As Sub mentioned you can do real-time transfers. Hook up some RCA jacks to a digital camcorder, hit play on your receiver and record on your camcorder, direct transfer after "watching" onto your computers hard drive. It's a round about way but if it matters that much to you, by all means.

Thanks. I'm glad that you have the right idea. While obvious restrictions apply it just costs more to broadcast. Much more. This isn't exactly a terrific time in history to increase pricing by a substantial amount nor is it a good time for Dish to go into debt. While the PR buzz would be...

Probably the best idea. If you don't have to run it through the system for DVR reasons, then don't. It's best to have as little interruption between signal and picture. Also, in regards to the person who said it's illegal for dish to charge for the equipment, you're incorrect sir. What...

To be completely honest, I'm not sure if you got a message that would've prompted deletion of all of the dvr recordings or not. What you do have is the 024 message that states data not available which is tied closely to your EPG. In regards to trying a quick fix or work around, really the only...

A pattern of that will get your account locked and good luck getting that off. Also, you don't have to call once, they use it. You can be on the phone with a TSR/CSR and add it WHILE ON THE PHONE with that person after t/s'ing and add the DHPP to the account. The tsr's are trained to offer it...

As stated, only ViP DVR's are compatible with EHD's. 625's are not. Upgrade? ;]

1) HD does cost more. 2) The 10$ fee that is being dropped would be added onto all customers bills in the form of a 10+$ increase next year that would have all of you whining about the price. 3) It serves no purpose as Dish literally doesn't makes squat compared to other companies profit...

The answer to that would be, No. The guide/menus etc; run off a different data table for the information that they display however they will load without having sat signal at all. As will your menu etc;:angel:

The 50x series will still work, definitely. It's a matter of updating software at this point and 2 years shouldn't be an issue, be patient when you're starting it up for the first time though. You've been without dish service for 2+ years so should have no issue getting the new promotional...

Dish does allow this, usually it will involve a service call to check LOS. If OP has all MPEG 4 equipment, he/she'll be set. If not, it may take some effort in order to get the EA installed. A lot of areas that aren't trained in EA will hesitate to do a 1k.4 install though beware of this. I...

Indeed. Every 200 feet with a DPP set up ought to have an inline amplifier. Not 250 as the OP had stated. I thought for a moment this was going to be a problem with an sw-42 switch having differing cable lengths causing false signal loss. Hmm, sometimes I jump to conclusions.

Soon the 721 will no longer be supported by dishnet, tech support, etc; it will also no longer function correctly in the future, will get very few chans etc; it's best to just let it die. people always make me laugh in these regards. wanting to get blood out of a turnip.

As has been stated. The "fix" isn't a fix for 99% of all EHD's. It's being worked on from what I've been told.

It tries to call out at least once per month and there's no way for you to know when as it's obviously not information that is given out. After you hook up the phone line, go to menu 6-1-4 and check phone settings. make sure if you have a prefix (*99 with vonage etc;) to dial out that you put...

You can continue to be arrogant or you can read what I wrote again. The "fix" that is being pushed through right now is not a fix at all. As it states in the literature, do not keep sleep mode active if you want it to run seamlessly. The "fix" is still beta and has been having some serious...
