Broken HDMI (not really a new topic)

[whatchel1]

It took all of 1 Day for the HDMI cnnector to break on the output of the 622. I even had strapped it together wit 2 other cables to help steady it. Sure hope the 722k comes out soon and has a better HDMI output connector. Had to start this new thread due to other thread was too old.

Did you just get this 622? The newer ones supposedly don't have the problem.

Had it a long time

No just got the new HDTV that has the HDMI input so never used it before. I've had the 622 for well over a year.

I didn't say I wasn't getting an HD picture just that the HDMI was broken. I'm gonna use the comp until the 722k comes out then I will report the problem of the broken HDMI and get the 722k and try to say get the price of the 2nd OTA module thrown in for the inconvenience I had had to go thru.

MT2 OTA Module

I know this may be picky, but apparently the 222k and the 722k do not have any OTA capability built in, but the MT2 OTA Module adds two digital over-the-air tuners (using one port) and a Channel 3-4 coaxial output. See www.dishnetwork.com/receivers/hd/OTA/OTAModuleProductBrochure.doc

Get out your soldering iron and open up your receiver...

I will probably look but since I lease it's a defect in the hardware. If I play w/soldering it may show that I've been inside. Then I might catch L for that. I looking to push the inconvenience etc to get the 722k for free.

I think you are giving Dish more credit than they deserve!

But, I understand about not wanting to tamper with a leased receiver and now that you mention pushing for a 722K I'm wondering if my HDMI jack is not starting to break too.

I opened the 622 up only way to repair this thing is to replace the jack. It isn't the traces on the circuit board but piss poor connector inside the housing that connects to the circuit board.

Thanks for looking! Let us know how the bid for a 722k goes.

WH is still waiting for a GOOD 722K! I'm his brother! He had to move so held off a bit, then when he got Rcvr at new place, opened it up to find it was a 722, NOT a K. He hopes to get a K soon! He's in the midwest.
I'm in CA and just switched from DTV. Got a 722K installed this week. Installer said that K's are all they have in the west coast warehouse. I plan to order an OTA mod tomorrow...
