The box says error 0565 but the code in the upper right that I didn't take note of previously is Error 311. The tech portal just says fatal failure. Sounds like my assessment of not good is pretty accurate.

When I turned on my 625 tuner (about 18 months old) this morning it told me a serious Hard Disk problem had been detected, Error Code 0565. I am assuming that the Hard disk failed and I am the winner of the opportunity to get a new tuner. My questions are: 1) Is my assumption correct the hard...

I have a 622 HD receiver and am looking at the usb port on it with a couple questions: 1) Can I simply plug an external USB hard drive into the port and move content onto it from the DVR? 1a) Do I have to do anything to have that USB port activated, is there a fee involved? 2) Could I use this...

I have a HD DVR (622) that was installed about 6 weeks ago. There is only one tv attached over an HDMI and a DVD recorder attached over a composite cable (from the TV1). The 622 is attached to a working phone line (the diagnostics say it is ok). There is nothing attached to the TV2 outs. Our...

6->1->1 shows 110 and 119 but does not show 61.5. Check switch says everything is ok. 61.5 however is not listed and I assume thus not checked.

There is no box that looks like a power brick, or anything other equipment inside. The small box that makes the one line into the 2 that enter the receiver is clearly labeled a separator (if that helps)

After a bit of reading I have concluded that because I am on the east coast I have nothing to do with sat 129 but instead use 61.5. After using the Dish Network Satelite Chart from the sticky, it is apparent that my receiver is not using the signal from my second dish pointed at 61.5 (I am...

I have had dish network High Def service for about a month now, I am using the 622 DVR receiver. Yesterday (Sunday 12/23) we got a new entertainment center. I unplugged everything (the power frist and waited before moving it) took it out of the center, put the new one together and set everything...
