I have been waiting on my 622 for a month now (ordered Feb 15th). I can definitely imagine that those of you that order yours on April 1st (Fools Day!) will really be waiting a long time.
Dish Chat
Scott, did they give any idea about the total change over to MPEG4, and what the card swap of the original 301s would accomplish?
Are we going to see the end of the pirates?
Do we expect all the channels to be moved from 121 to the new 110?

Nothing about that was said nor do I expect anything like that for quite a long timeDish-Direc said:
I doubt it.
No. Some channels will go to the wings, other channels will go to 110 and 119.
Only my 2nd remote has a key... my number one does not. The green number 1 seems to be permanently attached.
Great Re-cap Scott.....I missed the first 20 mins of it I almost forgot, till I loged on here and seen the chat going. I will have to catch on of the replays but doesn't look like anything to worry about, I was mostly interested in if they were going to move locals from Super Dish.

Did they say when the pocketdish would be going down? The existing rebate ends 4/15, I would guess that would be when it drops?
Scott Greczkowski said:
Are all of the channels that went from 105 to 129 still be on 129 or are they going to switch them to 110? When you say that most folks with a Dish300 will need an upgrade soon are you referring to those that want locals that are currently getting them on the conus slots which are going to spotbeam such as Atlanta? Are all of the basic stations still going to remain at 119 as they are now?

The 622 TV#1 remote is IR only. The TV2 remote can be changed to TV1 with the insert. But, they do not send an insert for TV1. You can take out the key and use a toothpick to manually move the switch one notch to the left and it will be a TV one remote. Just have the gap in the remote where they key is supposed to be.
Or, you can do like I did and call up Claude at Dishstore.net and tell him you need an UHF TV#1 remote. He will send you a remote that has a set of keys with it, one key is the UHF TV1.
I just got my 622 Wednesday and just figured out last night that I couldn't use the second remote for TV1 (In Single Mode).
Today I checked the forum and found that I CAN do it by flipping the key on Remote 2.
Way Cool!!! Thanks Scott & Thanks Guyz!!!!

the SD 105 markets will be moving to either 110 or 129 because DIsh rents the satellite on 105
WHich market are you in?

I'm in a 105 market. It is Davenport, IA/Rock Island, IL market. I still have my D500 on my roof. I guess I will leave it up for a little bit longer.
I also would like to know when they plan to move the locals over to 110.
Thanks,

Sounds like a cool plan.
If 105 can be elliminated in the SD markets then a D1000 can be used to receive SD locals plus all HD channels elliminating the 61.5 wing.
What is the Time frame of the move? Echo 10 have to get up and running first?
Montgomery, Alabama is what I'm interested in.

My number 2 remote works for tv1 in single mode... It didnt until i went through some remote recognizing procedure in the manual... after that the #2 remote works on tv1...
As far as the keys go.... I was about to become a violent person and jump up and down and throw the ^%%$#& remotes... I couldnt get any of them out... I have a TV1 IR, a TV2 UHF and one with a grey key that came with the 211

They said as clear as bell (.. which ones) :amomenit said:
"DISH will be shutting off earlier versions of the Yellow smart cards (Part # 108659 that can be found on the back of the card) ...which were distributed with earlier 301s, etc.. this will be effective March 16, 2006
Customers with those cards have already been swapped with a newer ones..."
