Pocketdish+722 Not Working

[AJF]

I've used my Pocketdish (Archos 500) in the past with my 522 receivers without any problems. I now have all 722's and tried hooking up to that and I'm having problems.

First it wasn't recognized at all by the receiver, so I downloaded the latest firmware from Archos. It shows up fine now and I can access it just like any EHD, but when I try to transfer any programs to it, I get a message saying it can't accept HD programs, even though the programs I'm trying to transfer are not HD.



What could the problem be?

Query whether you are on the Eastern Arc. If you are, even the SD channels will be MPEG4 which will not work with pocketdish.

That kind of stinks! I still use mine a lot and this will soon make these unusable!

Yup Eastern Arc thanks Jake. And yes, that does suck!

Many of us are unhappy about it. If they got it working with HD & MPEG-4, I'd gladly buy it. I'd love to take some of my HD recordings with me to our RV. Internet is slow 3G there, so no sling.

Sadly, 'tis not to be. Dish & Archos don't seem to love each other any more.

My 922 slings just fine on a 3G network on my iPhone and laptop.
