    Update software for 2012 Chevy Volt SiriusXM system?

    Thanks for replying. Actually, that specific instruction got me to the realization that my Volt does not have a channel zero on the SiriusXM in it.

    Update software for 2012 Chevy Volt SiriusXM system?

    I have SiriusXM in my 2012 Chevy Volt, and in my 2018 Honda. I have the same subscription level for both vehicles, but I am not getting the same channels in both. I contacted SiriusXM and they told me to update the software, and gave me the instructions on doing it, which were a bit bizarre...

    caavo control center

    Ended up getting one of these thru Amazon, full package with lifetime subscription. Actually really like it, shifts between the various sources, minimizes the search for the correct remote in the dark. I have DISH, Roku and Apple TV hooked up to it. Has a simplified keypad, which can also be...

    Those were the days...

    Got my first DISH setup in 1997. No retailers, no online, of course. Lived in southern CA at the time, only retailer was a store that specialized in baseball cards and pre-paid telephone calling cards (no cell phones either!). Went to the store, guy pulled up a large box with the receiver...

    How long does it take for the EHD to "Spin Up?"

    Thanks to all for the helpful replies. Did get it to come alive, but with mixed results. Some shows never would load, others were fine. No correlation with when they were recorded, or on which prior machine. Some had been done on a 622, some a 722, 722K. Definitely could not get any of the...

    How long does it take for the EHD to "Spin Up?"

    Called DISH to have the EHD function activated for my HWS, was told "oh, just go ahead and connect the EHD to the receiver, it should show up and be fine." So, did connect an older WD unit, turned on the TV and saw a pop up from DISH notifying me that an external hard drive had been connected...

    Can I transfer "old" EHD recordings to an H3?

    Great, and thanks to all. I have the same account I have had with DISH since 1994, so that should be good. I just got a bit antsy when I read on their site about the USB 2.0 being a requirement for EHD's to their new boxes. Knew I could count on The Board:bday

    Can I transfer "old" EHD recordings to an H3?

    Back in the day of the 722, used to archive favorite shows on EHD, ended up with three EHD's worth. Presently I have HWS, and am thinking of upgrading to H3. Never had accessed the EHDs on the HWS, now I wonder if they are "toast," given the requirements for USB 2.0 cables, etc, per the DISH...

    Universal Sports Network--any successors?

    Thanks for the info. Regrettably, even with "America's Everything Pack," I don't seem to get Universal HD. Are you a DISH subscriber? If so, which package do you get it on? Thanks.
