Is this only happening on HBO and Cinemax recordings or does this also happen while you are watching live HBO and Cinemax? Also you can check the signal strength off of the channels by pressing Menu 6-1-1, HBO 300 will be Satellite 119 Transponder 10 and Cinemax 310 will be Satellite 119...

Past two months I've noticed increased grain and mosquito artifacts on Cinemax and HBO recordings from my 625 DVR. This is most apparent on PAUSE where the pixel grain and artifacts are obvious. Earlier recordings, from last year and earlier, are clean. This is true for all connections...

We have a Dish 625 DVR in Single Mode . Up-to-date software Version: L540 . After the most recent software update ( L540 ) the Time Available on the DVR Menue screen drifts downward as I switch channels and switch ( Swap button ) between the two tuners . i.e. 4h 00m .... 3h 59m ... 3h 57m...

buckchow: Where did you get the July 6, 2009 image ? Was it from an older recording from your SD DVR ? I'm trying to find out if this change happened because of a software upgrade, and if it affects previously recorded SD content on the DVR . Are all of my previously recorded programs...

So, how long will it be before my 625 loses its dvr functionality ? Ideas ? I assume a licensing fee will be in the works, but this a permanent injunction . What sort of time frame are we talking about ? Days ? Weeks ? ... before an en banc review is considered or the dvr's are turned...

We own both our 625 and a 510 and I have noticed increased artifacts (mosquito effects) since about mid-October. This has been on Showtime and other specific cable channels owned by Universal and Time-Warner (not local). I don't know if this is due to a software change by Dish or downscaling...

Exactly right!!! But right now over $ 300.00 leaves this house a month to one satellite provider, local cable, and a bundled internet service provider; and I've never enjoyed content programming less . (Not for a good twenty-five years.) Typical example is G4: At one time, it had several...

Comment: People like transparency... This is true of businesses, governments, charitable organizations, sales people, etc. etc. Citizens do not like to feel as if someone is messing around behind the scenes "improving" a policy or product or software which may impact its future value or...

rdinkel has a legitimate complaint. We live in a rural area. A few times during the summer a severe thunderstorm or tornado watch / warning would be released by our local stations. Of course, simultaneously our satellite reception would be spotty or go out entirely due to the bad weather...

Well, it has been about a week and a half since the dvr on the 625 had an integrity check interrupted by a power outage ... And last night it failed completely. It began by emitting a knocking sound as if trying to reboot but then powered down. Finally the drive failed and deleted the...

Recording DVR events to vcr and dvd for permanent storage over this past year has also been something of an adventure. Both vcr's required repair and parts which were unavailable. I have two dvd recorders with internal hdd (also temporary storage devices); one of which is acting up (and may...

Reset the receiver multiple times, and the dvr does not run another integrity check. At this time, I don't really want to run more integrity checks since this might further damage those recordings which still survive. Right now, I simply want to save as many surviving recordings on the title...

Recently, our Dish 625 was interrupted during an Integrity Check by the electrical power dropping out during a thunderstorm. Usually the integrity check, when it happens, lasts about 5-10 minutes and isn't a problem. This time, however, the power went out for a second causing a reset/reboot of...
