    how to change which tv shares DVR, or a device to split signal?

    DVR 625 drive corrupted, must delete everything? HELP!

    I turned on my TV this morning to find error number 760, stating that the hard drive was corrupted and that I must delete everything in order for the receiver to function properly. Is there any way around this?? I tried unplugging/plugging it back to no avail. There are no other options...

    Transfer from 625 to another DVR

    I wish to save some of the movies/shows on my dish DVR 625. I am about to purchase a DVD recorder that happens to have its own hard drive. Is there a way to transfer the files between the DVRs? I thought if I transferred from one hard drive to the other, that would let me have editing...

    need DVD recorder for DVR625

    Wyr, I also bought the Daewoo but when I try to burn a DVD, the sound is out of sync with the video. I am taking it back and praying that a new brand will be better and more reliable. I do not have time to make coasters! I was also disappointed with the menu options on the Daewoo. But...

    need DVD recorder for DVR625

    As far as I know, I can only watch Tuner 1 upstairs and Tuner 2 downstairs. What I could do is put the DVD rec downstairs, and then it won't affect what I watch upstairs. ??

    need DVD recorder for DVR625

    thanks, everyone, for all the replies. I will probably try a few before I find the right one. When I connect the DVDrecorder to the DVR, do I simply connect them via the S video cable, and that's it?

    Thanks, everyone. I found that Phonex is sold by Dish Network, and I happened to find a company selling them (new) for $26! If I receive it and it works, I'll post the info on where to get it (if anyone is interested).

    Hi, I need to get a wireless phone jack, and even though the RCA is supposedly compatible with dish network, a lot of people say it isn't. Does anyone know what brands *do* work? Thanks!

    We just had dish network installed, and I wish to purchase a DVD recorder to hook up to the dish network DVR (which is the 625 model). Are there any certain features that I should look for in a recorder? Or are there any that are incompatible with the dish DVR? I noticed there are a...

    Programming remote to control TV

    We had dish network installed a few days ago, and they programmed most of the remotes to work our TVs as well. However, in our family room, the TV is one of those combo units (DVD, VCR, and TV). They couldn't program it, they said. I went through all the codes in the book, but none...

    New customer worried about DVR reliability

    Thank you everyone - your posts were objective and informative, and I feel better about going with dish network and their equipment. Do most of you sign contracts with dish network, or just do it month to month? I know there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Thanks again.

    Hello everyone, We have had cable for 2 years, but after canceling our cable internet, the cable TV as a stand alone seems too expensive, not to mention there is no DVR service. So I called dish network and set up installation for next week. Today I was researching, trying to find out...
