Side By Side PIP is not fixed cannot access it by pressing the Position button.

When I select TV Shows in Dish On Demand,Most Popular,select Done,it automatically goes to Search TV Shows.It did not do that before L631.

Had to do a Power button reset to reconnect to Dish On Demand.

Extended Guide with Picture barely shows the last channel(number 7) when paging up or down so it's of no use to me to try and use that Extended Guide with Picture.

Dish Online cannot refresh DVR through the website.

When highlighting a program in the guide there is no time run listed in the program's information,only when you press the info button do you see the time run listed.

+1 Thanks for saying that Scott. I'm kinda stick of all the complaints about fees and "oh look they lied again" bs that seems to be the line lately. Yes, we know you're upset, but repeating yourselves over and over again goes no where.

I only had to pay $200 to get mine and traded in a 622 on DAY ONE. It was a rocky start, but nothing I wasn't expecting. (Well except for loosing some programs when EHD was turned on the first time and then turned off because of bugs. But most came back when the software was fixed.) I regularly have three and on rare occasions four programs getting recorded and it works more often than not. Overall I'm happy with my 922 especially since the free Android app finally came out just like they said so. (I can be patient.) Being able to stream to my phone outside the home is such a great feature especially since the quality of the stream is much higher than I was expecting. And the incoming iPad app update will be the icing on the cake. If they can get GoogleTV support working before the Market gets turned on there next year. This will remain the only DVR on my account.

I said this very early. Everyone (on this site at least) went into this with eyes open. The box is getting better (in fact, it is almost to the point that I am interested in having it, so I don't have to turn on the Xbox and swap inputs to watch my daughters ripped stuff).

I bought a Windows Phone on launch day, because I like playing with new phone OS's. It is a bit buggy, but I knew it would be.

No one should complain, when they know what they are getting into. At least Dish is fixing it one issue at a time. Kudos to them for that. It's not much different than my 721. I loved that receiver bugs and all. By the end, it was a good trusty box. I would still have it, if the hard drive hadn't died and they couldn't give me another one.

My latest testing of L631 was that I was experiencing reboots last night and I disconnected from the internet to see if that would be the difference,it did not matter if I was disconnected from the internet or not my VIP622 would reboot when I would go into Dish Cinema and select TV Shows.

This morning it was working better it's almost like we need to wait for 48 hours after a software download because there is some improvement,yet I am still having the issue when I select TV Shows in Dish Cinema and try to exit it goes to Search then when I exit that it goes back to Dish Cinema,not TV Shows?

 

[Jhon69]

Here's something new I have never encountered on my VIP622 until now.

I have been having the wrong date being setup to record on my timers,so I have had to keep watch on my timer recordings to make sure the recording is the correct date.

Also I have been able to run out my guide to the end(it tells me my guide info is outdated)then I press update.I did that twice then I pressed no and I still was able to look at 9 days of guide.So it would seem L631 has some issues.

Two. One in the front one in the back. However, you can use a powered USB hub to add more devices.

great. thanks. same as 622. Could not tell from pictures.
I got a powered USB hub just in case. Got a 722k upgrade by calling (free w/ $15 service call fee). Plan to add $99 sling adapter next. Dish website will not let you order the sling adapter until the 722 is installed!

Noticed this morning when I would press my guide button to view the guide options and then cancel to view a full picture that I would have a small picture on the right side of my TV screen,I can then press cancel again and view a full sized picture.So it would seem that someone(wishful thinking?) is working on this Side by Side PIP problem issue with L631.

Just an FYI everyone says you need a powered USB hub, but I've been using a non-powered one to connect 2 hard drives with no issues at all.

And I've seen a DPP 44 switch running without a power inserter on RG59. Doesn't mean it's a good idea or won't cause problems later.

I've always used a powered hub because it prevents the EHD from turning on every time the receiver reboots.

On my 622, there is one more bug (besides the DVR folder bug already mentioned) that bothers me, and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this. When recording an OTA program, if you start watching the program while it is still recording, it will create a small glitch which always gives a "part of the recording was lost" error just at the time you started to watch the recording from the beginning. It seems to affect all OTA channels equally, even if they are full signal strength.

My EHDDs are always on. Have been for years.
