Just a final update to my problem- After a Tech visit that left me in worse shape than I was before ( not a real biggie, but he wiped out all my settings, left the second tv not receiving anything and walked out scratching his head) and the smart card problems not being resolved but now...

THATS'S THE PROBLEM! I left my clothes on! Thanks!!! Finally my wife will get a laugh too.(Disclaimer- no animals were harmed in fixing this issue)

The 005 code is a smart card not authorized to view or record. Set up only one timer, I will try the other tuner. If I understand you correctly, the third tuner would be for OTA and I receive all channels from the satellite, so only the two tuners would come into play. Please correct me if I'm...

Set up the manual timer and no joy! Problem NOT solved, and not the end! One good day and back to the same old problem. Erroe code 005. Lost almost the whole program today. Only recorded the first 15 min then cut off. Next suggestion please.

Have the 722 and VOIP with Vonage. No problems with the caller ID.

OK so enough with the grounding already. This thread is supposed to address the problem of the 722 screwing up the recording of GMA. Which by the way still hasn't been resolved. I've now gone through 3 722 receivers, two sets of LNB's, two alignments to my dish and seemingly countless calls and...

Oh there's still a good exterior ground to the dish and is also grounded to the cold water line. The only ground at issue is on the power plug to the 722.

Well, tech came out and replaced both LNB, another new 722 (third one in 5 months) realigned dish, and removed the ground pin from the 722 ac plug. Apparently stray voltages through ground screw these things up. So far so good, will keep you posted.

So on and on it goes, where it stops nobody knows! Keep having the GMA issue and tech support suggested using a different channel- usually watch on ch 7 so try it on 9125. Nope, no difference. So Sunday we get a visit trom a field tech. Will keep you posted!

I too have problems with recording GMA. The DVR starts to record it, but sometimes ( very randomly) when I turn on the set,and press select to get off the opening black screen, I get an error code that my smart card is not authorized for this and to wait or press channel up or down. When I do...
