ESPN 2 HD will definitely be available on my 942. sker66

    New DishHD Packages to be added February

    Probably hundreds a day are still buying/leasing MPEG2 hardware. That's my point about a "new model protection policy". Heck, I just started reading about all of this stuff on this forum. Most people won't be aware of any of these issues. Also, if going by what my local dealers were telling...

    New DishHD Packages to be added February

    dogday, Have you had any problems with audio sync? You say they tried to add Voom even though you had no way of receiving it. You can get the current Voom channels...I do with my 942/Dish 1000. That's been part of the frustration...there are a few concert things on the Voom channels that I'd...

    New DishHD Packages to be added February

    My unique Dish Hell I've been a dish customer for over 2 years. Switched to them after a few years of DirectTV before that. Started shopping for an HD plasma in September with the goal of getting one and starting HD programming in time for the Holidays and Bowl games. Finally settled on and...
