I use the HDMI on my 622, I haven't had any problems yet except for the audio output only being 2 channel.
after going through 2 211's with bad hdmi ports, my 622 has worked fine (I NEVER touch the cable anymore!)
You clearly saw a different tech chat than everyone else in North America.
That's what I saw as well.
Since they took the time to explain 1080p/24, is there any chance they'll be using this format? I'm still waiting for some BD movies that have this feature, but I'm not holding my breath...
Also, what's this about a 'hardware' issue with HDMI supporting 2 ch only? The 622 can't output LPCM over HDMI? Were only months away from v1.3 receivers hitting the streets with support for for the new HD audio formats. I can still use optical and HDMI for 5.1 can't I? (so much for a single cable solution...)

I'm assuming when they said "before the end of summer 2006" they hit the 6 key instead of 7 or 8
They just want those of us with CRT HD-TV's to have to suffer through manually changing the output resolution a bit longer.

Thanks! always nice to have other take's /versions...
(I was stuck at work and didn't get home till the chat was over, so was behind the curve )
They finally admitted what we have known for months, that the design of the 211/622 HDMI connector is severely flawed and many will break under normal usage?
About time. I said months ago that they would eventually have to make this admission.
As to how often do they break? We don't have enough data to be certain, but I conducted two polls of 211/622 users who were using their HDMI connectors, and the data gathered from them suggested that approximately 60% of these connectors would break in less than 1 year, unless you took steps to relieve the pressure placed upon the connector by the HDMI cable.

This tech forum caught alot of attention and provided alot more info than many of the previous chats have, just my opinion... but it would be nice if all of these dishnetwork chats did this Bobabird and Mark Lamatt did bang up jobs on their recaps Imho read all of the recaps at the various sites as some of us might miss something that the other one caught...

A few of us have had our HDMI outs go dead. It has happened to me twice..... Unit never is moved, yet somehow the output gets damaged.... Switching to the components solves the problem, but I'd rather use the DVI input on my TV instead since it is clear... Wound up hooking my son's Wii with composite inputs instead of the HD ones his gamecube had used to make room...
pleasant surprise to hear the tech guys fess up (and blame the standards guys for designing a weak connection). Still curious to see if the CSRs have gotten the memo though....
Actually, it isn't bad if you have the extended warranty, you get a fresh unit with a new hard drive and any other improvements as often as you want....
