| | | How To Re-Initialize The Hard Drive on DVR
This was sent to me... have not tried it... for Re-Initializing the HDD on your Dishnet receiver Quote:
SELECT THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS (works with Dish 522 and some other
receivers)
1. Menu
2. 6
3. 3 (the Diagnostic screen should appear)
4. Info
5. Right button
6. Left button (screen filled with hexadecimal figures should
appear)
7. Play
8. Play
9. Recall (message saying that the hard drive will be
re-initialized)
| Note: only try this as a last resort...

I'd be careful entering any of those backdoor commands. There are some out there that can reformat your hard drive among other things.
