    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    Our tivo has line inputs (series 2) with the ir dongle to control the dish box (I miss the old direct tv boxes with the serial connection) the reason that won't work is we don't user timers. Tivo's record dynamically ie intelligently. you don't pick times you pick "programs" and it finds them...

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    my fear is that the tivo will now be out of sync with what channel it "thinks" the tv is on. or if its actually recording something I just changed channels on it :-)

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    reduces the problem but still means after 8 hours the box is off and we get NO recordings. in fact an 8 hours gap would happen 5 or 6 times a week easily. still means a long time before someone "notices" and presses a button to turn it back on :-)

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    HEY nothing happened. a little clock started blinking in the corner 5 minutes before the timer "time" but nothing happened. this is good. now question is will this reminder wake the unit up and will this timer KEEP it from going to sleep IE reset the timer?

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    drat just checked. I can not set a timer for an invalid channel because there is no way to "ENTER" a channel. you have to "SELECT" from a list of channels. I set one as a reminder. I still have to pick a channel but I am hoping it won't "change" the channel and will simply go away on its own...

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    hmm what about a regular timer ie so I can set one for every 3 hours to keep it from falling asleep. can I set that to an invalid channel? what will happen if I do that? sucks about the auto to 101 cause the tivo will think its on the channel it "was" on. Wonder if I can make the tivo ALWAYS...

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    its every 3-4 hours of inactivity. it probably also does overnight are you saying it reboots into "standby" automatically. anyway to stop that? a timer or some sort maybe? can I set a timer that does not change the channel? what if I set at time for an "invalid" channel (if that is even...

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    the DISH box is going to standby so the TIVO now can not change the channels IE the tivo recordings are nothing but the black screen saying your dish box is in standby press select to continue crap. I went in and set the standby time to disabled and it flat out ignores it and stands by anyway...

    How to stop Dish Network DVR from turning itself off?

    I also have this problem but for a different reason. the inactivity setting is 100% USELESS the boxes (4 of them in 2 locations) FLAT OUT IGNORE this setting and go into standby anyway. My problem is the TIVO. if the tivo does not send a command to the box inside 3-4 hours it goes into standby...

    well there is no way the campground is using 250+ receivers. (thats how many sites have cable capacity) they are likely using one or a couple of receivers and shunting that "stream" into the analog spectrum over the cable. ie how are they doing that? clearly I could not do it through normal...

    Unknown Legally but MORALLY good hacking help requested

    I am annoyed comcast killed the analog spectrum and instead of switching to digital they switched to encrypted proprietary requires a box digital. No thanks. cancelled that service same day. anyway I want to go dish or direct tv (I do like dish channels better) what I want is to RETURN to my...
