hi The R5000HD was available many years ago. Is it still the best way to record shows to PC? Any other better options available? Thanks.

Is there a way to convert *.dpd files to mpg format?

I am wondering whether there are any quality differences between playing recorded shows from the DVR and watching live TV. In TIVO recorders, you can set the recording quality. why is this feature not available to dish receivers?

Anyone knows what is in the left hand side of the receiver? It is hot even when it is idle. Will it cause problem in the long run? Are there anyways to cool it down?

Okay, I have been wondering about the quality of the video stored in the dish DVR for along time. The VIP622 DVR has a 320GB hard drive and can record 200 hours of SD video. That means the average file size is only 1.6GB/hour, or roughly ~4Mbit/sec. This seems very low quality to me since...

hi, I just got a new VIP722 receiver, but I don't know how to setup the remote control to control the receiver. The instructions in the manual is not very clear. I am running in single mode and not using the UHF attenuator. Can any give me step-by-step instructions? Thanks!

(Sorry, double post, please delete this post. Thanks!!)

I was going to buy a 622 receiver from Dish Depot, but something stopped me. I used to see "Always New, Never Remanufactured " in the 622 description, but now they are gone. Does this mean the 622 they are selling now can be either NEW or REFURBISHED, and there is no way to guarantee that I...

Is it true that now you can add HD programming to any package for an additional $20 per month? I remember that a while ago, they require you to have a qualifying package like "America Top 100" to get HD. Now, I don't see any "qualifying" wording on the page, so does this mean u can add HD to...

Something is not right with my VIP622 and this only started to happen recently. If I watch tv or playback recorded videos for a more than 5-6 hours, the picture will become discolored (ie, gradually lose color) over time and will eventually become nearly black and white. I need to turn off the...

Is the external storage activation really a one time fee? My worry is that if I active the external storage on 08/15, and then get a new VIP622 sometime in October. Do I need to pay additional fee to activate the new receiver?

What is a good signal strength? My signal is between 70 and 80. I think these numbers are a little to low. Should I ask a dish tech to take a look?

Have anyone here mod their dish DVR VIP622 with R-5000? I am thinking of doing so but not sure how this works especially when external storage will come to 622 soon on 08/15. The R-5000 uses USB to archive files, right? If that's the case, will it have conflict with Dishnetwork's upcoming...

I am thinking of buying my own VIP622 but how do I set it up? Can I install it by myself? I already have 4 satellite cables coming down from the roof, only two of them are being used right now so I guess I have everything I needed. All I need to do is connect the cables to the receiver and...

hi everyone, If I cancel and signup again with different person in the household, will Dish accept me as a new customer? I have been a DishNetwork customer for more than 3 years and I don't have any contract liabilities as of now. The main reason I want to sign up as new is to get all...
