I have an H3 with 518. I have 3 powered EHDs connected. I have intermittent problems in getting the EHDs recognized. EHD 1 always gets recognized. EHDs 2 and 3 sometimes are recognized but all programs are not available to be seen . Other times, especially after the early morning update, everything is recognixed and available. All the time to see the 1st program I want to play on an EHD I get an error message that comes and goes faster than I can read it. I go back to the H3 and change the current channel which always brings up the message 514 saying the program is paused. I answer yes and go back to the EHD and the program I want plays. From then on any program I want is played. Crazy software is the answer.
Dish is in competition for viewers. Bad SW is a deterrent to sales. I have friends who refuse to go to Dish because I have told them of my SW problems. These friends want larger Hard Drives to store their likes. However, they want it to be reliable , also.
