Can you only MOVE movies and shows from the DVR's hard drive to the USB drive? Can they be COPIED, not MOVED, from the DVR to the USB drive? The USB drive can't be used as a true archive if you can only move stuff to it. I had a 622 that crapped out and I lost everything on the DVR's hard drive...

Hi. I am getting a VIP622 installed this Saturday. Does this receiver come with a HDMI cable in the box? My 625 receiver came with coax, RCA, and s-video cables in the box. I just wanted to know if I need to go out tomorrow and pick one up before the installer gets here on Saturday. Thanks.

Hello. I currently have a 625. I bought a new HD TV and now want to upgrade my 625 to a VIP622. Would they just swap out the receiver? Do I need a new LNB or dish installed. Thanks.

If I have to purchase a new remote via eBay would it make more sense to purchase a green or blue remote? I know you can setup two blue remotes to work with Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. If I throw away the defective green remote, purchase a new blue remote, and configure it for Tuner 1, here is my...

All buttons on the remote are dead. When I hit TV, SAT, etc. nothing lights up at all. It is acting like it doesn't have any batteries in it.

Hi everyone. In June I upgraded to a Dish 625. While using the Dish Green #1 remote today it suddenly stopped working. Completely dead. I replaced the batteries and nothing. I took out the batteries, let it sit for a few hours, and put new batteries back in. It is still dead. So what is the Dish...

I have had a 510 for about 2 years. The SAT button at the top of the remote is no longer working. Since I am leasing the 510 from Dish Network should they replace the remote for free? Thanks.

Hey everyone. I have been a customer for 4.5 years. I originally had two 301 receivers and about 2 years ago I upgraded one of the 301s to a 510. Now I am interested in trading the 301 and 510 in for a 625. I have a couple of questions. The web site says that for $49 I can trade-in my 301 and...

I think one of the concerns is that the faster 7200 RPM hard drives run hotter than the 5400 RPM drives they ship in the units. The 7200 RPM drives will more than likely make the unit perform better, just like in a computer, but the unit may not be able to cool itself properly and overheat. Just...

I have a 510 and it seems like I have been waiting forever for NBR. I could have used it last night. We had a weekly timer setup for the Amazing Race. Last night was the finale and it was 2 hours instead of the the typical 1 hour show. We were watching it live and after the 1st hour the...

Hi. I currently lease a 510 and a 301. I would like to upgrade to a 625 setup. I see that dish will upgrade me to a 522 for $100. Will dish give me credit for the two previously leased 510 and 301 receivers I have? I will need some wholes drilled and lines run, is that covered with the free...

Hi everyone. Here is my situation. I lease a 510 and a 301. The 510 is in the family room inside a cabinet where I can not see it. No problem since the 510 remote is UHF. The 301 is upstairs in the bedroom on the dresser next two the TV. The 301 remote is IR. I would really like to upgrade to a...

When is the 510 scheduled to get NBR capability? I thought it was supposed happen by now.

Why doesn't dish network come out with a learning remote control? Having one of them would prevent problems like this from ever happening.

I have had the 510 since last September and have never had a single problem with it. Never had any audio dropouts, no video problems, nothing. We record stuff every day and it always works perfectly. The only drawback is that it has a single tuner only. Name Based Recording is coming to this...
