Mysterious Timers Appearing on 722

[DishSubLA]

wkomorow's experience may be closer to the truth. I do remember a thread a while ago about recordings that were never set, but the OTA loss of signal was problem related. Yes, in fact, OTA loss of signal has screwed up DVR in numerous ways--including not recording my timed events--that I now take care to always leave my box tuned to satellite channels when I put it in standby.

What Dish needs to do is to isolate the OTA tuner in some way so that OTA signal loss does not screw up the satellite channels. I will have an OTA signal loss tune the same channel (from sateliite) and have it tell me that it can not find the satellite signal - I have to reset the receiver to get it working again.

Someone else in the neighborhood has a Dish Network setup and their UHF remote is controlling your box bacause you and they are using the default remote address. Go to the User Manual and change the ADDRESS used by your remote before they start buying PPVs and you get billed for them.

IT HAPPENS and you may not get out of the bill...

I have done this already. There is no evidence anyone is controlling it in that way.

The recording did all seem to be locals.
