    Defragment USB hard drive?

    I deleted a series of back to back recordings I had made early in the drives use and the problem went away. From the replies, I should have mentioned this was a nearly full hard drive in a USB case connected to a 211. And indeed a USB memory stick can become fragmented, but the speed...

    Defragment USB hard drive?

    Doing anything in DVR takes forever and I can no longer see antenna channel I paused, if I am also recording from satellite at the same time. Playback of paused live has no sound and a full picture every 5 seconds or so, everything else is trashed. Fast forward to live and antenna video is OK...

    Trade Starz for MAX and HBO

    I've had Starz free ever since I became a subscriber. They just called and made me the offer and I said no, I want to keep Starz for free. She said that in order to keep Starz, I would have to pay for it now. So I tried to get her to admit that they were taking Starz from me and she never...

    Lots of VIP-211 crashes - both units, Total loss of Signal, Sat. and OTA - clear skies

    By the way, I don't use 129. Saw a thread about low OTA signals causing problems, so deleted all low signal OTA channels. System crashed with complete OTA signal loss error 3 hours later.

    Lots of VIP-211 crashes - both units, Total loss of Signal, Sat. and OTA - clear skies

    Last few days, both of my VIP-211 units have crashed several times with total loss of signal errors for Satellite and for OTA and said to power cycle. Signal levels for both Sat. and OTA are fine. Did Dish put out a bad upgrade lately?

    Free locals cause DVR recording problem

    Actually, the problem is that the remote does not let me enter sub channels, like 6.1. If I happen to be recording a satellite channel and try to watch a local channel, now it will not let me until I stop the recording, because it takes me to the satellite local, not the antenna local. I can...
