    922 loud fan and black screen

    I woke up this morning to the fan screaming and a dead receiver. I pulled the plug and it rebooted fine. Ran for about 10 minutes and then died again. I rinsed and repeated several times with the same outcome. Anyone find why the 922's are doing this. I have a 94% full HD of recordings I...

    922 breaking recordings up

    Yes it has reboot right in the middle of live tv with me watching it. Seems to occur every 6 minutes approx. I have another DVR Receiver in the living room (612) which has no problems. No power losses (great weather here) and no other external issues. From what I can tell it has something...

    922 breaking recordings up

    It says fail umount count 102??? High temp 129 Low temp 107 Avg temp 113 Then it has a section called Fsck which has the date and time of when it keeps rebooting. Would this be a program like Chkdsk (check disk) in windows xp that might keep hanging?? The unit is sitting on top a...

    922 breaking recordings up

    Well I found that the recordings are breaking up because the receiver continually reboots itself every 6-10 minutes..... Have no idea how to make it stop. Does anyone know any factory codes or info on how to get into the software to see if something is messed up. Kind of like when...

    922 breaking recordings up

    Strange thing started in the last few days. When recording shows the 922 will break them up into seperate sections. Example: a 1 hr show may show as having 6 different recordings due to the 922 showing seperate 10 minute recordings etc...... seems most of the time its a 5 or 6 minute...

    Losing Sound on 922

    Found a way to get it back. Just keep hitting the skip back button until you reach a part of the recording where the sound comes back. Then you can skip forward and it works. Strange but seems to be a issue once in awhile with the skip ahead. At least I dont have to reset everytime anymore.

    Losing Sound on 922

    When fast forwarding or just watching shows does anyone else lose the sound????? Sometimes it can be fixed by turning it off and on, other times it takes a reset to fix it. Just started happening not to long ago...........bad update maybe?? Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

    Pulling shows off 922

    I am very intrigued. I use a PC so im not sure this will work as it talks mostly about Macs. Although this one: Overview EyeTV One seems to do both. Do you hook up a cable wire to the 922 out then into the eye tv and then to the computer??? This would be a bit of a problem as my...

    Pulling shows off 922

    When I had my TIVO I was able to utilize the desktop software to pull shows onto the computer to save or put onto the laptop for times when there was not internet connectivity. Tivo also had the ability to pull recordings from one tivo unit to another. I currently have a 922 in the bedroom...

    Moblie Sling Player or DISH App

    I believe they simply credit your bill after you link your first IPOD or IPHONE device by streaming your first stream. DustoMan, I tried what you said and THANKS ALOT was a big help. Still not the smoothest interface with some of the onscreen controls. Only issue I have now is if I go to my...

    Moblie Sling Player or DISH App

    Thats what I dont understand. The Sling Mobile is 30$ that they give back to you after you purchase it. So in theory both are free. The Dish App is much easier to use and navigate. So I am stumped why they are doing this.

    Moblie Sling Player or DISH App

    Some observations about the mobile sling player app for the Iphone and Ipod touch. The mobile player is NOT intuitive or easy to use. The menus and movement around the dvr and live tv from the app is very confusing and a pain for me. I downloaded the DISH app. and find it very easy to use...

    Connecting RG6 to surge protector

    Ok great to hear its grounded already. I have switched gears and purchased a br1000g APC UPS based on info that it provides coverage for power fluctuations and brown outs. Also states it has Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) which seems appealing to help protect everything. Power-saving...
