    722k EHD not responding...

    So after running through some checks, here is where I'm at. When connected to any port on the receiver, it has the same effect. When I remove the drive from the encloser and mount it in Linux, I see the drive and the contents, but it seems slow to respond. I have run some FS checks and they come...

    722k EHD not responding...

    Having issues over the last few days. My EHD on my 722k seems like it is dying. Everytime I try to access it through the "my media" link in the dve playback, the screen freezes until a reset is done. The drive Lois like it is being read like crazy during this time. It senses the drive when it...

    What's with CH 9852-BOWL?

    From the guide it looks like they opened up the LA nbc affiliate to all subs. No idea why though.

    EHD going into "sleep" mode

    I've tried it and it seems that it won't be recognized by the receiver unless I power down the drive as well. Plus the point is not having to phisically unplug the drive to use it. If that was the case, I would just unplug the power to the drive unless I needed it to save wear and tear on the drive.

    EHD going into "sleep" mode

    I have a "not supported" EHD connected to my 722k and it seems to go into a disk spin down sleep mode after a few hours of idle time. Usually this is a good thing, except that the receiver loosed the connection to the drive. In order to view the drive is to unplug, power down and reconnect the...

    Has This Happen to anyone??

    Or in general with the CSC doesn't code the movers correctly. 9 times out of 10 I will spend 30mins to an hour on the phone with CSC to get them to recode the account and reauthorize the receivers. Even then, the old locals would get stuck in the box for 24-48 hours till the new guide...

    211K changed from Dish 500 to 1000.2 - can't find satellites

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but will the point dish screen show anything when dialing up 119 if the check switch shows all x's (if you were to checkswitch with nothing connected)? Have you run a new check switch after finding some signal using your meter? You need to do Jim was saying using your...

    CES - DISH Sling Receiver

    $15 for a svc call? Tell them your 622 is finiky and hope the tech has a 722? As far as the whole home sling, why can't they just use the homeplug and a 211k? Just use the homeplug to dial up the content on the 722k and stream it. Also, does this require a separate homeplug or will a 722k...

    VIp722K and it's tuners

    If you are recording two shows on the same channel right after another, the box will automatically adjust the start/end times and run one recording into the other so it doesn't tie up two turners. You can adjust this by setting up both, and then going into the scheduled recordings screen ( DVR...

    Slow remote advise

    It is a software issue. L662 introduced the enhanced program guide to the 722k where you would see the ads in the bottom of the programming guide. Everytime you pull up guide or the new DVR main menu, there would be a lag from the receiver pulling up the VOD information for the ads. This was...

    RG59/U Cable

    And tip your tech... I've used RG59 many times. As long as the total length of the wire that is 59 is under 80' then it should hold the signal just fine. Just remember that walls can add up to 12' of length to a cable. Meaning, going up the wall outside, and then down the wall to the jack, you...

    dish combo

    Not to mention you would have to do some heavy modification just to fit the LNB on the arm. You would be better off getting the 1000.2 dish and a quick pipe adapter to fit it on your 2" mast.

    new dish user with a problem... hi/help!!

    I believe you are right. I couldn't remember if the sat co's downresed them for bandwidth issues on most channels or not. The correct broadcast standard usually mandates a 1080i stream, at least OTA broadcasts. Point still remains, there is a great difference between 1080i and 1080p when it...

    new dish user with a problem... hi/help!!

    Common lie that is told by any store to get you to buy the "premium" cables. This cable here can only work up to 720p, but this one over here, made using the hairs of newborns who were baptized in the holy water blessed by the pope himself, then ran through the excrement of a unicorn, can do...

    Just Signed for DISH -- Delayed Installation

    For once, I agree with Claude. Go through with the appointment and have the tech explain to you how everything is going to be installed. You need to make sure it is within your exclusive area as others have stated, and if it is, go ahead with the install. If not, place the appointment on hold...

    622 and Sling Adapter????

    I have heard it from the training departments that it was more due to the chipset not being able to handle it. I tend to believe that since I've never had a 622 operate at the same speed as a 722, granted the latest round of software updates has almost crippled the 722...

    Poor Signal from 722 mod output

    Please tell me you realize that the second TV is not going to be in HD. Far from the 1080p resolution of your flatscreen, the box only puts out 480i on the second TV.

    signal improvement

    Normally, if you have a correctly peaked dish (including a plum mast) then there should be no rain fade unless it is visually impairing or black clouded sky. If you want to get a hacked setup going with the most signal possible, try three 1000.2's, each with "W" brackets. Place a DP...

    722 w/OTA & Home Distribution on 1 Coax ?

    Triplexer goes on the back of the receiver. Plug the three lines into the Sat1 port, Sat2 port, and Home Distribution ports. The cables should be labeled and the triplexor says which Sat port is which. Then, you put a diplexor anywhere in between the ground block and that wall plate (i.e...

    Dish 1000.2/.4 (Need Help!!!)

    Right, next time, make sure you are fully peaked at home and run a check witch, then go to the site and peak without check switch. Or if you do, don't click the save button if it comes up with the "less satellites" error. That way you know the receiver is looking for the correct sats and you run...
