    comparison 622 vs. 722 vs. 722k? (install Oct 31st)

    never mind. It's now a moot point. Don't have a HD line of sight from anywhere. Too many trees. Go figure...... Direct TV will probably be the same issue. Thanks for all the help everyone!

    comparison 622 vs. 722 vs. 722k? (install Oct 31st)

    ok, was just told on the phone by dish that ALL receivers come with the new remote and can save/remember timers like the 722k somehow I don't believe this. can anyone confirm/deny this fact? I hate Comcast, but this whole signup experience give me major pause. I get told something totally...

    comparison 622 vs. 722 vs. 722k? (install Oct 31st)

    thanks for the advice everyone! OK, I understand the timer backup option now. Definitely a good thing. Didn't realize it actually stored it IN the remote These are exactly the kind of things I wanted to know in case the installer brings a 622 or 722 and I need to argue why I want the latest...

    comparison 622 vs. 722 vs. 722k? (install Oct 31st)

    thanks for the quick reply! black is better although I wouldn't freak over that alone. bigger hard drive is definitely important. (I was told I might get a 622 based on what inventory was available) OTA tuner not an issue for the foreseeable future. but worth noting. Could I trouble you for a...

    Hello all! I need to know exactly what the differences between HD DVR models is (622, 722, 722k) so I'm informed if I have to press an issue. Background: I used to be a LONG time customer of dish. Got it as soon as the company launched actually. Things change, I got fed up w/ certain dish...

    Hello everyone, First off I hope this isn't too *stupid* a question but.... I've lurked on this site for a while and have gotten GREAT info here, however, I've been gone for a while. I'm trying to decide between cable or upgrading my Dish stuff. Been a customer since the beginning (realy...

    Satellite channels go blank

    When did 2.69 come through? I've had this problem for over a month now. It seems to lock up mostly when I jump from OTA to sat HD channels quick. Everything goes blank and I have to hard reset it which takes like 15 minutes or so.... :mad: Once it actually froze while *aquiring sat* and I...

    811 Software P262 Update Now Available!

    got my 811 installed yesterday. so far I've got these problems: *Video over S-video is definitely dark and low level detail is non existant! I compared S-video output with the S-video out from my 508. 508 looks fine... componant output is ok though, both on HD and SD. *OTA HDTV looks...

    Sometimes I wonder - A Scott Comentary

    just OTA hopefully, to stay *competetive* with the OTA HDTV (if it is HDTV), cable and DBS will have to do something to compete. As it is, I almost get better HDTV from the antenna on my roof (free) than what Dish/Comcast is offering. I never thought I'd put an antenna back up, but at...

    Sometimes I wonder - A Scott Comentary

    correct.... but as more and more of the popular programs are starting to be recorded/ broadcast in HD, the chances of networks deciding to do everything in lower res 480 formats declines. (IMO) I am actually amazed that my local CBS station has their prime-time shows all in HD :shock: They...

    agreed, the government has MANDATED this. The FCC has said that EVERYTHING over the air has to be DTV by 2007. people should stop thinking that HDTV is a fringe group.
