Can you tell me more about the "pause" mode? Is this the $5/month state the CSR told me about today? She said I can do it for 3, 6, or 9 months but can resume service at any time. According to her, I would NOT have access to recorded content on the internal drive or EHD. But I've seen info...

Thank you! I'll see about deleting shows. I'll resort to Linux to move files to other EHDs if necessary.

I have A 2TB Seagate drive connected to my VIP 722k. I transferred several shows to the EHD. They disappeared from the 722 but they don't show up on the EHD. The available space on the EHD seems to have gone down and there are more than 400 gb still free. Are these shows lost forever? Is there...

Darn, we already watched and deleted Big Bang Theory. We remember a dropout but we can't remember when it happened. Most drops take out a whole word or phrase.

Amazing Race tonight just had a dropout while Phil was describing the Sushi Bingo detour - just as the clue was being handed over. I don't have a second receiver. I don't think it's a coax issue - the picture is not affected at all. Can't be HDMI because it's completely repeatable on skipping...

We had a dropout in this week's CSI:LV, Big Bang Theory, Two Broke Girls. It's hard to isolate. I'm pretty sure it affected other CBS primetime shows as well, this week and probably the last couple of weeks, too. There's no clicking or any indication of audio signal problems on the AV receiver...

We've been noticing brief, occasional audio dropouts - I think exclusively on WCBS (HD) on our recordings on our 722k. I assume they occur while watching live but that's something we almost never do. The 722k is connected via HDMI to an Onkyo TX-SR805 which is connected via HDMI to a Samsung...

I've wondered if it's technically possible with a fair amount of warranty-voiding procedures. One would have to connect the hard drive to a linux system for starters. Then if, one understood how the files were stored, something like ext3grep might be able to recover them. I have used...

So last night, I signed up for DPP with the intention of having my 110/119 + 61.5 upgraded to 1000.4 for $15. Then I made the request via chat - they were able to schedule me for Noon-5pm today - and the rep told me there would be no charge. D'oh! Actually, I take the D'oh! back...

I got the apology e-mail but never saw the original from the gmail account. Huh.

I don't even know what I'm getting in "Platinum." I get HD and Platinum for $10 (total), though. And with my 61.5 & 110/119, I don't seem to get any of the new HD channels, the earlier batch this year or this new batch.

How would I go about doing this? My front 500 on on the roof @ 110/119 and the installer left an extra LNB up there....I'm not sure what kind of shape it's in now. And my rear dish is pointing at 61.5 - I *think* it's a 500, but I guess it could be a 300. If it's a 500 and I can get my hands...

FAQ? I've made it through about half of this thread.... I'm in central NJ and get NY locals with the 200 Package and Cinemax-for-a-penny plus the three free months of HBO and Showtime and HD Platinum. I have a Dish 500 on the West corner of the house (the front of the house faces North West)...

I scheduled an DIU upgrade for Saturday earlier this week.... I was only offered the mail in rebate and I just tried calling to see if I could get an "instant" rebate instead. The guy in India didn't seem to understand what I was talking about (in many respects) and I got tired of holding...
