Thanks, I guess I'll use the 3TB on my PC. I sounds as though USB 3.0 is not an issue. Is that true? I ask because I was looking at a 2TB WD My Book w/ USB 3.0. Mahalo.

I have two 2TB WD My Book ehd's that work great, but my new 3TB WD My Book w/ USB 3.0 will not format. Has any found a work-around for this?

My 722k did the black screen plague thing last night. This happened the same way with a 722 last year and was solved by a software update. Screen is black and audio out, but guide, banner and dvr menu all visible. Same issue on both tuners and recorded programs. Clearly a display-only issue...

Got my 4th replacement 722 in 2 months delivered by UPS yesterday. I asked the guy if he was getting a lot of returns to Dish and he said it's amazing how many. He said that a lot of folks are switching to Direct. Some folks complained about Dish's recent fee increase or equipment breakdowns...

I will soon be receiving my 4th remanufactured replacement vip722 over a two-month period. After two years or so my original unit had the hard drive burn out and I lost nearly the full contents of the DVR. The 1st replacement unit randomly switched channels on its own. Three different...

New Glitches Well, now we seem to have a new mapdown problem similar to what the the second poster, g182237 was experiencing a while back. NFL, AMC, SCI, NTGEO, COOK mapdowns sometimes work, sometimes don't. When they don't work, the native channel number does. Example: A program is...

I use all the guides, including the four favorites (short list w/ no ppv or channels I never watch, movie channels, etc.), so switching the colors around really threw me for a loop. I'll get used to it but I sure can't see what the benefit could be. :confused:

Received this response from the executive communications team: Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on channel additions for our customers in Hawaii. I have entered these channels into our programming request system, which is used for planning purposes. While, the...

I have several WD My Book Essentials and my fave is the 2TB. More programming on one drive means less switching between them since you can only connect one at a time. Multi-EHD hub support please.

Sent the info to ceo@echostar.com and also asked via chat to have it forwarded to engineering. I think parts of Alaska are in a similar situation (some areas can pull in 129 conus transponders w/ a six foot dish or so). In Hawaii we can't even pull in 129 conus with a mondo dish. Ironic that...

Hawaii is missing 16 of the HD Premiums that are available in other areas: SK&FM, STZC, STZE, SCINE, SHOTO, SHOCS, SHOWB, TMC-X, SUNDAE, HBOCY, HBOZ, HBOFM, HBOSG, HBO2, 5-MAX, ACMAX They could all fit on the two remaining open tp's that are pointed our direction: tp 23 @ 110 e*10 spot 47 and...

I'm sure hoping that a bunch of premiums will replace those duplicates. Also, since the Hawaii HD locals moved from 110 to 129, there's room for 8 HD premium channels on tp23 at the e*10 spot 47.

It got much worse this morning. The black screen didn't clear on re-boot and the menu, guide etc. were all black as well. The only thing that showed up was the finding satellite screen after the re-boot and the screensaver when unit is off. Several reboots including unplugging the unit once...

"Online programming not available". I guess because I'm in Hawaii?

I missed that thread somehow. Great news about 2TB EHD support. Mahalo to Pepper for the hub tip. I would only want one EHD powered up at a time anyway, but it's good to know that a USB hub doesn't trip up the receiver.
