HDMI Switch and Dish Network

Hello good people...

I have Dish network with VIP-622 DVR. I have a Samsung DVD player both
using the HDMI output. I have only one pre-wired HDMI cable running to
the TV form the entertainment center.
I just bought a switch from eforcity.com (http://www.eforcity.com/
227123.html) and when I connect the DVD player it works perfectly but
it will not pass the Dish signal.
Based on the spec - the switcher is supporting DDWG Compliant monitors
and HDCP enabled devices.
Do you have any clue / advice / similar experience ... why it will not
work?
I am so frustrated! :-(

HDMI switches are always a crap shoot. When I switched from a Philips
42" plasma to a Panasonic 42"plasma, my switch would only work with 2
of 3 components. I switched it with this one http://tinyurl.com/38a737
from eHDMI.com and it worked fine; but that's by no means a guarantee
you'll have the same success.

Not sure if I want to buy another on-line. Most places will not return
your S&H.
I have the Dish VIP-622 DVR and they are saying it might be software
but they don't have any upgrades at this point...
Oh well.. it is a crap shoot....

You've probably tried this, but some of these switchers need to have the
correct sequence of powering up the different components for them to work
properly.
