    EHD disappears on hopper

    I have two WD EHDs attached to the Hopper in the living room. External Device 1 is 750 Gb and External Device 2 is 1 Tb. The ED2 disappears frequently and power cycling it usually fixes the problem. It is just annoying and I hope Dish will fix the problem with a software upgrade. I used both...

    Hopper EHD / upgrade

    Just upgraded from a 722 system with 1.75 Tb of EHD stored programming and the Hopper not only reads the data as is but let's me hook up both EHDs concurrently. My installer was anxious to remove my DPP44 switch from the system since my 2H/4J system does not need it. I already had a 1000.4...

    Hopper & Joey questions?

    Thanks to all for the quick replies for the EHD question. Looking forward to making the change as soon as it becomes available. Looks like I can remove my DP44 switch and replace with the Duo Node for the Hopper(s) and the Joeys. Does the Node require a power inserter like the DP44? Also...

    When should we expect updates to the Revue from Google I/O? Will these updates solve any of the network viewing issues? Are these updates expected to address the Adobe Flash Player issues? Just got the Revue and it was easy to setup but the lack of network viewing capability is the biggest...

    622->722k, should I take the deal Dish offered?

    Just replaced my 622 with a 722K last week. The 622 was one of the first ones out and I never had any problems with it but decided to upgrade for the additional HD capacity and the dual OTA tuners. I have always had a PC laptop cooler fan assembly under the 622 and transferred it to the 722K...

    It looks like I need to call back for a different CSR and try and negotiate for a new 722K. It also looks like the EHD compatibilty is NOT an issue. Thanks for everyone's help.

    EHD Compatibility - 622 to 722K

    If I replace my 622 with a 722K, will the 900 Mb of EHD recordings I have on my WD hardrive be able to be viewed with the 722K? A live chat and a telecon with a CSR say no, it will have to be reformatted. I thought I had seen in a previous thread that Dish could ping the new receiver to get it...

    DISH DVR

    I also have a new 211K receiver and I purchased a new 500 gb ext HD to use with it. I paid the $40 one time fee a few years ago for my 622K which I still use and now Dish wants another $40 to activate my 211K's HD. Ia this right? I thought a one time fee was a one time fee.
