navy, i haven't opened the box yet. i was hoping someone could tell me if there is a seal on box, an intrusion switch on the box before i opened it and looked. sounds like you know...do they put tamper seals on the connectors of the drive?

i have an EHD. i was thinking i could swap old HDD into the New machine, then boot it up in new machine, and transfer all recordings to my Ehd. then swap HDDs back, and ship the bad one back, with its original HDD.

i know this is desperation type of thinking... 922 just died. tries to boot, but can't boot. keeps resetting. this was my 2nd 922, and i've only had it a couple months. i can't get to my recordings, since it won't boot. i've tried disconnecting everything and it will come up just long...

service tech came out and replaced everything but the box, and still had same symptoms. so, i got me a new 722, and everything is working fine. old 622 went bad. the strange thing is how the factory reset gave it completely different failures and sympoms.

i refuse to pay for someone to service a their box. for the cost of paying someone to come out, I can just quit and switch to Direct, Cable, or ATT.

i have the dish 1000 with the quad LnBs. not sure of the right terminology. i assume this is all the right setup, i haven't touched it since Dish installed it a year ago. been working fine until this week.

Well that didn't work. NO change in the situation. it appears i have bad hardware. One other thing i tried: i disconnected the DP Separator that goes into Sat 1 and Sat 2 inputs. connected single line directly to Sat 2, ran Check Switch, and the SAt 2 showed Good. (all runs today with spliter...

Did the factory Reset. It worked BUT....check switch shows 'reduced satellites' first time. saved those settings just to see if i could view, and YES, tv works. added local channels and they do not have program guide info, but they do work. External HDD does not recognize either. ran check...

one more tidbit. when i change to OTA channels, it does the same error flicker, only with different eror message 738 (lost off air signal.) i'm pretty sure this box is hosed. i just need to figure out a way to get Dish to send me a new one without costing me money.

just tried that with Dish Service...hit menu button during Sat acquisition. Check Switch went fine, all signals good. did a Program Guide Download, and then back to the same locked up Error loop. Here's the kicker: they wanted me to pay for someone to come out and take a look at it($50)...

OK, i think i have a similar error to everyone else L511 software error...but mine seems worse. i have software L512. don't know when it came thru. Last nite around 10:00 pm, it started flashing the 002 error (lost signal) back and forth about 3 times per second. In between Error flashes, i...

Yes, i did this in my house. beware, the splitter can degrade the picture quality. I have TV2 active to my bedroom and to my office. never need it in both at once.

carter, i tried what you are suggesting, and i could not get the reciever to see any of the OTA channels. Too many splitters, too much signal loss. i put a radio shack booster inline with the OTA input, and it worked. personally didn't like using that, so i just ran a separate cable from...

Before i unbox my SEageat Freeagent 250, and hook it up to my 622, any other Seagate owners out there that can advise me on possible bugs, or tricks i may need to know? i've read thru the threads, and it looks like I'm OK, but i'm afraid i missed something in 30 pages of searches. Will I be...

don't believe the website, it means nothing. i have called 6 times now. last called in November, and the guy said they knew nothing about my rebate, but he was going to add it to my account. I wait 2 billing cycles, still not there, so i call again. they tell me it will be on my next bill...
