  1. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    +1 I recently had to send back my 612 because the cooling fan failed and the unit started seriously overheating. I used this unit for about 3 years and in that time my #1 complaint was a freezing picture while the audio continued. This happened quite often and required a reboot to correct...

    I'm on my 3rd VIP612 since I upgraded to HD about 3 years ago. The first 2 were constantly freezing and were an annoyance. While my current 612 still has a few glitches and is not perfect, it serves me well compared to the first two 612's. I use my 612 many hours each day, use record and...

    Last night I had this happen to me for the first time. I was watching a recorded program when there was a quick video studder followed by serious audio sync problem. I stopped the recording and then resumed and all was well. At the time I was not recording another program. I have a VIP612 hooked...

    I have also been experiencing these audio drop outs, some as long as 10 seconds. Most recently while watching TSOU address last evening on MSNBC. But this has also happened on HBO, SHO and other channels. I'm running HDMI out of a VIP612 through a Yamaha reciever to my TV. I'm on EA. No problems...

    I stopped watching network TV 16+ years ago. Stopped watching the Discovery networks about 5 years ago. Have never watched any reality programming. If I absolutely need to see a program I DVR it. I even DVR the 2 or so hours of news I watch each day. I do watch alot of movies but even the...

    My thoughts exactly. My Dish remote has done this clicking for years. I've noticed that the longer I hold the remote in my hand which heats it up, the more the delay in hearing these sounds. Also the clicking might happen more than once. If I just grab it, change channels and set it down theres...

    Babes In Toyland (March of the Wooden Soldiers) 1934 movie with Laurel & Hardy. Always watched this as kids during the Christmas season but haven't seen it on TV for many years now.

    This has been a gripe of mine for years. Long gone are small out of the way station logos on the bottom right of your TV screen. First of all, if I tune to a channel most likely I KNOW what channel I'm tuned to and do not need a reminder. A simple voice over "your watching CBS" just before the...

    Or, just go to NOAA's National Weather Service on your computer. No ads or animated crap at all. Strictly weather customised to your location by entering your zip code / city, state. Simple 7 day forecast with radar and even hour by hour forecast graphic. Fast if you just want to know if its...

    The interactive popup has never appeared on either the SD or HD channel 213 for me. And I've watched Weather Cast for a long enough time for this to happen. As I mentioned in an earlier post I was able to get the interactive feature (the same one seen in the Weather Cast promos on 213) to come...

    I've tried the SD version of Weather Cast on channel 213. Interactive did not work. I still cannot get the interactive local weather on Weather Cast HD 213. I have a VIP612 with a phone line connected. I went to Dish channel 100 and there I was able to get the interactive feature to work once...

    Yes.....I woke up this morning to video of SE radar that was being broadcast late last night. In fact the whole segment was at least 6 hours old. One other observation. I have not been able to use the interactive feature yet. Is this up and running ?
  14. General DISH™ Discussion
    Not I. I tuned in and watched Weather Cast for a bit. Nice screen shots. A small banner at the bottom of the screen with 24 hour & extended forecasts. Great picture quality. To TWC I say Bye Bye to endless banners and multiple screens blocking out weather video and radar. Bottom 1/3 and left 1/4...

    Good morning Carl. I played a bit with the energy sub last night trying to see if the subs were out of phase. I need to set aside enough time to watch a movie that will give the subs a workout so I can make any adjustments. Up until yesterday I was only using the Bose passive sub which is...

    I absolutely love the enthusiasm here.... I spent the whole day with my Yamaha. This morning I went back to the store for a small sub-woofer and a pair of speaker stands. I have an aging Bose Acoustomas 5 speaker system (for FL, FR & Center channels with a passive Bose sub). I have smaller Bose...

    Still hoping I can get an answer to this question. I have not started the install yet as there is lots to do to get my A/V console ready for the Yamaha upgrade. I'll probably do this on Saturday. If no one here can answer this question then I will call Yamaha support. I just want to make sure I...

    Thank you Carl. I will play with my new toy. I use my A/V reciever mostly for movies so 5.1 or 7.1 surround is what I'm interested in (I have a 7.1 set up). But I do listen to music occasionally so I have a few cheap speakers I can use to experiment with using presence. Ed.
  19. Home Theater Audio
    I just purchased a Yamaha RX-V665 A/V reciever. While looking over the the details of the unit I see there is a feature I'm not familiar with. It is the "presence" option which calls for extra front L & R speakers. Instructions claim that this feature incorporates extra ambient effects produced...

    +1 I rarely tune in to TWC these days. I go to NOAA for my local weather daily. I'll go to NOAA often if there is severe weather around. NOAA local radar is there real time 24/7. No waiting for TWC to see fit to show local radar. Al Roker was annoying years ago when I only recieved over the air...
