722 to EHD

Hello teachers,

This is a second grade question: Have a 722 and MyBook Essential transferring recordings right now. Have already found out but would like your confirmation. If I commence the archive process and then turn off the receiver and TV, the transfer process stops, correct? I learned the hard way that the receiver and TV need to be on for the process to occur.
If it doesn't need to be on, what would I do to keep the transfer process in action?

Thanks for being patient.

I've turned off my receiver and TV during a transfer many times; it always continues. Not sure what's going on with yours.

I know in the past (year ago) I had always turned the TV and box off without any issue. But recently in the last few months I have tried a couple times and have the same experience, transfer stops. So I've been leaving things on now when doing transfers.

Thanks for the replies. Just for confirmation, called DISH, and asked same question. Their reply was OK to turn off TV, but leave receiver on. Hmmm.

The receiver is NEVER off, just in standby...where such functions are a go. OFF is when you unplug it. Whether or not your TV is on is irrelevant. Common sense!!!

You would think, but mine does not work this way.

Then don't do what you think you are doing to turn it off.

When I turned off the receiver, the transfer did not take place. If left on, meaning the lights are on, then transfer takes place. TV can be on or off, but my receiver if off (no power lights), does not transfer.

At one time, in-process transfers would indeed continue after powering the unit off, I used to do it all the time, queue up a bunch of archives then turn it off and go to bed.

A couple times waking up finding nothing had been moved broke me of that habit. I think L622 is when it stopped working.

Thanks for your input and heads up. It took me about 75 minutes of no transferring to find out, and now, will not shut down the receiver, just TV. Like the idea of recording overnight though, so thanks for that.

What is KAB referring to about the receiver in standby mode not off?
