    Just some fyi. If you're needing to replace your the hard drive in your 722k, it doesn't have to be the exact one that came with it. I found a new seagate ST3500312CS on ebay for $20. Get em while they're hot!! Seagate Pipeline HD 500GB 5900RPM 8MB Cache SATA2 3.5" Hard Drive -ST3500312CS...

    I just replaced a hitachi drive in a 722k with a seagate drive ST3500312CS. I think this may be on the compatibility list for 612's also. If so, here is the ebay link where I got mine for $20. Seagate Pipeline HD 500GB 5900RPM 8MB Cache SATA2 3.5" Hard Drive -ST3500312CS 763649021682 | eBay

    DVD recorder unable to record from 722k

    Do you mind telling us what show you are trying to record? I have a pioneer 531 dvd recorder hooked up via the rca plugs.

    Dish network called me a thief and cant live in a 2 floor house!

    I believe what Directv will do is send someone to your house to physically verify the receivers are there.

    House has 2 rcvrs; can I use one in an rv?

    Two things.... 1. Depending on how far away the mountains are, you may not be able to get the networks. (ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX..etc.) These are spot-beamed, so if you get out the area, you wouldn't be able to pick them up. 2. While at home, I would hook the receiver up somewhere in the house...

    Channel changes without warning

    If you press the "info" button when you see the little clock flashing, you will get the option to cancel the recording before the channel changes.

    How often does DN call to verify?

    I've been checked once, over a year ago. I've been a customer with dish since 1999. Probably whoever checked you the first time didn't enter it into the computer that you had passed.

    What is the best way to hook my internet connection up to my VIP722 HD DVR receiver??

    Actually, you only need ONE netgear xe102, plugged in and attached to your router. The 722 is homeplug compatible.

    Dish just shut down my 942 without notice !

    dish sent me a replacement for my 721 I don't understand why they wouldn't send you one and let you hook it up. They sent me a leased receiver, and were going to give me $10 for my 721 ( which i just took the hard drive out and threw the rest away)

    hooking up the phone line.

    Closer...but still not quite. Dish will want the location id number found on the system info page, not the R00 & S00 numbers. Dish can send a command and change the location id number anytime.

    721 replacement program?

    ...And I personally like the 522 better. Seems like a good receiver.

    Why is Dish shutting down the 721?

    Has anyone made the swap yet? Did Dish send you the 522, or did an installer come out to hook it up? Also, what happened with the old 721?

    dp34 switch location

    Is it better to have the dp34 switch nearer to the dish or to the receivers? Or does it really matter?
