Sorry to hear this, but now I know I'm not alone! (I seem to only get problems about which no one else has ever heard/seen LOL) This exact same problem happened on my secondary 722 (not K) last weekend. I spent 30+ minutes doing my own trouble-shooting like you did, then called Dish. First...

This happened when I got my 722k (single mode attached to just 1 tv), and no matter how often I changed my remote address, it kept happening. I had that K swapped out twice more and all connections checked by two separate Dish techs (not subcontractors). I finally got a sympathetic Loyalty rep...

I had to replace my receiver that was affected by this stretch for an unrelated issue. When it went through setup, it skipped straight to L671. Don't want to jinx myself, but this 722 is working much better. I think that having it skip straight over L670 made all the difference. I worked...

still stretching SD on one tuner I finally got the beginnings of an answer from a loyalty rep--this stretching is only on the TV2 tuner, but since I'm using Single mode, I couldn't tell which tuner I was watching. No stretching if I tune to an SD station when I swap tuners. The hard reboot...

SD stretch and weird rebooting - all due to L670?? I'm getting stretch on every SD channel I've checked, and it's also stretching SD stuff I recorded before the L670 update. My L670 update happened 12 to 24 hours ago (wasn't there this time yesterday, but was there after a midday "spontaneous"...

still having problems... I got a new EHD (and new power supply) and was finally able to successfully get Ubuntu running. After more than a bit of trial and error with permissions on the EHD, I was able to start copying some files to test out moving them to this new EHD that had up until today...

All of my EHDs are WD that many here recommend: three of the 1.5TB newer WD Essential drives and two older 1 TB MyBook--the kind that Essentials replaced late last year. So far the newest two of the 1.5TB WD Essentials are the ones that have "gone bad." Not a dumb question -- first thing I...

The two EHD's in question *first* caused reboots on my secondary DVR, and they unfortunately both cause my primary DVR to reboot too...and I use primary/secondary as the same identifiers that Dish uses on my account.

help? same DVR has corrupted *another* EHD So before I could even try to follow DavidLevin's helpful advice, the same secondary DVR has corrupted yet another EHD :( I ended up buying another 1.5TB after that first one went bad in April, so that I could use it to transfer off the bad EHD's...

This sounds like good advice, but I have a few more questions: When I put the Ubuntu disc into the drive while in Windows, to make sure it had the program on it, it loaded an installer with three options, one of which was "run inside windows" which I thought I chose, but it seems to do a...

still don't understand why the EHD is doing thism and file naming question... I tried today to see if the EHD would still act up when attached to my DVR, and it is still causing reboots -- any thoughts on why this one WD EHD just started causing reboots after working fine for so long? I have...

Thanks, this sounds simple - load Ubuntu, find the File Manager, and then start to copy/paste; is that all I have to do? Will this work with if the destination EHD already has some shows archived onto it? If so, I've got my other 1.5 TB drive, but I've already got a few 100GB saved onto it...

If I am the only user of my laptop (XP SP3), then am I automatically the SuperUser/Administrator? Or is this something I have to set after loading Ubuntu? And what kind of "scan disk" do you mean? This is new for me, so I want to be sure I don't screw up the EHD more than it already is. I...

need advice pls in trying to move shows off of an EHD that makes my 722 reboot I tried reading through these two posts, but it goes over my head... :confused: Is there a way that I can hook this EHD up to my computer and manually move files onto another EHD without reformatting for Windows...

I have a few EHD (all WD: two 1.5TB newer Essentials, two older 1 TB MyBook--the kind that Essentials replaced) that I sometimes move between my two 722 DVRs. Earlier this week, I moved one of my 1.5TB Essentials to my secondary DVR, attached as usual, and then tried to view what was on it...
