I thought the Wally is limited to 1 TB

Ok if I have to format what is a good 1TB EHD replacement?

I upgraded to a Wally from my old VIP 211z. The Wally doesn't recognize the drive having content on it and wants to format the drive. Is there anyway to save the contents of the old drive so the Wally can use it?

I found the solution to the problem. And the answer is weird. Initially, I purchased a square cat 7 cable (75') and it didn't work. I read on Amazon it only works with a round cat 6 cable. And it does. I don't understand the difference but its working like a champ. A simple HDMI splitter...

Can't seem to get this setup to work. I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WZJ4QVT/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza I tried a 75' cat 7 square cable. Is this unit too cheap to work or do I need to use a different cable? I have the Hopper 3. I want to mirror the Superbowl.

And.... I got the new reciever today and it's working for now. I posted this to see if others were having the same problem..

It locks and sits there. The only fix (besides bitching at Dish) is a reboot, run check switch and wait. Dish did send a tech, and they are going to replace the receiver. The tech didn't have a high opinion of the 622. He had lots of bad receivers! My reciever is over a year old. And I've...

Maybe it's good news for both Dish and Direct. I would guess it's nervous time for Sea Launch and returning to operations after the explosion.

What is the status of the Tivo lawsuit?

Iv'e got SunRocket and it doesn't work with the 622. My 508 works fine with no issues. The whole thing makes me crazy. I even switched out the 622 and it made no difference. ;-(

Sierra Madre, CA just above Arcadia and east of Pasadena!

I just got a message on my my Vip 622 that the standard definition channels for the networks have been reassigned to the local channel numbers. This is a big deal if you have a Pocketdish. You cannot transfer any HD programming to Pocketdish. It's not compatable. So by re assigning the...

Santa's on a diet! Merry Christmas fatty!

Also because of the footprint issue the electronic channel guide is super slow. That was one of the main reasons I dropped Bellexpressview. I'm in the Pasadena area.

Better for who??....certainly not the end user who is going to foot the bill for this mess. I hope Tivo loses this battle and I'm glad Dish is fighting this. I had Tivo's box when I was with DirecTv and in my opinion Dish is the superior machine. And their interface couldn't be more...
