    510 Hard drive still spinning...

    Now I wish I had posted my problem here regarding my hard drive. I did read here about the code but never gave it a thought because I was busy and figured if they send me another box I would be happy. Well, the new receiver works well but does look like it has been around awhile. There are some...

    510 Hard drive still spinning...

    Well, I think your correct in regards to the new drive being way behind downloading the VOD stuff, because this afternoon the drive finally stopped spinning and now the movies that downloaded are available for rent. I received P309 about a month ago and if you look at some of my other post...

    510 Hard drive still spinning...

    Well my 510 downloaded the new P309 firmware a month ago and worked great for about a week until the hard drive crashed. I got an RA# from Dish and a replacement 510 and downloaded P309 onto it. Now,I can hear the hard drive in the new unit spinning all of the time. It never shuts off. I don't...

    Can Am Satellites

    It is my understanding that there are two companies with the name "Can-Am Satellites. I'm not sure about the company mentioned above but I do know the "Can-Am Satellites" from B.C Canada is still in operation and has been for over 12 years with the same owners.

    I'm glad you received the update and posted your results because I was beginning to think that I was the only one that received P309. All still working great here with my 510.

    I agree!! When P308 was released it took my receiver 3 weeks to get the download. This time it was the next day for P309.

    Call from the Audit Department.... what's next?

    My 2 cents on this issue. The rules have changed in the past year or so. Weather or not it has been properly communicated to Dish customers this is now the case. Now, I don't really blame Dish on this one because I believe what prompted this change of policy is the DAM account stacker's. This...

    Hey Frank Jr., is your receiver set to download "without my permission" checked off. You may have it set to "ask before downloading". Just a thought! On another note... has anyone else received the new firmware update P309 or just me? If anyone else has received it let us know how your system is...

    Just an update! I ran all check switch tests and system info check/tests this morning again just to confirm the problem was indeed resolved and my 510 past all tests with no problems to report. P309 has corrected my error messages. I can finally rest in peace now!

    110 problems

    Hey Frank Jr, yes I got P309 some time yesterday afternoon. It included Dish on Demand and I believe a number of bug fixes. My 510 now passes the check switch test and system info check/test. I have ran these tests a number of times with good results. My 510 is back working like she did a month...

    New Movie "Feature"?

    My understanding with Dish on Demand is that your recording time will not be affected with this new upgrade. I know my 510 is still showing 54 hours left, and it was showing this before the new firmware P309 was downloaded today.

    Problem with a Check Switch!!Please Help

    Well, I came home tonight and found that my receiver had downloaded the latest firmware P309. I wanted to see if my check switch problem was fixed with this new update and it is. I have performed a number of check switch tests and also ran a few system info tests to verify the problem is...

    Problem with a Check Switch!!Please Help

    This may help explain the problem...this is a known problem with some receivers. The suspect cause is the firmware P308. My 510 is acting the same way. Click here to view the complaints>http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=65339

    110 problems

    Well, Dish Home works well for me here on my 510. I've never had a problem with that feature. I still have the original problem from thread start regarding the check switch/locking onto 110. I will try and post my info for tech support tomorow as I'm a little short on time today.

    110 problems

    Hey Frank Jr, yes I'm like you "bull headed" so I gave it a try again. Ran check switch without Sat feed connected, and then hooked the 510 back up and tried again. The problem is still showing up. I finally got the LNBF to show "All" but when in the system info screen it is showing an error on...

    Been there and done that...after running new coax and replacing all of the rg6 connectors and re-peeking the dish, swaping out the LNBF the problem still exists. Not a connection problem! As mentioned in other posts the suspect cause is P308 firmware. Thanks for your input toto. :-)

    110 problems

    Wow! A signal of 125 with picture freezing....just checked my locals and touch wood no problems with that. (yet) Before I upgraded to P308 my 510 worked like a champ. I'm hoping to hear from others on this issue as this is getting frustrating.

    110 problems

    Well I'm glad it worked for you Frank Jr but I tried this Sunday with no luck. The only way to get 110 back was to check switch a number of times until "All" was displayed. I backed out and left it as is. My 510 still takes forever to lock on 110 if at all. I hope Dish can fix this problem...

    Weak spotbeam signal for locals on E10?

    Jonblack, you have a pretty good signal compared to mine. My local channels are now giving me a signal strength of 68-70 range. This is down from the old readings before the switch of 100-120 range. I hope E* can correct this because now I'm worried about rain fade. It wasn't much of a problem...

    Star Choice

    No, your BEV 3100 will not work with a Star Choice dish. They use a totally different system to receive and authorize the signal (KU band) and it is not compatable with BEV receivers..

    Activating Dish in Canada

    Thanks for your input visiter555. After reading your post I got to thinking about what you said regarding the first four digits being an indicator it is a Canadian CC card. I must agree with your statement and didn't think about the first four digits giving away your location. I do know my...

    Activating Dish in Canada

    I've heard that as well regarding Canadian CC's but I can't confirm this. I know mine works. I'm not sure if rejecting Canadian CC's would be a deterrent to Canucks wanting to subscribe, because I can go out tomorrow and apply for a U.S. CC at any Canadian financial instution.

    510 and DOD service NBR feature

    I tought there was a mention in the March Charlie chat regarding NBR but I could be mistaken. In any event I would like to see both DOD and NBR added to the 510. Sounds pretty cool...my fingers are crossed.
