It happened to my 722k a few weeks ago. I reported it to Dirt and got the impression there wasn't much they could do, but then suddenly one day I checked and everything I had downloaded from the past month was there.

I have a VIP 722K and recently my on demand downloads started deleting themselves overnight. When I download them the message says this will be in your my rentals for X number of days but they are always gone by the next day. I noticed it happening 2 weeks ago and have tried the normal reset...

I figured what to do and will answer my own question just in case someone runs into this problem. . Apparently the external hard drive group/sorting is controlled by the "My Recordings" groups sorting. I have seen that group button for years and never paid attention to it. So either when I...

I just received a replacement VIP 722K, and when I hooked up my external hard drive the sort type changed. It used to have folders for programs that had multiple shows recorded and now all the shows are listed individually by date. I can't figure out how to get the folder view back. I'm have to...

My VIP722K failed last Monday, I called Monday night and a replacement was ordered. I did receive a 722K on Thursday, a refurbished model and it was DOA. It would not start up and was doing the same thing my original unit was doing. I called in again and a tech was sent today, luckily he had...

They have helped me several times. They are a great asset to the board.

However, if these are movies and shows from premium channels like HBO, the DRM may kick in stopping the DVD recorder from recording the shows. At least with my recorder it will work with network shows but try to record a True Blood or movie and it shuts down after a few minutes saying the...

I did get in touch with Mary, it's her feeling that it's a problem with the particular programs I am trying to watch and she has sent in a report. I have found some episodes that do work and others that do not, so it's very hit and miss. The particular shows I have had issues with is...

I have tried to watch 3 different shows today off the dish on demand (I have a 722K). Each time everything appears like it's downloading but when I try to watch the show all I get is a black screen. I tried to watch while it was downloading, and also waiting for it to finish. I show having a...

Be careful If you are planning on recording the George Harrison 2 part documentary on HBO. My 722K treated part 2 as a duplicate of part 1. I had to manually restore it.

I was looking at the Dish website about the pay as you go program. What I am unclear about it the equipment requirement. It talks about needing a mobile HD receiver like the 211K. I don't have an HD TV in my RV, and I have hidden away the first receiver I bought when I first got Dish: a...

I have a D-link wireless bridge DAP-1522. I connect to my 722K then via an Ethernet cable. It has 4 connections so I also have my Blu-Ray player connected so I can stream You Tube, Hulu Plus ect. Works well for me, as I use my rear USB connection for the Sling Player and EHD connected via the...

Not that this garnered any interest, but I did download Hall Pass 1080p and it did seem to display correctly. I also found that for what I want it's not big difference between the 1080i and 1080p, I'm just happy that my TV was able to display the 1080p correctly. Not sure why True Grit didn't...

Similar 1080p VOD problem. I am resurrecting this thread as I have a similar situation and to be honest I never did understand what the final answer was except the OP apparently never got the 1080p to work and I guess canceled his contract. I decided to take advantage to the July .99 cent...

Having the everything pack I have become accustomed to waiting many months till the movies become available on HBO, showtime... ect. There are certainly times I would like to see a movie sooner, but I'm just not willing to pay $6.00-$7.00 just to have the convenience of not running up to the...
