    Salvaging a hard drive out of a DVR

    What is it that you are so unhappy about? I just wanted to know if anyone has successfully got one of these drives unlocked from having the start up in standby set. I have been a member for sometime now, and haven't posted for a while, but never gotten a rather negative albeit nasty...

    Salvaging a hard drive out of a DVR

    I have already removed the drive so they are not pristine. For me it is just the challenge of accomplishing it. Now I am on a mission. Michael

    Salvaging a hard drive out of a DVR

    When I switched to the Hopper I had one 922 and two 722k's which I owned. I decided I could re-purpose their internal drives for my computers. The problem is that they are set to not spin up when power is first applied but rather wait for a command from the SATA controller to spin up. I...

    Firmware update schedule.

    Well that's the response I was hoping for, but it is what I expect from the Dish Engineers! Michael

    Well that sure isn't the answer I was hoping for, but it is what I expect from Dish engineering. Michael

    Firmware update schedule.

    Is there a website or post that shows current and soon to be released firmware updates for receivers. I thought in the past I found such a post on SatelliteGuys but I cannot find it now. Michael

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    I found and removed the sling plugin, but that didn't help. Then I uninstalled chrome and reinstalled, now it works. I see the sling plugin is gone so maybe that was the problem. Who knows. The good thing about this as I did Chat in to Dish to see if there was anything going on. The CSR...

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    If it doesn't ask me to install it how can I do it. It worked OK a couple weeks ago, is there a new add on recently to install? Otherwise I probably have it. Or can you install it manually. Michael

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    Mine doesn't ask for any update just stalls. It's funny it works on other browsers and Chrome in Win7. I wonder what is going on? Michael

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    ronjohn, ever been to the surf shop in Cocoa Beach Fl by your name? Where did you find DISH_Anywhere_Video_Player_Installer_2.12.1.exe Google didn't find it.

    Dish Anywhere won't load with Chrome and Win 8.1

    Today I went to run Dish anywhere on my HP laptop running win 8.1 and Chrome browser and it refused to load and chrome shows an error message "Dish Anywhere - showcase has become unresponsive". It gets to the main page with the picture of "Game of Thrones" and stalls. I tried another computer...

    Should I get a 922?

    ChadT41, I'm not sure I completely understand what you have said, however, I do know I have removed one station (National PBS which was grandfathered to me) and added and disconnected one receiver and I still have the superstations. But even if the addition of Hopper to my system could be done...

    Should I get a 922?

    Chadt141 Your point is well taken. Just for your information, adding a new piece of equipment doesn't generate a work order and therefore doesn't eliminate the superstations, I know this because I did add the 612 to my account for my first RV use this year and then removed it. In the past...

    Should I get a 922?

    Although I still have not decided to switch, but the worst that can happen is I would be out the money I paid for it as I could always switch back to the 722k. I have 2 of these and one of them has been replaced 5 times. It seemed to catch every 722k disease that came along. However...

    Should I get a 922?

    Actually I haven't made up my mind yet. I just wanted if people are using the 922 now and are still having problems with them or not. Even if they are mostly stable I might not get one, just doing research. I thank those of you who have given me your opinion as that is what I'm looking for...

    Should I get a 922?

    There may not be enough selection of 3D movies to make it worthwhile, but there are a few other functions of the 922 that may be nice, if they all worked mostly OK. But, I don't know if Dish has ironed out most of the problems, which is one of the purposes of this thread. As far as losing...

    Should I get a 922?

    My only problem with the 211K is the EHD does not use the same format as the VIP and Hopper receivers so I cannot take content transferred to the EHD on a 722K or Hopper and watch it with the 211K. So I'm back to it's the 922 only, if I want 3D! Maybe sometime in the future Dish will decide...

    Should I get a 922?

    I have a 3D TV, Dish occasionally does broadcast 3D movies, however, the only receivers which will show the 3D movies in 3D are either the Hopper or the 922. In my situation I cannot have a Hopper, because if I do then I cannot use my 612 in my RV and I will lose my super stations. So if I...

    Problems setting up a 61.5 wing dish

    My 612 just added the 4 satellite without having to clear the switch memory, I will be doing my 722k's in about 10 min hope they do the same. Michael

    Problems setting up a 61.5 wing dish

    Well good news! today I removed the legacy LNB and installed the DP LNB. Then I did a few cleanup items outside, went to my motorhome and got my 612. Then I went with it to my test bed. The 508 was still hooked up and on and low and behold it showed an connection to transponder 14 with a...

    Problems setting up a 61.5 wing dish

    I am on the list for free EA. When you switched did you have to clear the switch memory and do check switch on the receiver(s), then run without antenna connection and go through the 50 tests then connect up the new antenna with switch and run check switch again? Michael

    Problems setting up a 61.5 wing dish

    Thank you Krell and Garys, It does clear things up. My locals are on 61.5 in HD and that is what I want to add. The first 2 ports on my DP44 are taken up by 119, 110, 129 so I guess I will connect 61,5 to the #4 port, correct? Michael

    Problems setting up a 61.5 wing dish

    Garys, Now I'm confused! (which isn't new, getting old only just beats the alternative) So you are saying that some of the HD content now on my 129 is not mirrored on 61.5 but is on the other 2 EA satellites. Ok, so I can leave 129 active and still get my locals in HD from 61.5. The...

    Problems setting up a 61.5 wing dish

    Actually Dish will discontinue the Super stations if you generate any work orders on your account such as having an antenna installed, a service call, a change to your programming. Do any of those and it's bye bye Super stations. This change occurred last September, the 19th I think. Michael
