I had a 301 and it never did this. Now with the 622 I get "Press select to continue" everyday and it's beginning to annoy me. I have inactivity turned off and program guide set for 12 am and the "Press select to continue" happens in the middle of the afternoon. Why?

Is it really that annoying? Check updates unless by inactivity you mean updates. Make sure its at 3am not in the afternoon. You could always disable updates and power off tv1/tv2 at your leisure at the potential cost of s/w update and guide download.
Alternatively you could hire someone to press select for you.
i dont have this officially from dish, but to me, the reason for the screen saver is the same reason screen savers started on computers. to prevent screen burn in.
Lets say some little old man left his brand new HD tv with his brand new 622 on CNN all the time, and never turned off the receiver, wouldnt take too terribly long and there would be a nice little banner burned into the screen. The screen saver is there to protect some customers from themselves.

I understand what he's saying, I have the same problem and If I turn it off, it should be off. Kind of annoying like MSN on Windows
Problem with it being Off when you turn it Off. People complain about how long it takes the hard drive to spin up when you turn it on. Anyone with the older style 5xx receivers will tell you that.
Go to menu, then press 8, then press 9. There you can adjust the inactivity setting to up to 8 hours before the screen saver kicks in.
And once you figure out how to stop it, you'll be back here later "annoyed" because your TV's got screen burn-in.
Man you know what used to really be a drag is when you had to get your butt off of the sofa to turn the tube on.
