Last night, my Dish DVR (ViP-622) started doing something bizarre. When I turned on my plasma, the entire screen was covered with red and blue vertical lines and rows of pixels. The satellite image comes through too, but it is covered with red and blue. I checked the wiring and everything was ok there. The DVR is connected to the plasma via component since the HDMI output doesn't work (and Dish still claims it does three years after it became a known defect). I switched from component 1 inputs to component 2 inputs on the plasma and got the same result. I then tried running from a composite output on the DVR to a composite input on the plasma with the same result. I connected an old DVD player to the component 1 inputs (where the DVR was originally) and the picture is fine so that rules out the plasma as the culprit. Also the HDMI inputs from my HD-DVD and BD players are fine. The coax output to the bedroom tv works like it should.
Has anyone experienced this before? I know I'm going to end up having to replace the DVR with a new model (722) since the 622 is no longer being produced and it will cost me a merry $200 to do so which incences me to no end.
Has anyone else experienced this from a Dish DVR?
