My install failed this morning. The 622 I was sent had no TV1 output, in any mode, or connector output. UHF output to TV2 worked just fine.
Tech said it was the first bad 622 he has in seen in 2 months.

I opted to keep the 2 dish setup, instead of a 1000, so he just popped a new 'lens' in the 110/119 dish, which included the additional feed out for the 622.

Signal strength came in at 89, 90, 98 for 110, 119, and 61.5, respectively.

He phoned in the bad receiver and expected me to have another by Wednesday. I asked if I could do a self-install, he did not think it would be a problem. Except now they seem to always ask for tech number before they will authorize it. But he said I can try it anyway, or call Dish first and see what they say. It should be plug n play essentially. You have everything else you need except a good 622.

to be continued............
